Perhaps the reason for putting 'small' stretch goals as mini-games and subtitles first is that a bigger portion of the money is actually going to general development of the game? I mean 500k for some extra mini-games alone? I doubt it. Also, the translation for the subtitles should be done by the fa...

Still no backers and I think it's still too expensive. Maybe at $2,500 someone will bite or don't bother and remove the reward.

I don't like it either. Fake reaction are fake reactions. People don't like to be fooled and with the bad press we already had regarding Sony's so called funding, this could backfire pretty bad. You have a point however about the need for new blood. I also think that most of us are maxed out at this...

I accept the apology but to show their sincerity make Joel (Fanta) Tess an NPC in Shenmue III. He could bump into Ryo while drinking Fanta and then give a sincere apology. lol they should add a tier for that. "add red shirt guy in the game" I'm sure people would donate just to see that. A...

They should change it to something like $2,500, that might work.

If there was no placeholder, or something that looked more final, he would have used that as ''further proof'' of Sony's ''involvement''.

And how surprising, Kotaku continues their hate campaign against this game. http://www.donotlink.com/fsl5

Wow! What a day! Just imagine how much more could be generated from a physical Xbox announcement... They shouldn't do it unless Microsoft offers a similar deal as Sony -> help with porting the game and marketing. Otherwise it is a waste of money that could have been used for improvement of the game.

They should reconsider the price for this. The I am Shenmue 3 reward is already sold out, while no one has pledged for this yet. And I'm not surprised. The price difference for what you is too big. Get your face in the game and your name in the guest register for 1500$ or just your face in the game ...

I might be really naive, but I think anyone who's interested enough to look at the page will do their own investigating if they find the Kickstarter information insufficient. After all, it is about to become the second most funded Kickstarter of all time. That's worth investigating. There has to be...

Surely, everyone is overjoyed by the announcement of the PS4 physical release and the pledges going up. But take a critical look, it's a sloppy piece of work really. Using low-res pictures (the picture of Wan Chai in particular is just awful) and the description looks like it was written by someone...

The paypal option will most likely be given post KS. I was thinking this, too. Paypal wouldn't show up in the total KS funding, right? I think it's good press if you can say "Shenmue III: The most funded videogame in kickstarter history" and a paypal option might take some funds away from...
