I've been a little behind, here.

Is the physical PS4 edition KS exclusive in it's entirety, or only the case/art/etc and it'll still be sold in stores somewhere?

We don't really know 100% if the retail copy is going to be available post-KS. But I suppose that the exclusive backer's case means that the retail copy is not KS exclusive.

Also, yeah, better be safe. That's what I'm going to do later today.

Problem with this is it kinda sucks for the legit backers who want to change their pledges.

If they make a blanket deposit of 100 or 200 for all pledges above 1k that goes towards their pledge then as long as they don't drop their pledge below that amount they'll be fine. Refund them if the campaign fails and their pledge is still in place at the end of the campaign.

If I had 10k to pledge to a Kickstarter campaign, $100 up front isn't going to hurt me.
 
I'm a terrible person, I wanted this game more than anything and I keep forgetting to pledge. I'll be in later this evening.

Happy to see it get 5 mil though!

Wonder if we'll hit 6 million. I feel like it's possible.

I don't want to work myself up. I really want that expanded battle system, but I'm gonna be realist for today. Tomorrow I might join the hype.

It is an outside chance, but I think the campaign will need a reason to get there. A good way to start would be to move 10-15k digital backers up by 20 to 50 dollars. I think a lot will, just will have to be reminded. I am excited to see the numbers fly tomorrow and friday!

Welp, fuck. That makes that decision for me.

Thanks.

Next time it'll be a 4K one, and then a 2K one, and then a 1K one. This circus will never end.
 
Another option could be to slow the time between updates on the pledge total. For example only update it once per hour and a troll pledge becomes less visible, losing the instant gratification of it.

It won't happen anymore if the push ramps up even further or to be precise, people won't notice anymore.

Yep, when the PS4 retail version was announced, money was coming in so fast that troll pledgers weren't even noticeable. I hope it happens again here.

What is funny about this?

If you know it's going to happen, which by now we should all be well aware that pledge trolls will play around when we are near milestones, then you can just look at it as someone wasting their time fighting the inevitable. At this point the legitimate pledges will have it over the milestone in an hour or so anyway.

5 million is needed for a game similar in size to the older shenmues? Or 10 million?

That hasn't really been clear. It kinda depends on what Yu Suzuki means by "open world". He said $5 million would let him make the game he dreamed of, $10 million would let him make a true open-world game. Many folks think he considers Shenmue 1 and 2 to be open-world games, which means he would need the Kickstarter to reach $10 million to make a game similar in scope to the first two, while $5 million would be enough to make a decent game that finishes the story.

From his twitter QA.

Q: I have a #YouaskYu question. Suzuki-sama, at $5 million, exactly HOW open world will Shenmue 3 be, compared to Shenmue 1/2? Arigatou!

YS: I'm expecting something similar to Dobuita in terms of scale

Why does this just demotivate me so much? I feel like cancelling my pledge everytime I think about getting what seems like a subpar Shenmue 3...
