What if Shenmue III is bad?

Too Soon.

 

[Laevateinn]

I picked the hundred tier. I don't get to choose which version I get yet?

The text of that tier was written before PS4 version was confirmed. Everyone who pledges above 60 will get to choose their version.

 

[Acquiescence]

SO many Shenmue 3 threads, I can't keep up.

 

[Synless]

Holy fuck, we did it!!!!

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

2017 can't come soon enough! That demo is going to make the wait even more painful I bet! Come on Yu work that god magic!

 

[dlbeast]

107k to go this hour and then we got a chance!

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

What if Shenmue III is bad?

After believing this was a pipe dream, I'll take anything

 

[ElTorro]

What if Shenmue III is bad?

In any case, I look forward to reading the Polygon review.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Seeing these numbers makes me wonder how much a kickstarter for an actually popular franchise would make?









like Sonic, if it ever was the case that one was needed

 

[master15]

SO many Shenmue 3 threads, I can't keep up.

My eyes, hands and fingers will be relieved after today. Shenme overload.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Y'all better be listening to this shit or something.

 

[TreIII]

I wanted to buy a PS4 copy for a friend. Could I up my pledge to 120 to pay for his and my own?

 

[vilmer_]

Over 6 million?!

 

[John Dunbar]

My greatest, paralyzing, fear is that any of these high-profile dreams come true might not deliver. What if Shenmue III is bad?

knowing the unpleasant truth is still better than living in uncertainty.

 

[disappeared]

In any case, I look forward to reading the Polygon review.

6.5/10

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

YES

 

[StarVigil]

You guys are nuts!

 

[Varion]

Yu Suzuki wouldn't allow it. The development team would've been flayed alive long before release if it looked like that was going to happen.

 

[kamakazi5]

My greatest, paralyzing, fear is that any of these high-profile dreams come true might not deliver. What if Shenmue III is bad?

And what if it's the greatest game ever created? Don't worry too much.

 

[digitaldevmike]

Gotta go fast!

 

[IrishNinja]

My greatest, paralyzing, fear is that any of these high-profile dreams come true might not deliver. What if Shenmue III is bad?

look at the lineup on the KS page - there's all kinds've ways this could've gone half-assed (god, one gaffer wanted telltalle to do it...), but nearly all the right names are attached to this.

if this goes bad, it won't be because of the delay - this looks like we're really getting his original vision here. couldn't be more hyped.

 

[Lindsay]

Once the kickstarter is over I'm so going on a Shenmue 3 media blackout. People who post threads about new details released on the game had better make super vague titles for them!!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

[benzy]

Let's get that rag doll.

Popular like Castlevania?

As well as Sonic does in retail, I don't think a Kickstarter of it would do well. We aren't starving for Sonic games. Maybe if Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima teamed up for a spiritual successor.

 

[Oriel]

The last five days.

Clearly no spike.

 

[Spaghetti]

3 hours and 15 minutes left

let's see if we can kick this into overdrive.

 

[IrishNinja]

Popular like Castlevania?

for real, Mega Man & CV were/are tremendously more popular than shenmue, i'm still amazed we beat both

 

[Nibel]

Over 6 million?!

Dude needs to be in the game tbh

 

[Theonik]

You guys are nuts!

THERE IS NO STOPPING THIS TRAIN

 

[Gurra]

Backed for 500$!

Cant wait.

 

[Meowster]

Alright, I've pledged, have to help a community and the man behind it get their dream. Let's do it!

 

[John Dunbar]

Dude needs to be in the game tbh

he will be backpacking in china with goro.

 

[bananafactory]

Already halfway to 6.1 mil

 

[Blunoise]

Guys question. Is that arty in the green robe his future self once he accepts his destiny?

 

[Pyroclastic]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

 

[Kodiak]

Okay what the fuck is up with both of the Trailers for this game... they are both hillariously bad.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

 

[disappeared]

Benzy I dont see any sailors in that gif...

 

[shinobi602]

Hope they do something special in the Twitch stream! Should really kick it into overdrive.

 

[dolabla]

Holy crap, wasn't it in the 4 million range just two days ago? I've never played a Shenmue game before, but I gave $60 for the cause. Pretty awesome to see it rise like that.

short of a FF7 remake, what game has a large enough starving fanbase to surpass this if it had a KS?

 

[Aenima]

Indeed amazing. So proud of all the Shenmue fans and backers.

 

[Haunted]

No trailers have been made yet.

Don't read too much into the minute of prototype/target footage they've shown considering that the project hasn't even entered production yet.

 

[Maleko Saint]

Really looking forward to these phone conversations with characters from 1&2. Should lead to some interesting moments catching up with some of them.

 

[John Dunbar]

while it would be nice, there's no way they would have left anything really big so late.

 

[Spaghetti]

it's a kickstarter

emphasis on the kickstart part. they need money to staff up and make the game.

A games that's 2 years off looks off in test footage?!?!?

How odd!

 

[marcrochip2]

Upped my pledge from $29 to $60. Can't wait to play this.

 

[TheCochese]

OK fam, if we are within a shout of 6.5 at the close, I'll up to $100.
