Why do I get the feeling it won't be enough for good old Tim?

Poor funders. They are pouring money into this like crazy and they will get nothing out of it in return. Maybe a half-assed game if they are lucky. People need to watch this video carefully to understand how big of a scam this is.

The crowdfuning is only a part of the money, he has partners and investors that will provide the rest.

Good, I loved the first one. A truely unique experience.

I would love a remastered version. The game is still great fun today just 16:9 resolutions are a bit troublesome.

kraenk123025d ago

The first one is one of my all time favourites. Screw the haters, I'm beyond happy this is finally happening!

coolbeans3025d ago (Edited 3025d ago )

While I too am happy for fans of such a cult classic getting a follow-up, the thing that doesn't make me want to bother with crowd-funding here is the infrastructure they've put it under.

When you go through the fine print, what's in there is quite worrisome for those ponying up the early dough.

Psyconauts 2 and Yooka Laylee, as well as Ratchet and Clank; 3D platformers have risen from the ashes!

DigitalRaptor3025d ago

I hope this starts a trend I really do!

NotanotherReboot3025d ago

I hope Ubisoft come to their senses and uncancel the Rayman 3D project from 2013.

I'm about 9 episodes into this and it's great. They've been recording it for long, long time, pre Kickstarter and Rhombus.

I always try and buy my games from gaming retailers here in the UK, there are a couple of cracking online retailers such as Shopto, Games365 and The Game Collection who I try to support as much as I can . By supporting these kinds of companies I figure it helps competition and that means better deals.

I hate Amazon, a tax dodging company that is looking to put all the competition out of business, not to mention how poorly they treat workers all over the world.
