Bringing this thread back, because... you've seen the Twitch stream. Awesome Japan... there are no words. I went to the Fangamer website and sent them a message in the chat section letting them know I would LOVE to see them take a more active role on the Shenmue Kickstarter and bring their expertise...

Fabulous! Keep the upvotes coming people, we have now got this article on to main page of the popular section! Let's take it all the way to the top!

3AM UK time kinda sucks. I know it's the morning for Japan but it makes sense for Yu to do it of a night so more people in the west watch. It's 3am? Ugh, even worse. At least it's not too late for the American audiences. Definitely prime-time here on the West Coast in the US. Looking forward to it!...

New article from Gamasutra (popular site with over 200k Twitter followers) continues the positive trend of clarification coverage. Yu Suzuki sheds light on Sony's involvement with Shenmue 3 - Gama Sutra http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/246961/Yu_Suzuki_sheds_light_on_Sonys_involvement_with_Shenmue...

That's really disgusting, it's sad some people just have such a negative outlook towards this game. And why? What's not to be happy about? Best not to get too distracted by sites like Polygon, they just troll for clicks. The GameSpot article is a big deal. Anything GameSpot posts basically gets cop...

There is an article over at Polygon as well... But looking at the comments, it seems hopeless: http://i.imgur.com/peHYCTE.png Ben Kuchera at Polygon has been trolling Shenmue harder than anyone. Polygon goes wherever the clicks are, and their Gawker-esque commentators just like drama. Nothing to be...

Gamespot just tweeted the article out. Re-tweeting it like wild will help it reach more people and show up near top of twitter results. https://twitter.com/gamespot/status/614015393322168322 EDIT: Article just retweeted by Shuhei Yoshida to his 181k followers. A good sign that this is the official w...

New article up on GameSpot. Provides clarification, which is great for getting the word out to the masses and diffusing ill-founded hysteria. Anyone with a Gamespot account should upvote this and help it reach the "popular" section of the gamespot front page. http://www.gamespot.com/articl...

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

Active in the Shenmue GAF thread. We're with you guys, don't worry.

This video is fantastic and just the sort of thing that will get new backers I think. This is the one to be sharing on social media if you ask me, relentlessly upbeat, and controversy busting.

Spread this!

Charming guy. Great to hear about his Shenmue experience.

Where is Yu Suzuki going to get the money to do this, unless FanGamer is willing to do it just out of love for Shenmue? People might find the Awesome Japan team terrible at their job, but have any of us maybe thought that it was all Yu Suzuki could come up with given his budget? As far as I know, Y...
