Shenmue's Eng VA is a story of its own. There was this great feature that Shenmue Dojo used to host but I cannot find it.
In modern AAA games yes. Well this is exactly why we don't see much experimental work from most directors working with those budgets. This isn't a knock on AAA game production, but it what it is. Incidentally, that is also why you can see proven directors like Kojima and Miyamoto get to largely do whatever they want to an extent. Sometimes with adverse effects. Everything is related.
Often these checks come from publishers and investors though not the creator's will.
Edit: Of course, many designers will research other games as well as part of their working process. I guess it's hard to convey. Maybe you should read some interviews on the subject.
Edit2: I mean you are in a crowdfunding thread. You know the answer! "Why doesn't x exist?!" "Why won't anyone fund Y?" Etc etc, there lies the answer.

Feeding the kitten as we speak. No problems on NullDC except some minor glitches and the arcade games no running. Get 1.0.4. r150 with the Shenmue fixes from the ShenmueDojo. I should download this!
Settings:
Click here School Boy
Select PuruPuru as an input device. Works perfect with the Xbox360 Wireless controller
Of course you need to get a bios on your own.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Where are all the Shenmue fans? Was this really an insanely vocal minority or just a bunch of whiny cheapskates?
i'm not particularly afraid of shenmue not meeting modern standards. to this day the originals still do quite a few things better than modern games, and stoods its ground against contemporaries on other platforms. in fact i think shenmue II stood shoulder to shoulder with metal gear solid 2 in terms of cinematic presentation.
the basic controls do need to improve though, which i have no doubt that they will.

How exactly are you getting that from the numbers it has already hit?

I don't even want that. The world, fighting, progress and everything feels much better than all these modern standards we get from Ubisoft and others.
Oh wow now it all makes sense. Thanks for the link!
I still love these games despite the bad acting. I originally played the DC import with JPN acting anyway but yeah, going back to the US versions is rough. Let's hope Yu learned from the experience.

Oh let's not take this as negativity. I have the utmost confidence and admiration for Yu Suzuki's craft! He is more than capable of delivering a Shenmue game that can compete with its contemporaries, maybe not in scope because the money isn't there, but at least crowdfunding allows exactly this, for Yu Suzuki to make the game he wants to make.

After 14 years I'd literally take a Shenmue 3 that looked and played exactly like the Dreamcast originals.

Right. The things that need improved to "modernize" it are very minor things like the "tank" controls for Ryo when not fighting (which honestly don't even bother me) and the camera in various situations.
Fighting feels like there is actual weight to it. I absolutely love the fighting system in these games.
Turns out I was missing an old DirectX component. Thanks!

Kickstarter has stagnated to $50k per day now. This might not even break $5mil before it's over.
it'll smash 5 million, don't worry.
Nah, you'll see. It'll ramp up. I'm calling $6M minimum.

It'll pick up when new tiers and goals are announced
5mil is the big one I want it to break past, to get the character perspective system. Excited to see what Yu wants to do with it. Also curious what stretch goals lie beyond it.
likely the arcade stretch goal.

It's got 44,735 backers/fans chipping in, I also expected way more people to back the KS with all the noise that was made around this franchise.

I'm honestly not that interested in what that feature entails, at least from the descriptions so far. I really don't care that much to see things from the perspective of Shenhua or Nozomi, etc etc. This is Ryo's story to me. I wish the 5 mil goal would have been something else but it's a small complaint really, the dream's happening and that's all I care about.
it's only 15,000 backers away from bloodstained and roughly 35,000 less than double fine adventure. we've got another 24 days and more importantly the big end of kickstarter surge.
it's coming. just you wait and see. this'll be over 60,000 backers by the end.

Unfortunately the project hit the air breaks at around 3.5M, maybe the announcement that Sony was helping with the funding had something to do with.
I'm also curious to see what stretch goals lie beyond the 5Mil.
From the story clues about what comes next in shenmue from all the old media, it seems as though
there is going to be a huge dramatic battle at one point, and ryo will lose and be in grave and/or mortal danger, until his friends come to his rescue
I am guessing the perspective system is how yu suzuki intends to tell that part of the story. Similar to how hideo kojima handled

I agree, but there has to be more to it than a simple character swap, as that could be done rather easily I would think. Character animations, modeling and voice acting have to be done regardless.

Hmm, that sounds better at least! I could see it turning out ok based from that.
Shenhua will be incredible too, considering she has what looks like the Futae No Kiwami "exploding fist" technique from rurouni kenshin. The old trailers showed her and lan di fighting a climactic battle where lan di had super powers.

Yu Suzuki even admitted as much.

Interesting. This is definitely something worth getting behind. If enough people do it it'll bring in a ton of money.
Spread the word people!
Bet you'd care if it was Lan Di.

The more I play my replay of Shenmue 1 the more I'm impressed at when this game was made compared to the others around and after it.
Though the voice acting.... is all over the place? Actors doing voices that range from I love Lucy era to Mr. Miyagi randomly is nuts lol. Some of the characters having 0 accent... some having oddly placed "Japanese" accents is pretty questionable haha.
Loving it all over again though. Aside from the garbage controls, which we all knew were bad even in 1999 it's still a great experience. Digging it out after 10+ years of not playing it is great.

i think that part would probably be further in the series, no? seems climactic.
i wonder if we get to that snowy area seen in the project berkley trailer in this game?

I'd say that amount of backers pledging $3.5 million is a huge show of faith to a project that has revealed practically nothing about itself. We have no idea what the scope of the game is going to be and only a vague idea what the gameplay will be like. There are very few projects that I think would be able to pull this level of support with such a small amount of information.
They show her being grabbed in what looks like the cave from Shenmue 2. I'm thinking that happens pretty early on, actually.
What else is strongly hinted from all the old media is
Ryo has an incredible, hidden power that he does not yet realize
Lan Di is the dragon who plunges the world into darkness, and Ryo, after "losing" rises from the ashes as the phoenix to counter him.

Probably not. That's why it's a hack.
that'd be a really interesting way to start shenmue 3.
it's weird to think we finally get so see what happens after that amazing cliffhanger ending. now the next time i see it, it won't feel so bitter sweet.
Play the japanese dubs. They have much better voice acting.
That would mean you would need a dreamcast, however. Use the Shenmue Undub Project to play Shenmue I in japanese with english subs, then play the european version of shenmue II for the same. The Shenmue Undub changes the region to E so your save will transfer to Shenmue II, as well.
The Japanese dub isn't amazing or anything, but it's lightyears beyond the English dub.
Use DCEmul.

Probably in the epilogue. I think what you mention is typical in revenge plots.
Part of a good epilogue could be Ryo realising exactly the point you mentioned.
I haven't seen this. Aside from the rolling eyes at the announcement from a small few, it's been pretty positive, I think. There's the confusion over the Sony involvement but only from people who didn't bother to put any thought into it or read anything about it in the last week.
Seriously. Just take the old-ass assets and make the game, lol.
But afaik I read somewhere those were tailored to the DC architecture or something and might be not very useful and easy to work with.
I just hope they'll nail Ryo, face + voice.
