Everything We Know About Shenmue 3 - Cliqist

Marcus Estrada writes: "Shenmue 3 is the first video game Kickstarter to have been announced and launched during an E3 press conference. With a surprise reveal during Sony’s E3 event, the gaming populace went wild and managed to crash Kickstarter due to hammering the site so hard. There’s a lot we still don’t know about how the title will turn out, but we do know far more than we did at launch. So, let’s review!"

I still havent backed this and am on the fence about doing so. Still sceptical that it'll be able to live up the promises.

MadMax3213d ago

Anyone know if there will be a physical retail release in stores, or is it backers edition only on kickstarter? Thx in advance!

DigitalRaptor3213d ago (Edited 3213d ago )

I'll try and help.

If you look at the $60 retail editions on Kickstarter, they have about 11,000 backers on those tiers. Granted the higher tiers also have several thousands of backers, who can also claim the physical editions, it would still only add up to less than 25,000 physical editions.

Realistically, YsNet and Sony are not going to print just 25,000 editions of the game. I'm not too sure on how retail game manufacturing works, but I think they will produce way more copies than just the amount the Kickstarter backers have pledged for. There's been no confirmation, but I'm fairly sure it will happen.

Either way, Kickstarter offers you a lot more. I've gone pretty nuts in support of my favourite game series of all time.

@ GregMicek

Understandable, but what promises?

@ Nonscpo

At the current rate, the Kickstarter will reach $6 million by the end, and signs are pointing towards a Paypal option being open after the campaign has finished, which could easily bring in the full $10 million if they continue to make all the right moves.

If it started with $10 million, the game would not be funded and people would be having serious doubts about now. You'd see negative press and trolls everywhere, and Shenmue would not have a future. $2 million is STORY-BASED Shenmue. $5 million is allowing Suzuki to add something new to the Shenmue franchise. $10 million should allow him to make a game with the same depth of the first Shenmue.

Still think it should have started with a 10 million funding goal and just have all these random stretch goals included. Granted they would still need Sony's backing to make it happen.

garyanderson3213d ago

Seriously. The stretch goal count is overkill.

Spotie3212d ago

And if it didn't reach the ten mill, then what?

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger72d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218372d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia72d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Dragon's Dogma and XCOM 2 are the best deals. The rest of the games are still overpriced. I would say 8.99 is good for AC: Origins, but you need to put $10 more into MTs to avoid the grind that slows down the story. So, the game is actually 18.99.

It's not on this list, but Pathfinder: Kingmaker is only $9.99. This is a deal if you have a current gen. consoles, as it runs poorly on prev. gen.

hangdang684d ago

I beat AC origins without grinding or spending any money on MTX?

anast684d ago

I had to grind for side missions. So, did many other people.

HeliosHex684d ago

Has anyone been able to login in to the ps store on ps5 I haven't been able to in days and my network is good.

RedDevils684d ago

Reset or shutdown your PS5. I always can go login to PS5, in fact just a moment ago.

HeliosHex683d ago

Hey thanks again. Although the shutdown/reset didn't work i found that resetting the mdm and hub did the trick. I use a Lan network instead of wifi. In case anyone has a similar setup and problem.

RedDevils683d ago

I forgot to mention about the router reset, that usually do the trick when it come to network problems happen with iphone/android. btw np
