IGN article Shenmue 3 Now Among Kickstarter's Top 10 Success

Postby sand4fish » Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:34 pm

Yu Suzuki's Kickstarter for Shenmue III has climbed its way past Torment: Tides of Numenera to claim its place as the second highest funded video game on the crowdfunding website.

With regard to all Kickstarter projects, Shenmue III currently stands as the 10th most funded campaign.

The project, which still has another 11 days left in its campaign, is currently sitting at $4.3 million in funding, trailing behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the current leader in the video game category, with a whopping $5.5 million.

Just last week, we learned that the original Shenmue voice actor will be returning for this third installment. Additionally, PlayStation 4 owners will now be able to get a physical version as one of the campaign's newly-added reward tiers.


Some recognition from the gaming media without the usual Backlashing.

Was very happy to see this article, and that the top comments are positive and anti-FUD.

IGN has been pretty great about Shenmue III.

They have not. They have been one of the main offendeders spreading false assumptions.
One editor said in a recent GameScoop podcast that Sony was funding 95% of Shenmue 3..
Other various articles and tidbits constantly questioning the validity of the kickstarter while ignoring the facts.

IGN doing this little tidbit without a snarky comment I can only attribute to my own numerous emails telling them to correct themselves and from others in comment sections telling them to aswell.
