A little texture re-tinkering has brought Shenmue to the PC version of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round. Since the world is deprived of new Shenmue prospects, one modder decided to take matters into their own hands.
While not a full conversion, you do get to enjoy a texture reskin for Ryo Hazuki, Lan Di and the Dojo. The mod is entitled ‘Dead or Alive 5 Shenmue Edition’, and will be the closest fans can get to a new game.
”Have you ever wanted a Shenmue fighting game? You already know it won’t happen, EVER!” said the mod’s creator, ‘Esppiral’, on the Shenmue Dojo community forum.
”…I decided to mod Dead or Alive Last Round for PC, it is just a retexture, (until someone decrypt the game and thus we can make real character swaps).”
The mod - which is available through the forum post - replaces Jacky as Ryo, Akria as Lan Di and the Dojo as the Dojo. Score one for the fans.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round released on PC through Steam March 30th.
