Looking forward to getting kickstarter digital copy, went from 'Glad it exists, but not expecting much' to being pretty optimistic based on the demo and the impressions so far

It's been a long time since I finished Shenmue 2 on the dreamcast in my parent's house on a tiny CRT

I have to admit to breaking and watching a bit on Twitch last night and was very impressed with what I saw visually.

I'll spoiler this but it's very general and presented without any story context because I don't have any.

Ryo in a fight against several opponents in a dark, industrial-looking arena, lit by burning oil drums. Very atmospheric and nice lighting.

The Limited Run Games special edition comes with a replica Dreamcast case, even with reversible art so you can make it a US or Japanese copy.

I was sorely tempted but I'll have three copies by the end of the week and decided that's enough 😬

Oh yeah I just saw that and actually would have bought it (even thou the amout I backed during the kickstarter campaign was much more than what I would call reasonable)
but those things are always sold out when I find out about them, same thing goes for the Pix'n love Limited Edition. :(

Honestly a bit sour about this and one of the reasons why this'll be the first and last time I back a game.
The Kickstarter Collector's edition pales in comparison to both of those from Limited Run Games and Pix'n Love and at a much higher price on top!
But well,...now is the time to be positive and happy about the release!

Yeah it is actually quite sad they did not go the extra mile for us backers in this case. Hope the other stuff in the high-tier rewards are better.
Well they showed some of the signed artwork that's shipping soon in an update a while back and it looked awesome. For me Yu's signature alone is worth the $300. The artbook and soundtrack are the icing on the cake.

Day one backer here (100€) and still no code, what a fucking joke, and here anybody else can buy the game on other websites or console and play.

I really hate Kickstarter, this is the last time I back a game (or anything else).

Just pre-ordered on PSN, a little under 10 hours until the game unlocks. Very excited to play, hoping for a difficult and lengthy platinum trophy!

I'm actually pretty disappointed that there's no sign of the soundtrack yet. I'd enjoy passing the time listening to that until I can get home and play.

Have spent about 30 mins wondering around Bailu. The environment is gorgeous; the colours are so rich. It all feels just like Shenmue should feel - movement, interactions, dialogue, mini games. I am going to savour this game so much.

Yeah, kinda same for me when I decided to not cancel the KS pledge. Really wanted the signature. But would have also REALLY liked to have received a top quality CE box, and I honestly thought for $300 we would get something better than what anyone not backing higher would be able to get.

Did you check your library already? I had to manually download it from there. When you check the three DLCs the game itself will also download.

Sorry, should have made it clearer, I bought both the game physically and digitally as a backer. I haven't received yet any confirmation that my physical order has shipped (I live in France), but I hope the code will arrive tonight.

Oh ok i'm sorry for you. I hope you will get your code before the game unlocks.

\o/ It's real! I have my backer copy in my hands right now!!

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times already, but I have a friend who backed for a digital code and is wondering whether to expect it today or tomorrow. Does anyone know?

My copy is on the way, but it shipped from LA saturday at like 11PM. I'm in Québec, so I'm wondering if I'll have it by tomorrow.

It's no worries either way, as I have games to play currently.

It's a shame the backer slipcase isn't great but this sort of thing happens a lot. What you're really paying for is the big ticket physical items...and to help get the game made. I'm pretty sure backers had the exact same complaints with Bloodstained's case. The reality is publishers can afford to make nice steelbooks, while Kickstarter campaigns have to be more conservative with costs. All the backer rewards will be way more valuable than the the steelbook in the long run, anyway. Shouldn't be hard to grab one for cheap.

Anyway, I'm playing Shenmue III in 5 minutes...jesus!

It seems like the mediocre box art and the disappointing slip case/menu screen will be the last stand for Shenmue nonbelievers because everyone who's played Shenmue 3 likes/loves it. I expected nothing less from one of the all-time game design GOATs.
If the game is good then great but that doesn't excuse how poorly the kickstarter was run and how they treated their backers.

I do have to add that slipcase is cheap garbage. This should have been a steelbook or something.

Before even knowing if the game is good or anything, instant regret paying full-price for this lol.

Has there been confirmation on what the enhancements are when playing on the Pro?

I'm wondering this myself actually.

From what I can gather, it seems to be resolution north of 1080p and an unlocked framerate (don't know average fps or how stable it is). Perhaps some Pro users who have got their copy early and played it can comment?

Also, does anyone know if this game has HDR support on Pro? It seems to have a real Sega blue skies colourful vibrant feel to it so I imagine it would look great in HDR.

Checking the box it doesn't mention that it's Pro Enhanced, so that's disappointing.

Yeah, already downloaded and now just waiting patiently.

How do you have your digital copy?
Are you talking about the backer digital copy?
Because i backed the game on kickstarter and still no copy and I cannot download what I don't have!
On the page it says they will deliver 19 november.

This is the most I ever spent on a game ($300), and the mirrors and DC case are neat, but I did it mostly for Yu's signature and to make sure this game would happen <3
