Its actually a good discussion in my opinion. He makes allot of great points, I feel like some are unfairly harsh on Shahid alloy of the time, but you cant argue the guys passion.

Id recommend watching the whole thing if you have the time.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Nice.

Edit:

It confirms a $3.5 million stretch goal for Mighty No. 9 to appear on PSVita/3DS.

Ah.

 

[ethomaz]

Good.

[Miker]

It confirms a $3.5 million stretch goal for Mighty No. 9 to appear on PSVita/3DS.

Shahid confirmed to be backing $900,000 for the project.

 

[IAmRandom31]

So both big kickstarter japan projects ( Project Pheonix, Mighty No. 9 ) coming to Vita.

Yum

Good work Sony, Third Party Productions. Oh iz gon be gud

 

[Bundy]

Shahid Kamal Ahmad is awesome.

I feel that even if it didn't reach that stretch goal in 4 days, shahid team will fund the port for vita regardless.

 

[tusken77]

Shut up and take my money!

 

[Dead Prince]

I feel that even if it didn't reach that stretch goal in 4 days, shahid team will fund the port for vita regardless.

he'll just work on the port himself just to save money.

 

[frankie_baby]

is this the deal he was talking about?

 

[Himynameischris]

Shahid confirmed to be backing $900,000 for the project.

Wow that's awesome,

 

[-MB-]

I feel that even if it didn't reach that stretch goal in 4 days, shahid team will fund the port for vita regardless.

why would he fund 900k needed if that means 3ds version as well.
Don't think Sony is in the market for helping competing versions getting funded.

 

[Skilletor]

Seems weird that the Vita/3DS stretch goals would be more money than ps4/xb1.

 

[Sidewinder]

Shahid confirmed to be backing $900,000 for the project.

Well done Sir, will buy on the Vita.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I think the funding would not be made as a contribution to the kickstarter, but to the company to have it ported to the vita. I believe the PS Blog post already states the Dev that would handle the task.

Because DAT OLED xDDD

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Will watch later.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Shut up and take my money!

/dead Shahid just became a legend by this gif

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/09/27/introducing-mighty-no-9/
mentions PS4 and Vita stretch goals... still I'm guessing even if it didn't reach it Sony might fund it anyway

 

[Afrit]

LoL

That's not what I meant. I mean they will pay Abstraction Games -the team behind the PlayStation platform versions of Hotline Miami- to do the port outside of the kickstarter deal.

 

[nib95]

Shut up and take my money!

Did he really do a real life shut up and take my money? Legendary status.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Shahid confirmed to be backing $900,000 for the project.

That's goddamn amazing. Awesome news.

why would he fund 900k needed if that means 3ds version as well.

I don't think he's funding the actual Kickstarter campaign. Rather it's a direct donation from Sony to make a Vita version.

Edit: Well, others said it best.

 

[Canis lupus]

Shahid confirmed to be backing $900,000 for the project.

Are they really backing ~1/3rd of the project and not asking for some kind of exclusivity?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Someone add the Banderos gif (think that's how you spell it) in to the background of this to really mess up our heads!

 

[StoopKid]

Shut up and take my money!

lol i love shahid

 

[$h@d0w]

He just announced the stretch goal I believe.

 

[Oni Jazar]

I think the 900k funding is a joke guys.

 

[Maedhros]

Why would they be asking for exclusivity? It's already for every platform out there, no way Comcept would accept a exclusivity deal.

 

[dragonflys545]

Shut up and take my money!

HOLY SHIT!!! Saved!!!!

 

[googleplex]

Holy shit Lmao!

 

[Spiegel]

He did.

Not megatonish (as he says in the video) considering it will hardly make the stretch goal.

 

[crazygambit]

At work and can't watch the video. I need some context for the throwing money gif please.

 

[Oshimai]

Shut up and take my money!

How is it that it is only my first time seeing this!?

Hahaha what a great gif.

 

[dragonflys545]

They threw 900k into the project.

 

[ibun]

I don't think they will reach their goal. They hardly got any backers in the last 3-4 days. Showing a new goal is just "well i guess we need more money, lets bait them" the last bit could be backed of anyone of the big 3. they all could back it with 500 000$ which still would be less, then what the pay as a years end bonus to their head honchos.

 

[Devilgunman]

Shut up and take my money!

Gotta throw more than that for $900k

 

[ethomaz]

I need the right time in the video to that gif... amazing.

 

[Skilletor]

Wait. Did they throw 900k into the project or is this a joke?

 

[ethomaz]

They cut the throw money part from the video?

 

[Graphics Horse]

They cut the throw money part from the video?

That's in the Q&A at the end talking about Resogun.

 

[androvsky]

Wait. Did they throw 900k into the project or is this a joke?

It sounds like a joke based on how the Kickstarter isn't moving, but I can't watch the video now. Someone else mentioned Sony offered to have an outside studio work on the Vita port, but this thread is getting to the point where it's tough to know what's going on.

 

[Raist]

It's a 900k bank note.

 

[todd360]

I'm so confused. but happy

The outside studio angle makes more sense since if they put the 900K into the kickstarter they would be helping fund the 3DS port as well.

 

[KillerTravis]

Was this the long requested Vita game Shahid was talking about? Lol, it may not even reach the next gen goal.

 

[androvsky]

Not to mention the Xbox One port as well, iirc.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

So Renegade Kid is probably handling the 3DS version.

Abstraction Games (Hotline 1 & 2 ports to PS) will be the ones handling the port to the Vita, sooooo I don't know why it needs a stretch goal to be honest. Pretty sure it is coming to Playstation 4 and Vita regardless because of Abstraction's involvement.

Also I really enjoyed the talk. Shahid is a passionate guy and Sony is lucky to have him, and smart to give him as much leash as he does. Making deals on the top deck of a bus, over Skype, and at booth at a convention, guy is putting in work.
