13 Video Games That Must Appear At E3 2017
7. Shenmue HD Collection
Alright, so this is pure fanboy wish-fulfilment, but considering that Shenmue III is in development for an apparent year-end release, wouldn't it be awesome to bring fanboys and newbies alike up to speed with HD re-releases of the two original classics?
Last year Sega issued a statement that they were "investigating" the prospect of remastering the games for current-gen platforms, but there are two major issues: the technical challenges involved with updating the engine for 2017, and all of the licensing tie-ins that would need to be re-negotiated or more likely removed entirely.
How Likely Is It?: Awesome though it would be, it seems more probable that Sega weren't lying when they told fans last year not to expect the remakes anytime soon.
An E3 tease for a release shortly before Shenmue III would've been perfect, but 2018 or 2019 seems much more realistic. But...never say never: the fact Shenmue III is even a thing is crystal clear proof of that. 4/10
