This is one kickstarter I will help...Shenmue is one of my favorite game series ever.

Honestly I think this game will get the funding pretty easily.

Bah... a remake.

I guess if you never played it before and can't stomach the graphics it would be worth playing.

Well, Final Fantasy VII did have those weird character models, and also used hand-drawn backgrounds unlike the other Final Fantasy games following it. It was actually a lot more like SaGa Frontier.

Full remake

Insane, but I'm interested. Wonder how far they will go. Change combat system? Same dialog? All new CG. That game is going to be extremely expensive to make these days in high quality. Should be great. I hope its not exactly the same story.

It also looks like Kickstarter is slowing to a crawl after the announcement.

Although, why would they change a lot of stuff with the story and such? I can understand why someone would want something different if they've already played the original, but it's not really a remake then.

I'm not sure how FF7 will work with modern graphics.

There was a lot of genuinely silly shit that mostly worked because the game was so rough graphically/thematically. Wonder if they'll cut out the "out there" stuff, cross dressing, the robot house scorpions, and similar stuff.

I watched some of it being played by a friend recently and the dialog would need a little work for a big budget title. It has aged well, but still needs a bit of work. I'd hope they would add more side content. If they just dropped FF7 into a AAA big budget skin then it would seem awkward IMO.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I was thinking that you were talking about changes in the story and such. It would be interesting to see what their approach is. Do they want to stick with the drawn backgrounds with better 3D models? It would be cheaper, but it might disappoint fans. The CG definitely looked quite good.

EDIT:

Heh, flashing the Vita on the screen for a few seconds is all the showtime they're going to give it. 😛

I'd think anything less than a fully 3D game like FF13 with high end CG would be extremely disappointing.
 
COD got too much time, but Activision didn't have their own press conference, so they used Sony's to show off Destiny and COD...
