I never understood what the big deal with thisgame was. And 2 million? The original was the most expensive game of it's time, and only 2 million? Really?


Shenmue was a game that pushed bounderies and was especially expensive because it was half developed for the saturn and later had to be redone for the DC. Unreal engine 4 is cheapand Shenmue 3 wont be a game tht will push bounderies unless Sony backs it.

It's using Unreal Engine huh? Good.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

It's finally happening! And on PC, too!

But I don't know why it's only 2M...

And shit, I have to wake up in 4 hours...

It's risky to go to high with the minimal goal, as you get nothing if you fail.

As to why Kickstarter, I believe it's to retain some creative control, which they wouldn't retain if Sony funded the game outright. Also most probably wouldn't have a PC version then.

And holy shit, already past 500k

The Kickstarter stuff is all very baffling.

I don't think it's exclusive. Just a Kickstarter? Why didn't Sony just finance it? That part seemed lame.


It's PC/PS4

I don't quite get it either. The goal is only 2M. Sony or any other company can easily afford that. Maybe it's a matter of creative control?


sega isnt also mentioned at all



Why i left PC gaming

Have you played the game?  Insanely ahead of its time.  Nothing was close for years.

The first one was so expensive because they were making a lot of the technology from scratch.  Everything was brand new and the R&D means big money.  Nowadays with ready to use engines and stuff, it's not as expensive.

BUT I'm sure in an ideal world Yu Suzuki would love to have a 50 million dollar budget for this game.  But, that's not in the cards.  Better to make the game on a tight budget than never make it.  Of course, this kickstarter will generate a lot more than 2 million.  Bloodstained hit 5 million?  I think Shenmue could do a lot more.  I would absolutely not be surprised if it gets to ten million.

I don't have a Dreamcaat, and I never saw a copy for Xbox.


Well that may be why you don't get the hype.

Kinda lame that Sony didn't outright fund it

I think Kickstarter is more of a way to market and gauge hype. Its obviously going to cost significantly more than 2 million to create this game.

It will probably be one of the most if not the most funded game ever on Kickstarter. That's great marketing.

Conflicted feelings. Happy that there is a kickstarter but i literally lost my shit thinking the game was being announced and gameplay would be shown only for them to make an announcement asking for my money.

Already at 550 k under 30 minutes.Its going to reach the goal by end of day definetely
