Retain the Past or Look to the Future?
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2015 1:18 amSo, in a frustrating predicament. I'm currently in one of the skintest positions I've been in for a while, and have Father's Day and a few birthdays over the coming weeks. This leaves me with - at best - a couple of quid to pledge to the Kickstarter.
However...
I have a theory.
Shenmue's making headlines right now. This means that the demand for a Dreamcast and copies of Shenmue I & II go up, right? As demand goes up, value goes up, so why not sell my DC and games to forward the proceeds to Shenmue III?
Well, because then I won't be able to play Shenmue (not particularly arsed about II coz I've got 2X) NullDC doesn't provide the same experience, and Shen3's gonna be more than two years in the making. It's blatantly getting funded, but I wanna see it hit every stretch goal on there.
So, I'm asking the only people who can think of this in the correct context: you lot.
Be a part of the franchise's future, or hold onto the past?
