Gimme a break. Sony, stop being cheap sons of bitches.


Not sure if serious... [-X

If community members and Shenmue fans are buying into this narrative, what's to say about the general public? This Sony-funding shenanigans have damaged the kickstarter, for real. And we need to work hard to clear that misunderstanding.


I'm pretty sure he was trolling. If not then he only needs to read the top of page 2 to see what the real deal is.

Getting a YouTube personality to play Shenmue would be like winning the lottery. Awesome, but highly unlikely. Their followers would most likely find Shenmue boring because "no headshots." Our best bet is the fanbase and PayPal. There are more fans out there who haven't donated. And adding PayPal will allow those without debit cards. We need to make sure Yu and the Kickstarter managers know this.

We also need to use the momentum of the Twitter thunderclaps by doing this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47801

That will go far beyond the Kickstarter end date.

Something I was also thinking about today: why not do thunderclaps on either the 1st or 2nd of each month to @sega(or whatever their Twitter is) and let them know they need to cash in on this Shenmue buzz and give us HD remakes or even digital downloads on ps4 and pc. That would be the best bet, too, to get one of those YouTube people to play it.

I have sent a heartfelt plea through email to Pewdiepie regarding the Kickstarter.
If he replies, I'll let you all know. Fingers crossed [-o<

What about a video with various game journalists and youtube celebs commenting giving each a few seconds to describe some of the feelings they had with the game. Properly edited might be cool but probably a lot of work to get done.

I can think of a few Youtube celebs who are diehard fans of Shenmue such as the Happy Console Gamer, ProjectCoe and Lord Karnage from ClassicGameRoom seems to be a big Sega and Yu Suzuki fan as well. I'm sure others will think of more.

^ Well if you think of something, do it. No time for discussion right now.

This video is great for people who never played the series, I tweeted it out to big name Youtuers and Twitter accounts, hopefully we'll get a RT or two. But you guys should spread it as well.

We should get in touch with seganerds, neogaf and the actual sega forum members.

Seems like seganerds isn't a very active community :S

we need a video that shows the nature of the fans out pouring and the game. a vieo showing the journey of ryu with some of the nice music. the fans excitement, a collection of videos and slow mo transitions (guy crying at e3, yu, gametrailers staff) the dinner backers, some interviews with some of the fans that are very passionate, a few different lagnauges with people speaking in their mother tongue and translations.

If we can get this video out there, it may just can touch people and get us to our goal. any ideas?

And a new one:

Yeah, I know they aren't aesthetically pleasing, if someone with superior Photoshop skills would make better looking versions of these, it would be a great help.
