I can't decide if it's genius or of it's cheap as shit for a company the size of Sony to launch a kick starter on stage at e3.

Possibly a bit of both?
 
Sega + Nintendo + Platinum = Bayonetta 2
Sega + Sony + Yu = Shenmue 3
Sega + Microsoft + ? = ?

Could we have another miracle next year?

They also a pretty awesome with their digital download offerings. They're one of those who puts out games worth playing. Like Fantasy Zone II DX on the 3DS, or Monster World IV in english for the first time ever, or the first english release of the arcade version of Wonderboy in Monster Land.

They usually are putting out stuff that is quirky and unique and not just a rom packed with an emulator.



People have tried to downplay it for ages

But seriously, if you know your gaming history, Shenmue is a huge deal.

So true.
 
Adam Boyes: "This is very much their project, but we wanted to celebrate their announcement on our stage...."

I don't think Sony has anything to do with this. But the rest of the funding is surely coming from somewhere.

I don't know. It makes sense if it is Sony though.
That was prime time coverage and to get such a long time slot in as well while there were other bigger 3rd party announcements they could had filled in for that slot.
 
Backed. Not sure why, not really my thing. I feel like I need to contribute, this seems important somehow.

I'm probably just really tired, but anyway, you got my $29.
 
HOLY SHIT! Was GAF down tonight? And shinobi must be on a hospital!
The thread choosing between TLG, SIII, FFVIIR and everything was at the Sony presser!

Yeah, Gaf was down after FF7 and then Shenmue announced within minutes.
It couldn't handle the stress from two megatons.
But the biggest news was that KS collapsed with 503 errors for 20+ mins, people couldn't even give money to the project.

This project looks like it will easily hit 2.5M when EU finally wakes up.
 
$23 million is enough to fund Sonic Generations and Yakuza 2 if I remember right.

Oh what a glorious achievement that would be. I'm betting it'll hit $20 million.
 
OK guys I have just watched teh SOny conference.

Like right now. I wanted to stay up but uit broadcast at 2:00am in UK. I have wok.


But right now, nothing else matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
See my post history. Shenmue is my favourite game, ITS MY GAME.
SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT I am sooooo happy.
Please everyone. Please DONT LET THIS FAIL>>>>AHHHHH We done it, we actually done it.
Thanks to everyone who kept the dream alive. Who tweeted every month. Who are a part of Shenmue Dojo and the 500K Facebook group. Who are a part of the Shenmue community thread..

This was our dream. It is being realised.


Lets keep going Keep retweeting. Everyday retweet #SaveShenmue.
 
I got $29 on it. Never played a Shenmue game but it has a loyal enough fanbase to get my support to make it happen. Hope it doesn't suck for you guys sanity.
 
Does Kicktraq have reliable projections? They're predicting $23.1 million for this:

https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/

Or is that just based off the two data points on the chart?

Not that they aren't reliable but their calculations are like some people's here. They're basing it off of what has been done tonight which is ridiculous because it obviously won't maintain this level of funding for the entire campaign. No idea where it will end up but I would probably guess 4-5 million.

Just curious, but how many units did the original Shenmues sell?

The first sold just over a million I believe. No idea on the second.
 
This is such a joyful time in gaming history.

I have no idea about the Shenmue games but I've seen years and years of fans clamoring for this. It fills me with joy to see the dream of so many people come true.

so much happiness in this thread.

*hugs
