This is released today!
But I have plenty of games to get through before this oneā¦
Same here. Weāve got a whole year until Shenmue III arrives. This seems like a good set of adventures to play nearer the time so that the story will still be fresh when we finally get to play the third instalment. Plus, letās be realistic: Shenmue III may very well be delayed again.
I finally bought it on PS4. Not sure when I will be able to play it but as you said, we have so much time until ShenMue3 comes soā¦
Hopefully for me a Switch version arrives in the meantime. It would be more convenient for me to play in places I cannot play my PS4 and also it would help me noticing less these 99 textures 
I am newcomer ^^
Also got it on PS4. I would have preferred PC, but Iād expect sales on that more frequently. For the same price though, I like the physical copy and the tiny poster that it comes with.
Edit: Probably the most welcome addition, the absolute lack of any load times. 
Apparently Sega had a Shenmue remake planned out and it was cancelled :
Thatās pretty interesting, but I think too much of the original vision might have been lost in the transition. Itās like when fans create mods for their favorite games, like Zelda Ocarina of Time and they completely get the art style wrong. Or, for instance: the SotC remake, looking in some instances worse or too different from the original artistsā work.
I guess what Iām saying is: Shenmue wasnāt completely hyper realistic, it had a sort of hand made feel to it; its own subtle art style. All throughout its textures/design. It would have been nice to choose from the original version or this though.
So Iāve finally started playing this. Iām two in-game days into Shenmue and God Iād forgotten how amazing it is, although of course thereās a healthy dose of nostalgia clouding my vision.
Iāve been hitting the main story beats pretty quickly even though I havenāt been meaning to, and things that seemed to take me weeks (in-game) 20 years ago are happening real fast now. What this shows is that Iām really enjoying the story, and the detective work that happens early in the game, if not necessarily the filler of mini games and exploration - as Iāve done all that before.
