Shenmue I & II HD is coming out but it will have a few changes. One of the changes is getting rid of the brands that were there before. Some of the highlights mentioned below.
- Shenmue II is based off the Xbox version of the game, but for this collection the bloom effects added to that version are now optional.
- Brand tie-ins such as Ryo’s Timex watch, and Coca-Cola logos, have now been removed from the games. (Note: American and European versions of Shenmue used the fake brand Jet Cola instead, bypassing this change.)
- The aspect ratio for gameplay is adjustable, and you can play in 4:3 fullscreen or 16:9 widescreen. However, cutscenes will stay in 4:3 fullscreen. There is also a high resolution mode (1080p) and an original mode (480p).
- Load times have been cut down to around 1-2 seconds between areas.
- There are no microtransactions in the game, contrary to some rumors that have surfaced recently. (The rumors were sparked by a misleading quote by Sony that was actually referring to purchasing things with in-game money.)
- There are no online features such as leaderboards in this collection, nor is Shenmue Passport included in the collection.
