It was filled with explosions and combat that we've come to expect from the franchise and it will be here in 2016. Uncharted 4: The Thief's End took us on a wild ride as Drake took the wheel of a jeep and slammed through villages (without hitting a single civilian) as an armored truck tried to take them out. To end the Sony press conference at E3, Sony showed off one of the most popular franchises that needed no introduction. Yu Suzuki then came on stage to officially launch the Kickstarter campaign for the game.

Each time, Sega rebuffed their overtures, focusing instead on other software properties, like Sonic. Over the last 14 years, gamers around the world have used petitions, fan sites and social media to call for a continuation of the Shenmue franchise. Sega, which published both titles, decided to shelve the franchise, even though the second game never provided an end to the storyline. Shenmue 2, a follow-up to the original game, launched on the Dreamcast in 2001 and Xbox in 2002, but was not nearly as popular as its predecessor. The first title, which delivered a compelling storyline as Hazuki tried to avenge his father's death at the hands of antagonist Lan Di, was popular with gamers. The game was first envisioned as a multi-part epic detailing the life of protagonist Ryo Hazuki. It was created by famed developer Yu Suzuki and brought to the ill-fated Sega Dreamcast in 1999. Shenmue is one of the most talked-about series in gaming history.

The poll from the previous update was asking whether additional Kickstarter Exclusive rewards like the Dice Dude Capsule Toy etc. Nothing is changing with the currently offered rewards. There apparently was a miscommunication concerning the poll in the previous update.īoth the Kickstarter Backers and the Slacker Backers will all be receiving their rewards as listed on the Kickstarter and Slacker Backer pages respectively. We reached out to Ys Net for clarification on this and the nature of the reward offerings following the poll results.

We've removed reference to this contradiction above. Update: Although the announcement of the poll results clearly reads that PayPal backers would not be receiving the exclusive rewards 'as originally promised,' an earlier post indicated that the noted Kickstarter-only items would only be available to Kickstarter backers from the get-go.

The PlayStation 4 and Windows PC game is eyeing a late 2017 launch, and is the highest-funded gaming Kickstarter project in history.Ĭheck out the game's E3 2015 teaser trailer below. Shenmue 3 is still taking money from willing crowdfunders over PayPal, but those 'slackers' should be aware that many of the higher-tier rewards will not be available to them. Yet Ys Net interpreted that minority to be a 'strong response' in favor of barring PayPal constituents from accessing the campaign incentives. 4,009 people voted against offering the bonuses to PayPal contributors, 4,670 said they were okay with it and 6,432 expressed no preference. Those 'slacker backers,' as they were called when the PayPal option opened in September, were denied access to the exclusive rewards based on the answers of just over 15,000 respondents.

Over the New Year's holiday weekend, Kickstarter backers were given a say on whether rewards would also be granted to those who came on-board during the campaign's second wind, when it opened up the option to donate by PayPal. None of these gifts, however, will be available to those who donated via PayPal, according to the campaign's latest update.ĭeveloper Ys Net, headed by series creator Yu Suzuki, put the decision up to a vote. The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter campaign offers backers a plethora of exclusive rewards for contributing, from physical copies of the game in unique cases to specially engraved plaques.
