Well I'm off to bed - it's 3:30am in Melbourne! When I wake up in a few hours before the end of the kick-starter I fully expect us to be in the 6 million range. Good night guys. : )

Your other option would be becoming a big private investor I guess. A few million dollars should do it! Also don't sell yourself short I'm sure they need people to ACTUALLY make the game besides the marquee devs!
No idea, you can visit their site. I'd also assume you'd need to be fluent in Japanese!Do they sponsor Visas?

Yeah those comments are bad. A lot of people in the new Game Informer LP are like that too... this game is BORING, nothing happens... blah de fucking blah.
Haha. Maybe by the time Shenmue 4 rolls around.
choked with laughter at whoever said "plank-di strikes again"
I'm thinking about upgrading my $60 PS4 Physical Edition to the $80 S3World Telecom Edition but I can't work out whether that comes with the Physical PS4 version or just the PC version? Can anybody confirm if it's a choice of either?
Don't want to mess it up by doing the wrong thing.

Every tier above 60 dollars gets their choice of version.

This is why all big budget games are the same. Thank front for Kickstarter.
I only just started to play Shenmue, but I've been fascinated by it since the Dreamcast days, unfortunately I couldn't afford a Dreamcast as a 12-year old boy.
So...as I hate unfinished stories I just pledged 250$ for the Kickstarter Collector's Edition on PC and 60$ for the PS4 physical copy.

Thanks, that was the way I understood it.
I know it's not going to make much of a difference if I go from $60 to $100 and I'm not even a fan of the first two games but I've been enchanted by how much passion Yu Suzuki has for this project and the support there has been from people over the years for this series.
I would have absolutely loved the project to have reached +$11 million so that he could make his game, his way. I do really hope that the major investors outside of Kickstarter decide to give a bit more money than they were going to originally.
So excited!
Also, digging through the trenches of the past here, but I loved this old article about the Uncertain Future of Shenmue by the 1UP staff years ago.
Shenmue's Uncertain Future
Their exhaustive interview with Yu Suzuki remains a highlight as well.
The Disappearance of Yu Suzuki
Whoa nice work.
Please create a new thread and share your experiences. I'm sure there's many a new gamer that would like to hear from someone playing Shenmue for the first time.
I'm interested to hear your take on it.
Imagine this but with the added improvements in technology over last 14 year...
is this actual combat or the result of a qte?
actual combat

Actual combat. It happens when you fully practice the move to its highest level.
This is why I want the kickstarter to reach $6 million stretch goal to see what "Advanced Free Battle" will be like in the game. Just upped my pledge from $60 to a $100. Would do more but I can't afford it.
Yeah that was awesome to see.

Possibly my last update for the night (I still gotta sleep! I have classes tomorrow, so I won't be there exactly when the KS closes, but I'll wake up early to check up on the KS!)
While we're not earning $1k/minute anymore... we're still earning $40k+/hour... which is still crazy. The hype is there, and I imagine it's going to be more intense in the next hours.
I'm not sure if anyone is going to continue looking on the trends, but I just find it a curious thing... like when exactly in the last day does the hype come at a peak.
keep up this till hour into it?
i like these stats. thanks for sharing.

I like Yakuza but Shenmue's combat is so much better. I'd love if after all of this, Sega and Yu Suzuki make up and they get together to make a 3D Streets of Rage just like this.

Shenmue started off as Virtua Fighter: The RPG and it really shows in the combat system.

Now we just pray for 1+2 HD remaster.
Even when I get my physical Shenmue 3 edition, I won't be playing it until I've played 1 & 2...so possibly never.

May I have a cookie?
are they going to continue collecting donations through paypal during development?
If so, is it possible the game's scope will be expanded to include the higher stretch goals?
