Re: Legit concerns you have for Shenmue 3

I'll be honest, after 13 years i wouldn't have cared if the game was made for mobile only.

I'll take whatever they make

Re: $10 million

Some people on Neogaf i swear.... before it was "uh, the game is being funded by Sony they don't need my money", now it's "Uh, Sony is not funding it? the game will be crap then, i've lost interest".

At least the Shenmue guys there are doing an excellent job, there almost always 2-3 threads in the first page.

Re: Potential huge donor please read.

Best thing you can do is ask her for a donation that's big enough for the campaign, but a drop in the bucket for her.

10k maybe?

Re: 31.000 in 3 days....

Make no mistake guys, i'm extremely happy all this happened, and all things considered i would rate it a big success if we finish at 5millions.

I just want the best for the only shot we have, and seeing it in the hands of complete amateurs makes me furious.

Luckily we are the best community a game could ever have, or we wouldnt have gotten this far. :)

Re: What in the world happened with the KS today?

Like... all they needed to do is literally just have 1 person to handle the page, 1 person to handle the rewards, and 1 translator for when Yu Suzuki needs to send a message to the community.

Make like a daily update talking about a different character every day (be it friend or foe, or just one of the funny characters) with some art or hd game screens and a brief presentation. In the last days of the campaign a random guy opens the page and sees a sweet presentation of the Shenmue world, messages from Yu Suzuki explaining the stretch goals, and a crap load of reward tiers he can choose from. Random guy is gonna pledge and tell a friend to check out the page, bingo.

But no, we get fucking 3 idiots that can't even reharse a stream before going live, can't act professionally, and can't even setup a backers only poll without screwing up. And there's still typos in the page, check the description for the 60$ reward, "exlusive".

Re: Kickstarter:Final value and overall success assessment

Even if the KS finished right now it would already be an undeniable amazing success.

Guys, let's face the facts here. This is Shenmue 3 we are talking about, 20 days ago 99% of gamers didnt even know the hell it was, the prequels are only available on fucking Xbox and Dreamcast and they came out FIFTEEN years ago.

It was already an incredible success that it got announced as a KS campaign, everything thats been happening since then trespasses in the realm of dreams.

Re: Update #27 New rewards!

Well, props to Awesome Japan they really are putting some work, a tier between 500 and 1k was much needed. And the 80$ tier will make many 60$ backers up their pledge.

Now we just need the damn new hype video and maybe a stretch goal between 5.1 and 6m for the final rush.

Re: How much "magic" will be in Shenmue III? (spoiler Shenmu

Wow i was not expecting so much denial in this thread.

Yes guys, magic is a big component of Shenmue and if you arent expecting it, frankly you are blind.

Lets recap:

- Lan Di kills Iwao over a mirror

- Chen explanation about Chi You Men trying to "revive" Chiyou

- Zu explanation with the mirror projecting lights outta nowhere

- Shenmue tree giving a "supernatural" sense of protection, Ryo feels connected to it even if he was born in Japan

- Bailu village ANCIENT Prophecy, Phoenix vs Dragon

- Ryo being "the one"

- Flying swords

I mean, really people arent expecting much "magic"? Lan Di killed Iwao in 10 seconds, and Iwao trained like 30 years more than Ryo. How do you expect Ryo to beat Lan Di without magic?

Re: Do You Think We Met Enough Goals?

According to nico nico interview Baisha is where most of the new ideas Yu Suzuki has will be implemented, while the other villages will host "filler" content.

Basically we got:

1) main systems (rapport+skill tree)
2) full story events + innovative quests
3) advanced battle system
4) minimum guaranteed quantity of filler activities

Ofc not the perfect outcome, but like 65-70% of Yu's vision for the game, the only important stuff missing is the other battle improvements.

For something that was less than a dead dream 40 days ago i would say it was an amazing result.

Re: Kickstarter Update 51: Poll Results & Shenmue.link revam

I obviously agree with the outrage AJ and this update have caused but in the end, who cares?

Shenmue 3 has already gotten the vast majority of the money it could have gotten via crowdfunding, so this debacle won't have much impact. I mean even if the pp campaign will get like $200k from today to the end it closes, it would still not be even 3% of the total budget.

Maybe i'm too positive, but it's the way i see it.... if the game turns out great no one will remember this update.

So, what do you estimate is the budget of this game?

These days i've been wondering what the final budget for Shenmue 3 is, considering we more or less already got 99,9% of the crowfunding money we could.

So, a few facts:

- Total money from kickstarter was $6.333.295 millions

- Paypal money is now around $250k

- YS net secured other funding sources besides crowfunding money

Shenmue will be produced using both the funds raised from the Kickstarter and through other funding sources already secured by Ys Net Inc.

- Shibuya is helping with production and marketing (and publishing PC version) and Sony is helping with production, marketing and some publishing support (or maybe just the publishing support? info on KS page is a bit contradicting)


So, we got 6.333.295 from KS, let's say 2% of the money couldn't be processed for various reasons (just guessing the %, i cannot find an official average number), that reduces the money to 6.206.629.

Of that the KS page states 65-72% goes to game development, let's use 68.5% for the calc since it's the middle number, that puts the total going to the game at $4.251.541 millions.

Add the 250k from paypal and we have a total of $4.501.541 millions collected via crowfunding

So, the questions now are:

1) How much are the funds secured by YS net? the only thing that can help us guessing here is that they were ready to make the game with just $2m money from KS (1.370.000 after the other expenses).

2) What could be the minimum budget for a 3d game that Sony would let an independent dev make for PS4? if we subtract the minimum KS goal money from this total we should have the private funds secured by YS net.

3) Is Sony and Shibuya's involvement counted in the "private funds secured by YS net" or are there other investors?

4) What % of the total budget are usually the marketing and publishing costs?

Feel free to add your insight and guesses.

Re: PAYPAL SUPPORT FOR SHENMUE 3 NOW LIVE!

$6.6 million aint' so bad. If $10 million was Yu Suzuki's pie-in-the-sky dream amount for Kickstarter funds, I don't think we've compromised too hard.

That said, a special anniversary $30 on the 3rd would be nice. We'd need to reach out beyond the Shenmue fanbase though.


The only thing is Yu Suzuki had planned stretch goals ???? way beyond 10M... can you imagine what they would have been? I could cry thinking about it.

Eh, Shenmue 3 is the game with whom we will rise from the grave, Shenmue 4 will be the game where Yu will be able to realize his full vision. For a series dead for more than a decade we couldn't have asked for more than that.

Re: E3 2016 & Shenmue 3

I hope you guys don't get offended by this post, but wtf am i reading in this thread? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Did some of you really get angry because Sony gives a crap load of money to Kojima while Yu Suzuki needs kickstarter to make his game??? Well, then let me welcome you to the real world: Yu Suzuki (for as much as i respect him and love Shenmue to death) hasn't made a console game since fucking 2001 , while Hideo Kojima has basically been printing money for the last 20 years and has a HUGE cult following.

Of fucking course they are treated differently, if anything we should be grateful that Sony decided to give support and prime e3 time to a series dead for 15 years that almost no one cares about. That in itself it's a miracle because let's face it, without the e3 2015 exposure there's no way in hell we would have gotten 6.6m pledged on KS.

So, imo before complaining to Sony we all should not forget where we were mentally 12 months and 1 week ago.

No offence really, but some comments i read here are out of the world. ;-)
