I hope Ryo ends up looking like he did in the first two games

 

[danwarb]

The Choubu Job prolly would have been something bigger and completely different, like the forklift job in Shenmue 1.

 

[IrishNinja]

goddamn, ya'll see this fan art on their facebook page?

also, 5.95 incoming!

reposting for more love! and 5.95 GET

 

[TheCochese]

I upped my pledge to $100 after all. I decided it wasn't enough to have a physical copy of gaming history, but my name had to be in the credits of a piece of gaming history as well.

It's so tempting, but I didn't have the $60 to begin with.

 

[Bioshocker]

Yu Suzuki kan open the champagne bottle now. This is simply amazing. It's been a great ride. I've checked in on the Kickstarter page every day, and the last days probably ten times daily.

We'll get Shenmue III, guys. It'll be tough to wait another two years, but when it comes to waiting we are already undefeated champs.

 

[MrCunningham]

The numbers for the last four days have been great. I would love to see this hit 6.5 by the end.

 

[A-V-B]

boom, 5.95, another stepping stone in the pond

 

[Rymuth]

The Choubu Job prolly would have been something bigger and completely different, like the forklift job in Shenmue 1.

Rice farming?

Could be cool.

 

[Boke1879]

This will probably hit 6 million in the next 30-40 minutes. Interesting to see where this ends.

 

[Theonik]

Wanted to back this to get the retail ps4 version, but sadly i live in Greece and currently i cant spend any money outside.

Will there be a retail version for non backers?

As of now there is no confirmation of such. Maybe they will open PayPal later.

 

[aznxchunky]

so close to 6 mil!

 

[A-V-B]

honestly, it'd be kinda nutty not to open up paypal, if for nothing else to get those late backers (eh ehm) who weren't able to kickstart before it ended

 

[Carl]

Still no bump though

 

[Loudninja]

Dudes less then 50k now.

 

[Aenima]

Yes, I think i read somewhere it would be a fan favourith. So its safe to asume it would be the forklift job.

LEFT LEFT OOOH HOO RIGHT RIGHT

 

[Maleko Saint]

Getting close now, really looking forward to the stream now.

 

[Chezzymann]

How much is it doing hourly now?

 

[IronicSonic]

No matter what, It was rewarding to see a Shenmue's thread in Gaf's front page, like everyday

Congratulation to all! <3

 

[Theonik]

There is also a significant amount of people who can't use KS for one reason or another. Bloodstained had $208k of those till it closed!

 

[orochi91]

Dudes less then 50k now.

Still ~$1.5 million away from all the battle goals.

 

[master15]

Well here it is guys,

In less than 4 hours the KS campaign will finally be over! It's felt like a rollercoaster over the past month. Starting with the huge, surprising announcement at E3, handling the misconceptions about Sony's involvement, questions of funding and budget. Records were broken and there was some trying times mid-campaign as the campaign sputtered. Through it all, if one thing remained constant it was the fans desire to see Shenmue and support it no matter what.

Suzuki described Shenmue III 'For the fans by the fans' and that adage couldn't be any more true given the outpouring of support and dedication that has occurred.

In tribute of the campaign's final hours I want to gather some of my favourite material, whether it be art-work, music, or videos so we can appreciate the first two games and anticipate the long-awaited third title while hopefully breaking a few more records

Art-work

Videos

Shenmue - A thought
Shenmue - Mononoke theme
Shenmue HD tribute
Shenmue - Road to Amihama

We did it guys!

 

[Xieldos]

Just upped my pledge to $175

 

[MaxiLive]

So on the stream Sony are going to be on it as well with a cheque for $4mil right?

 

[Loudninja]

Still ~$1.5 million away from all the battle goals.

Focus on what you can get not on what you cant.

 

[IrishNinja]

^beautiful post master15

 

[SaviorX]

Screw this, I'm jumping from $39 to $60. I want that physical case in my hands in 2017.

Shenmue 3 lets go!

 

[dlbeast]

6.5


make it happen!

 

[GunBR]

Never played Shenmue 1 and 2, but I can't escape all this hype, pledged $29

 

[Maligna]

All you people who haven't played the series, blindly pledging based on faith and the word of us fans... You are bringing a tear to my eye.

 

[MaxiLive]

From all the Shenmue fans out there, we love you <3

 

[Wisker]

In for the printed art book. Now to dig up the old Dreamcast after work.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

So close.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Less than 40k left till 6 million!!

 

[DavidDesu]

Wow just watched it go up $1000 in what seemed like 20 seconds.... If it keeps up like that for 3/4/hours.... Definitely could get close to 6.5 million ... Woohoo!

Brings a wamr.fuzzy feeling to my heart how this has all come about. Shenmue, VR, a good looking new Star Wars film... I'm in heaven at the near future.

 

[BKK]

see the projections are increasing as if we are at 65 the past hour. we should do 80k in the 4th hours...and 100k the last 3 hours... if any of those last 3 hours goes wild....6.5 is in the bank!


HYPE!

Timezones and all that, still think $6.5M is optimistic, but if they can offer post-kickstarter donations (paypal?) then I think that $11M is totally possible.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Of all the stretch goals, getting the advanced battle system was perhaps the most crucial.
We already know the village and story will be great, now the battle system can be expanded everything is in place.
Shenmue III. 2018 GotY.

hmmmmm. i like it!

 

[Y2Kev]

This is going so fast.

 

[Loudninja]

I am glad we got time to spare to get it comfortably over the goal

 

[master15]

^beautiful post master15

Thank you, just wanting to spread the love especially for new gamers that maybe haven't experienced Shenmue to date. I think the music is universal..

 

[Soi-Fong]

We HAVE to break into 6 million before the stream! 6.5 then can be the goal during the Twitch stream. Really get this hyped up.

 

[Coolsambob]

I own the first one but have never played it.

Pledged on day 1, upped it PS4 physical as soon as it arrived.

Hoping for a HD collection so I don't have to buy a new Dreamcast controller.

Great to see this smash Kickstarter!

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Much like Ryo I have come to realise vengeance is futile.

Awesome Japan, I forgive you.


Kind of.

 

[BKK]

Fala português?

 

[TheCochese]

Man, imagine if Sega could have been on board from the start. Get like the $150 funding level to come with a digital copy of 1&2 remastered.

Sigh.

 

[dlbeast]

This is going so fast.

why is you name in red?

 

[Loudninja]

Fala português?

Hmm? >_>

There's a last minute stream? Can you post a link?

 

[Oriel]

4 days left.
Kicktraq continues to lower the expected projection for Shenmue 3 : Yu Suzuki's project should end between 4.9 and 5.18M$.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.
