As a backer, I will contribute with my views in all outlets available to me including in person if necessary because I own that to the team making the game. They can't improve something if they think it's perfect.

Oh really? Awesome! I hope to meet you soon after so long. At what location do you think that could be?

I'd love to see that conversation. At what point when you were backing the project did you think you had any say in it? That you were a consultant? An artist? A storywriter? An editor? A musician? A marketing manager? A promotional supervisor?

What did you give your money for? Because it was absolutely crystal clear as day and night that you were a backer. The game provided will be of his creation. You backed that on the knowledge you had at that point in time, based on his previous works and, guess what, his previous works were not created WITH YOUR INPUT!


Honest question, how much younger than Yu Suzuki are you? How much more technical, professional, or life experience do you have than Yu Suzuki. Please answer me that question.

But you should also understand that this is Yu Suzuki's vision and no-one else's.
Trust the guy in his moment of need.

I have to ask, did people get so worked up like this when they saw work-in-progress images of Shenmue & Shenmue 2 back in the day?
And yet, everything turned out just fine, didn't it?

I think a lot of over-reacting is going on in this thread.

Everything will be fine. Character models are worked on right up until release, even though yes, these models are in a press release.

Peter said it best - we actually have a Shenmue 3.

So just calm your panties everyone
