sabertoothalex That’s quite an interesting way of going about this, even if, like, I don’t necessarily get the napkin math involved. Does someone anticipate that, like, there are ~ 125% of the required Kickstarter cash flush fans of Wild Arms out there to crowdfund a new spiritual successor to Wild Arms, but only ~ 75% of the same for Shadow Hearts? Is it to engender a feeling of obligation to back it even if you are only really interested in one of the two games, so as to not let down the fans of the other franchise?
There is a passage from The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made that I think about all the time, where Greg is explaining how Wiseau repeatedly stressed how groundbreaking and innovative The Room would be because they would be the first film ever to shoot in digital and 35mm simultaneously on the same (expensive and custom designed) camera rig, but as Greg and his ghostwriter expresses more eloquently, sometimes there are perfectly good reasons that no one else has been the first to do something novel for the first time.
I dunno. I’m a hater but I’m also not a hater, I can’t help but feel supportive overall of pseudo crowdfunding and spiritual successors. I was just thinking recently how it’d be cool if neo-westerns made a comeback, too.
