Shit! Just look at Ryo and Shenhua's faces. Butthurt is infectious.

Oh, what? Another "name a thing?" Shit.

So this is what they've stayed up til 1AM Japan time working on? This and an English translation of YuAskYu#2, which the fans already translated 2 days ago?

Oh yeah, silly me. Can't forget the new video thumbnail. Thanks guys!

Practice that jig. It'll happen.

I was a bit disappointed to see all the votes for Ryo. Of course I like the character but I saw this as an opportunity to learn a bit more about other characters. Due to question phrasing I think. They explained the prize but IIRC asked "Who is your favourite character in Shenmue?" or som...

I went for $300 too. Definitely one of the better tiers on there.

Re illustration/s, unknown at this point, but I'd say it's a safe bet the KS image is just a placeholder example, like the box art.

pretty much my thoughts too. we are currently on track to do the same as yesterday (53-54k).. still no evidence of any supposed up turn at the end.. I'm not surprised but thought I'd put it out there for those who are convinced there will be one. if the steady 50k a day continues which it has for a...

Some very elaborately made points here (especially re Passport Ryo - had no idea he was basically ripped for All Stars). But, as Suzuki himself has said, he's unhappy with the "current" Ryo and it's a work in progress. I have no doubt he'll fix it because let's face it - given the KS fundi...

Just makes liking Xuiying more hipster.

He just used that double-handed killer blow on the soil. It popped out like toast.

And isn't there a shovel in the Hazuki garden somewhere?

Donation-wise, today's a good day. On course for the 3rd daily rise in a row. $5M in sight! 8) However, none of it's due to this new tier. 0 backers after 5 hours? Ouch. With 33 different tiers now, you've gotta pity the potential backers who clicked "Remind Me Later" on July 16th. They no...

In terms of items, the only thing I can think of is proper rellica mirrors, made from acutal stone or marble if stone is not possible. $7000 tier. "I do not know if we can do it, but at least we will try to have one". That suggests negotiations / last-minute wrangling to me. So I doubt it...

I'm worried about ports though. Shenmue's engine is a bit clunky and far from perfect. .. I'm just scared that awful ports are going to put people off Shenmue III. If someone is interested in Shenmue III, chances are they'll research the first 2 anyway. If nothing else (ie. improved controls - let'...

Yeah, flippin' love this guy. Massive Shenmue cocktease though.

If they pull off Shenmue HD as a Reward ("not sure" suggests some negotiations) we'll sail past $5M I think. I'd bank on HD rather than Xbox at this point, but either would be huge.

Ryo has one, but that's about it.

It's too bad because the Xbox version's realtime shadows were a real improvement over DC.

The BGM fade out can be "reset" by pausing / unpausing the game but yeah.. It's normal stinky 360 emulation of IIx. Lack of realtime building shadows was another one.
