As reported earlier, PaRappa the Rapper developer Masaya Matsuura and Gitaroo Man creator, Keiichi Yano will be collaborating to create a brand new rhythm game IP titled Project Rap Rabbit. While little information was available then, now the cat's out of the bag and a KickStarter campaign has been revealed. Here's the plot for the game: With 35 days to go, the KS campaign has set a goal of £855,000. The game is slated for a PS4 and PC release, with an estimated delivery date for August 2018. £30 will get you a digital copy on a format of your choice and £35 will get you a physical copy. Check out the KS campaign for more details on the story and the Rapping System! SOURCE: GBAtemp Inbox Kickstarter Campaign
£35 + P&P. Just not worth it for a kickstarter. Looks like might be fun but clearly they are targetting the cutsey market.
£855,000 goal....God damn..... God i hate rhythm games tho.. who thought this was a good idea should rap to the death with eminem... here is a start for them.
They missed their chance of a having a Dinosaur themed rhythm game called Rap Raptors. Im down with the T-Rex getting jiggy with it.
Not unheard of as example PoE 2: Deadfire made $4.4 million out of projected $1.1 million. But I'm a bit skeptical about rhythm games on regards of broader appeal. Hopefully they make it work out as this could be a nice game to waste time on a console.
castlevania... Yes please shenmue 3... Yes please a rhythm game with a £855,000 goal... for a niche market... ouch. i hope it does reach its goal. but idk, if people get what they want.
lmao If it was sanic i would throw da moni... no wait i don't have any moni ;-; i mean i would throw da torrentz e.e
Disappointed Sony isn't officially supporting them and instead they have to use Kickstarter. I'm guessing the dev team of MotorStorm will crank up something similar in the future.
For the sake of the industry, I hope no one backs this. We can't just keep throwing money at unfinished nostalgia cash-ins before they've even made them.
I mean I like the people behind it a lot, and I'm hopeful for anything they produce. I just really don't want to waste money on a crowd funded project. More power to them though.
Those stretch goals, holy fuck. Over a million to fund the game but one extra level that's backer exclusive is another $700,000? Almost 3 million to get something as basic as multiplayer and $500,000 past that to get something as basic as a difficulty selection? No gameplay either, only concept art. We all know how Mighty Number 9 looked compared to the concept art.
Something tells me this is gonna go the wayside of that apocalypse now game Kickstarter. Except the Apocalypse now game actually sounded interesting.
I think you're misreading it. There will be three difficulty levels in the base game, that stretch goal will add a fourth to it. Honestly, it looks interesting to me and I'd consider backing it if kickstarter supported a payment method I could actually use. I hope they make it, but I don't really expect them to actually reach the goal.
