I just noticed Shenmue was rereleased on the PS4 about 2 week ago. I am typically not the type to go back and play games from years gone by but I loved the first two (I think most on here werent fans). Might have to give them a go ahead of number 3 next year.
Aaaand I just saw wullie's post.
Its based in 86(?) I think, so they may have looked for that sort of vibe.
