its wasnt that much money the video explains. They spent 70 million $ for the original shenmue games but it included shenmue 1, 2 and the sega saturn version which was cancelled so basicly 3 games.

Yeah, but back then that was still a huge amount of money for 3 games, right? Or was that normal?

They were leaps and bound ahead of their time, they had to develop an engine from scratch etc. while now they are using Unreal Engine, and they don't have to/won't go for ZOMFG graphics this time, so if they get 10 million from the Kickstarter (which doesn't seem too unlikely) it should be a decent budget.
