Better than trying to cram all remaining 10 chapters into a half arsed game imo.

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
People were spreading rumours that sony was going to back it so there is no need to give anymore. Perhaps MS employees were behind it? lol

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
looks like others are watching tbe shen mue 3 kickstarter to see what other shelved games can still be made using free money:

now that mighty no. 9 exists, it seems a bit late to care about megaman. The whole point of mighty no.9 was to replace him so that capcom can't control the fate of game series that fans love but are seen as too risky. Personally I think MM games should just die off now like castlevania. Creators are better when games wre smaller and more low budget. Capcom is only interested in the COD money. The one big franchise they milk every year which never fails because of high sales. The only way for megaman to survive is as smash bros character. Or maybe nintendo buying the rights to it like with bayonetta 2.

Or perhaps EB staff were since the game has so far only been announced as Digital only so no pre sales for them!

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
Sidescrolling 2d style games don't normally sell at retail as full price stuff apart from nintendo platformers. That is why I suggested that for megaman to survive nintendo just purchases license to create new sequels since most of the MM stuff were featured on nintendo platforms. The capcom you see today isn't the 80s capcom.
Just have nintendo headhunt the talent behind the old MM games and they make more sequels. Forget capcom. They want MM dead.
Nintendo is the only company left that gives us 2d sequels to the mascots from the past. They understand platform action games. Capcom is like EA now. The money is more important than progression in the art. Street Fighter 4 almost didn't get greenlight. Shows how little care they have for classic stuff.
EB games can still sell physical games of megaman as long as they get ebgames exclusive amiibos or something. A lot of these retailers now rely more on profits from selling videogame merchandise than the actual games. Go into gametraders today and its full of comics/manga, anime, toys, statues, t-shirts, cosplay crap more than games lol
They also only seem to release Resident Evil 1 after The Evil Within came out. They don't like risk. They wait for the clone/spiritual sucessor game to come out first to guage how well it does then cash in on the trend with re-releases of the old games. (too lazy to make new games) This means they are only going to care if big money is made, not if the series needs a sequel because of fan demand for it.
case in point:

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
Yeah the story of Sony backing it (gauging interest from the kickstarter) would have been bad for the kickstarter campaign, why back it if you think Sony will?

Because if everyone had your attitude it wouldn't exist.
I see confirmation that it won't finish at 3. That's not really surprising given that was detailed over a decade ago.

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
I see lots of people wanting closure, the sad thing is it may not happen if Yu wants to drag this out and he isn't able to make more games, which seeing how the kickstarter has stalled might be a possibility.Madmya wrote:Because if everyone had your attitude it wouldn't exist.

I think Yu needs to accept this is a niche series from a dead console over 10+ years ago that sold poorly in the west. He's extracted every last cent out of fans that remain or care, he's had the best publicity possible with e3, might be better to just conclude things in 3 for all involved.

We will probably be in the same situation after SH3 if they don't rap it up. Wait another decade, finding someone to fund it, etc.

Maybe. I don't want a watered down story for the sake of conclusion. I'd imagine opinions would be split on this.

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
A couple of Q's answered in the Email Update for those that haven't seen.
How will Shenmue 3 be different at $3 million, $5 and $10 million?
At the $3 million level, Shenmue 3 will be more story oriented. Going to $5 million, there will be features not present in 1 & 2, features that I really want to see in Shenmue 3 like the Warring Kingdom scenarios. At the $10 million level, the area Choubu will get a big expansion, and be like Dobuita in Yokosuka where you will have a lot of options to explore and have fun. I hope we can shoot for that goal and make Shenmue 3 more open world like.
Is Shenmue 3 the end of the story?
The initial story line contains 11 chapters. I thought about condensing the story in 3, but I thought that necessitate cutting too much of the story out, so I decided not to go that route. Many fans really want to see the whole story.
What is the Rapport System?
It will be a feature that governs Shenhua’s attitude towards you, depending on your conversations or actions you take. I believe it will provide a new twist to Shenmue.
What is the Skill Tree System?
There will be many different ways to obtain Technique Scrolls from—from the shops, mini-games, betting games, and quests. Those technique scrolls will allow you to use those techniques right away in battle as a QTE event. The Advanced Skill Techniques and Arcane Skill Techniques are managed in a tree diagram where you fill up the tree to complete your martial arts learning.
What are the Baisha Stretch Goals?
The $5 million Srtetch Goal will focus on the area, Baisha. This will be something new and fun I would like to include for Shenmue 3. It will include siege and infiltration events based off the Warring Kingdoms period in Chinese history. The events will be very Shenmue-like and will fit into the game naturally and will not be difficult to grasp. There is also the Character Perspective System. It is a character change system, but in Shenmue, it will work a little differently. It will allow you to play as Shenhua or Ren, besides Ryo. The choices that Shenhua or Ren would make would be different from those of Ryo’s because their personalities are different. It will bring out their individual character and add another element of enjoyment to the game. There are Stretch Goals up to $11 million, and I would like to explain those next week!

Well it's obvious they won't reach 10mil by the time KS ends, buy I hope they can still allow funds through their website like Star Citizen. I want that 10mil!

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
That would be the best option and would probably work if they keep showing progress such as character models, locations and some trailers at least.

Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
$10mil he's dreaming, it's stalled fast it's going to struggle to make $4mil. Those rumours that Sony would fund it pretty much killed it and unless there's a concerted effort to put that record straight that is not happening it won't move. Plus you make a Kickstarter saying you only need $2mil then people won't bother after that as it's already funded, should have aimed at $5mil to start with.
Vzzzbx, you lose again!

Kickstarters usually pick up on its last day, should easily make 5mil.

Everyone talking like completely normal kickstarter behaviour is the death of it.

Corey Marshall ( English voice actor ) confirmed for Shenmue 3.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
[Hello Everyone!
Just in! Corey Marshall, the actor who did the English voice acting for the main character Ryo in Shenmue 1 & 2, is now confirmed for Shenmue 3!
The support for Mr. Marshall to reprise his role as Ryo has been just overwhelming!
We would all like to thank Corey-san for coming back, and especially for all the support he has given to Shenmue over the years.
Corey is as excited for Shenmue's return as we all are, and to help out, he has magnanimously offered his voice for a special reward. Yes, that's right--get a personal message from Ryo! Do not miss this opportunity to get a very special message from Ryo himself. Maybe one those classic Ryo one-liners?
The $1,000 Reward for the Corey Marshall as Ryo Voice Message will include the $500 Reward. The Ryo Voice Message will also be included in the Rewards for $2,000 and up.

I'm kinda glad that the they got Corey back.. I like my Ryo Hazuki emotionally stunted in his behaviour and his voice acting.
Re: SHENMUE III IS REAL OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK SAILORS!!
Ikr.
Though honestly I missed it in Shenmue 2 for that exact reason.

What if Yu Suzuki used some of the money to port HD shenmue 1 and 2 to PS4?t0mby wrote:That would be the best option and would probably work if they keep showing progress such as character models, locations and some trailers at least.
I think it would help a lot to introduce new people who were not even around when the original games came out.
Sony should pay for that imo. They helped kill the dreamcast so they need to contribute something. Sony has no reason to hate sega anymore since the yakuaza games are exclusive to sony platforms. Nintendo have made peace by putting sonic in their games already. What's sony done? Jack shit. They caused sonic games to suck by causing Sega to go third party.
Sega as hardware manufacturer = good sonic games.
Sega as third party whore = sonic games that are made as yearly COD sequels to cash in on the Sonic name with its soul ripped out.
