SHENMUE 3 kickstarter (PC/PS4) - FINAL DAY - NEW KS RECORD GO GO GO!
- Thread starter Mr. RPG
- Start date

I really don't think his article is bad because when I first read the Shenmue update then went to look at the PS4 physical tier, that is the first thing that literally came to my mind - the PS4 placeholder art looks so cheesy and unprofessional, and yes, I know it's a placeholder. I am sure there are many people who feel the same without reading that article.
Payment will be accepted right when the Kickstarter ends. Addresses for shipping will be collected long after in a survey that will be emailed to you once they are ready to start receiving your information.
Is there any possibility that Kotaku could put up a story clearing up Sony's involvement? Most people still think that they are largely funding the game and that the Kickstarter is no longer necessary. However we've since learned that the Kickstarter is the primary means of funding this game so it has to be as successful as possible.
All the sites ran articles when Sony said they were helping with development costs, but none of them have run new ones or amended the old ones when we learned they were only helping with PS4 porting and most likely just giving the standard indie pub fund amount of $500,000 for development. Please help us out!

On a more upbeat note, I played OutRun today in an actual arcade, on a proper sit-down arcade machine, complete with hydraulic motion. The crt screen was blurry, the stereo speakers in the seat were too loud, the steering wheel rested at a 30° turn, and the start button/ignition had sticky black goop on it. And you know what? It was glorious and I loved every second. Already backed Shenmue 3 during Sony's conference and I couldn't be more excited.

I think we all know who wanted a piece of the Hazuki sword more than anybody.
She always flirted with little suede-headed Ryo.
A lot of people are doing that yes.
I'm probably going to get two backer exclusive PS4 physical editions and keep one mint in box.
They're morons who are best ignored.
If it helps, I'm wayyyyy more frustrated than any of you are.
Ah ok. I'll save my $60 when it actually releases.

Already watched it! Made it a habit to achieve these in-game at some point or another. Really cool that so much can be missed even after playing for years.
That post would fit right in with Gawker and Jezebel. All it needed was a pic of a dude with his brains blown out.
i played an odd version of outrun years ago. it had a weird little steering wheel controller but no seat. i couldn't tell if it was a bootleg or a super old low-cost model of the game.
it's kinda nuts when something that old turns up in the wild. the oldest cabinets i usually see are daytona usa, sega rally, and a marvel vs capcom one just the once.

He's doing a lovely job on twitter insulting everyone who is upset as well. A real stand up choice to run the place :/

There are two bar+arcades in my city that both have an outrun machine like that. I always make it a point to play it

Thanks!
I was wondering because you can't write your shipping address in the Kickstarter profile.
i'd love to try the deluxe version of the original. i tried the deluxe outrun 2 years ago and it was a blast. i'd love to find afterburner and hang on too.There are two bar+arcades in my city that both have an outrun machine like that. I always make it a point to play it

yeah, they just need to update the older tier pics that make it look like only the physical PC one is an option, that's all
i'm in the for the artbook tier; it clearly brings the physical PS4 one as an option

Lol at the kotaku article. Then i clicked on the authors twitter picture . Laughed again but even harder. What a pathetic silly little loser .
Anyway went from the 30$ digital to 60 physical pledge.

Well, I'm not mad. If anything, I feel for ya! As a fan of Kotaku it's nice to know that you're frustrated, but just get someone to impress upon him to deal with his negativity (on Twitter, too) and then get back to enjoying the beach. Happy 4th!

Average pledge went up to 85 dollars that's insane in a good way.
Enjoy your beach day and July 4th!
And maybe consider writing something fair to Shenmue fans when you get back to work, cause you know, we'd appreciate it....

good to see kotaku still being kotaku.

In this case I'm more than willing to forgive. Seems like they just gave the keys to wrong person
Understand your frustration, though I think it says something about current editorial process if this guest freelancer is only one running the site today with the keys to the kingdom.

I backed the KS on the first day for PC physical but now I also want that PS4 physical copy as well...

We should contact the guys involved and let them know we want add-ons. The ability to add extra copies to our existing pledge would be great.
ArisenDragon
Member
Yeah would be cool if we can get a digital and physical for like 70 or 80. Maybe also some smaller rewards for 60 to 80 bucks.

It's been a wonderful perfect storm, and there is still more to come today. Saturday should be a good day too for funding.

Yes totally! It should be possible to buy the digital and physical edition with one account. I'm sure there's a lot of fans out there who would play via digital and keep their physical copy sealed.
ArisenDragon
Member
Yeah that's exactly what I want would totally back that at 70-80 bucks.
Guys, let's focus on the important things. Like why Kurita couldn't settle down and broke up with Yuriko.
Hah. I always wanted a dialog choice to get a beer with Kurita and talk it over.

this is a really great idea here, honestly - prolly get more than a few people to increase their support

Crazy how fast the "get your picture in the game" tier all went.
Seems nobody wants to be a Lucky Hit stand quite as much though...

There's still time to ask. I imagine a lot of people have already brought it up though...
I sent an ask in the day or two after the KS launched and got a reply about two weeks later. They must REALLY be swamped.

Matching Bloodstained's average now. And in terms of time aligned backer numbers, Shenmue III is almost 12000 backers ahead of where Bloodstained was at this point.
And come one guys, the Kotaku thing is annoying but Jason's clearly aware of it, he's usually a great guy both on Kotaku and in interacting with us on Neogaf. I don't believe that posting a critical post in his own site's comments is something he'd do lightly. Let us leave him to do his thing, enjoy his holiday weekend and get back to enjoying this fantastic day for the Shenmue III Kickstarter.
