Support NeoGAF

[Jimrpg]

We just need Yakuza Zero.

And Ishin and Kenzan while we're at it...

 

[Lightning Count]

Can't Sega do a localisation Kickstarter? Doubt it would cost more than 2 million to do.

Doubt it would get enough interest sadly.

Remember the gaming world has been crazy for Shenmue III for years, Yakuza by comparison doesn't that kind of heat behind it, pun totally intended.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Bet the game probably would have crossed $2 million already if Suzuki said he wouldn't sell it to gay people.

Uh wat.

I literally cannot get over the fact that this is on GAF front page.

I know. It's incredible. Will go down as a megaton day to top.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Seriously people should be making some noise for HD ports too while the coal is hot.

Believe me once this kickstarters reaches it goal, which at this rate will be the end of the day, that will be the next big move.

This should convince SEGA that we are ready for it and that the time is now.

 

[Windom Earle]

This is what you get for being a non-believer. You were able to buy both PAL games for 40 quid a few years back mint

Shenmue 2 PAL was never cheap. Not a lot of them were made and as it did not release in certain countries... It is already rare. Shenmue 1 is usually super easy to find though.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm heading to bed now. I want this thing at $3 million when I wake up.

 

[Polari]

I'm sure Sega are paying attention.

 

[Augemitbutter]

they would have to remake I and II ports slightly with better controls and such. they will most definitely do it if this KS is a big success, i can feel it.

 

[Ghost]

Want to believe in this, loved 1 & 2, but that video...Can you jump?

I'm gonna pass and silently hope it turns out good.

 

[Theonik]

Someone lemme know when/if a physical PS4 version is added to the Kickstarter, cause I'm sorry to say that without one I'm not backing. I'm not interested in a $25 digital version. Sorry if that comes across as me being a dick, I'm not trying to be. I just either want a physical PS4 version or I need to known that it's only going to be digital on PS4. If we aren't getting a physical edition at all then of course I'll drop $25 for the digital, but I'm not doing that IF a physical release will happen.

You know you can change your pledge later until the campaign gets funded right?

I paid 40 quid for my spare DC copies of both in 2009.

 

[Deleted member 518153]

Despite all the positive emotions I must say that this campaign looks kinda unprofessional and visually unappealing. Thought that nowadays people would come up with a decent layout and not something even my amateurish arse could have done better. That said I wish them success. Hopefully the fans finally get the game they deserve

 

[pupcoffee]

Every 8 seconds it goes up a thousand bucks.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I already emailed them. I've never played through either Shenmue but would back this instantly for all 3 on PC.

I snapped up extra copies of both games earlier, because the price is guaranteed to go up as a result of this.

 

[Dragon1893]

Yakuza 5 coming this year, Shenmue 3 announced... what a world we live in.

Indeed, shit's unreal. I still can't believe that today I woke up in a world where this, FFVIIR and TLG are real lol.

 

[Super Rookie]

Just curious since I don't see it.

How do you know your pledge number ?

Top right, under My Stuff, click backed projects then click on the link

 

[Klossen]

I literally cannot get over the fact that this is on GAF front page.

Coupled with Kojima's final MGS E3 trailer, no E3 will top this again.

I'm gonna be so goddamn pissed if I actually wake up right now.

 

[GeNoMe]

They are releasing a physical PS4 copy right? I sure hope so, will pledge nonetheless.
This is amazing.

Going balls deep, my man.

The first game is a slow burn but well worth it.

I can definetely see them do a PS4 physical version so there's no problem in waiting it out it just means they get your money later.

Back them $5 if you want to support the project anyway.

 

[reminder]

I've never played a Shenmue game. But i've pledged $29 for the digital copy of the game. If so many people wait for so long, i'll gladly do my part and support this project, although I know that the goal will be reached easily, even without my money.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

As of right now, no. The only physical copy right now is the PC version. PS4 is digital only.

 

[GavinGT]

In the pdf it states "licensed from sega" so Yu has likely paid to use the IP

Or Sega just said, "Here, take it. Just get these fucking fanboys off our backs!".

 

[Chittagong]

I literally cannot get over the fact that this is on GAF front page.

This looks like every fan rumour ever combined, absolutely nuts

What a time to be alive

 

[Monochromaticx]

I literally cannot get over the fact that this is on GAF front page.

Unbelievable. Its like E3: NeoGAF edition

 

[Windom Earle]

I paid 40 quid for my spare DC copies of both in 2009.

Great price! But of course it also depends on the condition of the discs and the packaging. That paper sleeve is delicate.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Aaaand we're officially at $1.8 million.

Thats the spirit

 

[Darksol]

1.8 Mil backed.

200k to go.

 

[Hyperactivity]

$1.8 mil

Will make it before the morning

 

[Unlucky]

It's almost 5am here but I can't sleep. I know it will hit $2M easily but I keep getting out of bed and going back to the computer to see what the total is now.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

At this rate they'll be adding an Xbox One stretch goal, almost 2 million already!

 

[Lightning Count]

No stopping us now, $1.8 million!

ONWARDS TO VICTORY!

 

[Chinner]

I can't. I don't understand. I just. I don't know how. I mean. Who? Like. I what? You did...they're...I mean you can't..

*fumbling for wallet*

I mean...you're like...and there's...and you don't understand.

*leaves 100 on the counter*

And this is on what? And it's like wait what? And you kind WHAT I mean WHAT THE

aaaaay lamoo

 

[KazenY2J]

I literally cannot get over the fact that this is on GAF front page.

An alternate timeline come to life.

 

[Mendax]

At this rate they'll be adding an Xbox One stretch goal, almost 2 million already!

probably not. someone has to fund the remaining 90% of the game and we guess its sony

 

[Windom Earle]

It's almost 5am here but I can't sleep. I know it will hit $2M easily but I keep getting out of bed and going back to the computer to see what the total is now.

I know right. Watching this is the best thing ever.

 

[Theonik]

I got them like-new actually but the seller went and packaged them inside simple paper wrapping so the paper sleeves were swecked and I had to have them refund the cost of replacement cases. BUT STILL.

 

[Lightning Count]

Sony is involved in this, so that's extremely unlikely.

 

[eso76]

will have raised 2mils in less than 12 hours.

Again, i wish i had the posts of those people who said "Shenmue isn't relevant anymore, i hope it's put on kickstarter so that you realize that when funding fails miserably" handy,

 

[NeoRausch]

Trivia:

The word "Shenmue" is Japanese and means "funded before the sunrise".

FACT!

 

[Lightning Count]

I know right. Watching this is the best thing ever.

I've got it permanently open in a tab and I check it every 2 minutes or so.

 

[Augemitbutter]

i hope they add a PS4 disc version soon. i can't wait any longer.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Ya know guys I think they just might make the 2 million dollar goal.

 

[GavinGT]

Let me see if I have this straight: Baisha Village is the $4 million stretch goal. And I guess it will be home to 5 new mini-games? And then Choubu and Bailu are further stretch goals that have yet to be announced?

 

[flipswitch]

Ya know guys I think they just might make the 2 million dollar goal.

In maybe 2-3hrs.

 

[Sidewinder]

i hope they add a PS4 disc version soon. i can't wait any longer.

Me too, why is it missing, I don't get it. Waiting for it to pledge my bucks.

 

[Lightning Count]

In maybe 2-3hrs.

I reckon in under 2 hours might be possible.
