I'm guessing a Kiwami 2, and maybe ports to new gen of the PS3 titles, since Yakuza seems to sell quite well in Asia now.
It's be a bit weird if they also handled the HD version of Shenmue, it would seem easier for Sega to contract BluePoint or something.

Very true.

In one of SEGA's financial reports post image restoration claims, one of their focuses was an increase in in-house development and less reliance on outsourcing to ensure quality. If SEGA had to use one their own development teams Yakuza studio would make the most sense. 

I see, but if the Yakuza team is involved I feel they'd push to make Shenmue more of a remake than a remaster. 
In that case it'd make sense to announce it at one of Sony's bigger events, like TGS, rather then at this smaller one.
