Im thinking 5.5 mil at this point

sounds reasonable. I'm not expecting 6. That's the curse of Shen Mue, a very vocal, but very small fanbase.

Luckily most people who played the original games now have jobs, so they have the money to back this project.
 
Well I did it... 300$... one of these crazy days.

Yooka-Laylee, a Kickstarter that completely sputtered out by the end, saw 5000 new pledges on the last day. If Shenmue 3 only matches that (which it is already trending to far exceed), and at the average pledge of $89, this KS will see $445,000 on the last day. Anyone thinking this won't beat Bloodstained is not following along.
 
Haven't been paying much attention to the campaign recently but wasn't there meant to be some final surprise they were holding onto for the end of the campaign?
 
Is that in America, Europe or Asia? Don't waste time and shipping charges if I make my copy gotta travel all around the world before I get it :V
it's likely they've got a set up where they are going to be printing disks in different places across the world for easier and quicker shipping. i'm not super familiar with the process but i assume it'll be similar to most other games where they're printed in the US for the american continent, japan for asia, and germany for europe.
 
finally been able to pledge 60 for the ps4 physical, thats all i could afford, and really hoping the KS at least reaches 7.5, thats the most realistic, or optimistic sweet spot

anyway, some people here been saying that you needed to put an extra 10 or something for shipping, but in the KS on the manage pledge page it says it includes shipping

Extra shipping fees only apply to the higher tiers with more physical rewards like the art book, CD soundtrack, etc.
 
Got another $20 that I'm considering putting in. I stepped down earlier, but I reaaaaally would like one of those capsule toys.... But money's slightly tight with stuff coming up, and it's $20 for a little toy at the end of the day. We'll have to see if they hype grabs me during the last day.

That said, I'd throw another $30 in easy for a digital copy on top of what I have. Add-ons would help a LOT for the last day.
 
Just a reminder, yesterday the daily total after 12 hours was sitting at a little over 30k and the day closed at 110k. Today after the same amount of time we are at 75k.

Where is that guy that was posting the KS projections day after day?
 
that fucking qte! i swear that one has the least amount of time to react to it in the whole game.

however it was pretty great because of there being three possible outcomes to that scene depending on how well you do in the qte, and all of them are funny on some level.

edit: team yu website back up.
 
Gonna be a good day

Hopefully we can get close to 200k today.

Their search widget is broken but it works. The tweet sequence spells Shenmue

I got it working by manually retweeting because it says "Hmm, an empty timeline. That's weird". I don't really know much about Twitter, I don't use it often so it was all very confusing.But whatever, hopefully it'll work as planned.
 
I'm really not liking all the mystical vibe being given off here which I suspect will only increase as we see more of Shenhua.
i wouldn't read into it too much.

shenmue has been described as magic realism and i'd agree with that. the fact ryo represents the realism and shenhua represents the magic shows that the balance is probably going to be tipped more in the realms of what is real than what is not.
