From IGN:

 

According to an update, developer Ys Net wants to give fans one more chance to back the game, this time via PayPal.

 

“[…] there are so many people told us they could not pledge on Kickstarter, or could not make the deadline,” reads the post, “and have asked for a PayPal page for another opportunity to contribute to Shenmue III.”

Described as the “Slacker Backer period,” the deadline for donations ends on December 31. Apparently, the three-month window was created to give new backers enough time to do so, but “short enough to keep the release date on track.”

From the Kickstarter Page:

Hello Everyone,

Thanks to your support, Shenmue III became the most funded video game on Kickstarter with 69,320 people helping to bring back the Shenmue series back to life. However, there are so many people told us they could not pledge on Kickstarter, or could not make the deadline, and have asked for a PayPal page for another opportunity to contribute to Shenmue III. So here we go!

The Slacker Backer period will continue through December 31st. While the full game will be completed as promised with the use of the funding collected on Kickstarter, any additional funding collected here will go towards reaching the Stretch Goals to make the game even bigger and deeper.The three month window was set to allow a long enough time to for everyone who wants to support Shenmue III to do so, but short enough to keep the release date on track.

Again??

Lol

 

Y doesnt sony fund it fully and save it from the embarrassment? Or are they still trying to gauge interest of the fans?

 

Sony doesnt fund it because they aren't involved in the project.

 

Yu Suzuki is making it on the PS4 , because he doesn't want to make it on a sh*t system cant handle it like the Xbox one :D

 

 

 

Also you clearly dont know how Kickstarters work. Paypal option has been added to multiple games , but hey why dont you go bash all those games too?

because its sega's IP and they cant do jack about it until sega agrees to give them the IP. and even if they fully fund 3 who guarantee's that sega wont come back and snatch the rights again if its a success. sega only gave the IP rights to the dev out of goodwill cause they never thought it would be such a big success on KS.

 

as for the hd remasters of the first 2 games, the blame lies with sega and sega only, they were apparently sitting on completed version of both games for ps3 and 360 but they didnt bother releasing it cause their other remasters didnt sell well enough. and then there's also the tech issue....the game was so ahead of its time tech wise that the companies from whom they used the middleware back then are dead so they dont even know who owns what. sega can sort this mess if they want but they're not interested.

NP. i knew yours was a genuine query unlike some idiots who just come to various Shenmue threads to make a fool out of themselves.

 

xbone users current heartthrob inafune is bringing a KS game to xbone published by a 3rd party publisher. i wonder why they didnt complain back then or maybe they could have complained when iga showed another kickstarter game bloodstained and announced an exclusive character at the microsft gamescom 2015 conference which also has a 3rd party publisher involved. :giggle:

Most fans dont really want to to go to Sony because you will again have the same headaches of a publisher.

Sony has many times said they dont want to fund games that isnt their own IP.

If Sony funds this title , they will want the rights. If the game doesn't do well , then Shenmue 4 will be in same scenario Shenmue 3. We will be begging Sony for a game. This way at least the Game belongs to Yu suzuki productions and we can get the closure to the series 4 and 5. Regardless of Budget,

 

Now add Sega into this whole equation and it makes it even worse. I think things are fine they way they are.

 

If it becomes a big hit , the next game can be funded accordingly since they will know how big the IP Actually is.

 

Dreamcast and Xbox 1 numbers isnt really fair , since Dreamcast /Xbox it self wasnt a success.

The game that started it all, commercially flopped and got left behind by 10 years trying to make a comeback begging for money.
