Indian Noob: "Shenmue I and II might make for a beautiful case study for someone tracing the evolution of action adventure games. But even the remaster has faults that justify its initial rocky days. Having said that playing Shenmue HD collection, will definitely help you set yourself up in anticipation to Shenmue III. Try it if you are more of a connoisseur than a hardcore gamer."
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Shenmue 1 & 2 and more are set to leave both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC. This gives you just a couple of weeks to grab any achievements you might need from these titles.
Amazon has discounted the physical version of Shenmue I & II to as low as $18.71 on PS4 and Xbox One.
DSOGaming writes: "Modder ‘Streamer2k’ has released a brand new texture pack for the Shenmue 1 & 2 collection. This texture pack features 2K and 4K high quality textures that overhaul the games’ nature. This basically means that you can find more detailed textures for trees, grass, bushes, plants, flowers and more."
I really wish the Shenmue remake on Xbox 360 wasn't canceled. It looked really good. This will have to do.
I think it's great people do stuff like this, but to be fair, it never fits the original art style, plus you can see some of the new textures mess up with the Japanese characters in the textures. Clearly someone western have made these without the knowledge of the language.
