One important lesson about kickstarters is to never reveal your stretch goals in advance. It makes you come across as arrogant.

They're asking a lot of money for a very niche title. One people weren't exactly demanding either.
It's a scam anyway though as I'm sure Shawn Layden (Sony) will stump up some cash as Vib Ribbon is close to his heart.

A million for a rhythm game seems incredibly steep.

>furfag rapper simulator

it's a good thing people aren't throwing a million dollars at it

>>377043331
Not mention that people already got burned enough with kikestarter.

5 million for the Switch version? Good luck with that.

I'm still gonna donate to it, probably.
FAQ basically went into why it's a kickstarter (essentially: no one is willing to put money on this as an investment) so it's not like this is only partially funding it so the publisher can pick up the tab, this is funding an entire game.

1.1 million sounds close enough for me, plus, I haven't fallen for the 'throw money at a classic-reviving kickstarter' meme yet, so I might as well do it now since I care for Parappa/Gitaroo too much.

At least they're trying to innovate on top of their previous works and not just make a new game with the same mechanics, like Yooka-Laylee did.

>>377053105
The real problem is that people are going to stop falling for it more and more as time goes on and many turn out to be shit.
I'd rather have a sea of retards fund these things unquestioningly for the rest of time while I watch from a distance and benefit from the occasional good game being made, and just buy it like a normal person.

I don't think Sony would give these hopeless fucks 2 seconds let alone 2 minutes.

What about Nintendo Switch? It wouldn’t take almost 4 million to port it

Correct. We are building for four platforms while adding a game mode, extra difficulty (remember the cheerleader difficulty level in Elite Beat Agents) and extra levels (a music game lives and dies by its levels of course!). We also must factor in the various fees and cost of goods to fulfill backer shipments (including console platform fees) and the Kickstarter platform fee to make sure we can safely meet our goals. We do NOT want to be in a position where we are fabricating low goals and then failing to deliver because of that. We need to be sensible about our development resources and ensure we neither bankrupt our development studios nor under deliver on our vision of making the most innovative rhythm-action title in generations.

The ordering and pricing structure of our Stretch Goals are designed to protect the quality of Project Rap Rabbit and the viability of our development studios, and are not driven by any other agenda. We are desperately keen to develop Project Rap Rabbit for all major formats, and are tremendously excited by Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch version is set to a higher tier as it requires game data to be specifically adapted for the console from the PS4 and PC versions due to the differing performance characteristics of that platform.

Development of Project Rap Rabbit is well underway using Unreal Engine 4, which means we’re in a great position to port Project Rap Rabbit to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Because of format architecture and studio experience, it’s easier and less expensive for us to initially focus on PS4 and PC versions, followed by an Xbox One title. We must be mindful of the costs needed for development kits and extra staff, and conscious of the fact that this will be our first title for Nintendo’s new console if we hit our Stretch Goal. It is important that we ensure Project Rap Rabbit is fully polished and perfected for every launch platform.

Because large publishers have sucked every since ounce of creativity out of the video game production process. Kickstarters for vidya definitely fail, but anything above 1% chance is better than nothing.

Hit buttons to the rhythm? That's how most rhythm games work now. I'm interested in where they're going with the whole 'make your own raps' aspect.

Parappa's gameplay by itself is basic, but it's still fun. It's not like they were going to go full Osu! or Audiosurf with this shit, but their plans are neat-looking gameplay-wise.

>>377043259
Not really sure why the creators of Gitaroo Man would want to team up with a group of people with no talent for rhythm games.

>>377052206
well considering it's a rhythm game, they'd have to make up a whole bunch of new charts, and make sure that theyre timed right and etc.

>>377055809
I like how this game delivered almost nothing and was pretty much a bare minimum type affair.

One of the games I was looking forward to actually thinking they're gonna get a million dollars for a dead genre game of a culture classic.

If we are lucky half the money raised goes to the game while everything else is spent either in stupid shit or another project

>>377046221
Parappa wasn't even good.

I liked it as a kid too. God was I dissapointed when I went back and tried to play it.

It also looked like trash even for its time.

It's obvious why small developers resort to kickstarter but why big names resort to it, is their project so poorly thought that no big companies want their name on it?
Also no gameplay or even any tracks so people will know if the music is to their taste?

Gitaroo Man is one of my favourite games ever and I would never back this shit up. These guys haven't made a single good game in a shitload of years.

The main point everyone blew there loads over when this game was first announced was because of that one single person. And even at the end of the day, they were still wrong for thinking he was the father of Megaman, but still denied that fact to donate him hundreds.

It's so distracting how every song is exactly like a song from one of the previous three banjo games with just enough notes changed to not be struck with copyright infringement.

I dropped yooka laylee after the first boss because I shit you not it completely felt like some stupid shit taken out of a crappy unity tutorials
Worst part is I know exactly what happened, they run out of time but still had to include x amount of bosses because it was a stretch goal or something so they scaped together two, three bosses because that's better than nothing lol Wich is completely unprofessional and they didn't realize that's the fucking first boss, people will approach him around the second hour of playing the game and it's so bad it soils the entire thing
At least have the decency to make the first level of the game good from beginning to end, at least let people have that

Clearly Shantae is somehow the route of all kickstarter problems.

does it normally cost 500k to translate a game?

>>377057697
When you need to rewrite songs and hire voice actors/sound booths/sound engineers for all those languages? I can see it costing that much, honestly. Even if you do outsource them.

While this isn't anywhere in the same ballpark as like... Atlus games or anything, I imagine the whole point of this game being about rapping and singing does make it a bit harder than some people expect.

Bullshit. They would have showed us shitty gameplay rather than their concept art for gameplay. Remember when people saw this and thought "Wow! If the concept art looks this good I'm sure the game will look even better!"

Nips discovering that Kickstarting games based on shitty nostalgia working is fucking terrible.

>>377057697
Depends on whether the cutscenes are voiced or not, I guess.

It says menus and cutscenes only.

Yes when you consider it's 4 languages too

Wayforward was clearly stifling their talent considering Shantae and MSF are both garbage compared to SK. I still can't believe Yacht Club is ex Wayforward guys.

>>377058009
Huh, true. Kinda didn't notice that.
Well, if the cutscenes are voiced, then it still definitely makes sense money-wise. I was wondering why I kept thinking 500k wasn't as much as I expected it to be.

>>377058997
Parappa cost 1.1 million dollars (adjusted for inflation) back when it was made in 1997.
So, I mean... games cost a lot to make, dude.

Not the person you replied to and you're right games do cost a lot but asking this much right off the bat from fans with those stretch goals is fucking ridiculous. I want to know the shit they were smoking when they decided to make this and post it.

Not gonna lie I can see at least 1.6 million by the time I wake up tomorrow. (about 12 hours from now) I expect news outlets to cover it enough and eventually get more interest.

>>377059513
The shit they were smoking was 'we have literally no one else to turn to since no publisher has the balls to put money on this.'

At least they're being realistic about this and not trying to feed us false hope with small ass numbers. They need money to make a game, they want to make a good game. Whether or not they'll get the money, who knows, but it seemed like they didn't have anywhere else to turn to.

>>377059428
Of course not anon, you'd see how shit it is and how it looks nothing like the concept art and you wouldn't back it!

PaRappa was never good. The only thing it had going for it was that it had quirky characters.

I do agree there, but I still think people are overblowing how 'outrageous' this kickstarter is.

Then again, I can't really blame them, Kickstarter's past with reviving series concepts is pretty fucking shitty.

Man, I'm glad I never cared for Megaman, Banjo, or Parappa. Imagine seeing your childhood favorites dug out of their graves just to scam some people. Let your favorite games die gracefully. No good game deserves to come back in 2017.
Zweihander never ever ;~;

>>377055682
I think part of the thing that turns me off video game kickstarters is the potentially long wait times. For board game kickstarters the games are usually done or close to done rules wise so it just comes down to finalizing art and materials and then going into production. Wait time is usually a year. If they suck you can usually sell them to get some or most of your cash back.

With video games you don't know when or if it will be done and if it sucks you are out of luck.

Games wise I'm good with my steam backlog and the arcade cabinet I'm working on.

>>377060919
An Einhander sequel would feel nothing like the original. I don't think you could even recreate the atmosphere.

Ex-fucking-scuse me? It's called being modest with your stretch goals, retards.
Holding extra levels hostage as well for a game type that's already very short is also a fucking dick move. Same with making one of those levels "backer-only."

It'll probably be a Red Ash situation where the publisher swoops in anyway. I love Parappa and Gitaroo Man and I like the concept but I can't support this. Something just feels off.

>>377044673
Shantae has always been garbage and only pirate's curse is the closest thing to a decent game. The games are simply not very good and there's no hook besides the girls. Even the best game in that series (pirate's curse) doesn't draw me in, what I mean by that is like playing the game for an extended period of time while time passes by and not realizing I've been playing so long after looking at the clock. Mediocre uncompelling gameplay at best all those games are, but hey fap material for the female characters is at least good right?

>>377063832
What's Project Pheonix? Who's working on it? Nice job on them getting funded over 10x base.

>>377063726
I don't know about Red Ash's story, but the FAQ for this one was pretty explicit with the whole 'many publishers afraid to invest in the rhythm-action genre we’ve been unable to secure the funds to make Project Rap Rabbit' and 'We have turned to Kickstarter to secure the funding for Project Rap Rabbit. If we do not meet this goal we will, sadly, be unable to continue with development.'

>>377046221
Parappa gameplay wise was always mess, mild entertainment at best (from the lyrics not actual gameplay) to frustrating at worst.

>have no gameplay footage or anything to show other than concept art
>wants 1 million shekels
I was tempted when I first heard that this was a thing but the fact that its a kikestarter project essentially kills any optimism I had for this game,
SERIOUSLY, 1 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS FOR 6 LEVELS OF A FUCKING PARAPPA 2.0 FURFAGS EDITION?
They're fucking joking if they think they'll get shit without any gameplay footage. Unless the music and the gameplay looks good why the fuck should anyone waste a cent on supporting this obvious scam?
