So, a Shenmue 3 kickstarter was announced at E3 today ( best news i have ever heard at E3 ) so i thought i would create a thread about it.

So far it's already close to half a million dollars, this is less than half an hour after it was announced.

I (like most the country) missed the Sony conference. Why is this a kickstarter? $2 million is a drop in the ocean for Sony to fund.

Glad it's coming to the PC as well. Happy days!

I imagine that although there was a lot of noise about it there may have been concern that there wasn't actually the support out there to justify it. I suppose it's a 'you want it, put your money where your mouth is' type deal. Can't say I am surprised really, think of how loud the clamour is for Yakuza translations are then it doesn't sell well.
If it's going to work it's going to take a damn sight more than 2million, the stretch goals are 4million and then 2*? Million. I imagine Sony are part funding it.
They better not have that appalling voice acting.

Yeah $2 million is no where near enough, didn't the first 2 cost like $50 million to make?

I sold my Dreamcast discs the other year for £40 each, such huge demand still

Yep, something like $99 million in today's money. I suppose Sony must be putting money in. Could it be that if the target is reached then Sony sub the rest of the Dev cost?
The clip I saw suggested that if the stretch goals are reached it would be 'the full experience ' which sounded like kickstarter is going to pay for bonus towns. It's all a wee bit vague.

I was initially happy and amazed when this was announced (played all the previous games on the DreamCast), HOWEVER, the fact that they are NOT making it for Xbox One (PS4 & PC only), is a travesty?!?!

Why?!?!?!?!

Presumably because Sony bought console exclusivity.

I just hope they fire out remakes of the original shenmue games! 👍🏻 (even digital PSN only releases would do me) 👊🏻

Backed it for the $29 digital copy, but I may up it to a physical copy before it ends.

Amazing, target almost met in half a day.

Wonder why it's only digital on ps4?

Should Shenmue 3 be a success digitally, then will further installments be physical copys too.

Waited 14years for this announcement, what a day.

Shenmue was a huge part of my gaming experiences as a child.

Now at 27, I feel old....
