On one hand, I get that they've said Kickstarter was a way of asking the fans to put their money where their mouth is, but on the other hand, the fact that Free Battles, Subtitles etc. are being thrown around as possible stretch goals may mean that Sony aren't going to be backing it as much as we think. Surely those kinda features would be givens for a Shenmue game with comfortable financial support?
Maybe they'll match the kickstarter donations, i.e. if we raise $5 mill they'll pitch in another $5 mill? Who knows, but I don't think extra areas will actually come as cheap as the stretch goals make them out to be, there'll be some extra funding definitely to realise those fully.
