Wait what Shuhei Yoshida Contributed $29 to Shenmue kickstarter

[Leasy]

They are entitled to know what they are getting into. Put simply: the campaign and its manager, Ys Net, failed to fulfill its obligation in the initial pitch. As the project manager, the buck stops with Suzuki. Because the campaign didn't state that there were other funders, if Sony or other investors pull out, Suzuki is still responsible for delivering the game as promised with the funding available via the Kickstarter. It's unlikely that this will happen, but the way the pitch was framed sets up expectations that seem exceedingly difficult to meet without outside funding sources. The first Shenmue game cost $47 million to make, so the $2 million won't go far in making a true sequel that fans expect Suzuki to deliver. That primary funding coming from other sources is essential to this project's potential success.

I have both systems but this past gen we as consumers are getting fukked by companies. Now you have Sony stating that they might do more funding for games are you fukking kiddin me when these games cannot be fully operational out the case. fukk outta here. This shyt going the way of DLC.

Honestly I don't think Kickstarters are all that bad I mean your paying $29.00 for a game you support which beats 60 dollars at gamestop. Even though it's digital copy. It's almost like pre-ordering.
Y'all dudes are so dikkriding that y'all blind.

More funding than Microsoft provided

Sony's handling of this was real fukked up.

Of course nobody here will admit it cause y'all love Sony but any other publisher putting a kickstarter on an E3 stage would have been met with all types of shade.

Then they overstate their own involvement in order gain the goodwill of shenmue fans, which causes the kickstarter to stall because people thought at 2mil Sony would foot the rest of the bill.

Now we find out Sony isnt funding much of shyt, and people are all confused about the scope of the game, and who's funding it.

Ironically sony sabotaged the game, all so they could capture some of the hype for themselves.

The image of kickstarter (at least it USED to be) was the place where the underdogs go for funding. They still aren't 100% clear on how much Sony is actually involved. IMO it looks bad for kickstarter, not so much for Sony.

this game wouldnt be possible without Sonys investment, advertisement and fan donations. people beg for years about this game and its finally happening.

Why is Sony and Shenmue asking for 10 million dollars.

 

[The Mad Titan]

I think it looks bad for both imo.

Still there are to many questions, would we get the same shenmue 3 (or very similar one) at 2 million that we gonna get at the 10 he's asking for? Is this a pc and playstation only thing? Are other platforms and companies involved? How much is sony invested? If it oesn't get the 10 million is it still happening? Will it be in small parts or a full blown game... This kickstart is a cluster and comes off shady no one really knows anything or are they saying much.

When you kickstart all that is suppose to be transparent because its happening because of the FANS money...

 

[The Mad Titan]

blatantly asking for money to add more stuff is not what a established gaming sector of a huge company should be doing period...


And if microsoft would have pulled this people would have eat them alive.


M$ the billion dollar company supports a kickerstar for a game they are backing.

Ding Ding but it's Sony so they suck that shyt up. I just can't believe this and the game looks worst than Dreamcast wtf.

As much as fans dont want to admit it, Sony's involvement pretty much fukked up this campaign. Once people found out Sony was providing some funding (the amount still isnt clear) the contributions immediately fell off a cliff. And now Yu Suzuki is out here begging for more money and trying to distance his game as far away from Sony as possible.
