[XaviConcept]

They talk about that on the FAQ.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Still kind of dodgy because a 50k goal is nowhere close to the actual cost but hey, make your money

 

[Vorkken]

Awww yeeaah! And dang, that Wonder-Red jacket is so nice looking.

 

[FTF]

Wow it's at $200k already?!? Ok I was wrong about the $500k ps4 maybe not happening lol

 

[smisk]

Utterly bonkers. Gonna hit the PC goal in the next hour at this rate.

 

[Zutrax]

Bout to dump $60 into this bad boy as soon as I get home for a physical copy. I hope this franchise can make a smashing comeback through the word of mouth it's gotten, it's a brilliant game.

 

[Tatsu91]

i think the switch version would have happened no matter what the KS is mainly for the PC and ps4 versions to see if their is an audience for it

 

[Deleted member 3017]

Backed the physical version. My second KS after Shovel Knight, way back in 2013.

 

[Huey]

I'll buy it when its out. These guys got their Tencent money, they dont need to crowdfund, its silly marketing gimmicks

interesting - do you have a ballpark at what this kind of a port would cost?

 

[leder]

Man, have to go all the way to $330 to get the full CD soundtrack. Meh, I'll just wait for retail.

 

[asd202]

I wonder what can we expect from the Platinum in house PC port.

 

[Dusk Golem]

$200,000 in 45 minutes!

Insiders said that Nintendo didn't wanted it

Click to shrink...

Hmmmm who do we believe "insiders" or

remember when Nintendo's final stage E3 unveiling their new cosnole featured a long look at a year old Batman port and ended on Nintendoland fireworks

and then afterward, Geoff Keighley suddenly revealed that there was a brand new exclusive Platinum game for the system that had been left out of the conference

and the trailer started with closeups of unfinished models of tiny npcs who are normally 8 pixels tall in-game, and tons of people thought it was some garbage cheapo mobile game crap done for pennies and wondered what based super ps4 next-gen game kamiya-sama was making

and then kamiya said "this is my game" and people had no idea what the fuck

Click to shrink...

Remember when the game then had its own Nintendo Direct hosted by Kamiya?

They just need the money to self-publish the game it seems, not for the whole development.

 

[StallionDan]

If I want a PS4 port, why would I donate if I'm not sure it'll even reach that. If someone wants a Switch version, why donate if it already over 50k?

That way it done seems bad.

 

[D.Dragoon]

So does Platinum own the IP or does Nintendo and they are letting them port it to other platforms?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Wow the money is flying in. They're gonna hit that steam goal today at this rate.

im very interested in the stretch goals. More story DLC? Alternate characters? Challenge modes? Versus???

 

[FormatCompatible]

Dangen is involved as of early last week when they sent out a followup PR email making sure journalists didn't have additional questions. The fact that them burying it by not putting it on the KS page means they're not involved is sadly wishful thinking.

Click to shrink...

Thanks for the clarification, sucks that they are involved in any capacity.

 

[Deleted member 45414]

I've put in what I'd spend on the full game at full price :) Sucks that dangen is involved, but I really want this game to happen.

The latter

 

[Capra]

Mash the refresh key to save the planet

 

[Renfran]

Just passed 200k. We can do it guys. Let's put it on everything.

 

[Deleted member 198]

So how much do you have to donate for a digital copy?

 

[Mr_F_Snowman]

Oops

 

[Lightjolly]

Nice switch is gauranteed. Pc could also make it. Ill pick either

 

[JCal]

Still has a ways to go for $500k. Come on baby. Let's get this PS4 version!

 

[Oscarzx n]

Those "bad look Nintendo" posts look kind of stupid now that we know Nintendo were actually willing to bring it to Switch despite how much of a bomb it was the first time around.

Click to shrink...

And a game being a succesful Kickstarter doesn't mean it will be just as succesful sales wise, see Shenmue III.

 

[Serene]

So how much do you have to donate for a digital copy?

Click to shrink...

~$40

 

[Gilver]

In which universe would Tencent invest in a port of a game that sold 4 copies.

 

[Oregano]

If I want a PS4 port, why would I donate if I'm not sure it'll even reach that. If someone wants a Switch version, why donate if it already over 50k?

That's how the vast majority of kickstarters work.

Hell for a lot of Wii U and Vita fans it was a case of funding those versions and hope they don't get cancelled anyway.

 

[borntoulouselautrec]

Metal Gear Rising is the answer.

 

[Coztoomba]

It went up 60k in the time it took to drink my coffee :O

 

[Renfran]

Nintendo is giving them permission. It's co-owned by PG\Nintendo.

 

[Shoichi]

The Platinum and Nintendo relationship looks like it will be strong for a good while with that Q&A interview
(since it keeps getting lost)

[Mifec]

40k more and the game is preserved forever.

 

[Beedig]

I can't back because this KS doesn't accept Discover :(

That's an extremely solid port for PC

Oh yeah, count on the Steam version in the next ten or fifteen minutes. I'm looking forward to the stretch goals, as well.
Give me playable Kamiya.

 

[Yazuka]

And there!
Now I've done my parts and I'm so looking forward to play this game.

 

[Vic Damone Jr.]

How can the game be ready by April?

[Soul Lab]

DUDE. THE CASH IS ROLLING IN.
SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

 

[Suicide King]

Wonder how many hundreds it will sell this time.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

210k already.

Holy crap, I'm so happy about this.

Because you can get the Switch version for cheaper than it will be later

Kamiya is already playable in the base game.
