Support NeoGAF

[Nyoro SF]

Shenmue killing the internet! Nothing is loading! lol

 

[elhav]

Double posted because Gaf exploded lol

 

[Glass]

That jacket reward. And the figures!

So yeah, this is getting funded.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Just pledged so much money to get out of the cave.

 

[jmizzal]

2 mil thats all, it will get that easy lol

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

I find it funny that translations are behind different stretch goals. Where's my translation to russian for 3 millions?

 

[Vanille]

has a project ever crashed kickstarter before?

what is actually happening today

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Exactly. Why should the general fan pay for this?

Probably because it will be a money losing endeavor they're doing for the marketing PR of it.

 

[_woLf]

Is this real life?

 

[Xellos]

Backed. Really hope this makes it.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Unbelievable .

 

[Cymbal Head]

WHY WON'T YOU LET ME BACK YOU

 

[MrCunningham]

Shenmue Kickstarter on UE4?!!

That Ryo model looks kind of weird though.

 

[MaxiLive]

I've backed $120! Get to it guys

 

[MikeE21286]

Man I wish Shenmue had a PS4 physical copy

 

[kollapse]

I am on the very precipice of hitting the $10k donation.

 

[Skux]

Never played the games but I see how much people love them. Pledged $5.

 

[Laevateinn]

Finally succeeded in backing. In for 300.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Wait this is Sony exclusive AND they want me to kickstart it?

Lol

This.

Why isn't Sony and Sega funding this, why do they need other people money to fund it?

 

[Ovid]

BACKED!!!!

I can't wait. I love that game so much.

 

[Dennis]

Lan Di!!!!!!!

[Snarfington]

Okay. You can have my $120. Sure. For this, any day. <3 let's make it happen, guys.

 

[fates]

I saw the amount at 200,000+, now it went to 15k, what?

 

[usp84]

I am no expert but 2 million dollars seem low for a game.How is it possible noone was willing to pay?

 

[ShogunX]

Crazy crazy shit and not something I'm sure many of us thought we would ever see. Slightly bummed out about the whole Kickstarter thing mainly due to how long it's going to take to be developed from here on out but fuck me.......Shenmue 3 is real!

 

[SegaManAU]

$500 donated.

 

[chifanpoe]

Well I just backed this. Glad it is happening.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I said we will not see Shenmue 3 at E3, I was wrong, but at the same time the game only needs 2 million to be made and nobody funded it? Really disappointing, and I don't think the game will be made the way fans expect it to be.

I agree. These companies wipe their ass with 2 million and thats what it's going to take (at minimum) to get it done. Maybe we have to factor in marketing or whatever but still I'm happy as fuck that we *might* be getting it. I think this will sell WELL over that 2 million.

 

[Jopie]

I cried. No shame.
Its gonna hit 2 million by like tomorrow.

 

[kurahador]

2mil?? You mean Evilore could've fund this years ago??????

 

[Conflict NZ]

Shenmue 2 cost $80 million, how the hell will this cost $2 million?

 

[Redtale]

I pledged $29 for now. Interesting that PC is the only physical version. They'll still reach the goal but hopefully they add a physical version for PS4 version for those that want it.

 

[SpotAnime]

Finally!

And by finally I mean finally I could log into Kickstarter, not finally I get Shenmue 3 after 14 years of waiting...

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Man, this fucking thing is going to fund by the end of the conference.

 

[boredandlazy]

It'd be nice if they did a HD re-release of the first 2 since I've never played them. Then I could feel more comfortable about backing this kickstarter.

 

[Fried Food]

I keep getting redirected to the discover page?! I can't access the kickstarter page!!

 

[RdN]

And... Backed!

Let's do this , boys!

 

[BadAss2961]

Copies available for just $29 too.

 

[20cent]

already at 360,000, I'm so happy for Yu Suzuki

 

[Seik]

My second backed kickstarter!

What a day this is.

EDIT: WHY NO CONSOLE PHYSICAL EDITION?! D:

 

[vinnygambini]

Is SEGA involved in this, or are they a hands-off partner? I mean, don't they own the IP.

 

[dork]

This is insane. A billion dollar company just asked us to fund a game for us to buy.

I wish the guy best of luck. But it's weird to see this at the conference.

 

[Red Blaster]

This.

Why isn't Sony and Sega funding this, why do they need other people money to fund it?

because they are assuredly going to lose money on this

 

[Zedox]

My heart is crying.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

They probably are, Kickstarter is just to get some extra. No way they are doing this with just 2 million.

Yeah, you're probably right. The originally cost around $20 million (not counting inflation) and that was a Dreamcast game.

 

[Glendemonium]

Wow, now I'm sure Sony has an informant working for Microsoft, they had to do something to top their event with THREE megatons. Shenmue 3 was so unexpected, even if it is a kickstarter.

 

[Nickle]

It would be hilarious of it didn't reach it's goal. The fallout would be devastating.

nevermind, didn't see it was in the hundreds of thousands. Thats insane.

 

[kamakazi5]

My wife will kill me if I tell her I'm paying this much for a game.

I think the best part is I saw so many people talk about how a Kickstarter would fail because the fans were all talk. This is awesome.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

PC version? Nice, will keep this on my radar.

 

[AgentClassy]

Absolutely insane!! Its actually happening!!!
