VentureBeat said on an article in their website:
These remasters come ahead of Shenmue III, which is releasing for PlayStation 4 and PC in 2019. The game raised over $6.3 million on Kickstarter. Releasing these remasters will give old fans a chance to re-familiarize themselves with the story, but they can also help bring new fans to the franchise, which hasn’t seen a new game in nearly 18 years. Those could then translate into more sales for the upcoming Shenmue III.
The remasters include an updated user interface, a fully scalable screen resolution, and an optional new control scheme.
