How much did it cost to make watch dogs, shenmue is not going to be terribly different or more expensive than that

Ive never seen a video game creator get grilled so hard about a game in my life. They dont grill the studios that continually release broken games like this. Like,where are all the articles and scathing interviews about bethesda releasing unplayable games on ps3?

Its like they dont even want shenmue 3 in any capacity.

X-Box fans are obsessed with this game. Majority of them probably never heard of Shenmue a month ago.

Sega royally dropped the ball with this series.

Understatement of the year right here, Shenmue and Jet Set Radio each should have easily been franchise titles.

Over 4.6mill now with a week to go. I think it'll hit over 5mill by the time the KS is over.

It could see a last minute surge in the final day. 5 million is pretty much guaranteed. 6 million might not be out of the question.

Definitely agree. If they added PayPal to the KS we'd see a huge surge immediately.

"Shenmue 3 has added a new interview, this time with a new member on the project. Meet Kenji Itoso who used to apprentice under Hayao Miyazaki over at Studio Ghibli and has directed on many different multipmedia projects. He even worked on the popular hit anime Attack on Titan. Showing that YS Net is using the funded cash from the Kickstarter to pick up fresh talent like this is good and I think will further encourage more donations from those people questioning the Kickstarter. Check out the video and hear about his history with the Shenmue series.

The Kickstarter has also added 4 new reward tiers for users looking to upgrade their pledge. One has a guest book allowing you to share a 140 character message that will be displayed forever in-game, a capsule block toy with your beatiful mug and if that isn’t enough a higher award will make you into a chibi capsule toy version of yourself drawn by Kenji Miyawaki! Check it out and #SaveShenmue."

And there's only like 50 of them who played Shenmue 2 on the OG Box.

And zero Playstaion fans played it, so why would they be all of a sudden interested?

Resident Evil remake was selling badly on GameCube. It was re-remasted for the PS3 and it became one of the best selling games there on the PSN.

Xbox was really a bad market for Japanese games.
