IMO you should lose the "Will the final game be at full price?" question. We've been badgering the guy for years to get S3 made, how is this gonna look? Like we're not willing to buy it if it's full price? The game is being included in the Kickstarter pledges anyway. Also change "Wil...

Thought $510 was my limit, but I'm in for an extra $30. I really want to see this game be the best that it can be.

Do you (SEGA) still have the original files from shenmue 1 and 2 ? If so how much of it can be reused for the next game ? He mentioned in the French interview about Sega letting him use assets from 1 and 2 to help with development. I don't think that means textures or models or anything, but more l...

In addition to the list by Himuro: How much of Shenmue III was developed on Shenmue Saturn? How much of Shenmue III was developed on Dreamcast/Xbox? Do you see Shenmue III sharing the scope and prowess that the first two had? Not necessarily huge open worlds since we know we will be in remote China...

I remember waiting ages to load the QuickTime trailer on my crappy ISDN connection. Watched Xiuying wave her arms about 50 times while waiting for the rest of the trailer to load.

One major thing the Kickstarter campaign is lacking is scarcity in its rewards (besides the 4 x $10,000 rewards). I honestly thought the $500 tier would be limited to at most 1000. There needs to be more scarce rewards so people feel a sense of urgency to donate a certain amount before a reward disa...

I hate DLC.

But I would buy every piece of DLC for Shenmue III I hope if the stretch goals aren't realised that they propose them at a later date as DLC.

Yeah but what does it mean "build relationships with characters" ?? We know he talked about those psychological tests that shenhua would give him, but how will it work ? Skill tree, again is a vague term, most games have it, how will it work ?? Gain XP and get a new kick ?? Ryo will have ...

What I want is to really know what they're talking about. What do you think has more impact: -x 5 minigames Or saying: - Lucky Hit, Gambling, fishing, duck races and a new job minigames ! We are now at 60k from the "rapport system" and we don't know what it is, maybe some people like the ...

The Shenmue.link page is certainly more stylish than the Kickstarter one, but it also needs some proofreading for the English version at least. Took me a while to realise there even was an English version, the washed out navbar at the top doesn't help. I'd be happy to send them corrections for free,...

My guess is the fight with Lan Di will be the conclusion at least, since that's what a lot of fans have been waiting for. But the continuation of the story beyond that (Ryo finding a sense of purpose afterwards as Yu talked about at GDC 2014) would be in a Shenmue IV if III is successful enough.

What dog is he talking about ??? lol I think it's a joke on how in certain open-world games like Fable 2 and Fallout 4 you get a dog companion, but Yu said (most likely jokingly) there's probably an opportunity to have a goat one instead. Maybe the goat you saved in Shenmue II becomes your loyal co...

http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/17/8795017/shenmue-on-a-budget A tiny bit more clarity on Shenmue III's support. Thanks for this, most important paragraph: "To that point, Suzuki said he conceptualized the game in such a way that it’s scalable to different budgets. At the lower end of the spectr...

This makes me wonder how much Sony are actually going to be backing the game. On one hand, I get that they've said Kickstarter was a way of asking the fans to put their money where their mouth is, but on the other hand, the fact that Free Battles, Subtitles etc. are being thrown around as possible ...
