What has Shenmuedojo said? They are the go-to with this campaign.
Man, I can't believe we're getting all these stretch goals.
To all 100USD backers. Would you consider upgrade your pledge near the end of campaign? If that so, to which tier and why?
I'm thinking upgrade to 160 because t-shirt but 175 tier with the artbook seems like a great deal.
Or maybe, pledge 150 and only get the physical ps4 game
I'm one of them. 100 day one but I was going to toss in the 75 difference in the final rush. Did do 30onthe3rd so the step up is less now though.

I've mentioned it but it hasn't caught on. We need someone from ShenmueDojo to make it more known and get them to make banners.
If they allow us to continue pledging after the kick-starter that won't be a problem. And if we don't make that much money I guess it will be like Guilin in Shenmue II. I mean think about it, Guilin wasn't very expanded compared to Hong Kong and Kowloon. It was more story focused. So yeah, I think we're good.
Exactly. Dobuita is a highly dense and detailed, wheras harbor and Sakuragaoka are a little lighter on content, but serve their purpose fine.
I think that's exactly what we'll be getting here, likely vital NPCs and quests will be moved to Baisha if the other areas don't get much in the way of stretch goals.

I think that something close to 6m is quite possible but everything over 5m will still be great.
Hopefully after the Kickstater ends successfully Yu Suzuki wil be able to find extra fundings up to 10m through other ways (continued donations through PayPal and/or traditional financial backing from publisher/partners like Sony).

$6m seems like a lock. But the real test would be $8m+ , what other Goals/Pledge tiers could give us that huge bump?
I think if Sega announced a Shenmue 1 and 2 HD for release next year it could give a decent bump. Heck hopefully they could throw some of the profits towards Shenmue 3. It seems quite ridiculous that companies are going to ignore the most funded video game kickstarter.

Agreed. Then the only left to do is to go all out from now till the end.
Come on, SEGA and Yu Suzuki. Make it happen. Announce it as a stretch goal between $5 and $6 million along with Virtua Fighter 3, Virtua Cop, and any other AM2 game.
If they announced Shenmue 1 and 2 HD I think Shenmue 3 would hit all of its goals.

613 or 913 new backers?
The stats are a little weird today. They added 64 slots to the "I am Shenmue 3" tier and sold 49 of them today. That would be $73500 right there. It doesn't seem right that we only made $10232 from other pledges. Maybe it's because we lost $24k from people backing out of high tiers earlier in the day.

What are the chances of this accepting donations through PayPal after the campaign is over? Star citizen only got 2 million in its kickstarter run but then went on to get 70 million through PayPal, I bet this could get to 10
I feel like it's probably pretty high.
We had some other things answered with the good old 'we are looking into it' line, that were announced shortly after (namely, returning voice actors and PS4 physical). I wouldn't be surprised if continued donations via Paypal get worked out. I also mostly expect Shenmue I and II ports to happen as well, eventually.
If they do open up Paypal donations, I don't really know what to expect from that.
Agreed. Then the only left to do is to go all out from now till the end.
If only. We can dream...
Gooooood
Now tell us the timestamp so we can listen to your shilling
If they announced Shenmue 1 + 2 HD I'd bump my funding up to $100 from $60
assuming I get 1+2 HD of course

It's 1987, we need some Street Fighter I up in here.
Hey, the license is probably cheap enough.

Missed your post. Thanks for doing this! I bet you got a surge of listeners with the announcement of S3. Gotta watch the series this December.
You're awesome.

In 1987, Wonder Boy in Monster Land came out. I would love for that to be in there. In reality, since this is only tangentially Sega related, I feel like we're more to have a quickly designed new arcade title than anything.
I would prefer this above all else. Yu Suzuki hasn't been in the spotlight for 14 years. It would be awesome for him to use this opportunity to make a retro super scalar game. I would play the shit out of a brand new outrun or space harrier or afterburner based game from Yu Suzuki.
I dunno how this all works but it seems to me it'd be better if they just made the game with the budget they had rather then possibly stalling development waiting for more funds ta slowly trickle in?
Yakuza has gotten some original arcade games so ya this'd be a neat idea for Shenmue to borrow as long as we get some of the real deal games to!
It would blow my mind if some NPC randomly put some money in the machine and challenges you to the game. I'll freak out for that is close to an virtual arcade experience you can get.
This game badly need to be on there with 8 players online play and AI play together with virtual NPCs coming to play against you. If they put that together with random Timed Events that takes place in the arcades (learn from mobile gaming) which will give you the opportunity to earn new prices, open new opportunities in the game, and engage and watch the performance of other players from around the world via their virtual within a virtual Network system (think of VF TV). In short, turn it into the virtual version of Club SEGA here in Japan complete with a manager and staff members that always engages with you, just like in Club SEGA. If they do that then it has the opportunity to one of the most compelling feature to ever exist in a video game. They don't need the $10 million budget to make it happen either:
Yes, I'd love to see him design a new min-game in the style of his classic arcade games. That'd be a real treat.

Star Citizen Paypal backers received something in return? Some kind of membership with early access to new content if they suscribed a monthly payment or something?
Now I want this (edit: and model 1 games!)
Just watched IGN's video on Shenmue 3 being the 10 most funded kickstarter campaign. Ryan ended the video with "For much more on Shenmue 3, and there is going to be plenty more, keep it tuned right here to IGN."
Wonder if there is a chance they do some kind of Shenmue blowout coverage leading up to the end of the Kickstarter campaign.
I think they would start development once they got the initial KS funds and just use any PayPal money for further development. I think they would reach $11 million easily with a PayPal option added.

Without a doubt. I know people personally who would give monthly or quarterly to the game's development. Hell, I know I would.

The last time I played Shenmue 2, I didn't practice much and I feel it made things more difficult for me once I ended up in Kowloon. This time, since I started the game in early January and am trying to wait until later in February to meet Xiuying I'm practicing every day with Jianmin. I truly feel Gon.
This points to one of the not-so-awesome things about Awesome Japan. I wish they were out there encouraging fans to do this sort of thing.

Agreed! Fan art challenges would be a great thing to do. Take advantage of the creativity of Shenmue fans.

Would it make sense in Shenmue, which "happens" in 1986, to have arcade games in it that came out much later?
Ryo gets a Sega Saturn in Shenmue 1.

Not to mention all the random Sega character capsule toys and Virtua Fighter posters.
Well Ryo has a Sega Saturn sooo...

Same, soon as they announced it on stage at E3 I was rushing to the website to sign up and pledge $100.
