Wait. Did you really.Uh. GAF. I backed immediately when the site was chugging.
I chose the $29 tier but it pledged me at the $10,000 jacket tier.
Am I badass enough to roll around in a 10k jacket?
no

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!
There it is. 1 million.
Incredible. Simply incredible.ONE MILLION RAISED
1 Million USD in. WOW!
My guess is that Sony has already agreed to partly fund the game, and that this Kickstarter is simply a courtesy gesture to offset development costs.
If the original game cost 70m to finance in the '90s, we can assume that 2m and a tiny team of Sega remnants really isn't going to conjure up much content in 2015.
Still, we'll see how far this goes.
I'd have preferred a Shenmue 1&2 port myself.
Shenmue, all of it, cost about $40 million to make. For the record - the reason it cost that much to make is because they created an entire, revolutionary engine from scratch, built content for all of shenmue I and II and some of shenmue III, scrapped it, then started over on the dreamcast, and rebuilt all of shenmue I and II.
Of course something like that would cost a large figure in 1999.
By contrast, this uses UE4, so no tool or engine creation needed. And they're not going to make this, then remake it all over again on the same budget. And the $2 million isn't the full budget.

Imagine the first 3d walking simulator but you know martial arts and love going to arcadesThere needs to be an HD collection of the first two games. Never played them so don't know what the hype is all about.
