Shimrra Jamaane posted:I still don't understand the point of the kickstarter. 2 million dollars is a joke and can only have been the initial goal in order to drive up hype for stretch goals. The end total will be closer to 10 million, guaranteed. But how can 10 million dollars make a AAA game? Lots of devs use kickstarter to obtain a portion of their funding alongside other investors/grants/savings/etc, and it's also a good way to generate publicity and prove to potential investors that there are consumers willing to pay for the product you're developing (before it even exists, too).

Is Wii U Animal Crossing on a possibility. If that got announced, on top of Shenmue 3 my wife is gonna be doing cartwheels. The only thing that could top it for her would be a 3DS Fantasy Life sequel rather than the lovely mobile one.

There really isn't any pleasing some people. The more exclusives there are, the more people will complain that big companies are throwing money around to create artificial exclusives of Unreal Engine easily cross-platform stuff. That announcement for Rise Of The Tomb Raider disappointed a bunch of people and pleased... nobody? Because nobody who owns an X1 will find noticeable improvement by the move. On the other hand, if there aren't any, everybody complains that there's no reason to buy the console, r/pcmasterrace, etc. That said, I really wouldn't read FF7 as an Xbox title until it's explicitly said to be one by name. The game has existed as a PC title since the 90s, but the original console exclusivity deal never seemed to change even when it seemed like it probably expired long ago. You should get it on PC since it will probably be on PS6 as Final Fantasy 17 by the time it's ready to launch.

the solution is creating new first/second party franchises and not buying up traditionally multiplatform titles

Steve2911 posted:It might pull some investor funding too. Sony must be giving some moneys toward it aswell right? Anyways Sony won that poo poo they just churned out a gently caress tonne of games. The only thing I actually lost hype about was Call of duty, I loved BLOPS 1 & 2 but I'm not too keen on the Titan Fall gameplay in my Call of duty.

If Shenmue III had been funded normally, the same number of people would have bought it, but none of them would have spent $10,000 for it.

Is Shenmue 3 going to live up to the hype? Doubt it. The first one was loving amazing but that was like 14 years ago. Pretty much every open world RPGish game now has what made Shenmue so special back then. Never got a chance to play the second one so I have no idea what the gently caress happened in the story or if the game was even good. I guess it's cool some old Japanese dude gets to finally finish his story he was trying to write a decade and a half ago, but that's about it.

Avalanche posted:Is Shenmue 3 going to live up to the hype? Doubt it. I don't really know what living up to the hype or not would ential exactly. It's not going to be a ground-breaking game or anything, but I think a lot of people who played it when it came out were, at the time, invested in the story... so a non-disappointing continuation of that might be enough to live up to the hype for them. FWIW the second game was better than the first in pretty much every respect.

I would donate to video game kickstarters for Bayonetta 3, Wonderful 102, Viewtiful Joe 3, Zero Escape 3 and Yakuza 6 because they are all doomed franchises

Guys who made bobble head final fantasy must be pissed. Hey thanks for showing a trailer for our dumb game that no one cares about or has mentioned at all right before the FFVII announcement.
