Adam Boyes says the same thing on Giant Bomb. Should be obvious though.
Anyway, going on stage was a good way to publicize the Kickstarter but the Sony involvement mystery has perhaps stifled more money going into the Kickstarter.
People have thought Sony are bringing in a large chunk plus marketing and now the kickstarter reached the goal we can all sit back.
My thoughts were Sony is adding only a few million plus marketing and other private investors are adding some plus the kickstarter money.
Even now we don't really know. I think they need to communicate roughly how much they need from kickstarter, who else is involved, what's the full budget they have and clear up confusion to how much each of the older games cost and the complexities back then adding to the cost of building the tech. Seems like its 47 million over 2 games and huge ground work involved. Most keep claiming astronomical figures and fear if they don't have 40 million the game is a dud
I think 10-15-20 million can build a great Shenmue
Edit to avoid odd quotes: I'm not asking for company names, investor names of amounts to be declared. Just a rough idea to help more people act or not on the kickstarter. I'm fully aware details aren't disclosed. I'm well into stocks share and funding, venture capitalist so no silly quotes please.
