But it is a game that is coming, it is more tangible now thanks to the event and got the fans involved.... Sony are funding it as far as I know, just not the whole thing. I think the idea behind the kickstarter was to allow the fans to feel involved with the whole process from the vocal groups that called for the sequel and then bring them and others on board to make them feel like they truely gave life to the project and carried it through to completion. In fairness the money they got for the Kickstarter is nothing in game-finance terms... If Sony wanted to they could have funded it no problem IMO. |
Unless they had a change of heart Sony is not funding this game, so yes the kick starter did fund it. Sony could have funded it but didn't they made the fans do it with them just putting up the money to publish it. If Sony was smart they would put money in on this project because the kick starter money is not a enough to make a AAA graphical game that shenmue is known for.
