Shenmue 1 & 2 collection 2018

Shenmue fans have been hoping for a long time that Sega would release remasters of the first two games of the series leading up to the highly-anticipated release of Shenmue 3, and now they have confirmed that they are. Sega has announced that Shenmue 1 & 2 will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later this year.

The company calls the collection “the best Shenmue experience to date,” with lots of modern features to take advantage of. These include the likes of “fully scalable screen resolution, choice of modern or classic control schemes, PC graphics options, an updated user interface, and the option to enjoy either the original Japanese or English voiceovers.”

Unfortunately, Sega did not announce a price or release date for this collection, so we’ll have to wait a while longer for those details. It stands to reason that they would want to get this collection out before the release of Shenmue 3, which is currently targeting a release in the second half of this year. The collection will be getting both physical and digital versions on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, though it will be digital-only on PC.

The Shenmue series was groundbreaking in many ways, pushing the boundaries of what video games were capable of in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Both games were well-received, but the extremely high production costs and underwhelming sales meant that the future of the series was put on hold for many years. That all changed when series creator Yu Suzuki took to Kickstarter to get the third game made, raising over $6 million in the process.

Shenmue 3 is in development for PlayStation 4 and PC, with more information on the story and a firm release date expected to come at E3 2018.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
