this is going to get funded before i wake up in 6-7hrs... they should put up more goals.

This will get funded in the next 2-3 hours.

 

[TheStruggler]

I have never played shenmue before, how is it so great, i am a noob

 

[SparkTR]

If this is crowd funded, why is it PS4/PC only? I don't see what Sony has to do with this.

Kagari seemed to hint at a Sony deal in another thread. This Kickstarter is just to gauge interest.

 

[komorebi]

Your boy knew it at the first note, lol... This is what I was doing inside my heart.

Me too. I heard the first note of that music and lost it.

 

[GavinGT]

Finally Ryo gets to fart so hard he goes into space

I seriously thought it was a Mega64 skit when I first saw Yu Suzuki at the conference.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

I'll bet Sony announces some sort of donation afterwards. Pre-planned of course.

I would say that's a great idea, but they know people will donate all the game needs, so it just comes off as greedy.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

The previous record holder was the Veronica Mars movie. It took 4 hours and 24 minutes.

This didn't just beat it. It DESTROYED it.

Edit: Nevermind, the Pebble Smartwatch did it in 30 minutes. Still, #2 ain't bad.

 

[celsowmbr]

Shenmue HD at some point is inevitable for PC/PS4 right?

Yes!

As soon as that feather dropped it was over

 

[thiscoldblack]

Excellent. Just excellent. Keep it coming guys. Shenmue III needs to be fucking amazing after all these years of waiting. It was basically just a long gone dream by now.

 

[Peltz]

"every dream has come true"

believe

Seeing that reaction warmed my heart.

 

[Coop]

crazy how fast this got to a million. hopefully we get 1 & 2 remastered.

 

[takoyaki]

Travis wants his cat back.

Mr. Touchdown can wait, that's Megumi's cat

 

[Assanova]

Definitely had to back this one. Hopefully, we will get the old versions released on the new consoles as well.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

All aboard the hype forklift!

 

[cantona222]

Apparently.

ouch. What are you gonna do next? You need to create a separate thread for that

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Holy crap, it's already at a million in less than 2 hours? At this rate it will hit all it's stretch goals in a like a day or two! It crashed Kickstarter when I went to check right at the conference showing which also crashed Neogaf.

Shenmue 3....I can't believe it.

The want, need....ache is mountainous.

 

[Naminator]

Anyone posted this yet?

If this is crowd funded, why is it PS4/PC only? I don't see what Sony has to do with this.

It's actually not that uncommon to see KS court only PC and Sony. Xbox One is probably one of the rarer platforms to see be included in a KS.

Not to dismiss people suggesting it's because Sony is helping fund it, but there's more than just that as precedent for kickstarters to ignore the platform.

[sora87]

Do you know where I can watch the entire stream. Thank you!

It'll be in the gametrailers archive

 

[MaximumSpider]

I hope!
Really wanna play the first two before I get the third on PS4.

 

[Furoba]

there was no Sega logo during that reveal

I really want Sega to regret their poor decision making concerning Shenmue.

 

[clem84]

I wonder why they couldn't have PS4 physical copies. Bloodstained had a bunch of them. It just proves it can be done.

 

[Vanish]

First and possibly last Kickstarter I will fund. Dreams do come true

hope an HD remaster of the first 2 eventually gets made

First thing I thought of when they mentioned kickstarter lol.

 

[Sayah]

Imagine the first 3d walking simulator but you know martial arts and love going to arcades

Basically the best games ever.

Cool. Hope I get to play them.

 

[liquidtmd]

Nibel...

 

[Acquiescence]

Remember: Nobody wants this and it's just nostalgia. That's why it crossed $1 mil and nearly 12,000 backers in 90 minutes.

Throwing up a middle finger to all the naysayers. I love it.

Eat crow DuckRoll

lmao!

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Kagari seemed to hint at a Sony deal in another thread. This Kickstarter is just to gauge interest.

While I could guess the same, the kickstarter comes as sleazy to me. Either fund it or don't. And if you are going to put it in your freaking E3 conference you better damn well fund it.

 

[shmoglish]

It just set a new record. It took Yooka-laylee much longer to reach 1 million, and that itself was a record.

Very fast.

Fastest yet actually.

At this pace it will be met in about three hours.

Wow,looks like we can forget all the "only a few people are interested in shenmue" comments.

Going to give 29 Dollars later, sadly there is no psretail Version

 

[Krejlooc]

Eat crow DuckRoll

lmao, not only that, but fastest project in KS history to a million dollars. It not only did it, it did it faster than any other project, ever.

 

[DXLelouch153]

i bet Sega is seeing the kickstarter and going like
FUCK why did we let him have the IP

 

[clem84]

Eat crow DuckRoll

awesome

 

[CheDominik]

I'll bet Sony announces some sort of donation afterwards. Pre-planned of course.

I think Sony already gave them some money(maybe a loan with no interest?), because 2 million seems a little bit low.

 

[brett2]

All us classic Sega fans appreciate those people throwing in money that haven't even played Shenmue 1&2. It's definitely a different type of game that might not have the same broad appeal as Call of Duty but everyone should experience playing these unique games. If you are even a little bit tired of the same old yearly releases give Shenmue a shot you won't regret it. There's just nothing else like it.

 

[Augemitbutter]

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!

this shit is so crazy. to see it all in once place like this......

wake me up, this can't be real. one week ago nobody would have believed anything like this was possible. 3 fan favorites announced/confirmed at the same time.

Is it the guy of transformer?

 

[Kikujiro]

Remember, there are only like 100 Shenmue fans and a Kickstarter would fail. Haters gonna hate.

 

[M.Steiner]

Backed for $310. The most I've ever pledged to a kickstarter but I've waited half my life for this. Still can't believe it's actually happening.

 

[Krejlooc]

i bet Sega is seeing the kickstarter and going like
FUCK why did we let him have the IP

They didn't, Sega still owns the IP. They are in the trailer.

 

[Erekiddo]

One last one.

Wouldn't someone think, that sure is a weird spike based off of current and previous pledges.

Not thread worthy, but, changin'.

 

[Phanatic8390]

I just ordered Shenmue 2... Time to dig that Dreamcast and Xbox out see what the fuss is all about

 

[Face it Tiger..]

yass finally.

and it's amazing it's already past 1 mill.

 

[AcademicSaucer]
