painfull.. that Sonic All Star Racing transformed easter egg...

This had me giggling :D

Would totally buy Flappy Shenmue if it gave the story a conclusion (even if it's just 'then Ryo left the cave and flew into a pipe and died. The end').

Or Sony bought it in a to be announced in OPM next month shocker :O

I'm sure they could still make the game and then file for the trademark.

Sony or Nintendo... go fetch!

someone at gaf said this on why there was never a HD version

Afaik, it's mostly due to legal/copyright reasons.

back in '12 you may remember that Sega went into a port spree. JSR, Nights...they thought it was a great idea, with very low risk and nice proft potential since, well, they don't want to fund traditional AAA anymore. Multiple ports were in development, among them was the canceled Skies of Arcadia port.

Shenmue case was special since not many people know this, but apparently the engine for both games uses licensed technology. It's not Bink Video or Sofdec codecs, apparently it's related to the very own engine.

Well, the thing is, according to what I've been told, the owner of those technologies folded years ago, and it's not clear who owns the copyright now.

Someone shown Sega a working Shenmue prototype for Xbox 360...but after disappointing sales by JSR and Nights, they didn't care enough to bother with the legal hassle. So it never went through the prototype stage, and the Skies of Arcadia port was canceled.

And I guess my dream of getting Model 3/later arcade games ports went to shit as well ;(

tears may flow freely now...

So pretty much anyone can make Shenmue 3 now. Cerny pls.

Never thought I'd ever say that...

... but... 

I hate you, SEGA.







;_;

I would very much have liked to try out a HD version of Shenmue. Ah well.

Fuck you Sega too
