just want to say this is great news

and before any of y'all try to go all faux-AVGN in this topic i'mma just say opinions exist and everything

but if you don't think the character designs and atmosphere of shaq fu were really imaginative you are absolutely wrong

i hope to also see the same thing if this ever comes to fruition. because if the gameplay were fixed up shaq fu could have been a legitimately great game

let's just hope the developers for this won't be making this intentionally bad or anything

It's like a late Christmas present.

From what I understand, the PAL versions of the game were a bit more polished in terms of input commands and AI. Controls were still wonky but it was more playable than the versions we got here.

You guys thing that the developers would get a few ideas from The_None's Shaq?

"We're not asking you for any more than we need"
+ Shaq is already paying for a good bit of the game
+ Shaq is filthy rich and can obviously fund the entire game himself without a problem
+ Filthy rich, extravagantly wealthy multi-millionaries shouldn't EVER be asking people for small amounts of money that they can easily pay themselves
+ They don't "need" anything from us except a demonstration of interest, which can be proven in other ways that don't cost fans a blind investment in a product they have no guarantees for
+ Any implication for "financial need" for this capital is an outright lie


"you’re putting your hard earned cash on the table so that we can make this a reality"
+ You're implying that it will be a reality only as long as we pay $450,000
+ This gives the impression that the game cannot be made without an extra $450,000 from fans, and that's deceitful as again, Shaq is filthy rich and can easily float the cost

then help us ... reach our stretch goals.
+ If the $450,000 is already a demonstration that fans really want the game, why are you offering MORE opportunities to exploit the fans? Shaq is already filthy rich, and we've already given you $450,000, so why do you need even MORE to unlock MORE content? Can't we just get the content for free? Can't Shaq pay for this to compensate for the fact that we just made him $450,000 richer for a product we're blindly putting our faith in?

$15,000 to play basketball at Shaq's house and Shaq may not even be there
$25,000 for Dinner with Shaq
+ It's just egotistical. A simple dinner with Shaq is literally worth the price of a nice new car? Really? It can't be any more realistic than that? The honour of Shaq gracing you with 2 hours of his time is worth all of that money?
+ These rewards just rub me the wrong way.
