Several FAQ updates this morning

What languages will the game support?

Shenmue 3 will be available in English and Japanese, and since the Stretch Goals have been reached, German, French, Italian and Spanish languages will be added as well. We have received many requests to add Portuguese and Chinese among other languages as well. We are hopeful that funding levels will allow for further languages. Should additional languages be added, there will be an announcement made on the Update page.


How confident are you in your ship date?

A rigorous budget and schedule has been worked out with our production team and we believe our target of 2017 holiday season is within reach. That said, our goal is to make the best game possible (and one that the fans want!) so please understand the schedule may change as the project evolves. Frequent updates will be posted on the Update page.


Will there be an Xbox/Wii U/Linux/Mac version for Shenmue 3?

Currently we are planning development only for PC (Windows) and PS4. Other platforms have not been decided yet. If other platform versions were added as rewards, an announcement would be made on the update page.

Just look at how cool the tiers, updates, and overall campaign in this game were:

Also look at the magnificent 7 was an approach to keep the thing going (if they reached X ammount of money, they would add Y more money). Interesting stuff to keep the flow going.

So why not set 10 million for Chinese VO and subs. It will make it in hours.

I seriously do not understand why Chinese Shenmue fans are getting black balled here. Why wasn't Chinese subs the very first OPTION besides France? China is where the game is set, and it seems pretty natural to try to cater to that audience, which is already pretty sizable given that the previous title Shenmue Online was slated as for China only.

We do. Look at the Shenmue Online announcement. It was at a big gaming conference in China.

Online gaming is big in China however console gaming not so much one of the reasons is that the console ban was lifted only last year if I recall correctly. The PS4 has sold 75 000 units so far.

There's also the great firewall to consider so promoting the kickstarter there may be impossible.

Funnily enough, I bought an NTSC-J copy of Shenmue when I was in Beijing in 2008. Was only like £10, got that and Psychic Force 2012 and The Lost Golem, still haven't opened any of them :P

I'm getting really pissed off about the lack of updates and the lack of quality of them.

One was a video about a guy that talked to yu about making shenmue, and the next one was to promote his game ¿?, another one was a photo of cerny, and 2 other were because they fucked the announcement of the reddit AMA.

This is probably the highest hyped KS yet, and they can't write a couple of lines of text ???

Today we reached another stretchgoal, no update. It's THAT hard to get some concept art, interview with the team, even some half assed sketches would be awesome. There are fanart they could use, just put a little more zazz (at this level more zazz would be a video of a turtle in slowmotion).

I'm ok with the KS and everything until now.
The large group of haters is pulling me down! There are so many negative comments. ( clickbait articles, not here in the Dojo)

The kickstarter's daily pledge is dropping every day. I'm not liking this at all. There seems to be a serious lack of commitment and enthusiasm from the people managing the kickstarter and this is one of the biggest problems.

Seriously is it that hard to give us a small update or anything at all? For die-hard shenmue fans we know what this is all about but to people who aren't fans, what reason do they have to care about the kickstarter if it seems like the people running it dont care about it themselves?

Yu Suzuki said pledge tiers would be added and they are greatly needed, but then what is taking so long to add something like this? It's seriously frustrating.
