I'm shocked that they went for $60 for the psychical version, I really thought that it would be about $80 or $100. It's good though as last I read only about 30% of people who buy games ever buy digital games. Also making it a limited edition will get people who where going to wait reaching into their wallet.

As for the whole put your face in Shenmue 3 stuff I'm not a fan. Looking at the members gallery you aren't the best looking bunch. If any of you care about Shenmue when you finally get the message asking you too send in a picture you should all do the right thing and send one of Paul Rudd.

Well the digital copy was only $29 which led me to believe the retail copy would probably be between $39.99 and $49.99. This $60 reward just confirmed that for me.

Yuck! That sounds more like a dlc than a full game.

Strange that few websites have still spread out the news.

Anyone know if there's an easy way to make two pledges? I want to get both PC and PS4 copy.

Guess it's cause it's the weekend, that's always a slow news period.

4 million! Great :D
And yeah, people really shouldn't be worried about fan's faces appearing on characters/pictures in-game, I'm sure it will be done tastefully and in a way that doesn't break the immersion. Using backers' faces on Chi You Men members is probably a good move, as they will probably just be black-suited grunts seen very briefly in free battles/QTE's just like S2.

Yeah the mockup on KS doesn't look bad at all. I was thinking it might be a gawdy colour picture but it's in monochrome so doesn't stick out too much.

You need two credit/debit cards as far as I know. Then just set up a second Kickstarter login.

Just use second email address to sign up the kickstarter and you can use the same credit/debit card. That's why I did, donate $500 on one and $60 on the other so I can get physical copy of Shenmue for PC and PS4 :)

Done. I pulled out the extra $60 donated to my main backer pledge to 2nd account for PS4 physical copy. :D Even though I don't have a PS4, it will be nice to get a special backer case for each platform copy.

Hey guys do you think they add paypal as an option? I'm waiting for it since the announcement.
There are only 13 days left and I have money burning in my wallet, but I can't pledge!

You mean you can but you choose not to :p

I'd assume if they did add it it would be after the KS campaign closes.

What is the big deal about pledging through Kickstarter though? I know Riku has been vocal about being against them but I don't actually know what the issue is exactly...
