Shenmue HD "Done For A Year," Coming To PSN, XBLA
ShenmueMost Dreamcast fans will tell you that Shenmue was one hell of a title. Those same fans have been begging for a third installment, too.
And while this isn't a sequel, it's still great news: According to GamerZines, a high-definition iteration of the Sega classic has actually been done "for well over a year" and will soon head to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
The source asked to remain anonymous but apparently has ties to Sega, and said very simply that "Shenmue HD is real." The source added, "As is Shenmue II. That's big news for the fans, but we assume the next question is obvious- Why hasn't Sega released them already? Well, the source said Sega chose to wait until they had "a clearer picture of the future for the Shenmue franchise, namely, whether or not Shenmue III will ever see the light of day."
Okay, so now that these remakes are coming our way, does that mean no...? Shenmue III is out? Or does it mean the opposite? Guess it's all in how you interpret the situation...

Edit: and new voiceovers. They could leave the super bad ones as an option for comedy though.

Yeah, I'd be happy if they at least attempted Shenmue3. It wouldn't need to be a miracle game, or nothing, just at least provide some closure to Shenmue2's wide open ending that made you say ooooh can't wait for SHenmue 3.

I hope they offer the European version of Shenmue 2 when they do release it as it had Japanese voices with English subtitles. I remember getting a boot disc for my Dreamcast so I could play it. It was a dream come true after the voices from the first. I had to save up valuable newspaper delivery money to get that when I was a wee lad!

I am pumped for these HD remakes more than alot of the full 60 buck new titles.
I actually crave them! I am constantly on the lookout for new HD remakes.
I want to get rid of all my ps2 titles so I can have them as ps3 titles.
Its cause I want to get rid of my faulty 60 GB.

Awesone news, though. I just hope SEGA saw fit to place dual analog controls as an option. Really, moving your character like a tank worked for older games, like RE and early Onimusha's but today that just ain't gonna cut the mustard. Isn't that right Fuku-san. FUKU-SAN? OH NO! Lan Di, my father, the INCIDENT!!!!
