That $2 million target on the Kickstarter tells only a sliver of the story, of course, even as it's been rapidly met and Shenmue 3's on target to become one of crowdfunding's biggest success stories. It's a token amount, likely requested by investors before they unlock their own funds, and when it's all combined there's every likelihood that the infamous $70 million it took for Sega to bring the original game to market will be met. Factor in slimmer overheads and the fact that Suzuki's team will be able to lean on existing technology rather than having to create their own and the questions over budget fall by the wayside. Other questions, though, remain.
