And we don’t even have to wait months until Ryo Hazuki’s revival…<\/p>\n

The digital version can already be pre-ordered with a 10% discount on PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam, for ~27 dollars. (For Europe, it seems the Steam version asks for 31.5 euros, which is… more.) The physical edition of Shenmue I & II<\/strong><\/em> will also come with a two-sided poster, as well as reversible cover art to express that the games are set in 1986’s Japan.<\/p>\n

A new Q&A<\/span><\/a> page also reveals more information. Shenmue II<\/strong><\/em> is based on the Xbox version due to the texture mip-map, filters, and the snapshot system, neither of which available in the original SEGA<\/strong><\/em> Dreamcast version. We can choose between the Japanese and English voice acting, all three platforms will offer the chance to bring over your Shenmue<\/strong><\/em> save file to Shenmue II<\/strong><\/em>, and you can save the game anywhere. The games are upscaled to HD, and they will come with full achievement support on PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/em>, Xbox One<\/strong><\/em>, and PC<\/strong><\/em> – the last platform will also offer keyboard and mouse support, too (plus it will contain Denuvo: you will have to connect online at random intervals because of the anti-tamper).<\/p>\n

There are downsides, too: the games will run at 30 Hz. That means they will have a 30 FPS frame cap, as the engine, the scripts, and the source code was all hard-coded to 30 Hz. The cutscenes will be letterboxed (while the game runs in 16:9, this explains the black bars in a few images below!), but the games will offer a modern control scheme to control Ryo with the analogue sticks. The arcade games will also all show up in the Shenmue I & II<\/strong><\/em> re-release.<\/p>\n

d3t’s port job will launch on August 21 on PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/em>, Xbox One<\/strong><\/em>, and PC<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
