Shenmue needs the PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

tommyboy81 · 04-26-2008, 04:34 AM

I don't think I'm the only one who loves Shenmue. But from what I've read I don't think its going to get completed. From what I understand the creator said if theres a demand for if they might make it. I would love to see that happen. I would love to see the first 2 be made for the PS3.

What about the rest of you.

Edit: Poll is now up

jq71586 · 04-26-2008, 04:44 AM

I played the first one for Dreamcast and it is still one of the 3 best games I have ever played. Of course, I voted yes.

Musashi · 04-26-2008, 04:51 AM

Sure why not?

tommyboy81 · 04-26-2008, 05:06 AM

The only way to demand this is by e-mailing them. But thats a no duh

Blu-Generation · 04-26-2008, 05:13 AM

I voted yes.

Big fan of Shenmue here, played both 1 and 2 on Dreamcast. Heck, I even skip class to go buy X-box just so I could pick up Shenmue 2 remake, which comes with the Shenmue movie. That's the only reason why I bought an X-box, eventhough I sold the system now I still kept that special Shenmue with me.

So yeah, I hope they remake it on PS3 and continue onto part 3 to wrap up the story. It was just getting GOOD too!

tommyboy81 · 04-26-2008, 05:19 AM

So you still have the game to after selling your X-box to. The 2nd one to me was that good. It came out around the time GTA Vice City did. Bought both of them. Didn't even touch Vice City. Was hooked on Shenmue. Never played the first oe though. But would love to.

You should play the Dreamcast Shenmue 2 without the stinky dubbing

I keep hearing about a port of the first 2 games for next-gen systems. Doing it should be fairly easy since they're about 3 GB each (many assetts are duplicated across discs). Supposedly Shenmue 3 is scripted,once they port the engine implementing it, aside from voice recording should be fairly easy to do

The problem is being assured they'll sell enough copies to make it worth it

I think thats why he's having second thoughts and was saying if there was a good demand for it. No matter which system. I vote PS3!

I would have the first pre-order.

I think there focus is on Yakuza. Didn't the guy who created Shenmue create Yakuza?

ToonyLoons · 04-26-2008, 05:43 AM

I dont know if I would have even owned an Xbox if it wasn't for the US version of Shenmue getting canned on the Dreamcast and moved to Xbox. It just took too long for the sequel to reach the US. By time Shenmue 2 made it to Xbox, it was too late. I never finished that game. I loved the first one and was getting into the second one. For some reason I just could not finish it.

I dont think I would buy a remake as I still have the first two and I can play them. And I would be interested in seeing Shenmue 3, but I doubt I would buy it.

tommyboy81 · 04-26-2008, 05:45 AM

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Shenmue: Online

BStecke · 04-26-2008, 05:52 AM

The only thing I remember from the first Shenmue is, "That day . . . did you see a black car?"

I never did play the second one. But it should be amazing, visually, on PS3. I'd probably check it out.

Yes, I still do. In good condition right now as well.

Oh, I recommend that as well.

As for me, I've played them all.

Shenmue 1 (Dreamcast un-dub version and dub version)
Shenmue 2 (Dreamcast un-dub version)
Shenmue 2 (X-box version, dub)

Own Shenmue 1&2 OST

I love Shenmue, I even went into research on the script that was said to be for Shenmue 3.

I'm hoping they re-release it for next gen as a special box set.

PS3, 360, Wii, whatever, bring it on, I'll buy all of them.

I'm not sure, but I know he created Virtua Figthers.

I'm fairly sure the project is dead as nothing about the game has been announced since 2006. There are rumors it was quietly canceled.

I wish Sega would release Shenmue III and IV on PS3.

The games share a similar game-play style and are both made by Sega. I'm pretty sure Yu Suzuki had nothing to do with Yakuza.

Don't look forward to it, it got canned.

david2189 · 04-26-2008, 11:59 AM

shenmue 1 is still my favourite game of all time

Shin-Ra · 04-26-2008, 01:33 PM

I wouldn't mind picking up a second version of Shenmue and third version of Shenmue II but the focus should definitely be on getting the third game out.

DutchBoy · 04-26-2008, 02:09 PM

I only played the first one (on Dreamcast) but I loved it.

I'd love to see this picked up and run with again.

DetroitSportsFan · 04-26-2008, 02:18 PM

I'd like another Shenmue game as well.

Member-13397 · 04-26-2008, 03:36 PM

I voted earlier for yes I want another Shenmue game. I rented the first one on dreamcast, I loved it, never beat it or got on the 2nd disc even. I didn't know there was a 2nd one, I still have Xbox, no Dreamcast. Anyway I just ordered the 2nd on amazon used because this thread put me on to it, thanks! It has the Shenmue dvd too.

Such is the question with all game development/translation.

I picked up a Euro edition of Shenmue 2 Dreamcast. I haven't tested it on my TV yet.
