Did the PS3 one even break 1 million? First week NPD was 221k. Probably dropped off a cliff after that. Sony probably learned a lesson after that and now will do this Kickstarter thing instead. Intent of purchase gauging and all that.

its the jaffe curse. after calling all cars.
If doing this allows us to get twisted metal, parapa, or midevil Id support it. Its the only way we will ever see those again.

I'm sure they had all kinds of reasons why it would fail. Mainly only being put on the PS3/PS4 platforms surely.
Wonder if they will celebrate its creation? Haha

I would also up my pledge if we get a Barkerville mp3 or track with the game.
It almost certainly didn't. Not sure if current subscribers to NPD know old numbers. Paging Aquamarine.
The odd thing is that was posted today.
I could understand if it was posted last week.
All well, we had a good run at it.
Dude... Calling All Cars was and is brilliant. Probably gonna play it with some buddies this weekend.
Nah, what you want is old IP being handed off to ambitious low cost independent developers.
Almost doesn't matter what the numbers are, stuff like that is why we don't get IP Reboots. New ideas belong to new IP and old ideas deserve to get iterated to perfection. As far as I remember, Twisted Metal PS3 tried both. It didn't work out that well. Amplitude KS is (hopefully) the same as Amplitude PS2, just (presumably) shined to a mirror sheen.
There have been rumors of this happening

I get the feeling Kotaku would just say that they wrote it that way to get more people to believe that it might not actually make its goal, so that more people would feel the need to back it.

Technically, there's already been an announcement of this happening (Shadow of the Beast).

That's the exact opposite of how kickstarter mentality works though
If people believe it won't make it they're far far less likely to back it
Harmonix has been working hard to get support.

It's a pretty strange write-up. The title and first couple paragraphs are garbage, which is unfortunate since that's where the tone gets established. Then the rest of the article is more reasonable.
You'd think the article was written on Day 5 going by how pessimistic it starts off.
I haven't been following it, but did the majority of that $300K come from only a couple donors?

Is there punch and pie for this orgy?
The number of backers has gone from around 6000 to over 10000 in the last few days, and in addition to that, existing backers have been bumping their pledges up

The max tier is 10k.
What's the Kotaku article everyone is down on? The one that Jason Schreier did today?
I think it was obviously a well-intentioned plea for help, but a little ridiculous to try and pretend that a disaster was about to happen. Getting 120K in the last 48 hours is seems pretty likely, given how close they are to being funded and the usual final days boost every Kickstarter gets.
People are talking about that article as if it was spiteful or venomous or something. The tone was bad, but I suspect they didn't want to write a "They're almost there - please pitch in!" story as it's seemingly bad form for the media to play cheerleader Kickstarter stuff.

Yessssss! I really hope they don't have that problem where it gets really close so people start lowering their bids.

I'm still on the fence about this as I've never played the original, but I love music games. Hrm. If it's close tomorrow I'll back it, probably.

Put my $20 in. This is a dream project for me, loved Frequency/Amplitude so much.
