yeah 5 million is like... before the final rush even starts at this rate. even if we did step down from the big ps4 surge, decent money is still coming in and we'll likely hit 4.6 tomorrow and keep pushing into 5 million over the weekend and probably hit it by tuesday or wednesday.

we've done okay today considering there were no new tiers trying to squeeze a bit more money out of lower and higher backers. if they pull something out of their hat soonish we'll probably see a surge into the end rush.
 
hahaha no. we're at least three times ahead of that with six hours to go.

kuchera still pushing his poorly researched thinkpiece in the first line though. polygon gonna polygon.

That's good news but i mean i thought we woulda broken $4.6 by now.

I really want them to pull out all the stops now. Giving away a few in game freebies like the phone card is great. Yeah. Some will get pissed off, doesnt matter, every little helps at this stage.

What do you guys wanna see as fictional stretch goals? Mine would include

1. S1/2 remaster - i know its Sega IP and outta their hands but even so...
2. VF series arcades
3. Saturn collection
4. Genesis collection
5. OST playlist
6. High res character models.
7. Morpheus support
Etc
Etc
Etc.

Simple things to enthuse the fans to part way with a little more cash to make this game as awesome
 
Guys, I've finally gotten around to uploading the video I recorded live from the crowd at the Sony Conference when Shenmue III was announced. I was pretty close from the stage (4th row) and if you look closely, you can see Adam Boyes clapping on stage when Shenmue III appears on screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4_uAMrf-JA

Lol... I love the reaction of the shadowy dude in front of you. I never even played Shenmue but I had the same reaction as him. It was such a hype moment.
 
This is where my avatar is from if anyone ever wondered.

I'll be upping my pledge in the last couple of days. I'm sure others are planning to do the same.
 
She is Shenhua in Shenmue II, so clearly someone wasn't happy about the change.

Pretty much all the Chinese names were redone in Shenmue 2,

Zhu Yuan Da became Yuanda Zhu
Chen Gui Zhang became Guizhang Chen
Chao Sun Ming became Sunming Zhao

and so on.

shenmue II is a weird one, what with the english subs and subsequent dub being a straight translation of the japanese.

either way, she's shenhua in 3. for now...

Not a straight translation, it's not like Chen became Chin or anything like that. If it had been a direct translation Shenua would be Shenfa and Yuanda Zhu would be Shu Gentatsu.

What it looks like is between 1 and 2 they decided to go given name > family name for the Chinese names. It makes sense because it's not like they call him Hazuki Ryo. I do kinda prefer the sound of the names in 1 to 2 though.
 
I would not be capable of watching this .. I would want to for the simple mindfuvk it would be but would not do it ...

For the same reasons I never did and never will watch this

I would end up in jail I would have to find who kill my childhood and make them pay lol

It's ok, they are making Dragon Ball Super now. Childhood is preserved.

Never did see Evolution, though I do think it's kinda funny that the actor for Goku and the actress for Bulma basically spent 3 seasons banging eachother in Shameless.

well true. it's full of... japanese-isms though.

About to watch the first episode with sub's ..
There's certain things people shouldn't fuck with lol and my childhood anime is one for damn sure lol (same goes for shenmue and original transformers ani) lol

Here hopping the new Dragonball z anime still has that magical feeling about it ..
Here I go lol
 
I want to back this because I reeeeally want to get the PS4 physical version. At the same time, I don't want to back a game that will never be fully "complete" since Yu Suzuki says he needs to 10m (which at this point is impossible to reach) to make the game he always wanted to make. hmm.

actually he never said that. people took his quote when asked about what he'd do with more money and spun it into that. that got passed on a lot through second hand information, but it isn't accurate.

when he's spoken about things he's always wanted to do with shenmue 3, he talked about the character perspective system only. that is the 5 million stretch goal, we we're very likely to hit that sometime next week.
 
Sorry if this has been covered, but if I want both physical PC and PS4 copies, am I going to have to make a separate account?

Is there no add-on program with this KS?

Nah man the most he need is 5 million 10 million is for him to do everything he wants too.

i wouldn't even say that 10 million is what he needs to do what he wants.

we are not getting an incomplete shenmue 3 if we don't hit 10 million. yu has already said he will make the best game possible no matter the budget, and i believe that. video game development can scale.

Yep I agreed.
 
Yeah but we can realistically predict all the noise: "well, if he got what how much he needed, we would have a more complete game.".

That song and dance will linger and it will hurt the game's image because of it.
honestly, it's not really yu suzuki's fault his comment got twisted like that. just goes to show that both the media and gamers alike will run with half-truths instead of going to the source and seeing for themselves.

ohh ok.

Thanks guys for explaining it to me.
 
By the same token, technically every game can improve and have even more features implemented with more and more money. At some point you got to ship a game heh.
yeah. even then at some point just throwing money at something creates a tremendous amount of waste. look at destiny.
 
I'm certain PayPal will open up after it's over. I've tweeted to Cedric and the team about it before and Cedric's retweeted. Guaranteed to happen, they know it'll bring in a lot more cash.
 
maybe. it'd be cool if the big bombs came on fridays to match that ps4 announcement last week. i don't see what could be next though.

Shenmue 1 & 2 HD. :P

Most likely won't happen, so I guess really what's only left is the option to combine digital and physical copies.
