Title: Rumour - Shenmue HD? (release related to Shenmue 3?)
Post by: Momo on March 16, 2012, 12:01:51 PM: ttp://www.gamerzines.com/xbox/news-xbox/shenmue-xbla-hd-real-finished.html

Quote
An HD port of Shenmue is indeed heading to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, and development on the title has been “finished for well over a year”, according to an industry source speaking to GamerZines.

Our source, who wishes to remain anonymous but does have ties to SEGA, told us that “Shenmue HD is real [and has been] finished for well over a year.

“As is Shenmue II HD”.

So, if true, why has SEGA held off on releasing them?

According to our insider, SEGA chose to sit on their release until it had a clearer picture of the future for the Shenmue franchise, namely, whether or not Shenmue III would ever see the light of day.

SEGA teased earlier this week that it “may be working on” an HD port of Shenmue.

An XBLA release has been rumoured since April 2010 when the game allegedly turned up on a secret developer test network.
Please be fucking true

@Oscar I realize I'm being sucked into a vortex of pain here, just this one final time I will hold out hope for some sort of conclusion to the eternal question of "will we ever get it". I'm only doing so because of the Skies and Shenmue rumour of earlier

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on March 17, 2012, 11:22:21 PM: I think people are going to be surprised to see just how badly this game has aged. Open world games have evolved so much from Shenmue's time, not to mention all of the QTEs, which are rightly reviled today. Shenmue pretty much embodies the very worst of open world style games, without any of the positives.

The only plus side I can see in this is that if these two games do well, we might continue to see further Sega HD re-releases. I'd kill for an HD version of Skies of Arcadia.
