I don't know why all the meltdowns. The 2M he asked on Kickstarter won't pay 6 months of development. The game most likely will cost around 8-10M if it's cheap or more than 15M if they decide to be ambitious.

Just like Bloodstained or Mighty n. 9, Kickstarter was just used to get a quick cash that helps a bit and to show to the publishers that the game generates enough interest to be economically viable. Instead of approaching someone and saying "hey, I got some crazy niche idea and I think it works" it's better to say "hey, I got some crazy niche idea and 100k people donated 3M in a month to make it happen, so it's viable".

It's just like Bayonetta. The game wouldn't happe otherwise. Shenue is an even worse case, becuase OG Bayonetta sold decently and didn't costed 80M like Shenmue on Dreamcast.

That's a myth, shenmue cost 49m.

i believe people should be more interested if the project reach completion more than if Sony backing with big bucks.

They really need to add physical copy for ps4, because i won't support a download only game :-/

And on topics, i hope this info going to more know website, because sony get trashed about this.

Yes, Shenmue 3 is only coming to PS4 and PC.

Streach goals are PC oriented. 

Wish they made a dreamcast version, just feels right.
