Support NeoGAF

[GavinGT]

Feels good to have the old avatar back.

 

[RPGCrazied]

This will be funded by tomorrow afternoon. Damn, already almost at 1.5 million.

 

[Gamezone]

Why wouldn't Sega publish it?

Because they care too much about mobile gaming at this point.

 

[marcincz]

No matter 60, 70 or 100 € I want a collector edition with forklift. Do you hear it, Sony?

 

[Dusk Golem]

I go to sleep and I wake up to this? Is Gaf ok? Did someone die?

GAF died for a while, Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Shenmue 3 all in one hour. But it's back now.

 

[Krejlooc]

I just seriously can't believe this is happening

 

[Trojan X]

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

Excellent! Thank you for the info.

Now, with the KS at $1.4million+ within 2.5 hours, it is almost safe for all companies to go full steam ahead on every aspect on both development and marketing and then some.

Incredible. This need to be covered by more medias.

Why wouldn't Sega publish it?

Sega has basically gone Konami, only in a less... aggressive manner. Known small niche title doesn't sound like something they want to sell.

I want a collector edition with a sailor.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Look who's coming to dinner.

Yoshida?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

These emotions.

 

[Aki-at]

This isn't true and people still overlook the console/PC content they have planned and announced. Besides PC is a core area for them, wouldn't be surprised if Sony publish on consoles and SEGA publishes on PC.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

damn, its already at 1.3 mill and it was revealed like what, two-three hours ago??? geezus christ.

 

[Furoba]

If they get to 40 million, they'd better include Dreamcast as supported hardware.

 

[ExVicis]

Yoshida?

Sugimori and Yoshida at dinner together? Oh god what a great dinner that would be to attend. If only I knew Japanese fluently.

 

[loaf of bread]

For the uninitiated; is this Ps4 console-exclusive (PC/PS4)?
Even though it's on Kickstarter?

Yes

 

[RiverBed]

How stupid it will be if the game does come out and it ends at a cliffhanger?

 

[~Kinggi~]

These emotions.

Watching them lose their shit multiple times one after the other was hilarious. Poor guy was hyperventilating.

 

[Copenap]

These emotions.

Hahaha, gives me goose bumps.

 

[Alphahawk]

Most likely there will be a PS4 physical release. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how console manufacturers handle physical releases. You just can't say "Yeah this is happening" without Sony giving their approval. Yooka Laylee was the same way.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

This is like, the best day for gaming OF ALL TIME.

 

[Theonik]

Just dropping this here as well.

I think SEGA gets a far worse rep then they deserve, honestly. They gave all sorts of niche, wonderful titles a chance, and listened to fans and provided excellent support on their titles, but they are shit at advertising and not focused on their old franchises so people condemn them. They created, in my opinion, some of the best underlooked gems last generation.

Im pretty sure they want to milk the digital marked before announcing a physical copy for PS4. The game is too big to get the indie game treatment.

 

[Father_Brain]

Why wouldn't Sega publish it?

It appears they sold off the Shenmue IP, given that their name isn't at the end of the video or in the copyright at the bottom of the website.

 

[Augemitbutter]

This is like, the best day for gaming OF ALL TIME.

it is. definitely.

 

[Hazanko]

I laughed harder at this than I should've done.

 

[stan423321]

Is anybody counting on anything else?

I can somewhat agree with this. However....

Puyo Puyo Tetris never came out here. So I am still angry.

Shenmue 3 is just a few minutes after FF7, so keep watching. They barely regain their composure before the next bomb drops.

Lol, that was great.

 

[Backfoggen]

Shenmue 3 kickstarter and it wasn't instantly funded? Everyone must still be asleep.

 

[Peter Sjöstrand]

Can't believe it's actually happening. Been waiting 14 years for this ever since I beat Shenmue II back in 2001

Fully agree. They also have been killing it in the PC space.

 

[Screaming Meat]

wut

 

[Sijil]

Sega hasn't gone full Konami, they're one of the strongest PC publishers around with Relic and Total War under their belt.

That was so good knowing what was coming lol.

 

[AuthenticM]

I hope they release HD remasters of the first two Shenmue games. I'd like to play them.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

"HERE!!!" UUGGHHH HHUGGHH

I want Delin as a collector, lmao.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

That gif in the OP gives me life. That's why E3 is special.

 

[Krejlooc]

It's already the fastest video game kickstarter to reach $1 million in funding, and the second fastest kickstarter ever in general.

This thing is obliterating records. It beat Yooka-Laylee by like 4 hours.

 

[Majukun]

Because Sony will probably publish the game in some way. Come on, $2 million for this game won`t nearly be enough. Didn`t the first game on Dreamcast have a 70 million budged or something? Microsoft knew the demand for Shenmue 3, and they obviously didn`t give a shit. They also have way more money than Sony.

yeah but it also was 15 years ago..the game nowadays would need nowhere near that amount of money

 

[GavinGT]

1.4 million!

Agreed.
It's kinda shocking that Konami and Sega would even be compared.

 

[greycolumbus]

1.4 Mill crossed

Most of North America is in bed right now. Wait until tomorrow. The total is going to go places I have a feeling.

Man, never seen people go so apeshit about a game. Wow.

And great gif material, too

 

[driver116]

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

Sony then?

 

[Maleko Saint]

Really can't wait to hear that soundtrack again.

 

[lazybones18]

$1.4mil

 

[NeOak]

They weren't allowed because Tetris Co. gave the western license to Ubisoft.

Nintendo had to pull the GB Tetris from the 3DS VC eShop
