Not open for further replies.
So I just log back in with the intention to up my earlier bid from the $60 physical PS4 to the new $80 tier, it then dawns on me, what have I achieved in life? did I reach my goals? what where my goals?

No, this is it. My chance of a lasting legacy that will outlive me beyond my years and give my future generations something to be proud of. Yes this is what I've been searching for....





(drops 100 bucks for name in credits)

This is kind of why I went with the $100 option. I will be honored and happy to have my name in the credits of a game many thought was never going to happen. I love this series so much my first tattoo was Shenmue inspired, and I've also always though Yu Suzuki was one of the greatest creators of our time. So I couldn't be happier than to help out with his dream project.

Will I still have the PS4 physical option?

I'm already at 100, and name in the credits would be cool. But I wanted to be certain I had the boxed console release.
 
"Here's my phone number in Canada Ryo. Call me if, y'know, you finally reach puberty and your hormones start kicking in or whatever."

"Yeah."

I'm kinda tempted to go the $100 tier and then just sell the trial code when the time arrives :P

Does that make me a bad person?
 
I wonder how those phone calls will go like will be funny to see especially Nozomi.

RingRing

"Hello?"

"Nozomi."

"Ryo! So good to hear from you!"

"I...I had to tell you something, Nozomi. It's not an easy thing for me to admit..."

"*sharp breath*"

"Could you buy me a couple of toys from Canada? I hear there's this thing called M.U.S.C.L.E that's supposed to be all the rage. Now why does that sound familiar? Anyway, no biggie, just drop 'em off with Fuku-san. Kthx."

*click*

LOL those long term relationships never work out. He should just try for Master Tao.
 
Hi guys ! I'm trying to stay up to the news. Did I read correctly the Ask Yu Suzuki thing ?
At 5M the game would be in term of size similar to Dobuita in Shenmue ?
Doesn't that sounds... small ? :o
 
I think that just because he is listed as a character we can call doesn't mean he won't show up. There's so much they could do with the story that anything is possible. Wouldn't rule it out.
 
tell us more about the tattoo.

My buddy agreed to pay for my first tattoo as a gift for being the best man at his wedding. I wanted something Shenmue related and decided on getting the dragon and phoenix mirror. I had a really hard time finding reference pictures with clear lines for the artist to use and eventually came across this picture.

Didn't want him to use the same color palette but to use it as a reference for his own idea. He produced the tattoo below, which I'm happy with, but I know I want my next Shenmue tattoo to be more recognizable.


As first tattoos go, it could be much worse, but now I'm on the hunt for a good reference photo for a future Shenmue tattoo. Any suggestions? =P
 
Probably a dumb question, but am I wrong to assume that backers above the $100 tier also get their name in the credits? It would only make sense but I couldn't find the info when I looked.

You're not wrong.

There's a table at the bottom. "Your name in the credits" is included for every tier above and including $100.
 
Hahaha, that's awesome. Here is the pic of the tweet for anyone who can't access the page right now.


Shenmue had a pretty big impact in the UK. It's definitely well thought of amongst gamers I know and even people who don't play anymore.

Incidentally I was at a Games Exhibition at the National Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland a few months ago and Yu Suzuki was one of the featured creators, they had a bunch of his games there including Shenmue running on a Dreamcast on playable display.

This was alongside Mario and Pac-Man games etc.

It was real nice.
 
I wonder if SEGA could announce they will publish the game at TGS.
They still own Shenmue's license rights.

Maybe they can announce publishing support for the XB1 version. I'd be happy with Shenmue 1 & 2 HD announcement.

Hope they don't end up putting a post-credits scene...that's going to be a SHIT TON of credits to sit through lol.

Sitting through the credits for Shenmue 1 & 2 was an accomplished itself, they were so long lol. Dat music though...very few games have made me feel like I've been through such a journey as those two games.

Tattoo is not showing
 
Pledged $60, which was my limit, but that $80 reward is tempting, and then $20 more I have my name in the credits, a (tiny) part of Shenmue history forever...

Then again looks like there will be maybe 10,000 people with that reward. Will take one hell of a long time for those credits to roll and to spot my name, haha! The funds keep rolling in quite nicely. I hope it keeps up. 5 million will be surpassed in less than a day, I think we might reach 7 by the end, BEFORE any last minute influx of backers. Fingers crossed! We're going to get an actual, honest to god, new Shenmue game in a couple of years (or so, I expect delays to be fair).


AHH!HHH!
 
yeah it shows on mobile. nice tattoo. most gaming tattoos are kinda junk but that one really works.

Hey thanks. He wanted to make it fit my leg better than the disc shape would.

Still open to suggestions for other Shenmue related tattoos if anyone comes up with anything lol.

edit:

I think I fixed my original post, odd how it didn't work before but same thing works fine now when viewing on my laptop.

I tend to think that he refers to Baisha as main area. I think we will see others locations,like Chi Yu Men HQ and probably Shenmue 2's Guilin at least
 
I just went to see Jurassic World with my sister and she told me she's in the $100 tier on this Kickstarter. :O

Bailu and Chobu will be in the game no matter what as well. But yeah, at 5 mill we will get the full sized Baisha, which seems to be the most important area in the game.
