I would have liked to see Sony or Sega step up with HD remasters of the original two though. Wouldn't cost much, probably sell enough to justify it, and would help this do better.

NMP though, still got that Dreamcast hooked up down in the basement.

the kickstarter says dec 2017 assuming the normal kickstarter delay it will likely be spring 2018 for this game, which is plenty of time to release HD remasters of the first two games.

Sony fans have the privilege of funding a game from their own pockets so that Sony can make more money!

Seems kind of disingenuous to me.

 

[Momentary]

This is going to shoot WAY past the 4,000,000 stretch goal.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Kickstarter page is weak as fuck. I know everyone is hyped at the thought but man, it looks like a student turning in a semester project he made the night before its due date.

Probably hired the student that just finished said semester project to make the page the next night lol.

 

[shenmue mugen]

SHENMUE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SHENMUE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[5taquitos]

This thing is going to break a mil in less than a couple hours

 

[Dennis]

$680,000

 

[R_thanatos]

Backed , i ask for nothing else

or maybe a game of lucky hit

 

[Trojan X]

NEARLY $700,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Poetic]

It'll be funded by tomorrow for sure. It's almost to 700k.

Oh please. Don't start with shit like that. :-/

 

[Augemitbutter]

it's happening guys.

 

[hokahey]

I can't even believe it. I have to buy a PS4 now.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

im guessing sony have funded a portion of the game hence why no x1 release + game will cost more than 2m to make

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Unreal. Still can't believe it. Really hoping Yu gets to realise his vision as close as possible with Shenmue 3. Been waiting for this for so long and it's surreal that it's finally getting made.

 

[BTails]

No option for a physical PS4 version, so I only backed for $5... I know this will be funded, and I'll be buying a copy day one, but I couldn't NOT throw some money where my mouth is.

 

[Confounding Factor]

I can't be the only one thinking that begging fans for money on the stage of a multimillion corporation is a bit fucked...

Bingo.

 

[RustyNails]

This thing is going to easily zoom past 10 mil.

 

[clokwize]

Amazing. After so many years.

 

[Cameron122]

40 million dollar stretch goal: Remakes of Shenmue I & II

 

[KennyLinder]

I've done my part! Excited.

 

[Dennis]

Tears, GAF. Tears.....

 

[takoyaki]

I still can't believe that I just backed Shenmue 3 on kickstarter, the wait has been so long that it just doesn't feel real. So happy about this

 

[DOWN]

Sony basically gave them the green light as soon as they agreed to put it on stage. Interesting way to make the game happen and still make it a good low-risk partner for PlayStation

 

[GavinGT]

The in-game footage they showed looks like a garbage fan game. Take my money anyways.

 

[ramuh]

Lol, I opened the KS page "it's probably funded with tens of thousands already"

$520,410

Holy shit.

Add 150k to that... Crazy.

 

[Trago]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

 

[Plinko]

This will be funded by the morning at this rate.

Do you think Shenmue 3 costs just 2 million $ to make? Maybe they have some kind of agreement that if the game is funded 2M$ Sony or Sega or whoever is putting the rest of the money.

 

[Synless]

I funded this as a fan of the originals. I have to say, between TLG and FFVII remake I can die happy.

 

[FLAguy954]

This is going to be funded before the 16th, I'm calling it now.

 

[Raiku]

Is this real motherfucking life

 

[jackdoe]

This game isn't getting made for $2 million. That $2 million goal is probably to show an investor, probably Sony, that there's enough interest for it to be worth the investment.

People have been asking for this for years. Why are you complaining now ? what for ?

Seriously.

 

[Lord Kefka]

Did sony just get a console exclusive just by letting the game be advertised on their e3 conference? I mean i of course HAVE to back this game, but this seems EXTREMELY shady to me by Sony. Everything that was done is the opposite for what Kickstarter is for.

 

[Captain Smirk]

700k done, this is gonna ease past 2 million...

What tier should I back gaf?

 

[joedan]

How come it's so cheap to develop? Wasn't the original like 100 million or so to produce?

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Funded by 3am at this pace.

I hope it maintains this pace.

Because I'll cry the tears of long lost love returning.

 

[Soi-Fong]

I'm seriously looking at the 300 dollar tier. Shit.. I'm not sure.. Fuck..

 

[Trojan X]

This thing is going to easily zoom past 10 mil.

I hope he would use the money to make the game bigger, graphically better, and get Donnie Yen to act and motion capture Lan Di!!

 

[Hex]

Backed immediately

 

[ZhugeEX]

$700,000 already

 

[Super Rookie]

My first ever kickstarter backing!
Pledged $500

 

[SRTtoZ]

It looks like we're getting Shenmue 3 folks, 700k and counting, it went up 50k in the last 5 minutes. HOLY SHIT. Backer I AM!

 

[tav7623]

Confession time: I've never played a Shenmue game (n have I played Final Fantasy VII or Chrono Trigger for that matter) before, but given the amount of talk, hype, whining, and/or dreaming I've heard about this game over the past decade I decided to back this game (but not at the physical copy tier I wanted cause my wallet is still crying after being ravaged by the Bloodstained Kickstarter) and finally experience my first Shenmue game.

 

[The Flop]

backed it for PC, but hoping a future stretch goal is an Xbox One Port.

 

[BadAss2961]

My first kickstarter.

Quick question - how and when do we get to decide which platform we want for our digital copy?

 

[Vamphuntr]

Wow I will eat crow I never thought this could be kickstarted considering how much money it would need. Sony is backing this? Someone must be.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I've completely ignored Kickstarter to date.

I'm in for $60 on this. Maybe more.

PC too? Today is fantastic.
