I'm not a fan of Shenmue. I've just played a bit the first one.

But I am amazed of you, Shenmue fans, and I waited for the final push just to make my little contribution. Thank you guys for this amazing ride.
 
Since everyone's making predictions, what the hell, I guess I will too. $6.66M

nah u alright in my book. Whats nice is the trolls seemed to be scared of this thread...everytime they come to spew their venom...it gets hammered...and goes away quick.... kinda rare ....i like it!



but what d u mean setup threads( im kinda dense)

The ones Tabris sets up at the beginning of the year.

2015 edition. In fact, those are what finally made me sign up.
 
Omg 6 mil is so close!!! This whole thing has been one big emotional rollercoaster, I'm glad we could all do this together fellow Shenmue lovers, and especially all of those who backed without ever even playing a Shenmue game before. You da real MVP's.

Whilst I'm really not a fan of kickstarter, and by the time Shenmue had came out I had already moved on to PC so have never played the original DC games, I've been following this kickstarter intently. Despite my misforgivings about Kickstarter in general, surely this is what kickstarter should be for? Anyway, just pledged towards $60 physical PS4 tier even though I don't have a PS4, have never played Shenmue, and have never Kickstarted before. I'm guessing that I will have a PS4 by 2017, and will have played 1&2 on Dreamcast by then (it's not a deal breaker if HD versions don't come out). Anyway, as a huge Yakuza fan I think that I can relate somewhat to Shenmue fans in some small way. Really glad for you all to see your dream become reality!
 
We did it. It only took years and years of never shutting up about shenmue at every possible opportunity. Even in threads where it had nothing to do with anything.

Oh and millions of dollars.

Tempted to up mine to $80 but is that reward worth anything to someone who never really played the first 2 games?

I am beyond bummed out right now. Life has reared its ugly side and I've had to pull my pledge due to needing the money for some one else. Sorry people, I was beyond happy (on the verge of tears) when this was announced and now I cant be a part of this awesome event. Just my luck for it to happen on today of all days.

I promise when this game is released I will buy multiple copies to show my support. Shame I wont get those exclusive phone calls though lol.
 
It kind of feels like they expected a lot more from this kickstarter, tbh. I really wish that they wouldn't have thrown out all(?) of their stretch goals at once.

Try optimising them so they can be used on Twitter. I have a few hundred followers still I haven't gotten to pledge I'm sure!

so lets pretend it ends around 6.2ish, what lost feature are you going to be most disappointed by?

High ground battle system will be mine.

Same here, AI battling could be cool depending on what is but I've been waiting on a fighter to build on what VF3 did for years. DoA is a little over the top so it doesn't quite work for me and the environmental stuff from netherrealms really isn't all that vital to the actual combat.I have every faith that Suzuki could done something amazing with it since it would fit Shenmue perfectly.

No problem man, the game is getting made no matter what :) No point spending money you can't afford to spend

Spamming threads like...

What's your favorite game

What's your dream game

What game made you feel like the character

What game would you fund if you were rich

What game do you want back from the dead

Good job to the

I really had my doubts this KS was going to do any significant numbers after the initial hype and the way this campaign has been so horribly managed, but Shenmue fans have really rallied together and showed that all their begging wasn't just them blowing hot air. CONGRATS, SHENMUE FAITHFUL.

I'm not a Shenmue fan, but don't feel bad about that. I don't think anybody expects or wants people to spend money that they can't currently afford on something as trivial as a video game. The people who do have money to burn on something like this will make up for the people who can't afford it now, maybe in the future you'll be one of the better ones off who makes up for the people who need to spend their pennies on more important things at the time.

I waited for PayPal but I guess it's not happening...
Asked my buddy but his CC is not getting accepted, don't know why.

So I guess no physical copy for me. :(
