@SEGAhoarder @SEGA The series has received so many bumps in the road

@mjh31183 @SEGA So much misfortune, it's crazy. You can't help but feel envious of other certain franchises which haven't had issues with funding.

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA There's supposed to be 7 games in the series and I mean I'm still waiting to avenge my father....

@relic0ne @SEGA Yes, my agony is almost as bad as Ryo's. 😂

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA I LOVED the first game on Dreamcast.

@Yotsuba07 @SEGA The first felt more personal, the second more expanded. The trailer here shows they properly nailed the original aesthetic, albeit in a more modern form. A real shame it got cancelled.

@SEGAhoarder @Shenmue_Dojo @SEGA The games don’t need to be remade, imho, they are perfect snapshots of their time. There wasn’t anything like them. Still isn’t.

@commienwosting @Shenmue_Dojo @SEGA See, I had that same view. However, I am open to the possibility now of them going in that direction, IF and it's a big if, they can recapture the same feel of the original games. I think honestly speaking, it'll be the easiest way continuity wise, from a graphical point of…

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA Oh what could have been 😧

@BenjaminGr10227 @SEGA They must still have these assets somewhere, so it would be easy in theory to continue in the same vein. Certainly far, far easier than the job the YS Net team had with having to start pretty much from scratch in some ways. The dream scenario would definitely be full SEGA JP…

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA They explained at the time that although they were exploring a remake, there were issues with the engine that made it not fully compatible, and it would have taken more than double the time to release.

@realmentealopo @SEGA It may've slipped my mind, but it was so long ago now with this video, that it wouldn't surprise me.

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA Still convinced that the Yakuza Studio. could easily create a Shenmue Remake or a worthy sequel. In a way Shenmue was the proto Yakuza. Sad that SEGA lost faith.

@retrotastico @SEGA Well, they're obviously an experienced team and are in the good books of SEGA JP. They would be a massive asset to have on board, should anything materialise in future.

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA The Digital Foundry video that Shenmue Master repurposed their video from offers more information, including potential reasons for not going ahead (issues with assets, scale of production, etc):

@DannyBrownCA @SEGA Yes, I remember the initial video a few years back was spread via another page. Will repost soon. Kind of sad when you think the level of work that likely went into this and it just ended up getting canned. Also, arguable as to whether this or the KS route was the better one.…

@SEGAhoarder @SEGA This is so wild 😍

@SEGAhoarder @ElectronicEggs @SEGA Bean counters? It's always the bean counters
