I have mixed feelings...On one hand is shenmue 3 so Im supporting no matter what and want the game.
On the other hand I want an epic Shenmue 3 game that has all the features that we are used to shenmue games like a vast living breathing world which of course takes alot of money.
Yu Suzuki seems satisfied just to end the story but that doesn't bring satisfaction to me....It's not about the story, if it was about the story, Yu Suzuki could've made a comic or just came to the Dojo forums and tell us what happened...It's about the game, thats what I truly care about the gameplay,the immersive atmosphere...The story interest me but the game is much more important.
In my opinion the Kickstarter goal should've been $15 million at the very least... The tone should be set high for such an epic game, it would've motivated people much more knowing that $15 million is needed to make a true shenmue experience or we get nothing.
It saddens me that a $40-$70 million game has been reduced to a $12 million or less game(Assuming Sony puts in around half).
Now lots of Shenmue 1 ideas were revolutionary at the time so Im sure cost have gone down for somethings shenmue has done, so $15 million IMO is the bare minimum we need for a proper shenmue game assuming Sony backs it up decently.
Of course a $15 million Kickstarter would've need a much better trailer showing of game mechanics/Atmosphere.
