Unquestionably. 14 years is a long time to wait, man.

Man, this is definitely an E3 to remember! There is no doubt this will get funded. It's already halfway there! Shenmue 3 is coming guys!!! What an exciting time to be a gamer.

I wonder if Sony is partially funding this. Kind of weird that there is no Xbox version considering there were ports of I and II on the OG Xbox.
This franchise has been MIA for 14 years...since the Dreamcast. Now its gonna get funded on PS4, on a Sony platform no one ever visioned.
Its special projects like these that need fan backing to get made or get partial funding. Without Sony (or 1 of the 3) throwing Yu support or Kickstarted, you can keep dreaming of Shunmue 3 ever coming out.

This is true. I expect a more focused and shorter experience, without a doubt. Probably not voiced and no big city to explore. What would be the point, really? Those were groundbreaking elements in 1999 but are now relatively commonplace in the open world genre. This is about getting closure for fans that have will have waited 16 years for it. It was a special game for a special console released in a special time in gaming's history. It'll be amazing to see it end regardless.

I've had Shenmue 2 sitting here for over a decade, but I never followed through to pick up the first game. I imagine that the DVD that came with 2 on the xbox isn't the ideal way to experience that, eh?
Time to hop on ebay and bust out the Dreamcast.

It was massive but the Shenmue III reaction was extra-orbital! I reacted the same way.
Be back soon. Going to buy another drink.

Called it, and the FF7 remake plus TLG. All announced within an hour though? Holy fucking shit.
GT Crew was spot-on awesome tonight.
You should look up the archived stream when it goes up and just watch those opening - they go WILD. Huber starts walking off the set proclaiming he's going to the bank! lol

This is gonna be the fastest funded kickayarter ever lol
I disagree; the open-world aspect of Shenmue still holds up today. It's mainly certain aspects of the graphics (the townfolk have terribad textures) and the voice acting that really needs to be redone.
The world itself is masterfully designed and still holds up, because it is based on a real location and has things happening at different times of the day. I feel more immersion in Shenmue's world than I have with any Assassin's Creed. This is my own personal feeling, of course.

I paid over 60+ for this game. No price is high enough for Shenmue 3.

Huber almost broke my speaker, lol.
From Last Guardian, through FFVII to Shenmue 3, it was all screaming.
after that they basically stopped following the conference.
I fucking love this guy. This is the kind of reaction that warms your heart.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
i really hope the game delivers for how much hype it has or this will be a disaster.
I'm shocked people are acting like this is funding slowly. Yooka Laylee was the fastest game to 1m and it took six hours. This is breaking 1m in under 2 hours. You downplayers are hatin' hard.
I still cannot believe this is happening. Though I have to be honest.. I kind of wish we were getting S1 and 2 remasters.

About to hit $1m. So awesome to see.
/edit: beaten
Hahahaha such a fantastic moment!
The game is nearing 1mil ($990,000 to be exact), hopefully this will show Sony and Sega how much we want this series so they'll back it. I want a physical copy of this for my PS4 lol.

CAnt believe 2 million is enough to make Shenmue 3, are they hoping to make the rest of the money through stretch goals, or is Sony really going to fund them after all ?

This is going to wind up smashing all sorts of records. The crow eating is going to be glorious.

Sorry if this has been asked, but the thread is long and my computer just got back from repair. I have been out of the loop.
Is Sega involved with this in some manner? Did Yu buy the rights? Or did Sega just give him their blessing?
I know they were cool about him making that mobile Shenmue years ago.
I feel like this is dream, too good to be true.
Edit: Oh shit!!! This is Sony's undertaking???

I'm actually doubting that as it goes along. The inclusion of stretch goals to expand the size of the game seems a little odd.
I get a sense this will be an indie game and not the Shenmue people are looking for. Just a game to complete the saga, not what the first two were.
Targeting $30 for a copy of the game is a little light, no?
Also, we are currently sitting at 10k copies sold. People are throwing money at this game, but for a publisher to step into this they have to believe that they will sell enough copies to people whom aren't funding it.

At the rate that it's going we should easily hit $50-70 million by July 18th...

He must have other financial support with this. Like Itagaki did for his project.
Dear Brothers of Shenmue, The Last Guardian and FFVII Remake GAF.
In our finest hour, under a united banner we willed a miracle in to existence.
Let it be forever remembered that this banner was created BEFORE the Sony Conference by fellow brothers.
Let us not forget this day, for this call to arms may be needed once again.
BELIEVE!
Somebody make a T-shirt out of that, I want it.
