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

You will need to create two separate KS accounts bu can use same credit/debit card.

 

[Kodiak]

No trailers have been made yet.

videos... w/e

That lantern bug thing, the lighting and camera zooms were awful!

And the original pond... skipping video? With the "yes" dialog repeating several times.

I literally can't even. They're so bad!

Nope, one copy per pledge. You'll have to make a second account to get another. Many of us have a physical pledge and a digital one.

 

[KageMaru]

I've been trying to catch up to the old thread just to now see that we're at a new thread and over $6m!!!!!

This might be a stupid question but does anyone know if you still get your name in the credits with the $175 pledge?

 

[Synless]

This goes to show that kick track thing is full of shit.

 

[MrHoot]

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

"The depiction of sailors in Shenmue is problematic"

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Can't wait to play one of these games for the first time haha.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

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

Half Life 3

 

[Resilient]

LOL 6.5million actually seems possible. You hardcore guys are crazy!

 

[Ogni-XR21]

I really need to get to bed, but I just can't bring myself to turn off my computer...

Yes you do

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Clearly no spike.

Wow who was saying this?

'cause

 

[Wildschwein]

I'm crazy excited to see this game in a series I've never played come together.

I've got my ancient $5 copy of Shenmue 2 ready and untouched, and after an eternity, I've got a copy of Shenmue on the way. Just wired up my Dreamcast with a VGA cable, and I can't wait to check this whole thing out.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Half Life 3

true. I could see Gabe doing something crazy where we have to play cookie clicker for a billion hours to get it made or something

 

[Raziel]

Man why did the true CE (physical artbook + physical soundtrack) have to be $250 :/ Even just down to $200 would've been more feasible.

 

[Haunted]

This goes to show that kick track thing is full of shit.

We already knew that kicktraq extrapolates from the previous days and doesn't account for the final push.

We told this to the guy who kept concern posting the chart for the final days time and time again. Even if you were in doubt, it's nice to have confirmation, I suppose, but this really doesn't come as a surprise.

 

[openrob]

Whoop! Can't wait for this game. lIke I said in the previous thread, I must leave you all now, and will rejoin you in like 12 hours time

Ragdoll reaction - I will see you then!

 

[kamakazi5]

Why are they doing the stream so late? I would think they would do it with at least 6 hours left.

 

[TreIII]

Ah, thanks.

I thought I remembered some other KSers were you could do such, but didn't see it listed here. Thus, the reason I at least thought I'd ask!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

What was kicktraq estimating?

 

[Oriel]

Dude needs to be in the game tbh

Fresh from Tom's funk farm somewhere in Northern California.

 

[chrono01]

I'm tempted to up-pledge from $60 to $80 for that S3 World Telecom DLC.

I haven't even played Shenmue I/II, and yet, I feel as though it's something I should have.

...I'll probably up-pledge.

 

[Blobbers]

So that's it huh? The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has been successful?

 

[Loudninja]

Shenmue fans like on to the next one now.

Its a thing in other ones. But unfortunately addons didn't happen here.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

What was kicktraq estimating?

kicktraq is estimating the amount the KS has already made about a half hour ago, and has been doing this for a while now

 

[bananafactory]

So that's it huh? The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has been successful?

So that's it huh? We're just some kind of Most Successful Kickstarter Game in History

 

[Blunoise]

Guys question. Is that concept art in the op of Ryu in the green robe his future self once he accepts his destiny?

I'm bumping this cuz I want to know dammit! Lol

 

[bananafactory]

Its a thing in other ones. But unfortunately addons didn't happen here.

Can't they add it later? I remember The Long Dark gave us an option to buy addons for many months after the campaign ended

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Let me know if you want something else in the OT. Literally threw it together using useful posts from the last threads as I didn't know I was making it until last minute. Let me know!

 

[Synless]

What was kicktraq estimating?

Two days ago it was like 5.2-5.4 million.

 

[John Dunbar]

kind of depressing to think that after the fees and rewards 6.5 million would be closer to 4.5 million on the actual game.

The only KS it will be accurate for is Red Ass because nobody gives a shit about that.

 

[Haunted]

What was kicktraq estimating?

Around 5 million by trying to extrapolate the final total from the slow days during the mid-campaign lull.

It's a useful tool to do some quick math and usually correctly anticipate where a project will end up 1-2 days before the finish, before the final push.

The only KS it will be accurate for is Red Ass because nobody gives a shit about that.

well deserved

 

[chrono01]

And up-pledged to $80. What the hell, why not?

 

[Carl]

This goes to show that kick track thing is full of shit.

It's useful for daily data but that's all

 

[acxcrew]

Finally backed it for the PS4 version after much internet problems. Its like 4 am here. I debated for a while, but I finally did it.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

So that's it huh? The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has been successful?

A little bit.

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

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

Joy is my girl! There should be a reverse Yokosuka scene with Ryo holding onto Joy on the back of her bike. Lol!

 

[master15]

Why are they doing the stream so late? I would think they would do it with at least 6 hours left.

Team is based out of Japan and frankly I think a few hours works better than a whole day affair.

My only hope is AJ don't screw this up with technical issues.

 

[Oriel]

Wow who was saying this?

'cause

Unfortunately yes.

 

[VistraNorrez]

The Name a Vendor reward finally has a backer.

 

[slimelord]

I'm so excited! This Kickstarter has been a crazy ride and I think we're all ready for the next stage.

 

[bon]

Just a few hours left, oh man.

[dlbeast]

6.2-6.3 this is where it ends.



gawd i wish 6.5 would happen....but it just seems impossible atm

 

[Axass]

Is international shipping accounted for in the $60 physical rewards (doubt it) or will it be added later on?

 

[N.A]

Joy is my girl! There should be a reverse Yokosuka scene with Ryo holding onto Joy on the back of her bike. Lol!

If anyone finds my old Xbox HDD I wonder if it still has the creepy photos I took in photo mode when I was 13 xD

 

[Rubenkp]

Pledged! My first KS...
I haven't played Shenmue but I just want to be a part of this and help you guys to get the game you deserve!

Looking forward for the HD collection any time soon.

 

[KageMaru]

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

The fighting engine always amazes me, especially when you consider when these games came out.

Yes you do

Awesome, thanks!

 

[chrono01]

Shipping for the lower tiers are free, IIRC.
