  1. They just added the Vita physical ver. on KS.  It's either $80 or the $150 Collector edition.  Now I gotta decide if I want the Vita or PC physical.

    With the addition of Vita physical copies, I'm sold. Personally I'd much rather play visual novels on the vita due to its portability. 

     

    PC is slowly turning into portable. I recently bought a Samsung ATIV tablet PC and thats how I read my visual novels on the go (reading Princess Evangile on it atm). Youre kinda limiting yourself by being portable AND small on the vita. Visual novel heroines and Waifus deserve a bigger screen than that.... 

    I actually wanted the physical Vita ver. just for my collection.  Since they are giving a digital ver. of both the PC and Vita I doubt I'm gonna be opening it.

  2. I'd actually give him the benefit of the doubt in this case, as misinformation about Shenmue 3 is pretty widespread.  I've seen threads where the predominant opinion is that Shenmue is proof that crowd funding is heading toward a collapse, pretty much entirely based on spurious information spread by websites whose writers couldn't find the word "fact" or "checking" in a dictionary at gunpoint.

     

    Well, with what happen with Red Ash doesn't really invoke confidence that there wasn't some kind of deal going on in the background.  Totally different company and game but just an example.  Who would've thought even a year ago that a KS would be announce during Sony E3 conference.  The bad PR effort trying to explain thing doesn't help either.

     

    But getting off topic here....   Almost 450k.  At this pace we might hit 600k by the end especially with them adding more Takemikazuchi models.

  3. Earlier in KS life it could be said that it was for small companies or individual looking for some funding to get something off the ground.  Now really it does feel like a early pre-order store and larger companies do a KS just for marketing buzz and early income to offset there risk.  I think Shenmue 3 probably is the best recent example of this.  Honestly though I don't really have a problem with it too much.

  4. I'm just surprised they had the balls to translate it after it's already been done by fans, I would assume that everyone already had it since it's "free" and no one would bother with a paid version. Good on them.

    I wish they did the kickstarter in Yen and not US dollars, our dollar is about 30% weaker in just a matter of months. So that $300 pledge has now turned into very close to $500. Our dollar compared to Yen is still very similar.

     

    They can't.  KS is a US corporation.  To even kickstart anything you actually need to have a US business/corporation in the US.  Saw this problem before on another KS project when the creator wanted to see if he could do it in Canadian dollars.

  5. I read in the description that the port(vita or android),the codex and even the two photons will be free for people that are pledging $150 or above.

    Am I wrong? It sounds very convenient to me.

     

    If they hit the stretch goal for them, yes.

     

    Slowly dripping toward 400k.  I knew they would get more models for ppl to pledge for lol.  Also not surprise that the Takmikazuchi sold out fast and still a ton of the Raptors left~

  6. I think the kickstarter got 60k pledged in 20 min haha, some people really wanted those high tier rewards^^

    Predicting from data solely from day 1 (which is stupid of course because of the high tier rewards that people rushed to obtain, and also because of day 1 hype), it was estimated that the KS would reach 6 million dollars by the end of it  :makina:

     

    I was surprised the highest tier pledge reward is already gone. People have spare $5,000 in the bank for KS Pledging?!

     

    Oh and there's 1 more $300 pledge reward up for grabs. But it's just Takemikazuchi vs F22A Raptor, Decal Sheet, and Yuuko's Gift Bag added from $200 pledge. 

     

    1st $5000 was gone instantly when the KS went up.  The other one went at about 30 min after it.

  7. Speaking of which, has this series shown up in Super Robot Taisen yet?

     

    Not that I know of.  All the series that appear in SRW are based on anime, unless I'm mistaken, and it usually takes a few years for them to appear.  I know Nadesico didn't appear in a SRW until 4 years after the series ended.  So basically they would be using Total Eclipse.  I won't be surprise for them to eventually appear in a SRW game barring any licensing shenanigans.
