11:10 - Pro tip for Shenmue II. When asking for directions, ask a kid as they'll run to the place you need to be. Old people are the worst to ask. Lol.
You know what's really neat and still unique to this game, all the NPCs are completely unique and do certain things at certain times and walk around at certain times, you'll never see more than one of the same person in the same area at a given time. There's actually a database online about all the different unique characters in the game, and it's a huge list.
I've been a Shenmue fan for 7 years now. When I was a teenager I bought a Dreamcast and starting collecting used games for it. I'm actually pretty nostalgic for these games myself now. One thing that I found very useful was using the analog triggers for running and using the camera. That was something the Dualshock 2 was incapable of, while every other 6th gen console's controller had analog triggers. But ironically, every console except the Xbox successors ended up abandoning analog triggers, and you can see the result here. Ultimately, this will affect Shenmue III as well.
As a young modern day 17 year old who luckily manged to have retro games growing up,I'm very excited for Shenmue collection. Been wanting to play the series for a long time already
The small towns in Japan actually look like that. Neighborshoods are full of twist and turns. Lots of blind alley turns. They have big convexed mirrors on corners to help you see what's coming.
I'm sorry could you tell someone else? I'm in a hurry.....come back later okay? *Walks over looks at some food and then goes into the arcade and sit down across from someone and lights up a smoke.* :3
I've been re-playing Shenmue and having a freakin' *blast!* Shenmue is still creating great memories even now! I had been playing for awhile and was kind of engrossed in one of the stealth bits and then noticed my roommate had been watching for awhile with growing interest and then said "Hey man, you went the wrong way.....oh wait. Whoa that's a *watch??!!"* I about fell on the floor! :D
I went and preordered it last night when I found out it was coming out today. Been playing for a few hours and I can definitely see the charm. I never got a chance to play it growing up because we skipped over the dreamcast, but its been fun so far. The controls are definitely tanky, and I've had a few cutscene flashback moments where its either showing a desk while the voices play out or it goes into the floor and its just a blue screen of space until the flashback ends? But outside of that it's fun, the day and night cycle seems ahead of its time for this one for sure as well.
I always look at shenmue as the game that paved the way for games to get a lot better looking. Though Sega dropped this and went on to "replace it" with yakuza series, shenmue really started the greatness for 3d games for its generation like Mario and Zelda did for the previous generation
david parrish for me shenmue was the game that showed me what games had the possibility of becoming if any game deserves legendary status for paving the way this is it, IMHO
..It depends who plays it for the 1st time in 2018.. See I'm 40 now and I started playing on the Atari 2600. One of my favorite type of games growing up was Point and Click (Sierra) games for example, especially the KQ series, Leisure Suit Larry, and of course Space Quest, Police Quest and so on. (Who remembers Uninvited on the old Apple Macintosh?!). And these games were in english obviously and I'm french speaking so they had to be special to be able to catch my attention so much! Then all sorts of games like Dungeon Master II, Ecstatica II, Quarantine which is very different from the others but still caught my attention because of how dark the game was I think; storywise AND visually.. Anyway, my favorite games always had to have something very creative, or myterious, engaging, intriguing, immersive, or just visually impressive.. I would enjoy Shenmue even if it'd be my first time with the game!
Ironically, given that the OG Xbox and Xbox One are both x86 that means the Xbox version of Shenmue II wouldn't necessarily even need to be ported. They probably could have done a regular "backwards compatibility patch", but I'm still glad they went through and gave it an extra pass of polish.
I just purchased Part 1 and 2 Remastered versions as a bundle pack discounted for $4.49 in the Playstation Store on my Playstation 5. I already own Part 3, but it's also currently discounted for $2.99 their discounts will end on 3/16/23. They might be discounted on other systems, but I can't confirm that, sorry. If you don't already own them, now is the best time to make your purchase!
these new games can thank shenmue for the "modern" game ie last of us ,yakuza, i still love this game not sure if any game will eve ,mean as much 2 me i had this on launch when i was 17 me and my brother dustin RIP finished this and was so sad it didnt get a sequal right away ,awww good times
I never played this back in the day, got it today popped it in my Xbox one today and fired it up and at first the audio bothered me but next thing i know i had played over 5 hours easily.
Finally somebody acknowledges that the Xbox was a Dreamcast successor lol so many discs to this game in 90s i didnt have disc two but i had the rest so im buying this to complete it for the first time(im ashamed). And i didnt play 2 becuase of that same reason plus i was hating on xbox (see first sentence). Great vid tho im excited.
Cool. Did you know you could play the Saturn games you win at the convenience store and play that in your Saturn console in your house (at the dojo). God bless, Proverbs 31
I got that from the UA-cam channel Dreamcast Guy. That's really very cool. It's the best open world of all (including Fallout 3/4 and the GTA 3 to 5 and other open world). There's just something about Shenmue, the pioneer of open world 3D games. God bless, Proverbs 31
Give me this on Switch ! I’m pretty sure it is coming... Ive never played this series and want to but man... these textures... at least you wouldn’t notice as much on the Switch handheld screen. So I haven’t bought the game on PS4 Pro, it will look quite bad on my oled 4K tv so give me a switch version SEGA. There is more money to make.
Nice game, I may consider waiting for a switch version but what I really want to see is a port of "DAYTONA USA" never got to play it on the Saturn but I did in the ARCADE 😎
DJ Crimson Sunbird I know, it's too bad I only have a ps4, and a Switch, I have some other game consoles but those don't connect online and I've never owned an Xbox 😢
I still have the first in Dreamcast and the second on Xbox 360 ( Xbox 2001 version) and they aged horribly in 2007. I can't imagine how bad they are now. Yet we have people who never played either losing their shit because the third was announced at E3 a couple of years ago.
Why can't Spawn Wave include in his game reviews if the game is, 1. Physical Full-Cart, 2. Physical Half-Cart, 3. Digital Download Only, or 4. Any Combination of the three?
Verry good question about newcomers, i think if u grew up with retro games but never played shenmue u may like it. If ur a youngion u probally wont like it.
well you kinda HAVE to play shenmue 1 & 2 to understand 3. You will get used to the controlls after 10minutes, dont worry. its not Resident evil like tank controlls. just a weird feeling first.
Just Saw Dreamcastguys and HCG review. Sadly, I’m still not sold. Maybe waiting for Shenmue 3 would be better. Right now, I just started getting into Yakuza and I’m loving the game. Maybe a price drop or save extra money to get it later in the year. Yet, with Yakuza K2 and Spider-Man coming out soon ... I have a tough decision to make lol.

I hate games that take you by the hand too much! which this doesn't
It's not Shenmue's successor. Yu Suzuki had nothing to do with it. The games are completely different. I really wish people would *stop* saying this! I almost picked up Yakuza and that would have sucked. Thank god for reviews! 0.0
i hope that not just shenmue collections on the switch but other sega old games as well.. i like to see arcade 3d beat em up games such as dynamite deka 2/dynamite cop and dynamite deka/die hard arcade 3d.. i like them both..✌️👍
Dont hate me but those graphics are kinda hard to look at , I know for its time it was good but since i never had the chance to have a dream cast i guess i dont have the attachment to it like most people that played it. A remastered version would do good to this series, not resolution but the graphics themselves did not age too well.
*Courage Ekhaguere* Considering the small budget, I wouldn't bet on it. It may at least look better than anything on the Wii perhaps. They still need to add facial details and animations to a lot of the characters especially Ryo.
uhh ok? thanks for telling me I guess, not sure how I'll feel about some dude named Christopher gunderson having sex with my mom so thanks for telling me you're not interested.
Chris Hutchinson I mean it's a 1999 game, I'm sure most PC's could be able to run it just fine, I say play it on that if you've got nothing else for it.

Mine arrived this morning can’t wait to start it again. One of my favourite games of all time
I loved Shenmue, if you have never played it before it well work the price for both games. Do not put modern expectations on it however.
Ahh sweet nostalgia.. Remember completing these badboyz bak in the day.. Love this✊🏾
The small towns in Japan actually look like that. Neighborshoods are full of twist and turns. Lots of blind alley turns. They have big convexed mirrors on corners to help you see what's coming.
The Yu Arcade- named after Yu Suzuki, creator of Shenmue and every game you can play in arcade.
Cant wait for this game. I still have this on dreamcast
i still clock into my forklift job everyday on shenmue
I'm sorry could you tell someone else? I'm in a hurry.....come back later okay? *Walks over looks at some food and then goes into the arcade and sit down across from someone and lights up a smoke.* :3

Yes, but do you know where I can find some sailors?
Looking for Sailors?
Hi ryo
About the Sailors?
it's a joke based off of a Jontron episode reviewing games on hercules.
Tip: Find a small park you can practice your known moves and itll make the. Stronger the more you practice them
You can also focus a particular move before you crash. :)

I would enjoy Shenmue even if it'd be my first time with the game!
You would probably love this series then so long as you also dug some Dragon's Lair, and Virtua Fighter! :D
Excellent let's play Jon(SW). I am really looking forward too Shenmue 1&2 HD and at that price you can't go wrong guys.
Best 30 bucks spent on a game this year.
Shenmue 2 came out on the Dreamcast too, in Europe and Asia
Love this game, have it on pre order on the Xbox One. Have it own the Dreamcast also.
PS - You have a typo in your header - Colletion !!!!!

If you weren't aware, Shenmue II came out on Dreamcast in Japan and Europe. It was only exclusive to Xbox in North America.

Been waiting, what, about 15 years for 3! Cant wait!!
Time stamps
00:00 Shenmue 1 and 2
Thanks, mate.
nowonmetube no
it was a joke
Thank you, I headed straight to the comments to find this info👍
Yea I agree with you, but he tried to be funny with it and it completely failed on him.
Already bought it so I guess I will have to just see for myself
I never played this back in the day, got it today popped it in my Xbox one today and fired it up and at first the audio bothered me but next thing i know i had played over 5 hours easily.
Very captivating game.
Good video I love Shenmue.
God I want this on Switch
Shenmue 1 & 2 are so fantastic, even after all these years. I almost played through part 1 in the new Xbox One version now.
I'm pretty sure Charlie is in the arcade but I've only played this game 103 times so I could be wrong.
Actually he's waiting for Ryo in some apartments, setting up an ambush in a Tattoo parlor. :3
@@mikejonesnoreally oh snap you're totally right! You find him in the sketchy apartment complex by the ramen shop
I love this game of already bought it On xbox one
Lets get sweaty
bloom off and hdr adds slight improvment sidewalks n roads. need brigtness option on shenmue 2. shenmue 1 seems be ok when turn contrast up 10%
Good video, might have misspelled collection in the title xD
I love playing my shenue on my Dreamcast
Shenmue
Finally somebody acknowledges that the Xbox was a Dreamcast successor lol so many discs to this game in 90s i didnt have disc two but i had the rest so im buying this to complete it for the first time(im ashamed). And i didnt play 2 becuase of that same reason plus i was hating on xbox (see first sentence). Great vid tho im excited.
This actually came out BEFORE Majora's Mask
Well I already pre-ordered it on Amazon \o/
Same it's coming tomorrow
Cool. Did you know you could play the Saturn games you win at the convenience store and play that in your Saturn console in your house (at the dojo). God bless, Proverbs 31
Wait, *that's* what a winning can does?? I've never had one before! So you just take it into the convenience store?? Thanks!! :)
I got that from the UA-cam channel Dreamcast Guy. That's really very cool. It's the best open world of all (including Fallout 3/4 and the GTA 3 to 5 and other open world).

Get to download it today
But... but... do you know where I can find some sailors?
The PC has some issues with snowfall showing during cutscenes and then all of a sudden a qte will pop up
Give me this on Switch ! I’m pretty sure it is coming...
Ive never played this series and want to but man... these textures... at least you wouldn’t notice as much on the Switch handheld screen. So I haven’t bought the game on PS4 Pro, it will look quite bad on my oled 4K tv so give me a switch version SEGA. There is more money to make.
Totally agree with both comments 👍
Ok I finally bought the game on PS4... but I still want a switch version.
Sonic Mania sold the best on the Nintendo Switch, I reckon these games probably would too.
Nice game, I may consider waiting for a switch version but what I really want to see is a port of "DAYTONA USA" never got to play it on the Saturn but I did in the ARCADE 😎
Jose Luis Ruiz I think there is a port on PS3 and 360
DJ Crimson Sunbird I know, it's too bad I only have a ps4, and a Switch, I have some other game consoles but those don't connect online and I've never owned an Xbox 😢
Jose Luis Ruiz Yeah I actually have that game thanks to backwards compatibility on the xbox.
This feels like this would be a really good switch game
You misspelled Collection in the title Spawn.
Hope these games are good for new ppl to the series? Does it feel real out dated?
Are you planning to pick up a physical copy?
I'll wait for this on the Switch
Banjos idk why the hell they didn't release it for switch. Unless we'll be getting them as Sega Ages.
@@Bleek7295 I believe that will be the case
No chance this comes as an Ages collection.
They're hoping it's a timed releases to encourage xbox/ps4 owners that have a switch to double dip. Wont happen
If Sega can release this to Android, they will. They'll port this to Switch, to get dat sweet money, just gotta wait a bit.
I still have the first in Dreamcast and the second on Xbox 360 ( Xbox 2001 version) and they aged horribly in 2007. I can't imagine how bad they are now. Yet we have people who never played either losing their shit because the third was announced at E3 a couple of years ago.
one my most beloved games im bit upset sega lazy port..couldve gave few better options
2:29
RIP Timex watch :'(
Rare Person Yeah they had to remove that. Same with the Coca-Cola cans.
Why can't Spawn Wave include in his game reviews if the game is, 1. Physical Full-Cart, 2. Physical Half-Cart, 3. Digital Download Only, or 4. Any Combination of the three?
Verry good question about newcomers, i think if u grew up with retro games but never played shenmue u may like it. If ur a youngion u probally wont like it.
why is Ryo so dark in especially Shenmue 2 gameplay thats in daytime? It doesnt look correct!
collection*
They should give us an update!
Ive always been interested in these games so I bought the collection I just got past the sailor part and so far it's been a incredible game
Have never played this but heard how good it is. Sure seems interesting but do controls and gameplay feel too dated? Should I just wait for Shenmue 3?
well you kinda HAVE to play shenmue 1 & 2 to understand 3.
You will get used to the controlls after 10minutes, dont worry. its not Resident evil like tank controlls. just a weird feeling first.
Just Saw Dreamcastguys and HCG review. Sadly, I’m still not sold. Maybe waiting for Shenmue 3 would be better. Right now, I just started getting into Yakuza and I’m loving the game.

I hate games that take you by the hand too much! which this doesn't
It’s like a really really simple version of Yakuza (it’s modern day successor).
ZetZatar one of the upsides is Shenmue is fully voice, I like the sidewuest of Yakuza but the nonvoived typewriter sound gave me a headache.
It's not Shenmue's successor. Yu Suzuki had nothing to do with it. The games are completely different. I really wish people would *stop* saying this! I almost picked up Yakuza and that would have sucked. Thank god for reviews! 0.0
Can you confirm the download size for both if you happen to know :)
This collection has tons of bugs even with the Day 1 patch, especially in the sound department.
awsome game! seems like forever and a day ago
i hope that not just shenmue collections on the switch but other sega old games as well.. i like to see arcade 3d beat em up games such as dynamite deka 2/dynamite cop and dynamite deka/die hard arcade 3d.. i like them both..✌️👍
Drinking game: every time Jon says “Shenmoo,” take a drink.
Drink responsibly.
Just bought all 3.
brighness needs added shenmue 2
Dont hate me but those graphics are kinda hard to look at , I know for its time it was good but since i never had the chance to have a dream cast i guess i dont have the attachment to it like most people that played it.
A remastered version would do good to this series, not resolution but the graphics themselves did not age too well.
wish cinema was 16:9
Oh nooo that's not the PC Version sadly...
Meow
Great ports
Shemue need and HD REMAKE, not a remaster
Well shenmue 3 will look a lot better so theres that
*Courage Ekhaguere* Considering the small budget, I wouldn't bet on it. It may at least look better than anything on the Wii perhaps. They still need to add facial details and animations to a lot of the characters especially Ryo.
Awesome
You put colletion
I didn't own a Dreamcast or an Xbox. Wanted to play these for years. Now I just wish they'd remake them, not just a simple port with mild remastering.
Never played it but always wanted. Would be a day one purchase on switch. I guess I would have to pick it up on steam instead. Why Sega, why?!
90min left
Switch?
Alfie Donut not yet but I think it’s a possibility, they would do it if they were smart. Switch owners buy everything lol
Japanese vo?
88oscuro yep that’s included
@@alex_de_tampa Thx! :)
The camera is making me nauseous
I never played Shenmue. Tbh it looks like shit xD
I would like to play it? But I'm still on the fence about it big time.
is it worth playing? sure, is it worth 30 bucks? hell no. 30 bucks for 2 games that came out well over a decade ago.
uhh ok? thanks for telling me I guess, not sure how I'll feel about some dude named Christopher gunderson having sex with my mom so thanks for telling me you're not interested.
Cool bro
I see
Cool
textures seem worse than ports im not sure why
Lol of course you're an xbot. Why am I not surprised.
I'm sorry but I don't see all the hype for these games and Is it just me or does both games look really dark!?!
Jason Breitenbach It was never this dark before. Just another problem.
Hmmm Interesting Guy 05!!
He is using the English voices. Ew
And OMG they put in filters for 2 as a nod to the American audience. The og Xbox version had that feature.
The Character Models look so weirdly designed.
No Nintendo Switch no buy!
twenty eight to three 😂
Man, they really didn't improve most of these textures. Those characters on his letter in Shenmue 2 are super blurry.
If it's not on Switch I'm not buying it.
Tariq Yasiin why lol
Because he probably won't be able 2 play it lol
Chris Hutchinson I mean it's a 1999 game, I'm sure most PC's could be able to run it just fine, I say play it on that if you've got nothing else for it.
Chris Hutchinson of course it can, but they didnt port it
You don't have an Xbox One, PS4 or PC? I feel bad for you lol
