Shenmue_HD_remasters_Sega_comment1.jpg


SEGA Europe’s boss Jurgen Post has recently talked about the possibilities of doing Shenmue 1 & 2 HD remakes and ressured the fanbase that they have been looking into renewing licensing to do the remakes correctly.

This is what SEGA Europe said about the Shenmue 1 & 2 HD remakes:

“There is definitely a desire [to go back to our classic games], Even online, people are constantly talking about products they would like to see come back, and Shenmue 1 and 2 are probably in the top two places. We are looking into it. It is an old IP, it is a beloved IP – and not just by consumers, but also within Sega, we have people saying that if we could do Shenmue 1 and 2 all over again, we’d definitely go for it. The issue is that it is a big game. It is a project from many years ago. If we are to do it, we’d want to do a fantastic conversion to the current platforms, and there are a lot of licences in the game, which were cleared many years ago, so we will need to renegotiate those contracts. We are looking into it. We haven’t given it a green light, but it has our full attention.” – Jurgen Post, President and COO of SEGA Europe

This whole licensing issues from old games have plagued SEGA in the past when they ported over Crazy Taxi on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, omitting the iconic soundtrack due to SEGA not wanting to pay the licenses for the old tracks. This lead fans to getting upset and ever since then SEGA has made an effort to gather all the licenses when remaking or porting games. The last big examples include Castle of Illusions (which, now expiring license is making them pull it from shops) and Jet Set Radio.

What are your thoughts? Does Shenmue 1 & 2 HD remakes seem like a reality now? Jurgen Post has been teasing the return of classic franchises for awhile now, do you really think SEGA Europe actually have something up their sleeves?

Sega’s ill-fated Dreamcast console played host to a lot of classic games now lost to time, but one of its most-beloved titles is being revived for VR… sort of.

Space Channel 5, a fondly-remembered rhythm game developed by United Game Artists and published by Sega itself, is getting a brand new VR demo. It’s named Space Channel 5 VR: Ukuki Viewing Show and it will be on display at the 2016 Tokyo Game in Japan, which runs from September 15th – 18th.

There isn’t much information on the demo itself right now, though we do know it will be running on the HTC Vive. A teaser site displays footage from the classic music game through a pair of VR lenses, so we can assume you’ll probably be doing a bit of dancing using the kit’s position tracking, though you’ll have to book a slot for yourself to find out. The experience is being developed by a company named Grounding, in cooperation with Sega itself.

The original Space Channel 5 cast players as an interstellar reporter named Ulala. Set some 500 years in the future, she battled with aliens in dance-offs. This was done by repeating input commands issued by the enemy to a beat, eventually getting the chance to shoot them. It was brilliantly weird and it’s not hard to see that concept translating to VR, getting you to throw your arms up, down, left and right.

Sadly, this demo is just an experience for TGS right now; no official release plans have been announced. Sega does already have one VR dancing game coming up in Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live for PlayStation VR, though, so it’s not a stranger to the field.

The demo will be featured at the KDDI booth, which is inside the HTC booth on the show floor. If you want to see it featured in the west any time soon then we’d suggest you let Grounding and Sega know.

My favorite console of all time and the only one I ever pre-ordered. Took me years to get over Sega killing it prematurely.

I had a PS2 and a PS3 but they never gave me the same feeling. Glad I picked up one up last year. The games have aged very well.

Took me a while to get over it too.

It's funny because when my nephews visit they wanna play games & ask me to break out my Dreamcast. They love the console & years later you can still see & get that same feeling of magic playing it.
