i've been waiting for this one. shenmue's environments felt so real, most likely because of this guy right here. using an architect to help design the game world was a stroke of genius and i'm pretty sure a lot of games followed their example in the 15 years since.
Yes, first (rough) look at Choubu!

Fork 'em, Sparky!
He already answered that in some fashion and said no.

Out of curiosity, why is that "worrying"? Is this a contest with Bloodstained?
if it becomes a trend and the campaign dies on its ass instead of having a boost at the end.
that said, usually the first 12 hours of a kicktraq day are slower than the last 12, but our first 12 today has been pretty steady right now and i wouldn't be surprised if we touched 4.6 million by the end of it.
edit: we just jumped up almost 2k in the space of a minute. whoah.

100$...
Waiting for beta.
Waiting for beta.
Comparisons with other projects are just for fun as the projects probably will end up on comparable levels. The worrying bit is, as Spaghetti wrote, if the final boost is much delayed, not substantial enough or in worst case not there at all.

"Oh no no. I've been too tired lately"
Overtaking Bloodstained will mean a lot. Reaching the #1 Kickstarter game will be picked up by every gaming site as it is an easy write up. Shenmue gains instant credibility for every write up going forward as the product develops. It puts even more pressure on Sega to re-release 1&2. The Kickstarter is already wildly successful but reaching #1 would be huge.
today will hopefully be a good indication of the way things are going to go. there's still about an hour and a half until we hit 12 hours left of kicktraq's definition 'today', which is usually when the pledges start increasing.
Shenmue's objectives are a lot higher than Bloodstained, but right now, it could be very hard for Yu Suzuki's production to exceed IGA's. Because Bloodstained improved drasticaly backing the last days.
Someone on this topic has published a graphic comparison to show the evolution of different Kickstarter projects.
no, but it'd be nice to be vindicated as a shenmue fan if we get the highest funded video game kickstarter ever. beating out successors to "larger" series and the like.
it's not really about being better though. It's just that it'd be nice to have something to fire back when the calls of "NICHE TITLE NOBODY PLAYED" come around as they inevitably will during this game's development.

YES! Haha. I heard that line so many times it's ingrained in me.
you can get one copy of the game as digital pc/digital ps4/physical pc/physical ps4 at any tier above $60.
You can choose physical PS4 for any tier $60 or higher
you only get one copy of the game with the $100 tier. it can be digital or physical for both ps4 and pc.it's sure because it's says only pc
edit: trial version is likely PC only because of no 'early access' style system on ps4.
ok thank you
Seems to be going faster today.
yeah, good sign hopefully. i don't want to get too caught up in numbers in the final week though. i just want to enjoy the experience as everybody pulls together for a great celebrating of the series.
hopefully it'll get new fans in on it too.
nice one!
hopefully the HD collection comes out sometime so you can play the other two before the third comes.
Bienvenue au club (des backers) !
Awesome ^.^

I hope so too, want to see what all the fuss is about.
don't worry about completing it any time soon. you've got a good two and a half years for that.
it's a game series of the like the industry hasn't really seen since. thematically and gameplay-wise. you do see bits of shenmue in loads of different titles in the AAA, indie, and even mobile sectors, but never collected together in the same way shenmue did it. that's part of the appeal at least.

Picked up a copy of Shenmue 2 for DC for a decent lick less than the average. I adore the first, its one of my favourite games ever, but I never played the second. I'm really excited.
I think I'm going to have to play Shenmue 2 in Japanese! I was recently playing through Shenmue 1 via emulation (I own both 1 + 2) and I thought the modded English voice over was supposed to be pretty good for Shenmue 2 but the samples are really poor due to the compression.
I could go with the Xbox version I own but then I can't carry over my save! I actually can't remember if that changes much of the game apart from your collection coming across from the original?

Hmm, I have never seen that boxart before. Is that a repro?
EDIT: Oh, interesting - http://shenmue.wikia.com/wiki/US_Shenmue
you're in for a treat.
This is true. Though I think it also means a lot if the Kickstarter doesn't actually get #1, considering what a huge start it got and the biggest publicity of any Kickstarter ever by being at the Sony e3 conference. So yeah, I'm hoping this can get #1 to avoid more negativity, even though the Bloodstained Kickstarter deserves that spot IMO by how perfectly run it was.

Went ahead and pledged (like many of you, this is my first time).
Pulled Shenmue II out of the closet to replay today. I no longer own the first one, but I'll watch that bonus DVD that comes with the sequel to catch back up.
