Can.. Can I pay money to stop this from happening
Those perks are pretty hilarious/impressive though. Some real unique stuff there. 30 dollars retail though? And DLC?!

 

[Salsa]

this is getting kinda ridiculous with the remakes and sequels to bad games

but I guess it's ok

 

[kazebyaka]

[EraldoCoil]

I was given shaq fu as a birthday gift when I was younger...

When Did the whole ShaqFu thing go from a horrible game to a "so horrible it's good" game? It's a bad joke...

 

[Haunted]

[Stone Ocean]

Lol, was expecting a 1v1 fighting game.

That looks interesting enough I guess. But IGG is ehhhh

 

[Sectorseven]

Why doesn't Shaq just fund the whole thing and cut out all the middle men? That's gotta be chump change for him.

Answered in the post

He is the best center ever to play the game. Of course he's got money, and yes he will be investing a lot of his own time and money in this project. We will be investing considerably more of our own money in the game than we are asking for.
The purpose of bringing the game to the public is to see how much interest there is in becoming Shaq’s partner and in seeing the game happen. In exchange for your help, Shaq, is offering unprecedented access to his life with incredible perks. Here are some highlights:

Bag a signed original size 22 Shaq Attack sneaker!

Play basketball with Shaq, on his own court, at his house!

Have Shaq, become your personal secretary by recording your voicemail!

Have lunch or dinner with the big man for you and your friends!

Be part of the taping of a TNT show at an NBA game!

This isn’t about a celebrity giving away a trinkets for cash, this is a true partnership. We think it is unprecedented. Shaq is ready and willing to work for your support and you can bet that he’ll be grateful for every cent and every plug he gets. He loves his fans and to be able to collaborate with them on something like this has him (and us!) really excited.

We’re not asking for any more than we need. We are all about appreciation for the fact that you’re putting your hard earned cash on the table so that we can make this a reality and we hold that at the core of this campaign. Shaq and the rest of us at Big Deez want partners who share our passion for excellent games. If you really want to help us make something unforgettable - in the good way this time - then help us go even further and reach our stretch goals.

Upon decree of the Big Diesel: 5% of all profits from the game go to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America!

honestly the only way i'd buy this is if the last boss is Aaron Carter.


im not even kidding, I bet he'd do it on a heartbeat. I mean what else does he have going right now?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Awww yissss! Time to relive childhood frustrations. All I need now is a Sonic game with that stupid fucking up and down thing from Sonic 3's carnival level.

 

[Enduin]

Dat camel toe.

The preferred term is Shaq-toe.

Also he kind of looks like a Black Tingle.

 

[Silky]

Shaq Fu is what the original game should have been – an instant classic. We're talking Streets of Rage meets Street Fighter meets Devil May Cry.

oh my god

 

[Valkrai]

honestly the only way i'd buy this is if the last boss is Aaron Carter.

I think the final boss to the game would be for him to make a shot in.

 

[_hekk05]

Dat camel toe.

why

Holy Shit. I bet that ends up being DLC if nothing else. And I would buy the shit out of it

On topic: Come on Shaq, you can't cough up the 450K? edit: Reading fail...

 

[mackattk]

Man. that $1000 for Shaq to follow you on twitter for a year is a STEAL.

I honestly don't see this generating 450k of funding.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

Oh shit.. So this was actually real?

[Tensketch]

Shaq for the USF4 character reveal. Get on it, Capcom.

Seriously though, this is great news.

 

[TimmiT]

Those stretch goals are ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that doing concept art for the game isn't something you should pay for.

[NotLiquid]

I've never bothered much with crowdfunding but if this doesn't get funded I'm convinced that the crowdfunding doesn't deserve to exist.

 

[Aquamarine]

Shaquille O'Neal Net worth:

$250 Million


Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Needs $450,000 in crowd funding



Come on now.

 

[Takamura-San]

Repost from the other thread.

The fact that it is a brawler killed my hyped so quickly.

 

[SJRB]

I've never bothered much with crowdfunding but if this doesn't get funded I'm convinced that the crowdfunding doesn't deserve to exist.

It's kind of hard to take this crowdfunding initiative seriously when there's a millionaire involved who can probaly whip up 400k from his backpocket at any moment.

 

[Takamura-San]

With Indiegogo they get the partial funds right? It doesn't have to be fully funded?

Shaquille O'Neil Net Worth: $250,000,000

Needs $450,000

Oh the irony.

 

[Chindogg]

Can I get some Rick Mahorn DLC? Or maybe Bill Laimbeer?

 

[ScOULaris]

Well I certainly never saw this coming. Consider me intrigued.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Why doesn't Shaq just fund the whole thing and cut out all the middle men? That's gotta be chump change for him.

That's what I'm wondering. Especially with him this close to the project...
