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?

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.
