Stranger Things is 80s as hell. Lovin it.

The time-honored tradition of speculating E3 shenmue news continues :) If there is a presentation, it'll be short. At most a collection of the kickstarter updates and possibly Magic Monaco material. Wouldn't mind hearing an estimated date for Alpha gameplay, since I and probably everyone else here b...

Really digging this. It's like a longplay without commentary. Looks great, too.

I'd be really curious to see how much extra funding they could get through Paypal.

Honestly, I could easily see myself setting up monthly donations until it's finished.

Good video, but I'm not sure I agree with Dannys conclusion. He says Shenmue was carried on the back of nostalgia, like a return of casette tapes or Surge or something. I wonder if he actually played and liked the game. Every once in a while you come upon a piece of media that truly immerses you. It...

I still get goosebumps when I hear the orchestra. I need to see that live.

impressive. most impressive.

You cant emphasize the need of excellent promotion enough on this project. Promotion is in key role to make this project succeed. How will they promote and manage to capture new players to play the game without playing the first two. Even if there will be a short movie. Will that be enough and how ...

Ahh, good.

$120 for the capsule, but might go higher once I get budgets worked out. I wouldn't mind that art book...

I'm actually very happy that we will get japanese voices and Masaya Matsukaze, the original voice of Ryo. To be honest the english dub for Shenmue and Shenmue II was absolutely terrible even for the standards of the time and frankly I think the voice-acting wasn't worthy of a game of Shenmue's cali...

I've been thinking about how the game will be released, and DLC actually makes the most sense. If you've ever played a telltale game, I suspect Shenmue will be set up in a similar way, as episodic content. With digital distribution it'd be simple to go back and place earlier episodes with extra cont...

Regarding several concerns: The Kickstarter is losing steam and not making as much money as it was : As a crowd funding veteran and someone who follows these fairly often, the initial surge of enthusiastic backers during the first 2-3 days, followed by the subsequent slowdown is a trait of every ma...

I had thought auto donations were set up through my paypal but somehow it stopped after the first month. Should be fixed now.

From what I've heard, shorter kickstarters create a sense of pressure on the buyers because it gives them a sense of urgency, making them feel like they have to donate asap. That said, they certainly should have made an announcement that the kickstarter was coming, before they actually started it. ...
