Shenmue 3, Huber Hype (new video)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/updates

Things are looking great atm, funding has passed 4 millions and a PS4 physical copy was announced today.

Shenmue 3 is happening guys

Edit: I forgot to mention that I pledged 100$ days ago.

update:

Ugh I wish a good game was getting funded, Shenmue is straight garbage.

Just what I was waiting for to pledge my support. Official backer.

Right now there are only around 3, 000 backer physical copies going out, but that number will go up a bit in 14 days. Think about that guys, for just $60 you can get a special physical copy of the game that will be ultra-rare while supporting the project.

It's not. You don't like it fine. Why post then? To show how "edgy" you are?

Looks like ass.

Even a PC physical copy.

Hope they don't waste the money on stupid limited editions , just make a manual and i'm good with the game.

ps:Just started playing Shenmue 2 on og Xbox and uh..................................

>_< people are actually an abusive kickstarter.
I wonder how longer it will continue will the users totally pay for a game that Sony will then reap all profits from?

I need this game injected into my veins!

I'm gonna use my vita and play it in my bed with remote play feels like something sega or the dreamcast woulda done I miss Game Gear

@2mrw: Great news! :P

The lack of a physical release was annoying and now I know I will own all three copies of Shenmue physically.

Not attacking you for your opinion or anything but what do you not like about it? Clunkiness? I personally loved the first two but they could be pretty clunky. I think Shenmue is one of those games where atmosphere counts for a lot.

So is this Shenmue 3 physical copy for the PS4 or Shenmue 3 Episode 1 physical copy? I strongly suspect the latter from his earlier comments about needing another 500 years to finish it properly.

Can we get an HD collection of the first two first please? even a PSN only release would suffice. its been such a long time that i can't remember anything.

Yes. This needs to happen. I think they should package the first two in with Shenmue 3, the same way Bayonetta 1 was packaged in with Bayo 2.

I'm down for one.

Thats fuking great , cant wait to see whats next !

But but but now people will have to find a new reason to bash the game.

What does this "uh" mean?

Knew it would happen eventually and when I saw it earlier today I got my pledge in pronto.

Now for the long wait...

Ready for the deluxe CE!

Great. I will up my pledge to $300 from $160

I love Shenmue but my god what a shitshow.

Shenmue: Dreamcast

Shenmue II: Xbox

Shenmue III: PlayStation 4

Does it really matter? Just enjoy the moment, the game is actually being made ... we need zelebratioooonnnn :D :D

Only two and a half years to go! Yay

I hope they hit the $5 million mark, Yu said if they do it will be the complete Shenmue experience, I don't care about a full open world, they're overrated, I really liked the linear/open nature of the first two games.

They cant. "The property rights for Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2 belong to SEGA." While, "Shenmue 3" is licensed to Yu.

The funny thing is, Going by that release list it looks about right for the 3rd installment lol.

Nya's forgetting 2 was also on the DC however.

Yeah in Europe and Japan, I live in the US so it was Xbox.

Just upgraded. I imagine others will as well. If all 25k people upgraded to the PS4 box it could potentially add 750k to the Kickstarter.

Erm? Wha? Lol. Sony will profit from this game to the same extent their licensing fees net them profit from every bit of software sold on their platforms. They most certainly aren't going "reap all profits" from a third-party game. I'm sure their third-party partners would heartily object to that!

No interesting in funding a game Sony could quite easily fund.

Scam.

Its really clunky.

Maybe its the dukes fault but it does not play well for me.

I'm going to ask a stupid question, but if I donate 60$ do they send me a physical copy of the game?

Are they not releasing a physical copy when it's finished?

@AM-Gamer: they were going to release a digital copy for the ps4, so if you decided to pay 100$ then I guess that would account for the price and 40$ in donation to fund the game.

Sega should really release remastered versions of Shenmue 1 and 2 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC to help increase fundings for the game.

Sounds great, physical copy is the only way to go with consoles

@AM-Gamer: the only way to get a physical copy is thru kickstarter, when it's release it's only.digital

I'll match Sony's pledge.

Zero, right?

The Kickstarter had dropped down to a very low $10k/day a week ago... And then it just shot up to nearly $350k/day yesterday, its highest since day 2.

Crap controls, padding, choppy movement. Shit story. I like the arcade games it has, it gets points for that. Just a game that I could never get into nor did I see even an ounce of quality in. For those who love it though, so be it. But it is what it is, a dated game in almost every way. It's technical achievement for it's time should mean nothing.

Shenmue is an open-world, life-simulator, adventure game. It's not the kind of game that most typical gamers would enjoy. It's a game that caters to a niche cult following, rather than a wider mainstream audience.

Indeed; Gears 4, Halo 5, QB and Sea of Thieves look total ass.

@uninspiredcup:

You're basically pre ordering I don't see how this is a scam but anyway if this so called scam will help bring good games for me I will bite it last gen left a very bad taste in my mouth with all the shooting and fps games.

What do we need for a deluxe CE with epic statue???

Why are the gamers funding this? If it only comes to Sony and PC... You guys just saved Sony/MS money on funding it themselves. If this works out great for them, I'm sure they will try to do it again. Who the **** puts a kickstarter in their own E3 anyway. Seriously.

I've got a hard time seeing modern gamers caring for a game like this. Screams of flop in the eyes of the general gamer community.

I respect Yu Suzuki for that, it is niche games/indies that really need KS backup...

I never played first 2, why wouldnt people enjoy this?

Will be increasing my pledge, though I'll probably get a physical copy for the PC =)

It's a meandering game where half the "fun" is literally walking around as Ryo and trying to figure out trivial things to move the plot forward. And in between the slow main progression, you're asked to make side money through mini-games.

If you missed hustling for money as a street window washer and want to relive those memories without the humiliation of being personally flipped off, play Shenmue, because at least it's a revenge murder story :P
