IT'S HAPPENING

IT'S HAPPENING

IT'S REALLY FUCKING HAPPENING

SONY is fucking killing is this year, FUCKING KILLING IT.

>>2474201
You're the second person I've seen incorrectly say this. I've yet to see an actual exclusive worth playing.

>>2474216
>an actual exclusive worth playing.
Shenmue 3, you cancerous namefag.

oh yay, a game I will have to buy a console that I don't want to play, thank you sony.

Also, why the fuck does this need a kickstarter? I am so sick of big companies abusing kickstarter to promote shit they would have otherwise just made anyhow.

>>2474231
So the logic is it's killing it this year because of a game (that's also on PC) that will be out in... 2 years? And maybe at that? Damn, son. It's 2015 and you haven't realized console wars are fucking retarded??

>>2474238
Its going to be on PC

Im currently trying to play Shenmue on my Dreamcast. Am I missing something? I mean i just started it but I dont know if I can go on, its quite boring...

>>2474231
>Exclusive

I mean games that will ONLY be on the playstation.

>>2474238
dude I dislike the kikestart model too but this is probably the most legitimate use this thing ever had

>>2474245

It's strange anon, you have just to interact as if it was real life, it's not a game for everybody, but after you will finish it you will know if you hate it or love it, try to complete it.

>>2474246

Shenmue 3 ?

Joe from Game Sack is going to have a heart attack after hearing this news.

>Crowd funding
>Not a exclusive

Pathetic.

>>2474252
What part of exclusive don't you understand? PlayStation exclusive means a game that will only be playable on the PlayStation.

>>2474238

Yu couldn't do the game because nobody would found his game, for once this method is going to get him results.

>>2474246
Last Guardian, you jizz gargling faggot.

>>2474257
PC also.

>>2474257

So not shenmue ?

>>2474247
>most legitimate use
how is a huge company using kickstater simply to built up hype for a game in any way shape or form a more legitimate use than a small company or a single person using it to actually get money that they NEED to make a project with?

>>2474260

Come on man, you still didn't play it, leave the hype out.
There have been many games in the past as exclusives well worth to be played.

>>2474263
PC is not the PlaySatation though, Shenmue will be on both so it's not an exclusive is what they're saying.

>>2474265
Right. I personally don't like the idea of exclusives anyway, in this context especially it's a mess, like how Shenmue 2 is exclusive to the Xbox.

>>2474273

Is a huge company behind this ?

>>2474273
Yeah the page was down when I posted that, I didn't realize sony was behind this.

>>2474281
can you not fucking read, Sony is behind this

>>2474280
>Shenmue 2 is exclusive to the Xbox.
it's not

>>2474283
>sony was behind this.

Uhm fuck this, they will not get my money, i was almost going to do it in the last days, but this is the kind of shit i don't want to support.

>>2474286
Whoops, you're right. I don't know why I thought that.

>>2474283
it only took me a few minutes after you posted to post my own message, and the kickstarter was certainly up. don't fucking lie

The Kickstarter is basically just preorders for the game, nothing more. They're not really using that as their sole funding, just as a way to ensure there's interest.

>>2474291
durr hurr it was giving out 503 errors like crazy just now.
Who gives a fuck about saving face on an internet forum?

>>2474291
No I was getting connection errors as well.

>>2474252
Still no.

>>2474260
We'll see how good it is.

>>2474263
No? That would mean the opposite of PS4 exclusive

>>2474292
Isn't it just what the name suggets: A kickstarter? A little 2 mil to get development moving smoothly?

IS

THIS

REAL

LIFE?

>>2474284
No, Ys.net is behind this.

>>2474305
it's a proxy for Sony yah dork

>>2474320
If it was a proxy for Sony it wouldn't be on PC too, right? I don't even know I just want muh Shenmue.

>>2474331
Sony and PC have been working together for awhile now. FF7 Remake will likely be PS4 and PC.

>>2474331
>I don't even know I just want muh Shenmue
you are part of the problem, fuck off

>>2474335
No.

I'm paying $500 and you can't stop me.

Tell me your name I'll tell them to put it in the credits.

:^)

>>2474334
but FF7 is made by square enix, not sony themselves
also
>Sony and PC have been working together
do you think PC is an organization or something? wtf does this even mean? is this how modern gamers thing? wtf

Not retro.

>>2474347

>/v/ shitposters spreading to /vr/

Man fuck this fucking thread. I came here to rejoice with my /vr/ bros but someone let the /v/ kids in.

>>2474348
how is arguing over a modern sequel to an over rated adventure game that hasn't aged well at all "fun" exactly?

>>2474340
Most Sony backed projects will hit PC but not WiiU or XBox.

Look at Bloodborne, they are letting PC get it.

>>2474352
I would say that the idea that you have to circle jerk over every thing in a franchise you like and anyone that doesn't agree are evil morons that should leave the board all together is more of a /v/ idea than anything else.

>>2474352
Rejoice my nigga.

You can go back to /v/ now

>play shenmue 3
>use forklift money to buy dreamcast with shenmue 1
>play space harrier

>>2474384
But it isn't retro. It isn't within the rules.

To be fair, even though I'm not a Shenmue fan and I think I only played it once or something (or at least watched a friend play it back when it was new), I can understand people getting excited over an unexpected sequel to a favored franchise. In the end, this is no more in the rules than a Yooka-Laylee thread and probably less rule compliant than even a Mario Maker thread.

>>2474416
Fuck the police it's fucking Shenmue 3

adam k admitted to backing $500. he's a serious shenmue fan

Am I the only one that would rather see this money go to a couple of guys in a basement somewhere that are going to make "Shenmue 3" (I put quotations signifiying an illegitimate sequel) for the Dreamcast (a console that is worth playing) than to see it go to the company who ruined video games and are most definitely going to bastardize a cult classic?

>>2474453
Who?

>>2474462
Probably not. There are a lot of idiots out there. Maybe you should start your own "couple of guys in a basement making Shenmue 3 for Dreamcast" kickstarter and see if it makes a million dollars in 2 hours...

You mean Ys.net? 'cause that's where it's going.

>>2474462
>to see it go to the company who ruined video games and are most definitely going to bastardize a cult classic?

Good thing its not? This is being independently developed.

>>2474462

Sony or Sega

>>2474462
>>2474473
>>2474479
http://www.ysnet-inc.jp/

Yes, because this company ruined games, right?

Jesus guys, at least do a little research first before you jump straight to bitching.

>>2474479
If Sega was in charge we'd be all about action arcade titles.

>>2474462
>the company who ruined video game
go screw yourself with your hyperbolic garbage

>>2474462
can't have shenmue without suzuki. Id rather see a brand new thing that's directly inspired by shenmue

>>2474486

huh, when did konami get involved in this?

>>2474354
Oh, how nice of Sony to LET a software developer release their games on other platforms.

>>2474550
guess they figured a year late pc release won't hurt their own sales like an xbone one does

>>2474554
Maybe they are hoping people will be sick of it by the time other platforms see it.

>>2474554
>>2474558
>>2474550
first off, sony has done this since the 90s
second off, this isn't /v/, take this discussion there please.

>>2474567
This isn't /vr/, take this discussion there, please.

Shenmue 1 has a 40 million budget
Shenmue 2 had a 30 million budget
Shenmue 3 will most likely have a 3-4 million dollar budget.
Yeah, I'll be interested when Sega actually decides to back this game.

>>2474575
the difference is that you don't NEED a budget that large to make a game like Shenmue anymore, it isn't 1995 anymore. Technology has advanced drastically since then.

>>2474586
Then why does Ryo look and sound like shit?

>>2474508
>let me shitpost this thread becuz reasons
Nice salt shitheel

>>2474592
Have you heard the voice samples on the dreamcast? Anything above that is god tier.

>>2474586
The newer tech is more expensive by several orders of magnitude. A game on the scale of Shenmue in today's movie with current gen tech would be hundreds of millions of dollars.

>>2474170
NOT RETRO

>>2474592
>Then why does Ryo look and sound like shit?
because it isn't a finished product, heck, it's still in very early development, you can't judge the game at all yet.

>>2474601

just...listen to his voice...
I'm hoping this was just a friend of his who did the voice as an alpha, and that they'll hire someone better.

>>2474604
this is complete bullshit

>>2474607
I think there are speculations of a remake of Shenmue 1 being included, so it's retro now, so go fuck yourself.

>>2474586
if you made a game with dreamcast graphics today then you'll have stupid shit like autists complaining about grass textures

>>2474607
Thanx for the heads up :^)

>>2474614
umm... where did I mention anything about making a game with dreamcast graphics

>>2474624
ummm... you are kind of a faggot
If anything, games are more expensive than back then because the expectations were raised so much higher.

>>2474613
Shenmue 1 isn't retro either.

>>2474989
It clearly says games in 1999 and earlier, shenmue was released in japan in december 1999.

>any other games on platforms launched in 1999
>DC was a platform launched in 1999
>Shenmue 1 and 2 were released for DC

Retards.

Huh.
I'm torn.
As a fan of the series, that was my worst nightmare, because we all know kickstarter projects of actual projects always end up being way worse than what people expected.

But then again, it's either a kickstarter project or nothing, since nobody will ever fund a game that half of the people say it sucks.

I don't know what to think. I'll probably wait for the release, wait for "let's play" videos of it, and skip to the end and see what happened.

>>2474201
What the fuck does this even mean?

>>2475116
This isn't really a project that needs Kickstarter funds, they're essentially using it for preorders and to get people hyped. It was a smart move doing that for E3 for maximum visibility. We don't know how far along Shenmue 3 was in development, originally either.

>>2475116

The last one i played( pillars of eternity) ended being good, the same goes for wasteland, torment seems like another good one.

>>2474989
>Readying comprehension this great
Do you not see the thread at the top of the page that says "/vr/ rules" then later on says "DREAMCAST CAN BE DISCUSSED"?

>>2474170
NOT RETRO

>>2475114

>>2474479
>Sega

They didn't ruin videogames, just themselves.

>>2475195
So we're in agreement. The rules specify games on platforms released in 1999, which includes things like Under Defeat, released in 2006. Anyone complaining about Shenmue just has their panties in a knot. People sperg over dates, when dates are fundamentally unimportant -- hardware is.

>>2474609
>I'm hoping this was just a friend of his who did the voice as an alpha, and that they'll hire someone better.

Oddly enough, the stilted voice acting might work in the game's favor (I know the Japanese version supposedly had good voice acting), maintaining the game's original character while not having AAA "polish."

At first I worried that Suzuki has been out of the AAA development space for so long, that he'll make something that looks and plays like a "joke" compared to GTA V and the like. After all, part of Shenmue's appeal in those days was that it was the most technically advanced game of its time. Yu would need a 9 figure budget to wow us like that again, which isn't happening.

But I think Yu's relative ignorance vis a via "modern" game design will work to his advantage, especially considering the game will be developed outside of a corporate environment, meaning no pressure to make it as salable as GTA or something.

tl:dr: Suzuki's rust and the relative smaller budget of Shenmue III will likely result in "dated" or rough elements that will work to the game's advantage.

It'll be on Windows right?

>>2475225
I agree with this whole heartedly. If we're lucky this game could become the perfect storm.

>>2475268
Steam OS only

>>2475225
it was the most technically advanced game for about one year, until GTA 3 came along

>>2474265
In case it wasn't perfectly clear, from the kickstarter page

>>2475225
Were you even born when Shenmue came out? They can't compete with GTA V. That isn't even a wet dream. Part of Shenmue's appeal were the textures and attention to detail. It wasn't the most technically advanced. I think you're ignorant and setting yourself up for disappointment. A simple continuation of Shenmue 2 with DC graphics and assets are what you should expect because it probably wont be more than that.

>Played FF7 a year ago, only thought it was okay
>Never liked Shenmue

Sony's conference didn't do much for me. I kinda feel left out.

Am I going to have to replay the originals on the Dreamcast, or do you think they'll do an HD rereleases of 1 and 2?

>>2475314
A game that's on more than ONE platform isn't exclusive.

>>2475332
It is if you're a console fanboy, PC doesn't count.

>>2474170
Why do people care about this trash?

It's QTE: The Fucking Original Game.

It was mainly hyped for that reason, too, and how 'cinematic' it was. It's cancerous trash.

>>2475350
lol at all that misinformation
>cinematic

>>2475350
>It's QTE: The Fucking Original Game
Actually that was Dragons Lair.

>Met the goal in less than a day
That's pretty fucking neat actually. I hope they meet some stretch goals like the shenmue 1 & 2 cinema stuff. I wonder if it'll be like the shenmue 1 movie DVD that came with the xbox version of 2.

>>2475350
Just go back to /v/ please. Your comment is better suited to the 1000 others like it there.

>>2474453
One of the Pokemon designers backed it with $10000 and took the "dinner with Yu Suzuki" reward.

>>2474604
>The newer tech is more expensive by several orders of magnitude

In the late 90s they had to spend 3 fucking years just building the engine specifically for the console.

Today they can license Unreal Engine and have that port done with immediately, they only have to churn out content.

why are you fuckers bumping this shitty thread that is against the rules.

it is in no fucking way retro.
you are ruining this board.

>>2475317

19 when it came out, bought it on release, and yes, it was the most advanced game in existence at its release. Every game Yu developed in the 90's set new standards, from Virtua Racing to Virtua Fighter 3. Shenmue was no exception, with the breadth of its game world, the weather system, and nearly everything being interactive. Something as simple as being able to turn on the light on your desk was a "wow moment," as silly as that sounds today.

Like I said, one of Shenmue's big selling points was its scope and that attention to detail you mentioned (which speaks to its technical brilliance). Now that Yu won't have the budget to compete with modern sandbox games, Shenmue loses one of its critical selling points for modern audiences who haven't played the the prior games. They won't understand what made the game/series special and will react like this >>2475350


Not that we should care, I was just making a point about how over expectation will just result in disappointment (thinking Shenmue will be a martial arts version of GTA V, which some gamers might expect given Shenmue's history of setting new standards), so I agree with you on that point.

>>2475352
Shenmue was the first game to call it QTE though.

>>2475492
wow man you're so knowledgeable about videogames
can i suck you're dick?

>>2475350
The QTEs in Shenmue have little to do with uninspiring events in modern games.
- They're not "Press X to Win", fail and the story path will branch accordingly (you won't die and restart at a checkpoint to try the same thing again and again).
- They make sense. They're used as cues for specific fight moves, using the same buttons (A for a kick, X for a punch, etc).

Recent games (such as say, God of War) tend to forget about all that.

>>2475350
Agreed.
