Looks like Shenmue 3 showed a trailer at the PC Gamer show (presented by Epic Games) https://youtu.be/aSAqTmwY2eY Also announced Epic Store exclusivity. Lol.

An asian dev is pretty much the only high profile case of a kickstarter taking epic money after the Phoenix Point debacle, so this isn't totally unexpected. Also can I just say that a PC Games show hosted by Epic is like a gay pride parade hosted by Kevin Spacey?

A sexual predator hosting a pride event and a company you don't like hosting a show advertising video games are not at all alike. Sorry.

Like 90% of the games shown are launching on steam also so even not counting the gooney-rear end part of that analogy, it still wouldn't be all that accurate lol

I think people did speculate that the original amount they raised was not nearly enough to complete the game, given Shenmue 2 cost like 50 million dollars to make.

Shenmue III got millions of dollars through crowdfunding, got money from Sony and now got to top it off by getting millions from epic. Yu Suzuki is a loving genius and I won't listen to anyone saying otherwise.

This is probably the only time he's gonna get money out of people though. And its gonna be funny when most of this cash isn't even used for the game or developers, it just goes to his trips to china or whatever.

i cant even imagine kickstarting a game partially backed by a major publisher, even pre-ordering games is pointless and you're skipping right past that and *donating* to them? what legal recourse are people expecting to get from what is essentially pbs sending you the wrong color tote-bag?

Former mod Shalinor's Tony Hawk But Birds has a kickstarter that launched today with a 20,000 goal (& a demo) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meganfox/skatebird-be-a-skateboarding-bird?ref=profile_created https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-j9490u0TA (or maybe the closer parallel is Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure but with birds?) Anyways beyond it feeling 'right' a game like this (for me) lives or dies on its level design & combo system, haven't played the demo but i don't like the lack of manuals as combo-extenders (reverts too i guess but those are basically on by default in this). If ur gonna copy Tony Hawk why not copy it whole-hog?

If you’re going to be more than mildly disappointed if project turns to dust, you may not be temperamentally suited for Kickstarter. Changing the packaging or delivery mechanism of your thank you gift is trivia. Don’t treat it as a store—it’s a way to support creative endeavours financially and possibly participate in some minor way in its success, if and however such success occurs. Everyone in this thread, at the least, should know better by now several times over.

Also, if something has been funded many times over and was introduced on stage at E3 by sony, they don't need your money and never did. Wait for it to come out. It's fine.
