A quick whois lookup does indicate shenmue.com is pointing at AWS (amazon web services) servers.

No clue how people know that happened recently though.

Apologies if someone already mentioned this but shibuya recently tweeted that they've opened a japanese branch.

I know a lot of us get delusional when e3 comes around, but it really feels like we're been building up to this moment for years now... - yu reemerges from the darkness and starts giving interviews, acknowledges shenmue demand and his willingness to make it - yu revisits shenmue at gdc post-mortem -...

Had to dig out the old account for this one, have to say it's been a pleasure sharing the blessing/curse of shenmue with all of you these past 10 years.

Worst case scenario, we learn more about the franchise we love.

Best case scenario...

1 hour to go!

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/11/01/keep-the-faith-tornquist-talks-dreamfall-chapters/ Besides the shenmue series, one of my favorite video game francises is The Longest Journey (TLA) saga. This includes the original TLA and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Much like Shenmue 2, Dreamfall ends ...

I'd give $350 bucks without batting an eye. Anything more would require some additional motivation (my contribution is the difference in getting this made, dinner with YS, etc)

Fair enough man. I love shenmue, im assuming you do too, let's be friends

Well first off If you follow gaming at all it's a decently well known website. Secondly I was feeling lazy on my iPhone. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/335480/features/should-sega-kickstarter-shenmue-3/ Cool story bro.

Cool story bro. Anyways computerandvideogames.com has an article on kickstarting shenmue 3. Check it out! We have orange names for those who showed they gave a good couple shits about Shenmue & the dojo. I gave every ;ast dollar I had at the end of each month til I had no bank account. Peter liv...

Something I've been thinking about is a creating a simple, clean website where people could pledge how much they would theoretically contribute if shenmue had a kickstarter campaign. The problem is that since there wouldn't be any consequence for pledging thousands of fake dollars, there isn't any c...

Hey guys, IGN has an article about what all this could mean for other gaming projects. Shenmue 3 is deliberately mentioned at the end of this list as the one thing everyone at IGN agreed this could have real meaning for. There's also a little poll at the end of the article for which project people w...

It's a bummer but you guys are probably right about the cultural aspect of crowdfunding. The frustrating thing is that it isn't simply begging, it's more like getting people to commit to buying the game before making it. I would imagine the lowest contribution tier for a Shenmue kickstarter project ...

If anyone could take lead on an idea like this i feel like its gotta be Lan Di Sama and that guy from Shenmue Master who did the interviews recently. Those personalities were what i had in mind when starting this thread.

Well I emailed ysnet suggesting they look into all this. Obviously it'll never get read, but i feel a small sense of satisfaction.

The thing with Kickstarter is that these aren't pure donations. Basically different levels of contribution get different awards associated with them. For example, on this DoubleFine game, everyone who gives $15 or more dollars gets a copy of the game they're making once it's released. Larger contrib...
