You said in the video, like many people have been posting over and over on here and gaf, that you think that the top goal is 4.5 Million (even though you want more) . This is 100% wrong. If you watch the video on the kickstarter, you will see that there are 3 locations that Yu wants to go to during the game. The first will be unlocked at 4M, and the other 2 have "? Million". This is my single biggest concern about the kickstarter, as people don't realise that there is more going on than we think.
I have contacted the kickstarter and asked them to make it more clear, as it does not say the above in text anywhere on the listing. We need to make sure people are aware that if the Kickstarter finishes at 4.5 Million we have NOT got the full vision Yu wants, we will be missing 2 locations. Check the images below, directly from the Kickstarter video:
Thanks for the feedback.
Right. I wanted to post that very image into the video and talk about it further, but didnt get to it.
Theirs many possibilities with this. Is this another stretch goal after 4 million? Most likely yes. Will this then fit into just Shenmue 3? We dont know that.
Yu Suzuki has stated he would like to do a Shenmue 4. This post-4M could go strait into an all together separate kickstarter for Shenmue 4.
We really dont know. But one thing is for sure, I dont think anything malicious about it.
The fact is YS Net are the primary developers of this game and it's their first major project. They are currently hiring aswell via a Japanese site that my wife researched. They are a growing company. Despite anything Sony is doing for them either development wise or financially, YS Net are making it and paying their employee's, cost of operating etc.
If a Kickstarter is needed for just solely paying the basic bills and future operating costs im all for it.
Anyways, this is all speculative right? So we'll just have to ask and see.
Additionally, its not like this is soley a donation. You put money in, you get a product. The more money you put in the more product you get. I put in 500 so I get a ton of products out of it.
If this was putting down 500 for nothing to show for it but having to then buy the game+collectors items in the end it would be different. But its not like that, we are making a purchase.
