It was just announced by Gio Corsi during their Live from E3 Stream on twitch. It was something to gauge interest and since it hit it's goal they are officially partnering up to help fund and develop with YS Net.

Anyone know how to get the video since the stream is still going?

well there it is.jpg

 

[loaf of bread]

This confirms no Xbox then

 

[entremet]

Really not a fan of this approach.

 

[hatchx]

So it's exclusive I suppose?


2016-2018 are going to be amazing on PS4.

Really not a fan of this approach.

This too.

 

[hal9001]

Well then

Then why the Kickstarter?

Just for those wondering about the 'budget':

 

[Turkoop]

 

[fedexpeon]

I need to hear it from the horse's mouth.
Anyone got the recording/archived video?

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

This needed to be out on the forefront, not that the KS has been hurting, but good to have confirmation. I'm sure more will pour in now as a result.

Edit: Hope this translates into some kind of HD Shenmue 1 & 2 scenario, I'd like more than the cinematic shorts the KS stretch goal is getting.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Yep this is not coming to Xbox one it seems.

 

[Korezo]

Really not a fan of this approach.

So you prefer no game?

 

[Mory Dunz]

Really not a fan of this approach.

I guess the game wouldn't exist otherwise...?

 

[TimmiT]

This confirms no Xbox then

Not necessarily, Sony has helped fund independent games that later on released on Xbox before. Like Joe Danger.

 

[Tenebrous]

Shocking.

Thanks for the PC version, Sony!

 

[Soi-Fong]

Really not a fan of this approach.

Shenmue 3 is happening.. I think we can deal with this. Sony could have been asses and not allow it on PC, but low and behold it's on PC.

 

[Rymuth]

[Seanspeed]

Kickstarters *really* need to make it clear when their aim is only to gain major publisher support.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

This was obvious from the start.

 

[entremet]

So you prefer no game?

I don't see this as a binary choice.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Well there it is

Kickstarters *really* need to make it clear when their aim is only to gain major publisher support.

Are you serious? Is this your first kickstarter? You thought 2 mil was all they needed to fund Shenmue 3?

 

[jaypah]

So they bought Shenmue? Lol, what a crazy time.

 

[Trashcan Man]

Then why the Kickstarter?

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I find it interesting that Sony is absolutely fine funding games that'll also come to PC. Sets a good precedent for other 3rd party games they're involved in, maybe. I expect a similar situation with Final Fantasy VII R.

 

[Nafai1123]

Really not a fan of this approach.

What's the problem? Early fans get the game for cheaper and feel like they supported it's development.

 

[Par Score]

This is big, big!

Sony's backing (likely contingent on the KS proving there is a market, which boy howdy has it) transforms this from a passion project, to a passion project with some serious muscle.

I didn't think I could be more hyped for Shenmue 3, but I am!

Most of us called it.

So good.gif

 

[SgtCobra]

SHOCKED /s

Thanks Gio and team, the SSFIV debacle has been forgiven.

 

[dmr87]

This confirms no Xbox then

Kickstarter said PS4/PC so.

Then why the Kickstarter?

Interest.

 

[KalBalboa]

Then why the Kickstarter?

... To gauge interest.

 

[ironcreed]

That 2 million in 8 hours is all they needed to see.

 

[Dwayne]

Didn't hear the word fund myself, but maybe I missed a beat.

 

[Occam]

Expected this, a $2 million budget made no sense.

 

[Ridley327]

Not necessarily, Sony has helped fund independent games that later on released on Xbox before. Like Joe Danger.

PubFund titles are handled a lot differently than Sony coming in to help develop a game, like this one.

 

[Man]

Really not a fan of this approach.

No game then.

 

[BedBison]

I really hate this "use a kickstarter to gauge interest" approach that's been going around.

 

[Nanashrew]

Seeing as Sony is known to fund these kinds of games all the time I'm surprised they didn't just fund it out right instead of using Kickstarter. I don't like this.

 

[Ein Bear]

Really not a fan of this approach.

I'm a fan of any approach that gets me Shenmue freaking Three.

 

[wild wild rice]

I hope this means we get a Shenmue 1/2 release on PS4.

 

[Yurikerr]

Was there any doubt that the Kickstarter exists only for PR/Marketing?

Anyone seriously thought that 2 million (or whatever the kickstarter could raise, let's say 6) could finance a new Shenmue game?

 

[Compsiox]

The kickstarter was a ploy. I fucking hate everything.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

An impossible game will now exist. All praise to them.

Its a hell of a move. Hope it works out for them, because I'd love to see similar moves in the future.

 

[injurai]

Then why the Kickstarter?

That was the "something" to gauge interest.

People actually voting with their wallet is more accurate than people claiming they will buy a game.

 

[Ray Down]

Sucks that there no bone version but if this was the only way we would get Shenmue 3... So be it.

Make something magical Yu

 

[Hoo-doo]

S-s-so this means it'll actually be a full, big, real Shenmue game?

You done good, Suzuki!

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Not necessarily, Sony has helped fund independent games that later on released on Xbox before. Like Joe Danger.

This is a bit of a different situation than Pub Fund, I assume.

 

[Father_Brain]

Good on them for not blocking a PC version, then.

 

[Smutpeddler]

Then why a kickstarter?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Really not a fan of this approach.

seriously?

they just made the game a reality and are also allowing it to ship on PC.

 

[JayEH]

Really not a fan of this approach.

[PodcastFips]

Really not a fan of this approach.

No funding = no interest in the game = no need for Sony to invest money = no Shenmue III

Have you thought this way yet?
