Loosen those purse strings, brethren. It'll reach 7 million, I think. But 10 million will take some stretching.
Hopefully they get on top of the KS campaign so we can get there.
Where's a Saudi prince fan of Shenmue, when you need him?

Sounds like the suggestion that Sony is funding most of this was pretty far off base. This campaign is more important than just gauging interest, it's crucial to the development of the final product
Q:
How much game elements/features will we be missing in the game if the campaign doesn't reach the $5 million mark?
A:
I will say this: if we reach the $5 mil mark, one of the things I really want to do with Shenmue 3 will become a reality.
At $10 million, it will truly have the features of an open world.

For one, they should kill the rumor that Sony is co-funding in any way they can.There you go, everyone. I was right. If we really want the game fully released together with added features that are beyond our expectation, the KS need to reach $15 million. $10 million is just to make it a true features openworld but $15 million is the true bullseye target that we need to reach.
Yu Suzuki seriously need to think of additional funding method via the use of Paypal after kickstarter because Bloodreign performance is not a performance we should be following, we have to look beyond that. So sadly, there are tons of stuff that needs to be done to really increase the funding and it starts will more Sony PR support, updated the Kickstarter page with better tiers information, reward offerings, order or layout and so on and forth, and we need more medias at this early stage to support the game in effort to get more funding by reminding everyone just how important Shenmue is. I'm not putting down the project by any means, I'm productively highlighting what needs to be done in order for us to get the REAL Shenmue III that we all want to see.
I can see 5 million happen... I could see it even creep over to 6 million on the final days. But 10 million is a tall order.
guess we've all got to dig deepHahahaa you funny person ahahah.
No but seriously I looked at Notch's twitter feed and no mentions of Shenmue. If he was a fan he definitely would've mentioned it.

It may be good publicity for Sony, but it's gonna hurt this real bad.

Not really if the trend continue : http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/
Shenmue-lite confirmed.. Fuck, getting a little worried about what exactly we're going to end up with here. If we hit way under 10 Mil, are we going to end up with something resembling like an on-rails shenmue?! :/
Looking back on it, I think making the initial goal only 2 million was a mistake....
They should have aimed higher. When it reached 2 million it really slowed own.
Given that it'll never release for Xbox, doubt saying that will help in the slightest.
The relation to Microsoft is not the point, the point is people who think this is some sort of a scam to get some extra free money from fans, and are convinced Sony can and will pony up the production cash, which in reality they won't.My guess is Sony is helping with Marketing, R&D and basic development support only. Nothing further until they see the game for themselves to which will give them the opportunity to think again about really backing the game. At least that is something for Microsoft did nothing.
6 million is possible. 10 won't happen . Only with Paypal after the campaign and lots of publicity during developement. Even then it's a huge number. Sony heeeelp

Let's try to stay positive.
If things do NOT change then I predict that the KS will stop at $5.5 million. If they get the information on the Kickstarter right and update everyone then the KS will stop at $7-8 million. If they work with SONY PR all during these days to get more funding then the KS will potentially stop at $16 million+. So, for now, it is more realistic to think of post-kickstarter support for the next 3 months (can't go longer as that will delay pre-production) as that will be very important.
So basically, as I said many times on this forum, we need to help by spreading the communication of the Shenmue III kickstarter further and remove the idea that the true goal has been reached.

I think that's misleading since the funding was so heavily front loaded.
Do we know who's managing the Kickstarter ?
Start a topic to counteract the one from earlier this week? GAF news spreads.Question is, how to get the word out.
Really though, something like 40% of the total funding in the Pillars of Eternity Kickstarter came from existing backers upgrading their pledge. They shouldn't see a backer as a stationary thing, but as a segment that should be targeted towards upgrading their pledge. That's where significant money will come from.

Some upstarts called Awesome Japan.

Q:
Will there be more funding tiers added to the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter, specifically between the $500 and $3000 tier?
A:
Yes.
Fair point.Start a topic to counteract the one from earlier this week? GAF news spreads.
Fair point.
The quote from Famitsu about individual backers being the primary funding source is probably newsworthy on its own, and the $5m/$10m goal splits is another meaningful bit of information.
