Ok I put video in Op.
I cannot understand how anybody could possibly be upset by this. This seems like the most democratic method of deciding whether or not a game should exist ever. We literally voted with our wallet.
This is amazing. This is the way funding for game development should go IMO.
People are forgetting: All of this was voluntary.
Why? Physical media is dying as a primary game distribution platform.No PS4 hard copy is weird.
You know why people are concern trolling. It's cause it ain't coming to Xbone.
Kickstarter was for the PC version
since this is backed by Sony I doubt there would have been a PC version
Adamn saying the things touched on in this thread
-Helping out with funding and marketing.
-Kickstarter was made because sometimes it's hard to gauge if people are just passionate on message-boards or if they actually really want a sequel to be made.
No PS4 hard copy is weird.
No PS4 hard copy is weird.
Try telling this to the guys who tried to Kickstart a successor to Eternal Darkness, a game many people love and said they wanted a sequel/spiritual successor too.
They failed to raise even $100,000. Twice.
Words are cheap and Sony/Ys Net know this. The kickstarter is now an actual data point that they can take to their bean counters and say "Hey look at these records we just fucking broke overnight. We're totally contributing to this to get a PS4 version!" instead of empty promises from message boards.
I saw a trailer for Shenmue III
I've read a preview by Yu Suzuki
I have the ability to cancel
Are you seriously implying that some people don't know what they're getting when they back shenmue III?
not really unless there's some back room deal we don't know about. it's a crowd funded game.This confirms no Xbox then
This Thread represents moder Fanboyism and Gaming in a nutshell and it is disgusting to see and it makes me sad.
Y's and Sony give you a opportunity to have a Game "Fans" always wanted and people are bitching that Sony whants prove that it can get to a break even point.
People have to realize that this game is not for the main stream audience or gamers. The Kickstarter is just and only for the Fucking Hardcore Shenmue fans, so they can get a game out, that is most likely a financial disaster or not a game publisher want to fund. And it seems likeFans do not give a shit how this games is done. On average people are paying more than 80$ to get this idea of a game, which is insane.
40.000 Backers for such ,most likely, expensive game is not very much tbh, but it shows that some hardcore people really want that game and really go all in for this.
And now people blame sony to want some kind of security, that they do not lose a shit ton of money ? Ask yourself a question. Why did Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Acti, Ea or any other publisher try to get the game or try to fund it or even try help Y's? Because they know, that today this game is so niche and so exotic, that it will not be a main stream success and most likely a very high finanical risk, that nobody wanted to take or even consider in 14 years. Sony is willing to take this risk, but wanted proof that people do not only demand that game on Twitter, but also that they are ready to back it up financially and take a little bit of Sony's risk. How is this bad ?
People are getting this game cheaper, when they back it up with 30§, but most people just went crazy backing it up. But as I said it is only the most hardcore niche fans and not the main stream.
Sony gets blaimed for not taking a financial enormous risk and not giving a Niche game to all of you without some kind of security. The most people, who back Shenmue III do not give a shit about how, they are in heaven, that Sony even considers the idea of Shenmue III and they where kind enough to give this exotic game this grand stage.

OR they could just launch a kickstarter for it, and then help make it. Which is what they did because it was cheaper and easier. People are literally angry at capitalism right now.
I don't think it's fair to say this for everyone, and certainly not the OP.
It's best to stick to the arguments being made and countering them, no?
Why? Physical media is dying as a primary game distribution platform.

Yeah the slippery slope notion that consumers are mindless drones who dump their money into any future campaign is noted. No one is buying it.
Sony just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Kickstarter (I'm an expert), but transparency and honesty are huge parts of it. It's not like it was with Bloodborne where you can become successful by help funding and publishing it. If you help fund a game in Kickstarter, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the fans, after hearing about this, is not going to want to back Shenmue at all, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games they help fund in the future. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
Sony, remove all your funding or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Honestly, I am actually quite surprised that gamers actually want Shenmue 3 in huge demand.
Shenmue 1 did just over a million sales, right? Shenmue 2 did probably what.. 1/3rd of that?
Part of the reason we didn't have Shenmue 3 already was because nobody bought 2. I'm the only person I personally know who even played the game.
..and no offense, if you didn't play Shenmue when it came out.. I'm not sure how a gamer new to the series would probably even enjoy the game all that much. It's pretty dated by todays standards.
I just would feel better about the KS if they were upfront about the funding.

Agreed.
FUCK YOU SONY!
Shenmue fans deserve more transparency than this scam of a sequel.
