From what has been shown, it looks to be far from the graphical showcase the original two were and it seems like virtually no work has been done on it. I have my doubts |
According to Shinobi (one of the few reliable insiders there are) Sony will provide additional funding if the game hits its 2 million goal.
And also the original games were the most expensive games off all time when they were made, they had to invent new techniques, it changed platforms once from Saturn to Dreamcast, and it was leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in its time.
There's no need for this one to cost anywhere close to as much, and considering this Kickstarter will get 8-10 million (okay, 5 is the minimum) plus Sony funding, it's easily doable.
