So I want to play first games, but don't want to go through with the terrible voice acting. Is it better to just play the Japanese dub version with subtitles? I know 2 offers that for the Dreamcast, but what about the first game?
It turns out if we fail a QTE we have to start all over at $0.

Imagine if it continues at the pace it's currently out for the next 31 days,
Currently it's nearing 2,100,000.

i think they can reach around $10,000,000 in 31 days, but I'm being conservative lol

This would be ideal. However, according to the kickstarter FAQ, Sega still hold the rights to Shenmue 1 & 2.
Would love to see it happen, I hope some agreement can be made.
They need only ride the coattails of all this buzz. There's no risk at this point, really.
EDIT: $2.1 million achieved.

someone has to pay for the remaining 90% of the budget. could be sony...
LOL
Who in their right mind would ever think this game would fail?
I would expect people to make it happen if it was 4 times the goal set.

Yo Sega, or anyone, whoever. Rerelease the old games. Plz.

The fact that you think this game can be made on 2 million is funny.
Take your trolling comments else where.
I know there's obviously some significant effort needed to port it, but surely they must be looking at this and realising they're leaving money on the table if they don't do this.

Disgusting look how much enthusiasm their showing for a video game they should be more like the Giant Bomb guys who don't give a shit about anything because their keeping it real or something.
Sad that GB fans are saying that lol
I don't know that guy well enough to comment on his intent, but a lot of people fail to understand that Kickstarter doesn't completely pay for game development in most of these cases of Kickstarted games. These studios use it to fund a portion (sometimes a large portion) of the development, but also to raise awareness and demonstrate demand to investors.
We'll see. We don't know who's funding it yet.

FUNDED
I just gave to my first, and probably only Kickstarter project. A modest $30, but I feel good. And I bought the game with it heh.

Pretty sure they will also fund it. Especially since it's PS4/PC exclusive.
This is a weird misconception to me. It often isn't shown just what kind of other investment other investors put into some games. Particularly here, outside of YsNet and Yu Suzuki himself, there is another sponsor listed and there has been no disclosure of the amounts involved. On top of that it is common for other deals with investors to be made that are provided should the kickstarter succeed. There is more than $2 million going into this game obviously
Imagine if they did that but still kept Shenmue 3 a PS4 console exclusive. That would be some epic trolling!
$2 mil seems like a low minimum as well.
I'm guessing Sony's also involved on the funding.
