[IrishNinja]

Can't wait to see his face after this crazy boost the past few hours.

can you imagine the validation dude must be feeling now? again, we lost over a decade of his work, but it's still surreal seeing a legend get his due

 

[Oriel]

[danwarb]

Will red shirt guy be there?

So why did he put on those gloves?

 

[IrishNinja]

^haha, prolly

[Oriel]

Calling it; Suzuki, flanked by Sega execs with their heads bowed, announces Shenmue HD Remasters. He and Sega Sammy chief Hajime Satomi then have a forklift race in a prototype online component being developed for Shenmue III. An hour later 10 million is pledged.

"look at TJ&E 3, Shenmue, a Jet Set clone..honestly, we had no idea you guys wanted the quality we had in the 90's, our bad."
"PS: PSO 2.0 still canceled."

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

IN for more Red Shirt Guy antics!

 

[Kucan]

So why did he put on those gloves?

If I remember correctly he was just about to show off the reward watch and wanted to be careful.

 

[Synth]

Shenmue: A New Journey

Shenmue: The Sadness I carry on my shoulders

I'll only watch it if red shirt is on it.

 

[IrishNinja]

[N.A]

Is this our new home?

 

[Augemitbutter]

6 comrades.

 

[def sim]

Sure, I'll put one more stream on while watching EVO.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I'm ready to leave the cave but now I have $6,000,000!

 

[so1337]

Awesome gif.

Spoiler

[Drencrom]

Next stop, 6.5M!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

[IrishNinja]

Awesome gif.

Spoiler

I made it. lol

haha - tight work man!

Is this the new Kickstarter thread? lol. So confused.

nah, just the twitch one - new KS OT one is all you!

 

[HideyoshiJP]

Sure, I'll put one more stream on while watching EVO.

I hope there's more Fanta.

 

[ElTorro]

I really feel like having a Fanta, but maybe I should just stick to something mild, like whiskey and cocaine.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

3 hours left. My check hasn't entered my bank yet!

 

[Lindsay]

Hurrah! We tripled the amount Yu asked for! He's gotta be like super pumped now!

 

[Erevador]

Love seeing my BELIEVE image in the OT.

The hype is just too damn high.

 

[IrishNinja]

whiskey and cocaine.

party at eltorro's house

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

6.5 is the goal people lets do it

 

[GavinGT]

Sure, I'll put one more stream on while watching EVO.

I don't know if we should expect him to be more restrained today or less. Honestly I'm hoping for less, because it matches my excitement.

 

[Oriel]

I'm ready to leave the cave but now I have $6,000,000!

You can now hire someone to just whack Lan Di.

 

[zeshakag]

I don't know if we should expect him to be more restrained today or less. Honestly I'm hoping for less, because it matches my excitement.

I hope everybody is hyphy as fuck. I know I am lol

 

[miku]

Suzuki and Sega announce Shenmue 1+2 HD on Twitch maybe?

 

[pizzacat]

?

How much did they sell? 2 copies

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Somehow weird Red Shirt Guy seems fitting to the upcoming stream. Probably because the campaign is pretty much a success at this point, and I just want to be entertained.

 

[ElTorro]

party at eltorro's house

I have Fanta for everyone.

 

[VistraNorrez]

I hope one of the vendors in the game is called Red's Shirts or something like that.

 

[Synth]

How much did they sell? 2 copies

I can only verify one.

 

[def sim]

I don't know if we should expect him to be more restrained today or less. Honestly I'm hoping for less, because it matches my excitement.

We're in the final few hours. They can throw the bummiest presentation for a multi-million dollar project anybody will ever see and I'll be fine with it.

So, hopefully less.

 

[Oriel]

Suzuki and Sega announce Shenmue 1+2 HD on Twitch maybe?

Damn right!

Please.....
