I wonder what started the 11th hour donations. It looked like it had stalled out.

There is hope, the project very strongly surged during the last couple of days, people are getting their pledges up, some big pledges too. The NeoGaf thread covering it is actually a pretty amusing read
it will be close, but it might just make it.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!

They might can make that goal and more if they add other platforms. I think they want it to be exclusive to Sony platforms. Actually I'm sure of it.

Its a Sony owned IP, it has to be a Playstation exclusive.

On kickstarter?

Yes, Sony said they could make it but wouldnt fund it. Then no other publisher they went to would fund it so they are using Kickstarter and some funds of their own to make it happen... lets hope I have my facts straight here =P Its something along those lines

Even if they add then it needs to up their goals because the current goal is only meant for PS3/PS4 development cost not even PS Vit(its a stretch goal). So, i dont think even if they add more platforms then it wont reach it but for PS3/PS4 it will surely reach by looking at the current trend. Also remember this is Sony IP and this kickstarter was only 18 days. Its really great to see PS Exclusive getting funded in short time and i Hope Sony fund PS Vita stretch goal amount later.
So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.
PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.
Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.
Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Sony owns the IP, so they have the final say on all major decisions related to the game (including the platforms). What most likely happened is they asked Sony if they could make another, to which Sony said yes they could but that they wouldn't be willing to fund it. That's why Harmonix are using kickstarter to get funding.
It's not particularly surprising Sony wouldn't want to fund it themselves. They are already spending several million on the development of new PS4 titles, it wouldn't be wise for them to add to that amount by backing a pretty obscure IP like Amplitude that isn't guaranteed to make its money back.

Well, Sony has some games on PC like Planetside 2 and H1Z1, but then again those are made by SOE.
