If this is what it takes to get Shenmue 3 made, so be it; I'd rather live in a world where Shenmue 3 has a chance of being released than it being a dead project. But by not mentioning these details at all while asking fans for literally millions of dollars for a project with so much secrecy in terms of budget and funding? The whole thing begins to look a bit shaky.
I won't be able to enjoy the game until I know how much money Sony is giving them.
They don't need to be transparent about budgets. They only owe answers to shareholders, not customers.
I think I need a pie chart.
I love how all of Polygon, Kuchera especially, is publically completely against gamergaters, but continue to relentlessly publish the kind of tinfoil-hat concern-trolling "OPINIONL Hey GAMERS, You're getting SCREWED and you don't even know it! Please be upset." garbage that audience loves so much. Talk about cynical.
Polygon was a mistake, nothing but trash.
Yep. They only owe people what they've promised. That means the game and the rewards, that's it.
wait wut
That may well be a mystery to developers as well. While there are exceptions that stick closely to initial plans - larger projects change scope(and direction) far more often than is generally known.border said:The problem is more that the scope of the entire game is a mystery.
All of them. If developers are unwilling to break down their budget for me in the form of a pie chart I'm afraid I'll have to pass.So we should be concerned about knowing what the budget for all games are when they are announced? Or just this one?
Polygon's got an agenda, that's all I get out of this.
Can we ban Polygon threads? That would be great. I hate giving their click bait articles clicks.
