Sega has nothing to do with Shenmue 3. If they want to make Shenmue 1 and 2 HD, they don't have to get Sony involved.
>another rerelease
woooow i wonder why sega is dead.

Who is this guy and why should I trust him?
>Answering a fan question about whether the two remasters could ever happen, Sega community manager Dan Sheridan responded in the video: “With regards to Shenmue I and II HD, of course we would love to release these tomorrow. Sadly, it’s not as simple as porting the games to current platforms as we will need to ensure that any HD remaster lives up to the quality of the original titles. And with games as immersive as Shenmue I and II, there are further complications from licensed products that were included in the original games. That said, we’d love to do it and are currently investigating how to make it a reality.”

>Old movie is rereleased on Bluray
Cool ! I love that movie ! Can't wait to watch it in a better definition !
>Old game is rereleased on modern platforms
FUCKING REHASH. THE VIDYA INDUSTRY IS FUCKING GARBAGE AND CANCER.
They really need to make it happen too. Trying to play them again in NA is literally the worst thing ever.
i'd rather they do jet set radio future remaster first

Would buy the shit out of a PC version due to no load times but I refuse to feel any hype until we have a teaser, a trailer, anything that literally says "it's real and happening right now"

Some sort of vidya industry analyst. He often tweets interesting stuff. Worth a follow.

Sega doesn't need fucking Bluepoint to port it - they can do it themselves and it's not that big of a deal. The issue is that some of the libraries used in the game are either unlicenceable without paying an exorbitant sum of money since they are now for extremely niche applications or have their rights up in the air and would require hiring a whole department just to investigate who the fuck holds them right now and if they would be willing to licence them back at all for a sum that still makes the release profitable. Opting not to use the troublesome libraries means that you'll have to do real work and might as well rebuild the whole thing, which is not economical and would probably not be done by the time Shenmue 3 releases, which is why there is an interest to begin with.
They'll probably just do static recompilation and work around all of this shit if they decide to do it at all, and it's probably not even going to sell that great.

That's not the only problem. The problem is that some companies actually lose their source code for their games, which is just mind boggling to me. Which is why you need people like Bluepoint to actually reverse engineer and modify the game on an assembly level to work on modern platforms. Libraries are troublesome but when you have to work from scratch based upon older builds and or just general old design documents, that's just out of just about every game company's scope of technical talent. It's much better than rebuilding the game from scratch, which no company would ever do unless it made you mad cash.
But as said, they might not do it since the business side of things are pretty shaky for a rerelease.

I actually never got a chance to play these so fuck you
