They need to figure out how to implement an physical release of the PS4 version. It appears that's really restricting a lot of backers to the $30 set.
it's slowed down for sure, but people have to sleep sometime. we'll maybe see another european push in a couple hours. 3 million by this afternoon at least.
do we have any shenmue twitter campaigners in here? has anybody thought about a sustained twitter campaign to try and keep awareness high?

That was an AMAZING first day! And we have only just started! There are still so may stops to make, so let's keep this ship steaming on.
Throughout the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter campaign, we will have a whole carnival of everything that is Shenmue to celebrate this occasion. Exclusive interviews, game and development info, polls, and lots more! (Cant spoil all the surprises, can we?)
To kick off our Super Shenmue Update Spectacular, we have a special guest who has had Shenmue close to his heart since the very beginning.
Founder of Camoflaj, and fresh from his success with his own Kickstarter for Republique, this pillar of the gaming community made his mark as a video game journalist and with his work on the Metal Gear Solid series and Halo 4.
So give a big welcome to Ryan Payton as he talks Shenmue, crowdfunding and Yu Suzuki:

Thank you all for supporting Shenmue 3! To make this Shennmue the Shenmue we all want, please keep up the Tweeting, Facebooking, posting, and Chawan signing!
See you tomorrow!
Hmmm it's nearing 2.9 million now, seems like money has slowed down?
It'll probably get around 4 tops, just because of the 3.5 million skill tree
If all the magnificent music in this series, the orchestral version of the theme song has to be my favorite

It feels so grandiose, so epic, so sweeping. It has the weight and significance such a ground breaking project deserves. It feels appropriately heavy.
I remember listening to this track over and over again in the odcm shenmue trailer. One of the best musical pieces in all of gaming.
I would upgrade to $60 for physical PS4.
The main theme really captures the epic they are trying to setup and showcases the game's ambition and scale. That trailer really blew some minds when it came out.If all the magnificent music in this series, the orchestral version of the theme song has to be my favorite

Me too, need something to put next to my Shenmue 1 and 2 Dreamcast boxes
Have people commented on Ryo's face change? I know it's very early work in progress but I'm just curious if people like the new face.

Poor Fuku San. I remember using the arm break fire against him numerous times as he was the only person you could practice grapples on. Poor guy I must have broken his arm a million times.
Almost 3,000,000 (+1M the goal) some of that money could have been to Outcast reboot HD with only 330,000 left to be funded....
Is a shame some projects made it and other don't... I guess what would have happended if Outcast would have shown in a E3 conference...
Was there an update celebrating the fact that they passed the goal already? I don't recall seeing one
looks better in some shots than others, but it's still very early indeedHave people commented on Ryo's face change? I know it's very early work in progress but I'm just curious if people like the new face.
Your post comes off like you're bitter against Shenmue 3 because a game you want to see funded isn't there yet. Not sure if that's the case but it's pretty weird to see someone in the thread almost blaming Shenmue 3 for other games not reaching their goals.
Also, is this going to be the standard now? A game doesn't reach their goal so it's going to be an automatic "IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN FUNDED IF IT GOT FREE PROMOTION LIKE SHENMUE!!!".
Regarding the bolded, I just don't get that. Why sit on a failed IP? You won't do anything with it and the creator wants it back and you say "no"? What could Sega possibly have to gain?? ....they didn't make Shenmue pachinko machines, did they?
Guys, probably a silly question but, I want to back but I only see the option to do so in USD , is there a way to change it to GBP?

I would never have expected such a huge amount of money to be put towards such a project. It's pretty insane and now how can the game possibly live up to expectations put upon it... I mean srsly.
Looking at the Kickstarter stats, crazy that nearly 900 people have chucked in $500.
And there's three generous (and rich) peeps that have coughed up $10,000.
They really shouldn't block their videos.They should let videos like these spread like wildfire so it can be usable as news.
Can someone tell them??

You will automatically get converted to GPB when you pledge. You could always use a currency converter to see the cost. There won't be any additional charges for doing this either. Is there a reason you don't want to pay in USD?
It should show you an approximate conversion rate.
Sh3nmu.

That's great, I didn't try going through "checkout" fully so I wasn't sure.
No reason other than I'm in the UK so I'd prefer to know the amount in GBP. Thanks for the replies!
leave a comment in the updates. i'm sure they're paying attention and are probably looking to figure this out as we speak.Yeah, the hype needs to keep going and more stretch goals need to be added. Higher tiers are a must too. A $800 / $1000 tier is a must and maybe even higher than that. I'd hate to see this Kickstarter not reach its potential because of missed opportunities with running the campaign.
Because of this man:
I wonder if by the end of e3 if Sony and the team behind Shenmue 3 make some more announcements to give the kickstarter some lift. I'd assume that when e3 is over that the donations will trail off a lot. Besides it looks like at the rate they will hit all their goals by Thursday night.
they need to list how much they cost once this hits three million.There are two stretch goals mentioned in the video that don't yet have dollar amounts attached to them. They're for two additional villages. That shit will bring out the backers.
