1.5 mil... 0.5mil left... Waited 14 years for this is unbelievable.

I don't get why Sony didn't Pony up the 2 mil, but thanks to them for giving Yu the platform. I got an X1, but looks like I will have to pick up a PS4 come Dec 2017 for this game! (assuming my laptop can't handle it)

Still can't believe it, 14 years in the making

Well done guys well done :) $500 pledged!!

I have a feeling its not just kickstarter money funding this though, PS4 exlcusive (with PC).. Sony has definatly thrown money their way to add on top of the kickstart funds.

Hi guys , long time reader of the forum and new time member , just pledged $300 for the signed set . I am so happy to see its already reached 1 and a half million and people are just waking up here in the UK and Europe .

Shenmue is my favourite sega game and I play it annually at Christmas time. Loved the sequel too

Hope your site continues to grow now, and respect to all the older members who were here supporting shenmue and keeping the smallest of leads in the news .

WOW! last time I've logged was... huh, in 2005! I cant believe this is actually happening.

Donated 60. Cant really donate more then that right now.

Well, if we're getting Shenmue 3 we may get Half Life 3 as well some day. Seems like the impossible can happen.

i don't know what's better; all the naysayers over the years of rumors/hopes that were on about shenmue's overrated/it won't sell/etc etc (jeff gerstman, i'm lookin in your direction, haha) or the fact that this site houses most of the people i legit believe never gave up hope in the face of all that. We saw Sega constantly refocus away from it (we'd get a nod with a Ryo racer, but then Shenmue 1/2 HD get shit canned along with SOA, etc), and the talk of Yu Suzuki doing mobile games/breaking off etc...and here we are.

again, big debt owed to Sony - look at that all star lineup on the KS page, people. we got the band back together! this could've been a cash-in, but it's being done right, and finally, Yu Suzuki will both get to finish his magnum opus & see a portion of the respect he deserves. it feels absolutely surreal.

...so yeah, what games do you think will be in the arcade this time? Plant Harriers, After Burner Climax?!

Holy shit!

Like a lot of people here, it took me a while to guess my password for this forum as it was roughly 10 years since I'd last logged in, though I've been lurking around continuously since.

I'm now 28, I haven't picked up a computer game in probably 5 years, but I haven't been this excited for quite some time! I could only afford to donate $185 as I'm saving money to travel around the world (ironically I'm planning to visit a few Shenmue locations including Guilin), but big props to everyone on here who has also donated, and thanks for keeping up the hype as much as possible over the last 14 years!

Can't believe this is actually happening!
