Shenmue Dojo

Just mentioned it to this big tech news reporter on periscope (Scott Budman), and he said Shenmue! that's a blast from the past, I didn't even know there was a kickstarter for it. He said that someone in the news room was a massive Shenmue fan, and would mention it to him.

Weird that it's still new news to some people, especially big news reporters like this.

Have they been living under a rock? Its been on mainstream news, nevermind just gaming news.

Thats what I have expected over the past few days as the hype has grew. People will want to be a part of this more and more, as the figure creeps higher, and the clock runs out.

E3 eluded a tech reporter?

New world record by the time I wake up?

Yeah weird, i'll try and get a vid cap of when I asked him. Really surprised me, he is very Apple and tech like that, and follows stock prices, so I guess it's possible to miss E3, or video game news if you're not that much into video games, he's also a fair bit older aswell, but he did know about Shenmue

At this rate Shenmue 3 might go over 6m.

I heard that Shenmue was mentioned on the Double Fine Adventure kickstarter. I don't know what they said though, updates are backer only.

BBC1, ITV1, Channel 4?

How on earth did I forget about the publicity of beating Bloodstained and any new backers that might attract, to Hell with my earlier post about not caring, we need to get this done QUICK!

Yeah I just got the email:

Shenmue 3

There’s only one more day to back Shenmue 3, the long awaited sequel that was announced would be partially funded through Kickstarter at this year’s E3. They’re way over their target already, but don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of gaming history!

Here's the bit with his reaction if anyone was interested.

Did Kavinsky pledge? (not that I know anything about this dude)

Just saw these from someone on facebook..

Sorry I didn't mean for it to come across as doubting you! I just thought with tech stuff being shown at E3 (like the Xbox Minecraft scenario) he would have been there or at least watching via stream!
