Eric Kelso and Paul Lucas are Back! – Ren / Lan Di Mod for Shenmue 3

Posted on April 4, 2021 at 14:00 PM BST

 

That’s right folks!

Eric Kelso has reprised his role of Ren for Shenmue 3 in the form of a PC mod which you can download right now by heading over to: https://www.shenmuedojo.com/forum/index.php?threads/release-shenmue-iii-eric-kelso-as-ren.3541/

When Shenmue 3 was released, many fans were disappointed to find that Eric Kelso had been unfortunately omited from the voice acting cast. As everyone i’m sure is aware, Eric Kelso provided the incredible English voice for Ren from Shenmue 2, as well as Fuku-san and Guizhang from Shenmue 1 (amongst many other NPCS). Once again due to the passion of the fans Eric returns to reprise his role via a downloadable fan made mod for Shenmue 3 on PC. The mod is extremely easy to install and it will replace the current voice files for Ren (voiced by Greg Chun) with Eric’s new lines!

But wait…that’s not all!

 

As eagle eyed (and eared) viewers would notice from the above trailer…Paul Lucas has also reprised his role as Shenmue’s main villain Lan Di! This is incredible to see both Eric and Paul reprise their original characters, bringing back the character to Ren and Lan Di, that perhaps was lost for die hard Shenmue fans used to their original voice talent!

On behalf of everyone at the Dojo and the greater Shenmue community, we wish to express our upmost gratitude to both Eric and Paul for being so generous to record and provide all of the voice lines for their characters in Shenmue 3! Another win for the Shenmue community as a whole!

Let's take a slow walk around Bailu Village's big lake and soak up that ambience. 🚶‍♂️🌄 The setting sun, the rolling clouds, the constant sound of wildlife... this is how you create immersion in a game. ✨

Shenmue Remake Trailer - Fan-Made by LanDC Community legend LanDC has allowed us to pop this on our channel. What if Shenmue were remade for a modern generation? This fan-made concept reimagines the original Shenmue while preserving the atmosphere, story, characters, and essence that made the classic so memorable. Updated visuals, environments, and cinematic presentation bring Ryo Hazuki’s journey to life with a fresh modern touch—while staying true to the spirit of the original. This is a non-profit fan concept created purely for entertainment and creative purposes. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by SEGA or the original creators. There is no intention to release any playable game. NOTE - Many of you will note this is AI. Whatever side of the fence you site on the wider debate, the intention from the creator is to show a concept/what if scenario. This is made by someone who has dedicated years to Shenmue, understands the series, it's lore and wants this series to continue. It is made with the intention of showing what could be possible and to give something for Shenmue fans to enjoy if they so wish.

SHENMUE 1 AND 2 60FPS AND FLATSCREEN MOD - Shenmue Dojo Building from work of yesteryear (full credits and details on our site) we have a new mod from Tensai37. 60FPS in Shenmue 1 and 2 + combining a Widescreen mod too! How does it handle? Matt tests it out! This mod is more than just a bundle; it fixed the issues with NPC movement in Dobuita, automatically switches to 30fps when needed and fixed frame times. The only things it carried over was the widescreen logic and initial 60fps logic but heavily adapted. Full Details - https://shenmuedojo.com/media/shenmue-i-ii-flatscreen-widescreen-60-fps-fix/ Download Link -https://github.com/Tensai30/shenmue120fpsfix/releases/download/1.0/Shenmue-I-II-Widescreen-120FPS-Fix-1.0.exe Credits - Some credit may belong to the following modders, but the code has changed so much that I honestly no longer know which parts remain. If I left you out and you would like to be credited, please let me know: DerPlayer Philzyeah Lemonhaze Ner0 Esppiral Ramonf Link to previous modding projects whereby this mod has been inspried from and additional credits – https://github.com/Shenmue-Mods/ShenmueDKSharp Shenmue Dojo is not responsible for producing this mod, nor the credit attached to this work.
