If it wasn't Shenmue 3 and if it wasn't Yu Suzuki it might have been the worst KS/Public funding attempt since Shadow of the Eternals
I'm suspecting that they did such a poor ass job with the stretch goals because they just needed to hit 2 million for their business partners to approve of funding but then they got caught up in the whole BUBUBUBUBUBU WHY IS SONY TRYING TO TAKE MAH MONEY bullshit and had to try and survive that dumbass backlash and have done poorly at that.

Pretty cool about Zestria. BUT not for me. Still have Symphonia 1&2 plus Xilia to play on PS3.

They should have said "from the studio behind the Gothic series". Better games.
I just want Tales of the Abyss with Dual Voice, voiced skits and framerate above 10fps while on the world map.

Wanting to know the actual budget of the game and where it's coming from is hardly what I'd call bullshit.

For a Kickstarter it's actually relevant information.

Symphonia was quite good, while some parts of it have been improved in newer Tales of Games, it has a solid cast of characters, dungeons, bosses, side-quest, and story. It also is the biggest Tales of game in terms of length and content, has the biggest world map and places to visit, longest-running story, and a large slew of side-quests and scenes to take-part in, plus certain elements that change based on some decisions made through the game.
Easily a 50-100 hour long game, based on how much you delve into side content and not. My first playthrough took me 122 hours, but I spent a lot of time doing side things and just messing around, I was younger at the time. XD;

Is it? If i told you I could make FFVII remake but i just needed $2 million from you would you give a shit where i got the rest of the money from?
Bloodstained just did the same thing Shenmue did: They did a kickstarter to gauge interest, to see if it's worth making the game, and the remainder of the funding was coming from someone else. No one gave a shit, people were fine with it. The only difference between the two is that they ran their kickstarter in a competent fashion with decent stretch goals (they technically didn't need to be that elaborate, they just needed to hit their goal for the game to be funded just like Shenmue) and the money isn't coming from a console maker.
I get the distinct sense that a lot of the vitriol that Shenmue 3 received has been due to its being a Sony console exclusive and there is some bitterness that a certain machine won't be getting it. But, alas, I do not wish to stoke the flames of the console wars.
Few minor things to point out. Only the 7th game is SR. Also, I think there's better games you could pick over BraveSoul. It's a decent game, and it's an interesting Diablo clone, but there are definitely much better choices. Perhaps MGQ or Utawarerumono would be better.
That game looks awesome.
will wishlist promptly when I get home, only not sure I have someone to play it with

it was the case with 100% OG too, but I only got to play with other people on steam, and it was much more fun this way.

The game is still in production and they just moved to a new renderer. I'd at least wait till they release their "final" build before passing judgment on something that's still in the oven.

I didn't even knew this had multiplayer now, It was single player only back then...
And it's a browser game, will they just wrap the game in a client for Steam?
steam page says multiplayer and coop, so I assumed it will have both.
It's a very weird game to have only singleplayer.

Same here. Played a bit back in the Beta. Would probably jump on the Steam version because +1

I just checked my account and yeah, it has multiplayer now
The single player campaign was fun, no clue how the multi works
Maybe there is no +1 if the Steam version is also F2P
I'm gonna expect 720p30 for good measure, so I can be pleasantly surprised when it turns out to be 1080p30.

Yes, most certainly. Because wanting to make a 40 million dollar game and then only asking for 2 million dollars is the biggest fucking red flag in crowdfunding. Any project that offers the moon and asks for peanuts gets laughed out of the room. Except the ones that are powered by the rose tinted glasses of fanboys, apparently.
Ah yes, the "we need to gauge interest" line. I mean it's not like there are market research firms that specialize in doing exactly this. Oh no. We have an unspecified set of private investors who are willing to dump an unspecified number of millions of dollars and none of them thought of hiring specialists to run the numbers. Nope. They are putting all their money down purely on the basis of contributions from the fans. Only suckers truly buy this line of reasoning.
Here's why Sony and/or other private investors will not reveal themselves or the amount they are committing to the project. The first and most obvious question that would be asked is why a multibillion dollar corporation can agree to provide X million dollars but not X+2 million. And the higher that X goes, the more poignant the question becomes.
I can pre-order Call of Duty for $60 or the digital special edition for $80 a few months in advance of it's release. That's the most Activision can charge me and the earliest they can charge me for it. Now Kickstarter. On Kickstarter you can charge $300 from a person willing to pay that much. Or $500. Or $3000. And you can do it years in advance of the actual product ever coming out.
We already know that the game isn't being made for 2 million dollars. There have already been discussions and agreements made to fund the game outside of that amount. All the licensing and stuff has obviously been taken care of. All the preparation for the game to be made was done prior to E3. It was already going to be made. They weren't waiting on those 2 million dollars to actually make the game. So why not get as much money from pre-orders as possible?
I'm not going to launch into a discussion of how Kickstarter is a noble cause that should be reserved for starving artists or any of that nonsense. Using Kickstarter this way is perfectly fine. It leads to a lot of good PR and positive sentiment and they get a lot of money well in advance of ever delivering the product. And gamers get to think that they had a hand in bringing the game back from the dead. It's a win win for everyone. But let's not castigate those who have the audacity to ask straightforward questions like how much the game will actually cost and where the remaining money is coming from.
It's been available for couple of years already. I guess they finally decided Steam is a decent PC platform for their game. And while many people will say they like the F2P model of that game, I thought it was just bad at least around release. But then again, I consider just about every F2P model terrible.

Dang, sorry. Hardware failure is one of the worst things.
A whole new game for free? That is one of the better pre-order incentives. 50 bucks is still way more than I'd ever pay for a single (or two) games.
I have to watch Tales Smpyhonia reviews. Not sure how gameplay is.
Xillia 2 was 70$CAN here at release. 55$CAN sounds actually very reasonable.
wow what a wonderful excuse to get a 980ti

Not really. Considering the uncertainty over whether there was enough of a fanbase to fund the game in the first place and the fact that the highest KS projects have capped out around $5 million, $2 mil is a respectable funding goal.
Although I don't necessarily think that laying out stretch goals up to $10 mil was a good thing for the campaign, their hand was basically forced when everyone took Yu Susuki's comment about $10 mil being what he needed to create a "true" experience and running with it, to the detriment of the campaign. It's no one else's fault but the diehard fans that they perceive the campaign to be a failure, even though it's one of the highest-earning KS projects ever and was planned out long in advance.
You're ignoring that making a game today is far different than it was back in the 90s, doubly so because a large chunk of Shen I/II's budget were spent towards creating an entirely new engine and the scope of the project. UE4 costs peanuts, and I'm confident that they'll be able to stretch their dollars far further than they did back then.
