You'd be exactly right too. People would roast a new Shenmue game alive. The spiritual return of Panzer Dragoon didn't fare so well, so I think a series like Shenmue would be laughed off in the modern age. Compared to everything that's been released since, I don't think the mechanics have aged well enough to hold anybody's attention. What was good for the Dreamcast would probably only serve to bewilder people now.
