He's talking about development cost. No one had attempted what Shenmue did (remember, this project started WAY before 1999). Everything was new, tools needed to be built (for Saturn then Dreamcast) and organising the project was well out of the traditional scope of game development.
Now they are using UE, an off the shelf engine which can get them most of the way out of the box. Times have changed
I think there is a good chance it will make all the current stretch goals
Seems like Yu Suzukis most ambitious stretch goal is $10 million but I'm pretty sure the Kickstarter won't raise that.Most Kickstarters go quiet at this point and Shenmue probably more so due to the limited reward tiers and niche of the game. Expect to see it start ramping up in the last week plus mini boosts due to updates to the Kickstarter which will probably hit early next week.
Once the new tiers come in it will pick up. I will pledge up to $500 for the replica mirrors. I also expect to see a boost around the end of the month once people get paid, a small boost on 3/7 as many backers are upping their pledge and then a mad rush towards the end.
My estimate is $6m.
My estimate is $6m.
thank you
New stretch goals have been added!

I'm sorry, but what the ****! So basically unless people fund a certain amount of the game there'll be less features?
That's how most KS games work - beyond initial funding, stretch goals point out particular additional features.

Fair enough. I guess I'd understand it if it was an Indie developer, but it's not (is it?)
Probably look into Paypal after the KS ends - doubt the end surge will get them past $8 million
Agreed, the most fleshed out fighting system and Id be happy. From what I understand of the old games practise makes perfect - love to see that with proper VF moves.
AFAIK Ys Net is an indie

They should add a tier for a PC port of Shenmue 1 and 2. Wouldn't even need to be HD versions, just straight console ports.
Bet that would get the money pouring in again
It probably wouldn't on PC, PSN, yes, not PC. nullDC and ISOs are freely available.
They dont have permission to do that - only Sega could do thatThey should add a tier for a PC port of Shenmue 1 and 2. Wouldn't even need to be HD versions, just straight console ports.

Do people really expect it to have a huge $1million+ surge towards the end? I personally can't even see this getting past $5million. I would assume that the vast majority of die hard fans who want this have already backed it, so can we really expect another $1million+ from people who are only semi interested in this?
