Sony's support for the game starts and end at assisting in production and marketing of the game. They are not putting money into any form of development. This is in line with what they do with other indie developlers (of which some even release their games on other platforms because Sony has not invested in the actual game). As Suzuki has said, funding comes directly from KS and only KS. Sony is helping with promoting the game, which is pretty much what they did at their conference: they promotedthe game and its kickstarter. |
"No, we cannot make an open world game for $2 million. Shenmue will be produced using both the funds raised from the Kickstarter and through other funding sources already secured by Ys Net Inc. "
The game is not being funded solely by kickstarter.
