Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has begun

[Nintendo]

Well, I couldn't overcome my temptation, so I've backed it

Edit:  Guess I can stream it to the Vita from my PS4.

You've sold your soul to the devil!! I'm never going to back it!

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I can't not know the end bro.  I need to avenge my father bro!  (after I finish playing with my pandy )

I am guessing that is a no then...

 

[Nintendo]

That's correct. It's a no for now.

grump grump grump rant about kickstarter grump grump get off my lawn.

But as Exophase says, this does start anb interesting precident. If a large compay is afraid of doing something with its IP because the last game didn't do well or whatever perhaps they can be convinced with a successful Kickstarter, as we see here.

 

[fusion_power]

That's correct. It's a no for now.

SONY does not like SONY?  ^_^

Ces't la vita! Interesting indeed. I'll need to finish shenmue 2 on dc first though. I remember getting stuck on a badly designed quicktime event in said game and lamenting the fact that I could not continue. Maybe i should dig out my copy

Sadly, I only played the PAL version of Shenmue II

How is that sad ?

 

[gunrock]

yeah, nothing wrong with that. Run it in 60hz or VGA mode and what's the difference?

 

[ekianjo]

I pity you guys who played ShenMue with the English voice-over- because it was horrible. The Japanese version is so much better.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Yep,  I hope they make Shenmue 3 in Japanese with English subtitle.

 

[gunrock]

Yes, but in this case (SONY's point) Shenmue II on DC was japanese only with English subs for the PAL release. It was only the Xbox version that had a crappy English dub I think.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Dump question:  How do we know if this Kickstarter is not a scam and not from Yu-san himself?

Also, it would be cool he could port Shenmue 1, 2 and 3 to the New 3DS.  Shenmue in 3D on the go?!  Wow!

 

[benoitb]

I've been playing Shenmue 2 on my DC tonight. I was only on dic1, I just reached disc2. I'm going to envoy it slowly so I don't have to wait for too long between when I finish it and when Shenmue 3 arrives.

I had played only Shenmue1 and was waiting for an annoucement of the 3 to play Shenmue 2.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I will play 1 and 2 again when Shenmue 3 arrives in 12/17.  It's been awhile since I played them.  I remember playing Shenmue 1 and 2 Japanese versions on my Japanese Dreamcast 'cause I couldn't wait for the English version.   I managed to finish both without knowing a single Japanese.   It was hard navigating around and understanding crucial dialogs, but it was worth it.  Then the English version came out, and I couldn't stand the voice over so never got through the English version.
