Support NeoGAF

[TomShoe]

Two paper clips and a piece of string. I'll throw in moral support as an added bonus.

 

[Maligna]

...and also grossly overestimating the number of people who would actually pony up money to launch a new game.

Well, that's what everyone always says so I just wanted to make this thread to find out definitively.

 

[theWB27]

Nothing. Unless it gets full AAA money for development or raises money like that starship game or Project Cars....I don't want it. I dont want one of, if not the most, wanted games to be a kickstarter venture.

 

[Leafhopper]

For me to give money, Sega would have to show they actually give a damn about the West in the last 3 years.

That isn't Sonic or Miku.

 

[bryanee]

Whatever money I had at the time. If all I had was a tenner then that, if I had £10,000 then that. I want this fucking game so much.

 

[boyshine]

Love Shenmue, will not support any kickstarter ever.

 

[Nokagi]

Probably about 85 dollars.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I never played Shenmue and have no interest in it, but I'd be legitimately curious to see the results of a Kickstarter like this. Just to get a real indication of the demand

 

[Acosta]

Nothing. Unless it gets full AAA money for development or raises money like that starship game or Project Cars....I don't want it. I dont want one of, if not the most, wanted games to be a kickstarter venture.

What's the difference between Star Citizen and a "kickstarter venture"?

 

[SpiceMelange]

Nothing. Shenmue's game design today in 2014 isn't anything special compared to back then.

 

[Coxy]

depends what the tier rewards were, probably up to $1000, maybe $10,000 if it was something incredibly special

 

[jet1911]

50$ or 60$

 

[ChosenPredator]

blown away by how much people are saying zero.

also.




Zero.

 

[Maligna]

Whatever money I had at the time. If all I had was a tenner then that, if I had £10,000 then that. I want this fucking game so much.

Is this legit? Should I put you down for $16,723?

 

[Tucah]

Probably nothing.

 

[kamakazi5]

Up to $150 depending on the tiers.

 

[AlphaK]

$100-150. Hopefully that'd net me a collectors edition.

and of course this turns into a troll thread.

 

[Corto]

Zero. The kind of game I want Shenmue 3 to be won't be made on a crowdfund budget. Star Citizen is an aberration and won't ever happen again. So, a publisher foots the bill in advance and then I make the decision to buy it or not.

 

[Maligna]

depends what the tier rewards were, probably up to $1000, maybe $10,000 if it was something incredibly special

Can I put you down for a hypothetical $10,000 then? Are you serious?

 

[xxracerxx]

and of course this turns into a troll thread.

What?

 

[kase23]

bout $90 plus shipping, unless it comes with some neato sega related chatchskis

 

[JaseMath]

$0.00

Don't care at this point.

 

[mekes]

$100, if that got me a copy of the game when it was finished.

 

[Kamek]

$100 and it would be my first kickstarter game donation ever.

 

[LowSignal]

$1000 to be a NPC with a few lines

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

So hypothetically what platforms would this be on? Shenmue 1 and 2 as digital downloads for a $20 or higher backer?

I'd probably back the kickstarter if and only if it came to PC with the above. All about that preservation.

Also a mouse + keyboard would probably be better than its awful analog stick controls.

 

[icecream]

$500-1000, depending on the scope of the project.

 

[theWB27]

What's the difference between Star Citizen and a "kickstarter venture"?

Nothing....but most kickstarter ventures don't get that kind of money behind it and I highly doubt Shenmue would. Hence why I wouldn't want it to be kickstarted....unless it received that kind of money.

 

[Joker40]

Would give at least the amount of a full priced game or more.

So about $70+.

 

[KePoW]

Zero.

One of the most overrated games on GAF. It's not a bad game, but nothing great

 

[Pyccko]

Up to $300, depending on what kinda junk it'd get me.

bout $90 plus shipping, unless it comes with some neato sega related chatchskis

Tchotchkes* Love that word! Don't see it much these days, so kudos to you good sir.

 

[Corto]

I would though kickstart a Shenmue 1 and 2 HDfication project if Sega sold the IP to Yu Suzuki.

 

[YuriLowell]

200

 

[Persona7]

$600. Maybe more.

 

[Krejlooc]

I would need to see the reward tiers before answering. However, I could see myself kicking in $100+, maybe in the $150 range.

 

[Coxy]

Can I put you down for a hypothetical $10,000 then? Are you serious?

if the tier reward was good enough and the project was good enough, then yes seriously. not if it ended up being shenmue 3 mobile and a thumbs up from Yu as tier reward.

 

[Aretak]

£200 or so, depending on what the tiers were.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Nothing at all

 

[Krappadizzle]

$60.


I played Shenmue at launch on the Dreamcast and loved it. I only played about half of S2 on the Xbox, but never finished it.

I'd love to see another one, but I don't think the stars are aligned and the people that made it have moved on to different things.

Who knows though, I'd love to see a rerelease of S1, that's for sure.

 

[SerTapTap]

Amazed at the negativity given the general frothing over this game on GAF. Suppose those frothing could be the $1000 offerers though--I'm also amazed at that.

Would pay $60-70 if that got me a retail copy of the game and it appeared the project was going to recieve adequate funding (or not happen if it didn't). If the goal was like $200,000 with no external funding, yeah probably not unless there was crazy good evidence something good would happen.

Wish more Kickstarters were as transparent as Skullgirls--I donated fully confident they could pull it off with all their disclosure, and they have.

 

[Maligna]

if the tier reward was good enough and the project was good enough, then yes seriously. not if it ended up being shenmue 3 mobile and a thumbs up from Yu as tier reward.

Excellent.

 

[Stimpack]

Genuinely surprised at the responses here. Those games were pretty fantastic in a lot of ways, and I'd love to see another. I wouldn't be surprised if many people who hate the games either never played them or never bothered putting more than an hour into them. That said, they definitely weren't for everyone, so I understand why someone wouldn't like it simply because they don't like those kinds of games.

I'd put down $100.

 

[Canis lupus]

Up to 200 dollar tier if good rewards.

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

i don't think the series has the pull some people might believe. Sega needs to at least release an hd collection or something.

A lot of vocal people, but to be truthful the game would not generate much revenues, the masses just don't care!

 

[flux1]

What platforms would it come out on? PS4/XB1 only or exclusive to either? zero. Coming to PC? I'd put down $50 if that got me a pre-order copy.

 

[Iorv3th]

100$ at least. Depending on reward tier......could be as high as 500$.

 

[Grayman]

I haven't played the originals so 0.00.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Can I put you down for a hypothetical $10,000 then? Are you serious?

With his hypothetical $10,000 in the bank, they'd only need about $9,990,000 more to make it (give or take several million).

Almost halfway there!

I haven't played the originals so 0.00.

Ever stare at a wall while people around you talked nonsense about sailors and parlor games? Then you've played Shenmue.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Nothing.

For a Yakuza Ishin translation i'll put 100$ tho'

 

[Reuenthal]

Nothing.
