it's jumped up over 20k actuallyGod. What an embarrassment. Instead of attracting more backers I wouldn't be surprised if people started retracting. Ouch.
Wow so it's over. Hard to put my thoughts into words right now. A train wreck in many ways from a visual, audio and pure presentation point of view.
Redshirt really was the centre of attention. However he did ask the pertinent questions fans/community has been asking for and we got updates on some of those major questions.
However I really got to wonder about Awesome Japan and frankly unless this guy turns into a meme/goes vital it's not going to help the KS campaign much
Thank you.ok what i got from this
- They are seriously thinking about getting us a physical PS4 release and tell us just to be patient.
- Paypal is being considered, will probably be implemented later
- You get to take on the 4 Chiyoumen bosses
- Skill Tree System is for building up martial arts abilities (linked to scrolls).
- Character Perspective System lets you play as Shenhua and Ren in Baisha.
- Shenmue 3 wont finish the story, which i'm actually happy with, i dont want Yu to rush this even if we are put on a cliffhanger for another 14 years,really hoping Shenmue 3 is successfull
is there any other stuff i'm missing
I've cancelled my pledge. I'm sorry but this stream was suppose to instill trust and confidence to those who already pledged or newcomers, and I leave from this event feeling the exact opposite.
I disagree frankly. If THAT guy is their representative, if he's on the team arranging much of the KS details and announcements etc, it's a fucking calamity. I just thought he was some kind of uber fan been asked on to do this, not intricately involved with the KS campaign. They need Sony to come in, take control, and boss the motherfucker to $10 million (or just bloody fund the remaining few million required to make it so, can't be so hard!).
Well, on the plus side, it jumped close to $20,000 just during the hour the stream was on. That's something at least.
Now we just have to hope that the guy on the right goes viral and brings a lot of attention to the Kickstarter in the next couple of days.

It's true.
Marketing services like Kickstarter support services (PR, communication with backers, application, language, the whole package basically), media coverage support, localisation and market research.
Is the guy on the right Cedric?
Maybe whatever Awesome Japan does works well in Japan, but this stream was just poor. Who knows, perhaps they're working for peanuts. The next one needs to be better though
I thought you guys were being whiny impatient gamers when you were unsatisfied with how the KS is being managed. But HOLY SHIT! Yeah. I'm not very happy with where I put my money right now.
Cedric? Who's Cedric? Is he your boyfriend?
Huh? Why be upset about donating, Yu knows how to make shenmue.I thought you guys were being whiny impatient gamers when you were unsatisfied with how the KS is being managed. But HOLY SHIT! Yeah. I'm not very happy with where I put my money right now.
This is very helpful. If there was any additional info disclosed, can it be added to the OP?ok what i got from this

Just be happy (and hope) that very little of your money will be going to these guys - it's going to Yu and Ys Net who will make a great game I am sure
:|
"Cedric Biscay" is the person they said was in charge of the campaign, I thought.

That's kinda harsh, I mean as soon as the KS is over Crappy Japan is out of the picture and Ys Net will get the job done no matter what, that we can be sure of.
The guy in middle was fine.
If Cedric is the guy on the right, then I'm sorry, but your money has all been smoken for.

Don't they have a hand in back goods fulfillment?
:lolIf Cedric is the guy on the right, then I'm sorry, but your money has all been smoken for.
It's too late for that, the entire campaign has been poisoned, there's no changing anybodies mind about the game now. :_:I hope Yu Suzuki drops them and go with someone else.
It's normally handled by the marketing agencies, yeah.
