Will Ryo jump onto a moving train in Shenmue 3?
apparently not according to what yu said on the stream today, but i don't think the highlights have been fully translated yet, so we'll see what he really said soon.

Not bad, but the forklift power is blatantly overpowered, so you might want to look into that.

The video is unreal. I've never played a Shenmue game before, but you have encouraged me to back/get a PS4 copy of Shenmue 3.
I have a Dreamcast, time to find an ebay copy of Shenmue 1/2 and find out what all the hype is about.
Edit: Also, this should get it's own thread as others have said. It needs to be seen by all Megaman fans too.
Just made it

This is absolutely awesome. Megaman remains my favourite series of all time and you totally did both series justice with this. I love the capsule toy dispenser mini boss!
You should be tweeting and commenting to them about it then!

10 million is a little steep at this stage, though he does emphasise that 10 million is the dream rather than the be-all and end-all of shenmue 3

Apparently Ryo can jump and climb mountains now. Not so sure jumping randomly is something I want, hahaha.
He also wants a 1988 style arcade too!

I believe in 6 million with KS and +4 million after KS (with paypal and those things)

I wonder if it is going to be a context sensitive parkour like system (which would be a better fit for this game) or just a jump button?

forgetting about the various issues, imagine if in the arcade in Shenmue 3 was Shenmue 2 and in that games arcade was Shenmue 1

Various arcade games between $5.1 million - $6 million would have been interesting stretch goals that would give incentive. Even just one at $5.6 million for incentive to become the must funded Kickstarter game ever.

i mean it's not really the number i'm thinking about. it's just development reality. if we miss a key stretch goal for a gameplay mechanic, can they really just implement it after 2 years of extra funding and development?
I'm really hoping to see this clear $7.5M by the time the campaign is done. The combat stuff is important!
The procedural generation goal at $11M sounds great too, it's just a lot less likely to happen.
Typical Kickstarter videogames only bring in 5-10% of the total in Paypal. Funding falls off a cliff once the campaign ends too.
I'd expect good post-campaign numbers only if they can put out an interesting trial. The problem there is that this is a story-based single-player game. A representative trial that looks as good as the finished game is a long way away, and they'd need the extra funds very early in order to implement some of those stretch goals.

Yes, I think they can do... Some features can be implemented months after the launch, there some real examples in modern games:
- Trials Fusion (April 2014): Online Multiplayer (Jan 2015)
- Dark Souls 2 (Mar 2014): New Final Boss (2015)
It's just a possibility, but even in 5 million I think Shenmue 3 will be a great game !
alternatively, ys.net could go looking for extra investors to push the numbers up a bit more too. having a very successful kickstarter could make for a good bargaining chip.
emphasis on the very successful kickstarter part there. the more successful it is, the more proof that the game has an audience to justify investing in, so we've still got to play our part in getting people onboard and convincing them this is a worthwhile endeavour
which it totally is. we're taking a game that didn't get made for 14 years out of the hands of a big publisher, and making it happen ourselves by funding yu and ys.net. it'll set a great standard for the future. fans can truly put their money where their mouth is and get the games they've wanted for years.
though, i don't think we'll ever see a kickstarter quite like this again. but it sets a great precedent that game series aren't just killed off for good at the whims of the moneymen and bean counters.
we're transitioning away from the model where the games that get made are dictated only by the economics of game making, rather than how much they mean to people. what with a pretty high average pledge and all the stories that have come out about how shenmue has changed the lives of people, it's clear that this game is being funded out of love from old fans and curiosity from potential new ones.
the world needs a new shenmue more than ever. there hasn't been a game since that has had such softy ideals of what it can be. that goes for more than just its story. lots of games now are bold with their story telling, but shenmue was bold from top to bottom. its story, setting, graphics, and mechanics were not something seen in games before. we need that kind of boldness again, and this kickstarter is showing that boldness can be pried from the cold hands of bottom-line focussed business executives.

oh yeah, i think 5 million is the point where yu suzuki gets to stretch his design legs and do new things with the series. i'm really glad that we've very nearly hit that point and that the new gameplay mechanics were loaded towards the bottom of the stretch goals. 5 million from KS is going to help make a really great, interesting game.
implementing new features is a bit harder than a new boss or an online mode though, but it's not unheard of. 7.5 million is where the last big new gameplay change is. i hope we can get close to that, but even if we don't i'll be happy with three big new gameplay changes to explore and try out.
