SEGA hat in einem FAQ einige technische Details zu "Shenmue I&II" genannt, die am 21. August 2018 für PC, Xbox One und PlayStation 4 erscheinen werden. Für die Portierung des zweiten Teils wurden zum Beispiel der Source-Code der Xbox-Version verwendet. Ausserdem findet das Gameplay in 16:9 statt, die Cutscenes sind jedoch in 4:3 (Letterbox). Ansonsten werden nur 30 FPS erreicht und man darf Spielstände von Spiel zu Spiel übernehmen. Mehr Infos stehen in der Auflistung.
Which version of Shenmue II did we port?
- For technical reasons we started with the Xbox source code and data. This has the advantage of some additional features missing from the Dreamcast version: Snapshots system, Filters, Texture mip-maps to improve anti-aliasing
- As some community members will know, the Xbox does have some graphical differences to the DC version which will also be present in our version.
What features have we added?
- As well as the herculean effort of porting the code to the new platforms, there is a huge number of things we have added.
- Choice of Japanese or English speech in both games
- Saves can be carried over from Shenmue into Shenmue II on all platforms
- Saving anywhere in both games
- HD resolution rendering
- Updated UI
- New post processing effects for both games
- Full controller support and configurable mouse and keyboard for PC users
- Full Achievement support for both games on all platforms
What does Modern control scheme mean?
- Modern control scheme means we have enabled use of the analogue stick instead of the D-Pad for movement of Ryo, as well as adding full mouse and keyboard support for PC users.
Will the games run at 60Hz?
- Throughout the engine, game code and scripts there are hard coded assumptions about a fixed 30Hz frame update rate, so the game needs to run at 30Hz.
Is the game 4:3 or widescreen?
- Gameplay where the player can control the camera is 16:9.
- Cutscenes are letterboxed in their original formats.
Can the emulated arcade games be played?
- We are pleased to announce that all the arcade games in the original are fully playable in the new release!
Who do we have to thank for this incredible work?
- The amazing team at d3t.
