In just 9 hours after the announcement of Shenmue 3 at the Sony E3 2015 Press Conference, the game will become a reality.
Fans of the series have been waiting 14 years for Shenmue Director and Producer, Yu Suzuki, to make Shenmue 3. But for only 2 million dollars why doesn’t Sony just pony up the money? After watching the Kickstarter video and reading the description, I completely understand that he wants to make this game with the fans who have been waiting for so long.
So, how much do fans want this game to become a reality? Four $10,000 pledges were gone within the first 2-3 hours! Insane, right? What will those backers get?
One backer will receive:
RYO’S JACKET – The Original
The original jacket worn by Masaya Matsukaze for all of the Shenmue press events 14 years ago. What fan has not seen this legendary article of clothing before? + A special video message just for you by Yu Suzuki. + Be named as a Special Sponsor in the credits.
Includes the $500 Reward.
Three backers will receive:
DINNER WITH YU SUZUKI + SHENMUE SCRIPT SET
Bring a friend to join a dinner party in Japan with Yu-san and the other backers of this tier. (Date will be tentatively set for September, 2016). + An original script set from Shenmue 1 and 2. Even those working closely with the production of the first titles may not have laid eyes on these rare treasures. Scripts are in Japanese. You will also be named as a Special Sponsor in the credits.
Includes the $500 Reward.
I say those are pretty worth it. As a long time fan myself, I look forward to hearing more about this title in the upcoming future.
