Okay hear me out here. This came to mind as we were talking about the Like A Dragon: Ishin announcement in the Ryu Ga Gotoku section.
I don't have the tech know how to know if this is possible or not, but would it have been possible for YSNet to port the original Shenmue code over to UE4 and basically build a new game out of it?
Again, I don't know if this is technically possible and the last I heard, they apparently couldn't use the source code anyways (at least when it came to the fighting aspect - or so I heard) but would it even be possible to do that?
Take the original source code, port it over to UE4 so you have all your systems in place and then build a new game out of it?
Or would that just be a theoretical nightmare and would it have just been easier to rebuild it all in scratch like they actually did?
Just a thought. I'm not a programmer so I have no idea if this would even be possible.
