naw.
thanks.
what's the gaf recommended image hosting site again? imgr?
Sure, but 1 & 2 have been entirely from the perspective of Ryo. The player is Ryo. It'd be weird and hollow.
That's what we normally use.

Maybe. Corey Marshal really wants to reprise his role and I think they discussed it in the Q&A. Is that on the OP yet?
Anyone got the full Q&A?

It seems he is in discussion with Corey Marshall and the JP voice actor

The actual Q&A was pretty bad if you don't know Japanese. Shenmue Dojo translated it in English.

The Japanese VA was on the Kickstarter from day 1!

I need Corey Marshall's voice back. Ryo just isn't Ryo to me without him lol.

I see.
I partially agree, but ultimately we will have to see how it's implemented. I have the feeling this may have been in the design briefs from the beginning but I guess we will only know in time.

Which Imgur luckily converts to webm and mp4 - less than 1 MB versus 32 MB for the gif.
I don't know if Imgur supports mp4 uploads yet, but gfycat does.
Anyway, neat indeed (but dat aspect ratio).
Sweet, more gif makers.
Are you using Demul or NullDC? I have a similar problem with the captured aspect ratio as it gets squished up when I take pics, but not for video capturing. If I set it to 16:9, gameplay has a stretched image & video capture is stretched, but picture captures are perfectly fine... and everything is the complete opposite playing in 4:3, gameplay and vid capture are good, but picture captures will get stretched... it's weird.
i'm using demul in 4:3. i'm going to try extra geometry and see if i can get something a little more appealing with that function
the gifs are free to use once we move to the next kickstarter thread. a "what's shenmue?" section might be nice, and illustrating the battle system would be a part of that

Also,
For a lot of people they will complain about the Kistarter, etc.
But think of it from Yu's perspective. He hired these guys and he has almost a guaranteed $3.75 MIllion paycheck in a month (minimum). I know most of that is not their doing, but damn, truth be told, he isn't going to be complaining

Why not PC as well? Shenmue III is coming out on PC, after all.
yeah that seems a weird omission

Dug my Dreamcast out of storage...
found shenmue...
found a vmu...
have been lugging around an old CRT TV for just this sort of occasion...
started a new playthrough.
Didn't even make it out of Ryo's room and now the DC won't read discs any more. Damn it all! Release an HD port, sega.

You could dump your games and run them off an SD card adapter.

How would I dump them without a working GDROM drive?
*sigh* they really fucking don't, and it's really depressing.

Did they really go out of their way to make one watch to get one pledge??

Oh, didn't realize it was dead entirely. I believe there are some DVD drives out now that can rip them, like certain Lite On models.

Well, two straight days over the previous 5-day average. The stream and the limited rewards definitely had a positive result. Instead of 25k, we got 44k and 50k, I will take that win all day.
Now, they actually need to be a little farsighted and not make their new rewards ultra high-priced and ultra limited.
They realize how powerful a physical PS4 tier would be, and they really, really need to make it a reality NOW.
Hell, make a tier where 70 gets a ps4 hard copy, or another which adds Corey Marshall (and a few other select English voice actors) as an incentive. I would up my donation another 20 or 30 bucks if I knew I could get the option to switch between English and Japanese voices.
The increase in donations would definitely outperform the cost, in my opinion.

Well, at that stage it's probably simpler to buy another Dreamcast...

Wow, I've been putting off getting a serial cable setup for a while now. This is way better.

Yu Suzuki is trying to make it happen. The sooner the better.
Exactly, and it needs to be NOW. Or at least, SOON. Every day they don't have this, they lose ground.
As an aside, if Sony's involvement will block development of this game on other consoles, they need to state that explicitly. Towing the line of "Currently, PC and PS4 is the only development we have planned." Or whatever will not work. They need to be deliberate. I am sure there are a few waiting to hear of a port to a different console, but if it isn't coming to anything else, that needs to be bolded.

Game is trending towards 8 million for now. Hopefully they'll keep the doors open for paypal donations after kickstarter ends.
It really should have been sorted before the campaign started though.Yu Suzuki is trying to make it happen. The sooner the better.

Sega has been fully aware of this for a long time. Each pledge at Shenmue 3 is also more worth than one petition vote.
They should add the option for a PS4 physical copy to the $60 tier and add a choice of a PC steelbook or PS4 steelbook to the $100 tier. I'm certain that many of us at the $29 tier would move up to one of those tiers if they add those options.
I'm not sure if it's been answered before, but have they said whether the PC physical copy comes with a Steam/GOG key like Bloodstained is doing?

Oh what? I didn't know this. I worship at the altar of flash carts/hard drives that you can rip your legit games to.
This would be great but Sega couldn't even be bothered bringing over Yakuza 1 & 2 HD, and that has translations already done that they could just copy and paste. I can't see them putting actual work into hd-ifying Shenmue.

Physical reward tiers aren't that profitable for the Kickstarter. People taking about physical copies and steelbook editions... the costs to produce and distribute them aren't insignificant.
If you want to maximise each individual pledge for the tiers, non-physical rewards such as meetups and design collaborations and letting backers name shit are much more efficient.
