When it comes down to it, Shenmue I & II are very much games that helped define the action and adventure genre of 3D games, meaning that for some, the titles, especially the first game, may feel dated, however, for those who can look past that, Shenmue I & II both offer some of the best in storytelling, atmosphere, and charm, that even some other contemporary titles fail to capture.
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.
