What the hell are you talking about? The facial expressions?

You do realize the game is far from being finished yet?

If you came back only to show how truly you support Shenmue 3, you can go back from where you come.

Sick of these people...

Me too. I'm not sure what he means by "no emotion" but even still, what's with the negativity? I thought the trailer was very good and even if you don't like it, you've got to consider that it is WIP footage so just calm down and wait, you'll surely be impressed when you see the final product!

It's the final push guys.

it will continue on way past release of shenmue 3 even. they want to fund shenmue 4 as well of course.

So will I ever be able to upgrade my kickstarter pledge? I'm ready to give more money, and upgrade my reward.

Get in touch with the crew who run the Kickstarter. They might be able to help, or at least give you more information if pledge upgrades are still planned.

Yes.

With the intervention of Deep Silver, I find myself wondering if this will stay open. It hasn't been updated in a long time and I wonder if upgradable tiers will be a thing, still.

Even if they revamped the goals and said "Okay, we only need X amount to fully realize Bailu. We've reached the others via DS." But then clickbaity, cynical journalists/gamers would bitch.

I'd like to go from the $300 to $500 tier this year if possible..upgradable tiers would enable a great source of extra income.

Here's a message I received yesterday from YSnet regarding this.

"Hello Staplepuffs27,
Thank you very much for your message.
We were hoping to install a system during this Slacker Backer campaign that would allow Kickstarter backers to do add-ons and upgrades during the Backer Survey.
When more information becomes available, an official announcement will be made on the Kickstarter page at http://bit.ly/saveshenmue, the homepage at https://shenmue.link/… and on Twitter @Shenmue_3
For now we would like to ask that you please hold out a little longer for more news. Thanks again for your support and for Saving Shenmue!
Joel & the Shenmue III Team"

It would be interesting to know how many donations the teaser/trailer generated, but for now it's impossible to know, I guess...

Its a bit weird now with Deep Silver involved.
Will Deep Silver make other Collectors Editions or will they use the one from the Kickstarter/Paypal site
or will they just sell normal editions?
Will Deep Silver have other pre order stuff for the people who couldnt buy a version on Kickstarter/Paypal?
Is the Kickstarter/Paypal game case the same as the one that you can buy in your store later?
Are all of the languages available for every game version?
For how long is the Kickstarter Paypal pre-order available?

The answer to this one is no.

The answer to one of the others may be revealed soon.

1st September 2017

$6,797,978 (+$13,739)

74,894 Backers (+195)

$443,19 a day on average

So close to $6.8 million. That would be a nice number to close the slacker backer on too.

the lack of this option deeply annoys me as well.
