Let’s Play the First Hour of Shenmue August 21, 2018

While he has heard for years about the greatness of Shenmue, Maniac never owned a Dreamcast and was never able to play the original Sega Classic. Today, that issue has been rectified. Shenmue I & II was re-released today and can be purchased on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. To celebrate, Maniac played through the first hour of the first Shenmue blind with no guide and no guide.

We’re going to do this Let’s Play on the PlayStation 4 Pro in 1080p HD. The game was not augmented for 4K UHD or HDR so playing it on the Xbox One X or PS4 Pro should not make much of a difference. As usual, all gameplay is provided with full picture-in-picture video commentary.

Shenmue I & II is out now on the PS4 and Xbox One.
