They'd better unblurry those other tiers.

I think that's exactly why. With a bigger install base, it is easier to reach bigger numbers. If they used the lower tier for PS4, there would be less incentive to reach higher numbers.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Just hit $500k. For a port.

Here's hoping the PC port is better than their Nier port. 3 years later and it's still a bit of a mess without the Kaldain mod.

reading that Nintendo did not even sell their part of the IP is weird
but hope this sells well on other platforms I want to see where they can take this if they make a W102

Ya seriously what is this?
We're accepting fundraisers for WiiU ports now?
Not a trend I want to see continued.

I think that's a joke.....I think.

Relax, it's a glorified loot grab. The game is launching anyway (which is why they say "backer exclusive box art" and not "Kickstarter exclusive physical release").
Folks who want to play the game will get a chance to buy it on Amazon and/or at retail. Folks who want to support the Kickstarter can do so as well.

It is very funny. The fact you seemed pissed at it makes it even more funny!

Stretch goals image disappeared, so I think they're updating it like.... right now.

Being self aware of it is though, from where I'm sitting.
Also optional.

Kickstarter is nowadays used as a half-marketing campaign / half-fundraising. It's obvious the game was going to come out anyway, hence the very low minimum fundraising limit. They're not going to make DLC in 4 months, either. The "backer exclusive box art" means they already had plans to release it to retail in some form.
So these campaigns are often for the fan who preorders a $350 AssCreed Statue Edition from GameStop, but instead of an oversized box at GameStop, it's online. In some circumstances KS campaigns will be used to fund the game from the ground up or to fund a physical version that otherwise wouldn't be made, that's true too.
The platform is a mixed bag but as someone who backed some of the OG videogame successes (FTL, Wasteland 2) and many more boardgames, I've been satisfied with it. I think KS can be a force of good.

Well that was fast lol. I went thinking to myself “I hate backing Kickstarters, but I will for this game”. Then I saw that it is already over $549k, so no need for my backing now. Great job everyone.
I can’t wait for this! I for the life of me can’t understand why Nintendo wouldn’t have simply done this a long time ago. Good on Platinum for being able to publish it themselves.

Right, it's a glorified pre-order and free publicity. Since they can issue steam keys gratis they'll make more money.
It's not the first time this happens, but it's the most naked attempts yet, game basically releases shortly after the kickstarter ends.

Platinum, please, joke has gone way too far already.
I actually dug this game quite A bit. Came at the height of my John Carpenter fandom as well. The escape from NY vibe was great.

the bad thing of this is that many companies will copy this method to "Bring "the port system games

I'm pretty sure MadWorld will come next. Fingers crossed!

It'll hit $1 million within 24 hours. The Kickstarter only launched a few hours ago.
I don't personally have a problem with this considering it's just an alternative way to preorder. $50 to their Kickstarter or $50 to Jeff Bezos via Amazon? At least they're not locking the physical version behind the Kickstarter, I'd consider that much worse.

Those are some pretty underwhelming stretch goals.
But oh well, I'm more than happy simply getting the game ported to not just Switch but PC and PS4 too

I was just thinking that, if they implement mouse controls right the PC version could play the best out of all of them.
drawing the lines should be really straight forward and fast on a mouse...
only super long drawings could be an issue (for people who don't know the machanics, the more people you use in your transformation the stronger your attack, so if you draw a super long straight line for example you will make a super big and strong sword, and on a stick that's super easy to do obviously)

Look at those MAGNIFICENT stretch goals
I'm left wondering if the first 3 goal tiers were reached more slowly, would they have put the 4th stretch goal closer, or they would still have made that jump from 500K to 1M?
Greedy much?

Dumb question: So basically 4 Platinum is just a kickstarter campaign. Wonder what's next MGR?

That's not greed. They wanted 500k for all 3 ports and that's it. For extra bucks they're willing to revisit game once more. Unless you wanted to see xbox port at 750k....

I hope at least one of the other 3 is an actual new game and not a port.
But idk if all 4 are going to be kickstarter campaigns.

I think that one is owned by Nintendo.

The $1 million dollar stretch goal is a joke. That said I never played the Wii U version that much. I'll maybe get on switch if it releases physically.

It was originally published by Nintendo and by all means it seems Nintendo could have kept it exclusive, but have allowed PG to go on and self publish the title on other platforms as well. Nintendo and PG have a pretty good relationship.

Nah, it is funny and completely optional. You getting so triggered over it makes it even funnier. Lighten up, Mista.
How is it greedy? If there is enough folks willing to pay them to produce more content then they would make more content.
