It is worth calling out YSnet/Biscay if they can do something (unless you're considering they actually give some publicity and precious post-money to the franchise).


Seems too soon for this kind of deal. The PayPal campaign is still up :???:

In my opinion, they are just trying to make quick and easy money on the back of Shenmue 3 actual hype.

The FNAC website shows a release date of 31 december 2016 :roll:

There is officially no confirmation of a physical retail version at the moment!!!

The price on this site is higher compared to the price for an exclusive PS4 Physical copy if you are a backer. In other words... a s****y deal!

And most of all, this s**t actually STEALS money from the game developpement. :evil:



How does the game development lose out? Ultimately if people want the game and they buy it from this site. The site will just buy the game on paypal and pass it straight on. Therefofe more sales for game developers because games sold. The site just took a slicr but if it increases exposure - why not

No, they won't. There is zero indication that this is what is happening.

So how will this company get a hold of the game prior to release?

I'm not saying its right but its like sellers of new stuff on ebay. They buy something for a certain price somewhere and sell it on at a profit. The only way this website can do it is they will buy off paypal and take the profits themselves. Everyones a winner except the purchaser who paid more than needed but thats their fault for not doing their research

They won't be buying it off PayPal. Amazon etc. do this with a ton of games years before their release, some that never even get released (they were taking preorders for Duke Nukem Forever from 2001 onwards, some sites will offer Half-Life 3 for pre-order from time to time).

What Amir said. It's super shady to take cash preorders on games that are still going through crowdfunding.

I think at this point the Paypal $$ is basically being put into the reward fulfillment fund.

Wait and see what happens next 27th... if this isn't the right time to reboost the campaign, I don't know when it would be.

I think we'll get a boost from the 27th. Back when the new screens came out the campaign had a little boost from the general buzz about the project. Some video and a trickle of new information might bring in some more fresh blood onto the project.

That, and I still trust Cédric Biscay repeating several times that the PC version reward will come.
Magic Moncao would be a good time to update the rewards page.

Reward fulfillment costs less than the price of the reward. That's the whole point.

Bit of a nice boost, but was kind of hoping for more now that the game actually impressed people and started to turn a few heads.
