Shenmue: The Movie Remastered (Fan remake)

[@Mr357]

Thank you for watching everyone! 20,000 views is quite an achievement for a little guy like myself. Stay tuned for Shenmue II: The Movie! The current plan is to premiere it live on the Shenmue Dojo Twitch channel on Dec 3rd. www.twitch.tv/shenmuedojo

[@Mr357]

Thanks! It was made by a ShenmueDojo member named Jibby. He's also helped me with the upcoming Shenmue II: The Movie.

[@Mr357]

No, why do you ask?

[@finaltuned2755]

Any chance this will ever see a retail release? I'd buy day one if it happened. Maybe it could somehow see an independent bluray 4K resolution release with a Sega licence to prepare for the upcoming Shenmue III that they have licensed and greenlit, like they did with the original Shenmue The Movie in preparation for Shenmue II's launch on the Dreamcast in Japan and Europe. This version is obviously greatly extended far beyond a standard 90 min feature, so what would the chances be?

[@Mr357]

I don't think it could ever happen without involvement from Sega, and even then I would want to do a remake to improve various things. I'd highly prefer that they re-release the games so that more people can have their own experience instead of watching one I created.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

​@@Mr357Well done beating chai in the arcade. I always thought you couldn't beat him and it was rigged as part of the story as you can't see his health. I've never seen it play out like that. Only rio having to rest in bed after chai defeats him which makes the fight at the very end where you knock him in the water seem more daunting and revenge like....

[@hmdchy]

I played this game in 2002, 2005,2008,2011,2014,2018 and every time I notice something different and be amazed. Greatest game I have ever played.

[@AlexMeyersVids]

the voice acting is amazing. utterly astonishing

[@LuciPog]

ALEX MEYERS?? YOOOO DO A VIDEO ON THE SHENMUE MOVIE

[@Sonicfalcon16]

It was probably cool that they had voice acting. And every character was voiced for everyone.

[@jackiecan3420]

thank you for this. I am financially not able to get another copy of this or even a Dreamcast..with this movie you've satisfied my desire to play my favorite game of all time again and this movie should be enough till i buy it again. Big Up

[@dodesskiy1]

You don't need a DC now to play them. Cheap on Steam or other areas.

[@RicoX-17]

I got Shenmue 1 & 2 on my phone. Need a DreamCast Emulator (Redream is the best one) and download the ROM files for em. Enjoy the masterpiece of Shenmue! 😎

[@rickyandreou]

I can't believe the number of scenes/encounters I never experienced after playing endless hours of this game multiple playthroughs as a kid. Such an amazing rich game full of content. I never knew it was possible to defeat the Lan Di worshiping creep in the arcade. I always lost that first fight.

[@ryohazuki2006]

Man, the death scene of Ryo's father Iwao-san will always be one of the most emotional death scenes in video game history... Always gets the hair standing up. Great job with putting this together! :)

[@Mr357]

I wouldn't hesitate to call that cutscene the greatest in any game to date.

[@supertramp2125]

Both Shenmue movies were very well made. There were a few 'cutscenes' that I never knew about. Really helped develop a bond between Nozomi and Ryo that I missed when playing through the game, among some of the other characters too. Thanks again for taking the time to piece this well edited movie together!

[@RetroQGaming]

It's crazy to think that no matter how many different times I've played through this over the years, in this version there are a few smaller scenes I've never actually seen. Excellent job on the remake, much more comprehensive and enjoyable!

[@StormHowl]

It's the weekend. I've got five hours to spare. LETS DO THIS!

This brings back a lot of good memories of playing through the first game back in 2000. Thanks for making this, I imagine it must have taken a long time to capture all of the footage and then put it all together :)

[@Grandmastergav86]

When people cross examine this game these days they need to consider that this was released 17 years ago and realised over a period of several years including Saturn development (which was ultimately scrapped) my god was it groundbreaking at the time and is still my favourite videogame experience of all time.

[@VyseLegendaire]

Must've taken a lot of work, and it looks great. Props. Also the tribute at the beginning was a good call.

[@Timii240830]

My best video game experience of all time!! Thank you very very much Mr .357

[@dcmarvel87]

+Mr.357 excellent job, thank you for doing this. The Shenmue community are the greatest gamers in the world. I've never seen so many gamers from around the world contributing to a game like this. Yup Suzuki needs to hire you.

[@Mr357]

I don't know about that, but it wouldn't surprise me if I found myself working on Shenmue III: The Movie in a couple of years. If YS Net ever asked me to make some kind of promotional content for them, I'd be down to give it a try.

[@SkillJim]

This is amazing, thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this!

[@CanonGames]

RIP Ruben and Roger. We got Shenmue 3 baby. We did it.

[@kevinpleece]

nice work dude i did a shenmue 2 movie fan edit about 6 years back and i love it when talented people like yourself really enjoy editing this beautiful epic of a game loved it

[@LeynosJehuty]

Wow! Takes me back to the early 2000s when I would see projects like this all the time from Shenmue fans. Thank you for this! I think I have an idea of a few people ecstatic over this. :D Good time to be a fan of this series.

[@shinjiikarir]

This is a beautiful homage to a beautiful game. Cant wait to play 3. Thank you!

[@firestepher72]

The music makes me cry every time. BTW, I was a fan of Roger Swan's aka IwateSwan youtube channel. Seeing the dedication photo just made it more touching.

[@TuanTran-kn3cc]

Thanks for giving us this amazing experience again!! Must have been a lot of work making those movies!!

[@JSMan5000]

8 Days till Shenmue 3!! Just finished this one, now to watch number 2!! :)

[@SolidMGSnake]

Thank you for your efforts on putting this together, sir.

[@YT-Maz]

Thank you so much for this, i remember every scene clearly but i almost forgot and you reminded me how amazing the music/soundtrack is

[@QuickTimeFailure]

Thanks so much for this. Not only has this been so entertaining to me, but I was also able to make a video using the same method as you did. I was waiting out on an official HD port from Sega but the way you made this was so brilliant that I figured I could finally make a QTE montage for this game. Thanks again for both this and the Shenmue 2 movie. Knowing firsthand how difficult using demul can be at times, I truly appreciate the hard work you put in this video!

[@davehedgehogUK]

Awesome work Mr 357. Watched the whole thing on a 100" screen and loved it. Repeat whet my appetite for Shenmue 3, as if it needed wetting after 15 years wait but it sure helped. Huge thumbs up 👍

[@davehedgehogUK]

Really** not repeat. Doh!

[@Mr357]

Thank you! How'd it look on a 100" (I assume) projector screen? That's quite a change in pixel density.

[@davehedgehogUK]

Much better than it did on a 21" CRT TV back in the day :D was nice to see Chao get beat as well. I knew it could be done, I could just never do it. Too impatient back then, I'd love to have a go now after mastering the dark souls games.

[@Mr357]

Just parry religiously, and use low, fast moves like Side Reaper Kick. It's also a good idea to bind a strong throw move to the right trigger; I prefer Demon Drop (the move I finished him with).

[@davehedgehogUK]

I'll remember that if they release it remastered. I'm hoping/assuming they will at some point before 3 comes out cos they can't expect all the ones that loved the original to make it a success, they'll need to get the younger lot on board and a remaster would do it. Still makes me sad it didn't sell half as many copies as God awful games of that gen did. It was a masterpiece. 15 years on I can still remember bits of it like yesterday, and yet I can't remember most games a week after playing them. Anyway mate, thanks for the upload, it was a treat to watch all at once.

[@gibbs615]

Ya know the original Shenmue the movie that was made during Shenume 2 Xbox, the way that one began with that part when those bullies were bullying Nozomi & that kid & Ryo showing up to save them was an even BETTER introduction scene to Ryo!

[@tjchi82]

OH SHIT! Memory lane! Can't wait for the remastered and or Shenmue 3

[@spirit5251]

hello from 2016 im from 2019 and the shenmue 3 is here

[@Hwi1son]

Almost time!!!

[@novinworks]

This is wonderful. Really enjoyed your work when Dojo shared them. Please keep up the great work. -Ali

[@ianleaks1613]

great movie. hope they include remastered versions with number 3

[@austinbilleci110]

thanks a lot dude, I can finally play shenmue II

[@brendotron]

Fantastic job on this... So great to see Shenmue presented in HD, looking & sounding amazing... I look forward to you taking on Shenmue 2 😄

[@smegul1464]

I subbed liked and shared you are a legend for doing this massive fan here.

[@Mr357]

Smegul14 I'm humbled, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

[@RicoX-17]

Huh, everytime I got the scene where Tom leaves Japan on the plane and Ryo looks up at it, it's always a dark, rainy day. Anyways, thanks for the upload. I just finished playing the first game again since, geez, 20 years ago, and now I'm playing again the second game. I can't play the 3rd game just yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[@AlexhibitionTV]

Thank you so much for making this!!

[@GozaProductions]

Unbelievable this was in 1999... It's more in depth than some game that come out today.

[@Mr357]

Only some?

[@GozaProductions]

Mr .357 You're right.. the vast majority sound better? hahah.

[@Mr357]

All or nothing man. "Vast majority" is definitely fair though.

[@GozaProductions]

Mr .357 it's my personal all time favorite. Other than that, Silent Hill was my go to. 1 2 and 3 and pretty much most of 4. After that I gave up.

[@liamboardman1741]

Thankyou from a Shenmue Fan you are awesome!

[@jrno93]

i like how you added the fight scenes , nice touch.

[@AdmiralJonB]

Was just watching at 1:12:00 and that nostalgic beeping popped up, instinctively clicked my mouse and screwed up my work. Thanks a lot... :P

[@Korany]

OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REMASTERED VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jhrcenita]

Thank you Mr. 357, you don't know how happy I am.

[@HiddenZblade]

Play Shenmue during lunch break and back to school with t-shirt full of ketchup..Best Highschool experience ever.

[@cobainfat]

This is brilliant! Well done!!

[@reck1224]

Dude, this looks awesome. Crisp and nice for it's age. Well done.

[@Mr357]

Thank you! Emulation can be pretty cool sometimes.

[@HellsinTheGamer]

Nice vid. I've been doing a shenmue movie also but by episodes. Haven't finish yet but close been going at it for about a month.

[@lawnchairs4356]

Awesome job my shendude. Gonna watch to prepare for the new game

[@Fnatic2010]

Adding subtitle would be really nice though.

[@SCARaw]

THIS fan remake movie is mush better than lazy 2k18 remake for shenmue, thanks

[@Terry_L._Horton_Jr.]

just a thought: you see when ryo went to the park and ask the old man about the mirror? and the man mentioned it was a secrecy of yin and yang? in shenmue 2 Xiuying's brother gave her the white part while he kept the black part

[@tailguner]

Thanks for posting Mr.357. Loved it!!!! This kids got a death wish, he has some screws lose. LOL....Best game ever made....I just dropped my mike!!!

[@102293]

The voice acting makes me feel like I'm watching a classic 90's martial arts film 😂

[@blaze33]

soo i never played any shenmue game, I do remember trying at my friend's house back in the day.. thought it was fascinating. now quite interested in playing shenmue 3 was thinking of watching this video as part 1 summary and play part 2 entirely..or should do it other away around?! don't have lots of free time as before obviously, otherwise would have played both.. unless i SHOULD make time?!! I dunno, any advice will be appreciated

[@Mr357]

Play both if you can, but I would go with 2 if I had to choose.

[@rahulvarghese8307]

You left out one battle where you battle against Enoki and his gang the 2nd time and a qte scene where you encounter a drunk guy

[@darkowl9]

I am looking for some sailors...

[@davehedgehogUK]

I see

[@RicoX-17]

Excuse me

[@briankennedy3038]

Why did you not use the hi-fi audio from the DVD? The original movie had a far superior sound mix

[@jdrobin1]

Excellent Job...such memories

[@moonlightostrich3690]

I think the best part of the official movie is the fights, whoever did em back then really knew the game inside and out, despite how damn sloppy he was. shame the rest of the movie left so much to be desired.

[@jeffrielly]

From a distant land in the east, from across the sea, he shall appear. He does not know the strength hidden within him, the strength that would destroy him, the strength that would fulfill his wishes, when he is ready he shall seek me out, and we shall brave together the rocky path. I shall wait, this encounter has been my destiny since ancient times. A dragon shall emerge from the earth, and dark clouds shall obscure the heavens, and in the midst of the pitch black night, a morning star shall glisten ...alone.

[@GandRpictures]

This is amazing! Thanks!

[@nimoracing571]

You did a good job. Thanks

[@pitty04]

Awesome video. Thank you so much.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Well done beating chai in the arcade. I always thought you couldn't beat him and it was rigged as part of the story as you can't see his health. I've never seen it play out like that. Only rio having to rest in bed after chai defeats him which makes the fight at the very end where you knock him in the water seem more daunting and revenge like....

[@sebs2306live2]

Awesome job !!! I sure miss Rodger Swans videos !!! Take care. 💙💚💙

[@Crypto1234]

Hope for a subtitled version, also great work man :)

[@doubleas2380]

Thank you for this. Hazuki forever!

[@djklink20009]

hmmmmm dunno if i am going to be completely satisfied with this but it's better than the dvd

[@trcsonic]

One of the best games ever made.

[@reykennedy5716]

Awesome movie!

[@TheGoldenstealth]

Thank You 😊

[@BigDramaDrew]

Awesome work my man. Any chance of a similar job for the second game? Once again, a fantastic job.

[@Mr357]

I've been looking into it, but it seems like I'll have to wait for a new version of Demul. There's too many bugs if I use the same version that I did for this, and currently none of the newer versions have all of the options I need.

[@TheAgeofWarriors]

I think we are getting HD ports before the third game. It will be far more easier to make a movie of a second game if this happens. You could also remake this remake. lol

[@highlandfoodies]

dam i really wanna play this again

[@CottonBoxer]

HOW DID REUBEN AND RODGER DIE ? So young. smdh

[@jgfear]

This would make for great holodeck program

[@Hwi1son]

10 hours to go!!! let's go Ryo!!! Shenmue 3 yea!!!

[@darksid33]

this is awesome

[@TheAtariSan]

Hi, i missed the scene 24h after the phone call for nozomi's confession, i cannot seem to see either of the scene around 1h55.

[@Mr357]

Are you talking about the one where Ryo's 2 friends come to his house to talk to him? That one requires going to Yokosuka Bar after 7:00 the day after Nozomi calls.

[@TheAtariSan]

Yes, exactly, i missed it idling for some fuku scene.

[@aryudsoh]

Have you considered breaking this into parts? At almost 5 hours long it would be hard to do in one sitting.

[@DycypleLo17]

Best

[@cakestalker]

Great work! :) This is really well put together. Did you use the GDI version for this?

[@Mr357]

Thank you! Yes, I used .gdi's ripped from the PAL version of the game. There's no particular reason for that though. The North American version would have been fine too.

[@ilmanu7826]

wow great job! love Shenmue!

[@rokpogorelcnik9443]

woooow... great remaster

[@kazic284]

Huge fan of these games, played them when I was younger. I can't wait for Shenmue 3. Fuku-san is an idiot. He ruins everything lol.

[@Mr357]

Yu Suzuki allegedly said in a Q&A that Fuku-san has an IQ of 86.

[@kazic284]

so he's borderline slow? I never knew that.

[@85bits38]

#SaveShenmueHD !

[@laojin_original]

Thanks!!!

[@notsoinvisiblelibra]

I really was diggin this part 4:01:08

[@dsar8262]

I want to play Shenmue 1 but cannot afford it, I also can't play it with emulator but will try, so thanks. I tried to watch the movie disc that cam with Shenmue 2, but it was scratched, I hope this is better than that version.

[@awesomebrand6122]

It's beautiful ;o; Especially since the hair & shadows don't seem bugged like on nullDC when I play LOL

[@Mr357]

Thank you, Policenaut. I used Demul (build 230915). It's more resource demanding than NullDC, but as you can see it does an excellent job. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, there should be even less glitches than I experienced.

[@Nuk3m]

Do you prefer that version of Demul over a higher version for any particular reason?

[@Mr357]

Phil S Yes. None of the newer versions allow you to change the "internal" resolution of Demul, so unless you play at 480p like an actual Dreamcast, you end up with a pixelated, or aliased, mess.

[@Nuk3m]

Thank you.

[@Mr357]

Phil S For this I had the internal resolution at x3. Anything higher is nearly impossible to maintain a solid 30fps with unless you have a very, very good PC. Even at x3 I had to do "practice runs" of everything I included in the movie in order to avoid frame dips when I was actually recording. It's something with the cache, I assume.

[@Gonk]

How did Reuben and Rodger pass?

[@Mr357]

Reuben died in a boating accident, and Rodger died of acute pancreatitis. I recommend checking out Reuben's musical works, and Rodger's KZbin channel. They were both very talented people.

[@ScottLaban]

I never understood why Fuku-san says, "Hey, don't use THAT move!" when you use the Darkside Hazuki throw on him. Is it like forbidden in sparring or something?

[@Mr357]

Definitely childhood trauma

[@ScottLaban]

That would make sense. On the flip side, I always loved that he says, "Whoa, what was THAT move?!" when you use the Double Blow on him.

[@jgfear]

“Let’s get sweaty” 😂

[@chachaprince111]

which do you consider the definitive version, this or the 4:3? were the cutscenes originally in 4:3 and have been cropped? thanks!

[@Mr357]

This is what I would call the definitive version. Originally, Shenmue was 4:3 only since the Dreamcast didn't support widescreen, but people like the ones I credited have created codes and tools which allow the Dreamcast and its various emulators to output full 16:9 without stretching anything except text and HUD elements. As you can see, this causes pop-ins which most people (to my surprise) don't seem to mind. With Shenmue II, these have been eliminated completely from the left and right edges, but do appear at the top and bottom (far less frequently).

[@chachaprince111]

+Mr .357 thanks! and great work!

[@reinholdhoffmann1410]

Sehr Cool.

[@jetliigor]

So this is all cut scenes.

[@Mr357]

Mostly, yes

[@amonnunesfarofapoop7047]

Why am I the only one who's cringing at the introductory scene(not the "In memory to" scene, idiot")? Maybe was it because I made that stupid Xemue comic that I've never finished?

[@antiravage]

Now do shenmue 2. Or you could always make this one but with the japanese version instead.

[@moonie9000]

Hey great job! Where did you get the font at the beginning? I tried ripping the subs font a few years back but I didn't do a great job. Would LOVE this font. Thanks.

[@Mr357]

It was made by IlDucci of ShenmueDojo. Here's where I got it from. mega.nz/#!XF01jJiQ!jLikh3-cm4Da3vptyaCcxVgJhwVCrP38GueLeBaqJF0

[@moonie9000]

That's perfect! Thanks!

[@sc06mad]

where are the subtitles?

[@f4d3r_tv]

Yeeeesss

[@kazic284]

did you skip the scene where Mark tells you about his brother? kinda surprised that you left that out.

[@Mr357]

No, and in fact that's impossible to miss. You can see it at 3:22:33

[@kazic284]

Mr .357 thx. that's weird I have watched this the whole way through. I didn't skip anything. don't know how I missed it.
