That data's pretty interesting, Chuckles. It looks like Shenmue actually made the majority of its funding on the *second* day, unlike Bloodstained, which had a surge on the first. I wonder what that means E3 happend on the second day of the KS campaign not the first??? They announced it on E3 at around 7 PM PST, and this is also when the kickstarter was launched. This effectively gave people 5 hours for the very first day of the campaign. They met the goal within about 8 hours, which was $2 million. On Kicktraq it lists the entire 2nd day as $2 million, so take out 1.2 out of that, and that makes +$800k for the day after the goal was met. In a matter of 29 hours, it was about $2.9 Million. That said, if you consider the first and second day to be one day, the third day is a drastic drop at about 9% of the previous days totals. The first two days also had only 36,000 backers for that $2.9 million. I'm not going to do the exact math, but it basically means a small amount of people gave out a lot of money. A lot more than Bloodstained backers did. This means we could see the same amount of backers on the last two days, but nowhere near the same amount of money. It's likely that any individuals who were likely to throw money at the project have all already thrown their money.

As of now, 10 million is practically impossible... It was impossible from the start. If even Bloodstained, spiritual successor of Castlevania which has more fans than Shenmue "only" got 5.8 million, how in the world Shenmue would get 10 million? I really don't know, but that is what Yu himself said, 10 million for a full experience of Shenmue... Which I don't buy at all

Never underestimate the power of a fan base. If the KS were better ran better with different rewards and more systems it would have a great shot at overtaking us. I mean if they offered an HD collection of 1-2 that would increase quite a bit I think.

I must say, I was really excited when this was first announced. After the first 24 hours I was utterly convinced it would topple Bloodstained with ease...
Now I'm just straight disappointed with how the campaign has been run. It's a total mess and really makes me appreciate Iga, Ben Judd, Fangamer and Inti even more than I already did. Bloodstained should be the bar for any other video projects, they nailed it.

It would be quite a joke if Shenmue 3 ended up not surpassing Bloodstained. Shenmue 3, the game people got so hyped about during E3, and was waiting for for 14 years.

And with having reveailing all of the stretch goals. They can't just change it like that

I think more people haven't even played Shenmue. It was on a console that died shortly after its release and ended Sega's console career. Plenty of us had heard about it, but most of us were not willing to figure out how we could potentially play it.
The kickstarter would have been a lot more appealing if they would have mentioned doing HD ports of the original 2, or maybe not even HD ports, but just normal ports.

I'm worried it left a bad impression on Suzuki. Like "Who's this joker? Why did I sign up for this? Never again." When he could have met somebody like Ben Judd, and have a grand old time.
