Hi everyone, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of our cult-classic fan movie, Shenmue: The Gang Edition! The movie has been re-released on our new website and on YouTube for the first time as a full-length movie (so not split into 8 different parts - cause back when we uploaded it like 10 years ago, YouTube still had restrictions on how long videos could be)!
We've gone back to the source files to re-edit and re-master the movie for a new generation of Shenmue fans to discover. The movie has been upscaled to HD resolution, which to be fair, doesn't do much when your source footage is VHS. Still, the movie looks better than it ever has online and includes a few tweaks to the edit as well. Not Snyder-cut level stuff, but we did have our Shen Hua actress Eileen record a brand new voiceover for the prologue to replace the in-game audio we used in previous releases!
This movie helped to launch our careers back in the day, thanks in no small part to the original movie being hosted on Shenmue Dojo and the amazing reaction we got from fans right here on these forums. If you've never seen our movies before, or you haven't watched them in a decade or so, now is a great time to do so! And we still love to hear from fans after all these years, so if you have any stories or memories of watching our movies back in the day, share them here!
