I love the Yakuza series but never played any Shenmue. Is emulation the most viable way to play the dreamcast and xbox game?
You're definitely not playing the Xbox game in an emulator.

How much would it cost to port Shenmue 1 and 2?
Haha... I love video games and the joy they bring. : )

all kickstarters do this. You have a big push in the first 48 hours, and the last 48 hours, then sort of a trickle between them.
That random dude
The reasons for the initial push are obvious, but what is the explanation for that second spike at the end?
The DC versions can be emulated but there are visual glitches. The Xbox version cannot.I love the Yakuza series but never played any Shenmue. Is emulation the most viable way to play the dreamcast and xbox game?
It is not a question of money as much as it is a question of SEGA getting off their butts.How much would it cost to port Shenmue 1 and 2?

Going to be real hard then.It is not a question of money as much as it is a question of SEGA getting off their butts.

A few things, people wait to see how the campaign progresses, pressure mounts pushing people over the edge, last minute upgrades, and Kickstarter now lets you follow a project so you get notified when there is 48hrs remain. Basically, you see something interesting follow it, get emailed and when 48hrs hit you can decide to back it or not.The reasons for the initial push are obvious, but what is the explanation for that second spike at the end?
Well even SEGA can't ignore a $6m KS surely.Going to be real hard then.
Wooo 3 Million
This next million is big, some interesting stretch goals there
We still don't know what Sony is actually doing about the game everything is vague. At any rate Sony has already gotten their money back for what they've done so far in goodwill alone.If Sony are going to pour in some funds anyway, doesn't mean that tiers will be covered anyway even if not reached through Kickstarter?
As much as it takes to get Sega to do something.
Which might be a lot.

Also, if Sony is putting money in this, the more the fan support the less reluctant they would be to really invest in this because it creates the impression that this can actually have AAA potential.
Well The Witcher 3, which is certainly AAA material needed 30 million dollars to make. Let's say the Kickstarter reaches 10m - I wonder how much more would Sony tempted to drop on the project.

$30 million because it was made in poland
Is the gif in the OP actually a reaction to the announcement? Where can I see that video? Anyone got a link handy?
They've been ignoring everything for 14 years, but you're right, let's hope money will talk. I'm all for it, obviously.Well even SEGA can't ignore a $6m KS surely.
Its slowed down a lot.
Might not hit 4?

I don't think we can handle that level of Polish.Then let's make Shenmue 3 in Poland
Since Yu had to negociate with SEGA to get the license in the first place, I'd be really surprised if they aren't planning something. They have a ton of stuff to show in these 30 days.They've been ignoring everything for 14 years, but you're right, let's hope money will talk. I'm all for it, obviously.
They need to add more stretch goals PRONTO!
While I am super happy, this is such a shitty way to go about this whole thing. Smh, I hope this game really makes it out the door.
It's probably too short to waste a disc.
Do Sony have any limits on what can be a retail release?
I've got a feeling after the Kickstarter has ended we'll see a PS4 retail release confirmed. I believe they can't confirm a PS4 retail release unless they are in an official contract with PlayStation, but then that would mean they couldn't run a Kickstarter.
I might be totally wrong on that but that's my assumption.
Bloodstained eventually got ALL consoles (except 3DS).Have any other Kickstarter's ever offered a physical PS4 copy tier? How many?

Kinda. SCEA has a laundry list of what they will and will not allow to release on PlayStation and there is additional risk associated with retail console release.Do Sony have any limits on what can be a retail release?

Is this a joke? Too short? Have you ever played Shenmue? Do you think Sony and Y's Net are working together on a mere demo or a single town? C'mon man.

However I'd be seriously surprised if this doesn't get a PS4 LE. I expect to be able to get that and then buy PC digitally down the line.

This is normal for crowdfunding. At its current trajectory hitting 5 million is easy. I would be surprised if it doesn't make more than 7 million if Sony and YS don't do something stupid enough to anger backers.
Like Sony saying that they use KS as market research?
