You never can tell on forums.

Either way, it seems we're getting another Shenmue :)

Do you think Suzuki will actually end it on three though or keep going?

Crackdude is the key to Shenmue III.

Oh, that's what EDM is. Early 90s drunk music...

So I think the Kickstarter is been planned pretty badly...

IMO they should have reassured from the start that need 10 million, and IMO if it woudn't reach it they should have just make split in chapters rather than say "barebone experience, just story". Like Shenmue III Chapter I

Also I don't think subtitles in all these languages weren't necesarry...just English and maybe Chinese, waste of money imo!

Everyone's suddenly an expert on how to run a successful Kickstarter! ;) Man, there's never been any Kickstarter for a game that has gotten anywhere near $10 million. People would have thought it was an insane goal. And remember the thing about a Kickstarter is that it has to reach its goal - if it doesn't, it gets none of the pledged money. So they were right to aim for a smaller amount. And by the way $2 million is a high goal by Kickstarter standards.

That was a good read. Reading more about the battle system puts my fears to rest.

I couldn't be more excited for Shenmue 3... I seriously hope he gets enough money, through kick starter or other funds to make the Shenmue 3 he's talking about... Sounds incredible.

I know people want a "true" sequel, but 10 million is a lot to ask for and I really think the fans should just spread the word and not mention the 10 million. It just raises the question of why only ask for 2 if that's the case and it devalues the product if Yu Suzuki doesn't get it.

Thinking about it now, I also think the stretch goals are badly thought of. Say we can fund the first village and nothing else, it could create a lob sided experience where there's loads to do at the start, but nothing later on. Think it might of been best to just say more interactions, more events, more detail etc. That way they could of scattered bits here and there throughout the game.

Although, to be fair, it might also work in the games favour if Suzuki changes the design to show Ryo has reached more barren places.
