[DeepEnigma]

N it doesnt because the poster blatantly draws a line between "hardcore shenmue fans" to "playstation 4" owners. The two can be mutually exclusive

Yeah, considering most are not running out to buy a XBox for all those Far East games.

Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Kickstarter (I'm an expert), but transparency and honesty are huge parts of it. It's not like it was with Bloodborne where you can become successful by help funding and publishing it. If you help fund a game in Kickstarter, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the fans, after hearing about this, is not going to want to back Shenmue at all, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games they help fund in the future. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.

Sony, remove all your funding or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Foot? Hmm, ok, never understood that expression, but lets look at the rest of your ridiculous post.

Hmm, you're a Kickstarter expert? You're the owner then? You know how Kickstarter should operate? Maybe gives us some of your credentials then or maybe you'll stay silent because you're talking out of your... well, you know what Oh, now we're gonna turn Bloodborne being made into a bad thing. Evil SONY LET?S ALL SHOUT GUYS. Hmm, I was gonna check your post history but its probably all xbox related no offense. LOL, shame? Repentance? Now you're just trolling...

OK, I will laugh, because your post is getting insane now. Nobody will buy Shenmue? Heh, I guess 2 million+ dollars in pledges just appeared out of thin air? LOL, you were right with your "laugh all you want" comment. But it is US who are laughing at YOU.

Sony will lose its business? IDK if you saw or overslept the last 2 days, but Sony won the E3 it was the best E3 ever, by a consensus. Sony wont lose it's business. But you should stop buying their games nevertheless. Becauise Sony doesnt ned a customre lik you.

This Thread represents modern Fanboyism and Gaming in a nutshell and it is disgusting to see and it makes me sad.

Y's and Sony give you a opportunity to have a Game "Fans" always wanted and people are bitching that Sony wants prove that it can get to a break even point.

People have to realize that this game is not for the main stream audience or gamers. The Kickstarter is just and only for the Fucking Hardcore Shenmue fans, so they can get a game out, that is most likely a financial disaster or not a game publisher want to fund. And it seems likeFans do not give a shit how this games is done. On average people are paying more than 80$ to get this idea of a game, which is insane.
40.000 Backers for such ,most likely, expensive game is not very much tbh, but it shows that some hardcore people really want that game and really go all in for this.

And now people blame sony to want some kind of security, that they do not lose a shit ton of money ? Ask yourself a question. Why did Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Acti, Ea or any other publisher try to get the game or try to fund it or even try help Y's? Because they know, that today this game is so niche and so exotic, that it will not be a main stream success and most likely a very high financial risk, that nobody wanted to take or even consider in 14 years. Sony is willing to take this risk, but wanted proof that people do not only demand that game on Twitter, but also that they are ready to back it up financially and take a little bit of Sony's risk. How is this bad ?

People are getting this game cheaper, when they back it up with 30§, but most people just went crazy backing it up. But as I said it is only the most hardcore niche fans and not the main stream.

Sony gets blaimed for not taking a financial enormous risk and not giving a Niche game to all of you without some kind of security. The most people, who back Shenmue III do not give a shit about how, they are in heaven, that Sony even considers the idea of Shenmue III and they where kind enough to give this exotic game this grand stage.

Thank you for this post.

 

[Wavebossa]

Seen multiple posters call it "Neir" today, wtf.

Yeah Hype is very contagious. People getting hype just because everyone else is. Kickstarter was needed to separate the hype mob from the serious backers.

Hell I've never even played a Shenmue game, but I'm very interested in it coming out for PC, interested enough to back it.

 

[wingwah]

Sony is really killing it lately.
You can tell they're run by real gamers instead of out of touch, empty suits.

I can't imagine any other company taking on a project like this. Bravo, Sony.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Yeah, considering most are not running out to buy a XBox for all those Far East games.

People in the Far East aren't even buying those Far East games! There is no correlation, ha ha

 

[harSon]

This is word for word how Andrew House announced Shenmue III to the world: "Now recently a developer told us they were bringing back a fan favorite Kickstarter to PC & PS4. Now this is very much their project, but we wanted to celebrate their announcement on our stage..." proceeded by showing the Kickstarter video which mentions nothing about outsider funding of any sort.

I'm sorry, but having to read between the lines is not transparency.

[Averon]

Can someone tell how the backers are getting scammed?

They are giving their money freely so they can get a copy of the game for half price ($29)

Backers can, of their own free will, donate more money for additional goodies.

Perfect.
People will complain for the sake of it. If Sony came out and did this to an old franchise I loved next year? Id be all over it. Without this option, Shenmue 3 would likely not be happening. And now we have confirmation Sony are funding it too, we still have moaning? Jeez.

 

[Whipped Spartan]

I honestly am happy that Shenmue 3 just exists but all they had to do is be upfront with fans. Something like we love Shenmue and say if this game gets kickstarted we'll match every dollar over 2 million.

 

[Audioboxer]

By tomorrow I expect this to drop to 1.5 million with all the people who are backing out.

[Yoda]

Hi everyone

The 70 million figure was for games 1 + 2 + marketing (for both) + building the engine + the scrapped Saturn build + the run around China figuring out the story to a painstaking detail trips. Super sized game development was also NON-EXISTENT in the 90s (this game was developed when we had Billy in the White House) and that massively added to the total expenditure. They DO NOT NEED ANYWHERE NEAR 70 million to finish the series, let alone one installment.

I'm glad that the guys on Shenmuedojo are incredibly happy that Sony is helping, their funding means a bigger, better game.

https://youtu.be/FRGlVDi3FHQ?t=1m40s

Sounds sort of like they used Kickstarter as a mini consensus, to see if there really was that much demand for it, with the side benefit of aid in development funding. I suppose you do have to be careful sometimes, ensuring there is real financially backed demand, not just empty forum fodder and fan talk.

I dont understand.

The kickstarter says "Shenmue III for PS4 and PC"

I really gotta figure out a way to play Shenmue I and II. I played a bit of....I I think. At a cousins house as a kid. I didn't get it.

 

[Confounding Factor]

I cannot understand how anybody could possibly be upset by this. This seems like the most democratic method of deciding whether or not a game should exist ever. We literally voted with our wallet.

This is amazing. This is the way funding for game development should go IMO.

People are forgetting: All of this was voluntary.

I'll let your immediate ideological positions speak for themselves.

I guess Sony is right that you deserve to be taken advantage of.

Who is being taken advantage of?

 

[TalonJH]

I don't quite get why people get upset over it. If you backed it for $29 you get a copy of the game when it comes out. It's not like you aren't getting anything from backing it. You are basically preordering the game at a discount. If you pay more you get more.

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

Whats the problem with kickstarter? Is sony suppose to pay for pc port of this game out of the kindness of their heart? Like fucking really stop sipping the fucking gamer fuel mountain dew sells you and think for a second. Would you rather they say fuck pc ps4 only? To me this kickstarter is providing things for die hard who have been wanting this for fucking aeons and have two platforms to play this on when it hits. Much fuckin better than none right......right?

 

[Jomjom]

Mad is too strong of a word, I'm not mad at anyone, and this is not about people either, people can do whatever they want, I don't care. It's not about the backers, it's about Sony taking advantge of the backers' money to get themselves a console exclusive. Want me to explain it again?

*sigh*

Haha, yeah I saw that mistake when following another news link but didn't see it on that particular link. It's the same AP article that's being circulated though... and technically it's not entirely untrue given that Sony is now known to be funding.

Why did Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Acti, Ea or any other publisher try to get the game or try to fund it or even try help Y's?

Evil SONY LET?S ALL SHOUT GUYS. Hmm, I was gonna check your post history but its probably all xbox related no offense. LOL, shame? Repentance? Now you're just trolling...

OK, I will laugh, because your post is getting insane now. Nobody will buy Shenmue? Heh, I guess 2 million+ dollars in pledges just appeared out of thin air? LOL, you were right with your "laugh all you want" comment. But it is US who are laughing at YOU.

Sony will lose its business? IDK if you saw or overslept the last 2 days, but Sony won the E3 it was the best E3 ever, by a consensus. Sony wont lose it's business. But you should stop buying their games nevertheless. Becauise Sony doesnt ned a customre lik you.
