On the way home from my inlaws I was racking my brain to figure out some way to raise more awareness for Shenmue 3. I feel like the Shenmue community is for the most part tapped out financially now. We need new blood. And we need something more vital than $30 on the 3rd was. As several of you have said we need the Youtubers to capture a different demographic that we've reached. The problem is that the biggest in the business aren't going to do it. Whether they've even heard our requests or not.
This is where my idea comes into play. We can still do a fan compilation that uses video of them reacting while they're playing other video games. We can crop out the actual game and put their faces over video of the Shenmue movie that came with the Xbox version of 2. At the end of the video we'd make it clear that hey really weren't playing the game and let people know we need their help to make 3 the best game it can be.
I'm a fan of markiplier so I know where to get his reactions but I don't know pewdiepie or the others. We need video that hasn't been keyed out like on a green screen. So it has to be video of them in front of a normal background. Also it's best if there's little background noise. If you like the idea let me know which videos and times. We need them reacting in sadness for when lan di kills iwoa, in fear from chai, love with nozomi, etc. Once the video is made we can share it to the darkest places of the internet where all the Youtubers' fans congregate.
Sound like a good plan?
