This one felt a little off from the get go, and this is only cementing the fact that I won't be funding this.

Console port stretch goal before a finished game with all chapters?
Why is finishing the game a stretch goal to begin with?

That's their own fault for making the spiritual sequal to a game that was never on PC, exclusively for PC. They needed to include at least one console like Shenmue did. That's why I sat out.

I feel like the game is being ransomed off on kickstarter now.

It works the other way too, you know?.
M9 got good impressions from E3, imagine if the reviews are favorable and gamers are happy with the game, that will translate on Comcept getting a lot of goodwill/support and Red Ash probably will be funded in 2 days like any other high profile KS.

While I think that is part of the problem too, I would say the main problem is that the KS itself doesnt really offer any insigt into the project. Some artworks and thats it. Not even some prototype, some shots on how the game should look like or anything else. Besides that the first stretch goal says something about episodes 1-3.
Why should I back it, when I wont get a "full" game.
And the PR "yeah. but its a full game! dont worry" is just PR talk...

That's an open invite to every console warrior to join their Kickstarter campaign.

I backed out from this a few days before this update, this just solidifies my action of backing out...
I really do wanna play this game as a big Legends fan but there comes a point when you gotta say no to silly choices like this...
I'm really disappointed by this, really wish this came before MN9 cause I bet we'd have better options compared to this coming out now...

Funny part is Inafune actually never made a single game. he was character designer and producer of selected games, but never spearheaded game as a director.

This sounds like an absolutely terrible idea

I heard colonial marine did well at E3. Until the game is out could be good or bad, right now there is no negative, it's favorable to them with no drawbacks.

I've said this before, but Inafune's antics give me more entertainment than any game he might come to direct.
Wow. Well, this makes the picture a little clearer. And it also makes Kamiya's infamous "businessman" comment a little more relevant.
Plus they are still developing that other Kickstarter game and Inafune is also working on a AAA game for Microsoft. What a mess.
You're being really disingenuous if you're suggesting producers have no creative input or influence on a game project.
Mighty No. 9 is done (developed by Inticreates) and Armature is developing Recore.
Okay now the Inafune hate is getting silly. Never made a single game? A video game producer contributes a lot to the development.
A Producer and even Character Designers have massive input in the creation of games. He's absolutely been in the trenches of game development.
What an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

Fuck off with that. Tell me if its coming to the console I own so I can back it up. What a fucking stupid move.
Oh my god.

I'm actually really upset with Inafune right now for fucking this KS up so bad, because I want this project to be made almost as much as I want Yooka-Laylee. This one is on him, and that sucks.
I'm with you. They're really dropping the ball and that just sucks. I'd absolutely love to see this game get made but he's making it hard to want to support it.
Unrelated to this, I started playing Rockman Dash again this week. I haven't played it in almost 16 years but, wow, I'm having an absolute blast. It's dated in many ways but I can't stop playing. It's weirdly engaging and quite personable. It's simply reminded me how much I'd like a new installment.

It really depends on the producer himself. Some contribute more than others. I'm sure Inafune has had some ideas put in games, but that's far from game design.

Not backing it. I had enough with Mighty N°9. Too few details, not even a target render or something.

As badly as I've wanted ML3 to actually happen over the years ...I'm not touching this kickstarter. If it gets funded, and a game actually gets made in a couple years, and it's on the console I actually own (seriously?) then I'll get excited about it.
This is just a mess.
This is just a mess.
Okay, what about all the games where he was a planner? Seriously, the revisionist horseshit that's inevitably applied to every dev that falls out of fashion is just pathetic.
He knows exactly what he is playing at. If he listed the target console he loses out on the other user bases. He wants funding from all platform users without committing to a single platform. The new age of snake oil.

Wait...After the kickstarter?! LMAO
To be fair Kamiya never said he was a good one.

Revisionist horseshit is calling Inafune "legendary game designer". No, I don't know what he did as planner, but people sure like to upplay his influence in the games themselves. Maybe you could list which games he was planner and what he did in them? I only know of Megaman 4.
Sounds about time for Inafune to give another "Japan is doomed" conference talk to scrounge up some cash!
I understand there's uncertainty at this stage but a) that implies they weren't already planning to do a port (is that realistic?) and b) I don't see how I could back without knowing I could play the game on something I owned. Now, I own all the machines because I am fabulous but if I didn't, why would I back this?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Now people get ringside seats to the fact it was Inafune that mainly helped to drag Capcom down into the depths its still stuck in.
Burning through all that Kickstarter good will in less than two years is quite the achievement.
And if any of the console holders want to chime in with cash at the last hurdle too of course! Thats not hair-gel, he naturally secretes the oil himself!

Judging by the posts in his thread you're wrong. Few are willing to back it if there's a chance that they'll never play it.
I'd didn't mean he was selling a lot of snake oil, just that he knows he is selling snake oil.
