I can't for the life of me understand why there still isn't a physical ps4 game option.
Okay so is Sony helping with total funds or not?
I strongly believe because Sony will have it handled.... but they will handle it depending on how successful the kickstarter is. If it is very successful (may need to go beyond $6 million) then you'll get a physical disc, but if it ends at $4 million then you get a digital copy only. That's the most feasible reason.
And the potential of the money they could make out of PS4 copies after the fact.If Sony is the reason for the lack of physical PS4 copies, they're hurting the potential of this kickstarter.
Why Shenmue Is The Best Open World Game I Ever Played
This is a great video explaining why Shenmue is so great. Everyone here needs to spread it all over social media. We need fresh blood to contribute to the kick-starter. GO MY PRETTIES! PUUUUSH!
Well it sucks that Kickstarters only last for one month. If someone told me years, or months ago that Shenmue 3 would one day be kickstarted I would have put money on the side each month and gone for one of the high end pledges. As of now I can only afford the 160$ tier with a clean concience... -_-
Anyway, if it does not reach the ~10 million that Yu Suzuki hopes for, what are the chances that there will be another Shenmue 3 kickstarter? Is making two Kickstarters for one project even allowed in theory? I would love to donate for the game again sometime in the future.
Done.
Also it's not even close to being the most successfully crowd funded game of all time, Star Citizen is at over $80 million dollars funded.
Just updated the stats:

"Only" 2.134.374 $ were done through Kickstarter.
The rest was done through other channels and stuff like selling space ships etc.
Bringing $29 to the game. Third game I back via Kickstarter after Broken Age and Massive Chalice.
FUUUUUU, this kinda makes me sad in a way. We're not getting 10 million, and now that I know what I'm probably going to miss out on it makes me saaaad.
On the bright side, maybe when/if they let us use PayPal after the kick-starter we might eventually make it to 10 million and beyond.
Wohoo! Thanks for joining the cause
Also is anyone planning of making a thread about the Twitch stream plus new goals?
It was mentioned earlier in the thread. There will be a new thread for the Twitch stream.![]()
Am I the only one that things 10 million is unreasonable?
I still put in my $29.

For the kind of experience that Shenmue is, no, it's not unreasonable.
Is it possible for it to reach that goal? That's an other question. And since I wish to remain positive for the time being, I won't answer it. =P
Damn, these stretch goals are just really, really bad, especially at a time where this Kickstarter needs serious invigoration.
The whole Kickstarter is a mess and the Shenmue 3 team do not understand it, and how to run a successful campaign.
They are looking way too inward. The majority of the people looking at this Kickstarter have no idea what those stretch goals mean forgetting how or if they are related to Shenmue I and II. The stretch goals should have more wide appeal and easy to understand like PS4 physical copies, Expanded Village with Real-life Modeling, and stuff like that.
The stretch goals need to be like a sales pitch to persuade new backers or current backers to up their pledges, and it doesn't.
And no I'm not adding Yooka to the other graph, since I really don't have the sanity to convert pounds into dollars for all 47 days.
It creates an interesting case of currency conversion. The final amount gets converted by the final exchange rate when the project gets funded. But when people decide whether to back they are looking at different values. It's apples and oranges.wouldn't it be a matter of taking the data points you already have for the pound amounts and then using a formula to easily convert the entire row into dollars and using that as your new set of data points?
not that you have to do it, but you wouldn't need to do it one at a time if you had a spreadsheet, i think.
That's why there is a Twitch stream session later tonight. To answer all those questions people may have about those stretch goals and what to expect from them...
The casual gamer is not on Twitch especially on a Friday. Again, the Kickstarter is looking way too inward and need to target a broader audience. I know a lot of people, for example, who backed Bloodstained not necessarily because they were huge Castlevania fans that knew what a Choubu Area Expanded Kung-Fu Mastery System is, but because of its appeal in reaching to them and just being a gamer. In Bloodstained, for example, everyone knows what a Hardcover Art Book is for a stretch goal and so forth.
The ignorant casual gamer doesn't back games on kickstarter. -___-
And the video from the twitch stream will most likely find its way to the Kickstarter page.
You should put the actual amounts in the comparisons.

I disagree. I think a lot of casuals reach the Kickstarter page in some way or the other. It could have been from reading gaming news on IGN, Gamespot where it was linked, by a friend, a forum, etc., etc., and that is when the campaign page needs to be persuasive to make a sale and not just target the hardcore Shenmue fans. The video from the Twitch stream will go on the Kickstarter page. That doesn't solve the big issues though. That was your idea.
whatever remasters are entirely in sega's hands, so it's unknown what they'll even pull the trigger on those.I never played a Shenmue game, just saw about 30 minutes of gameplay from the original. Seems very interesting and almost anti-game which I admire so I decided to Kickstart it =)
Has there been any word/rumor or a remaster for the first two games, are emulators worth it?
This is ridiculous, stretch goals up to 10.5M and still no physical PS4 version.
This gonna end far from the desired 10M
I quickly put together a new episode in my shenmuetalk-series where I discuss the latest stretch goals-reveal and the possibilities of a future extended campaign:

most kickstarters do indeed get a good surge towards the endÄlg;169904852 said:From the looks of it it won't even break 5.500.000. Unless it gets some sort of massive surge towards the end.
