After making well over 4 million dollars with their original

More money for more stuff. Not as bad as asking for more money to just complete the project.

Scam.

>>255773896
If they release the game even without getting voice acting (and later releasing the voice as a free optional patch) It's fine by me, if not's they can go fuck themsleves for being a massive scamlord.

>>255773896

Game is looking shit anyway. Not what we were expecting.

>>255773896
If you think it's a good idea, then put in your money. If you think it's a bad idea, then don't put in your money. There is no "demand". It's really that simple.

I don't think it's an unreasonable asking price. I never expected to have voice acting prior to this new stretch goal. He never promised voice acting prior to this new stretch goal.

>>255774737
Man, I wish the game looked like that.

>>255774759

You still have faith in this man/project?

>>255774945
My faith was never in the man. My faith was in his dedication to working on video games. He may be a business man, but he's also a leader capable of assembling and managing a team far more skilled than himself. Leadership in project development is undervalued in this medium.

>>255775516
>My faith was in his dedication to working on video games.

This is the guy who criticized his own industry for being behind the times, suggested DMC be given to western devs (look how well that turned out, business wise) and then promptly ran off to revitalize his dead industry with...another Megaman game.

He's awful.

>>255775516

All the footage they've provided thus far has looked incredibly poor though

>>255775516
Maybe he should round them up to make a good game.

>>255776145
>(look how well that turned out, business wise)

Isn't DMC the best selling Devil may Cry game out of all of them?

>>255773896

What I want to to know is why all of you faggots are all over Inafune's balls as though Inti-Creates have ever once made a bad game in this style.

I'll take all the Inti-Creates games I can get my hands on. If the stretch goals for this don't fill up then I don't give a fuck, I'll still buy the game when it comes out and you can suck my dick.

>>255776757

It's actually the worst selling Devil May Cry. It did less than half of what DMC4 did.

>>255776757
If you ignore its sales, yes.

>>255774737
3d was a bad idea for this project imo. The concept art had the perfect style.

>want to support Inti and the big names working on Mighty no. 9
>don't want to give Inafune a cent
>can't get physical rewards anymore anyway if I did

Ain't this a bitch.

>>255776145
I don't understand, what any of this has to do with his ability to develop Megaman Rip-off.
>This is the guy who criticized his own industry for being behind the times
He was kind of right in a way. A lot of developers were re-using the same stagnant ideas.
>suggested DMC be given to western devs
Not his fault it was given to a studio who wasn't capable.
>and then promptly ran off to revitalize his dead industry with...another Megaman game.
But he's not trying to revitalize the industry. He said he's trying to merge the old concepts that people still love, with new ideas. And I'm seeing some new ideas for this game.

>>255776158
I disagree.

>>255776567
What?

>>255776786

You're the one all over Inafune's balls, Anon. You're getting them nice and wet

This was always an obvious scam

>>255777239
>What?
Maybe instead of rounding up a bunch of people to put out this crap, why not make them do a good job, since he's their boss and all?

>>255776145

This is actually an enormous misconception. He advocated Capcom to give their IP to western devs, like bionic commando and DMC, but he didn't have a say in the specific devs. He didn't specifically advocate that shitty Swedish team or Ninja Theory. In fact, he's said a bunch of time that many of these games turned out to be failures was because Capcom refused to communicate well enough with the devteams, and the dev teams refused to communicate with Capcom.

So the notion of western devs doing their IP in it of itself isn't flawed, it's the execution. Wayforward's Ducktales remake was solid for example.

>>255773896
I've met the man and he's probably the most humble developer out there. He was the first to come out and criticize the xenophic Japanese game industry. People praised him for this shit, whilst the same crowd probably lashed out at Phil Fish.

This fucking guy created Onimusha.

He even respects Kamiya as a game developer - even when one of you faggots tried to tell him at SGC that Kamiya hated him.

>>255776145
>revitalize his dead industry with...another Megaman game.

He made Soul Sacrifice before MN9 but of course you would conveniently ignore that.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. They're still filling the game with content. So far, we've only seen the basic concept, of run > shoot > dash. Which is the basis of what makes Mega Man.

Kamiya doesn't hate Inafune. He thinks he's a great Business Man! :^)

>>255777545
he's only credited as the conceptor, that doesn't really say how much of a hand he had in making it. Sure he pitched it and that was what made the ball start rolling but others on the team might have had a bigger role than him

>>255777476
>most humble developer out there

No he's not. He's not even a developer firstly. He labels himself as the creator of Mega Man which is a blatant lie. He's never really done anything of value.

>>255777239
>Not his fault it was given to a studio who wasn't capable.

It IS though. Considering the only good games to come from his whole Western Cocksucking were Dead Rising 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed and BC09. Maximo was an amazing game too, but it was from well before he was in charge. Oh and remember the time Inafune got another really cheap, awful western dev to work on a Japanese series. You know, Ninja Gaiden?

He's had PLENTY of times to prove it's a good idea, but given the fact he never actually finds competent studios. At least Capcom recently hired Wayforward to do Ducktales.

>>255777404
You should read up on BC09's development, most of it's issues were Capcom's executive meddling.

>>255777476
Yoshiki Okamoto created Onimusha. Inafune wasn't the creator of Mega Man either.

>>255773896

I always wondered why the fuck Inafune always has looked so "off". He keeps some sort of weird stubble mustache shit going on, what the fuck is that? Guy has looked weird since I first saw him. Nigga's face looks like its tilted to the side and shit.

>>255777682
Yeah, and it all looks like shit.

>>255777861
Are you fucking kidding me? Keiji worked on almost all of the original Rockman games; almost dying from malnutrition during 3. He is a developer.

>>255773896
Now we know why Capcom didn't want to work with this fucker. It all makes sense now.

>>255777782

Infanue doesn't program or direct games and hasn't had a direct involvement outside of concept design or as producer in almost 20 years you retard. It's the same thing for Mighty Number 9. He's not doing design or direction for it, he only created the concept, just like with Soul Sacrifice. Both are still Comcept games.

>>255777923
>It IS though.
How? Did he pick the studios himself? he obviously didn't run Capcom. What power did he have?

>>255778015

Sorry, but no. He's an artist, mostly for monsters/enemies. He didn't even design Mega Man himself. Mega Man's look was already done before Inafune was brought on.

Western devs don't get what makes action games so good, period. I'm playing Shinobi right now, never in a million years could a western Dev make a game like this.

Maybe we should give Street Fighter to the MK9/Injustice Developers too while we're at it.

>but he didn't have a say in the specific devs.

He SPECIFICALLY chose Ninja Theory because he thought they made games that felt like "movies" which is what he wanted DMC to feel like. Then he specifically told ninja Theory to make Dante as different and western as possible when Ninja Theory showed about of concept art heavily based on the original series.

And Grin actually made both Bionic Commando Rearmed which are both fucking great games. They were chosen for their past work on the series and they actually wanted to make it as wacky and dumb as possible, just like the Rearmed games. And surprise, surprise, Inafune told them to make it as gritty, serious and western as possible when he saw the first alpha footage. This is why Nathan Spencer's alternate skin, the retro skin, had some much animation detail during cutscenes such as lifting his glasses when he's used scopes and shit. Because that actually was his original skin.

The man was Director of Overall Game development and Research, he had ALL the power he could have and then some. He literally couldn't climb more in the development ladder, he only had to answer to the board.

>This is actually an enormous misconception.

Speak for yourself. All of this shit is in several interviews online, either said by Inafune's co-workers or Inafune himself. You can stop being a shameless apologist sheep now, you're only demeaning yourself.

>>255778801
Oh, look... It's THIS post again.

>>255777545

So he just wanted to make one game then go back to stagnating, okay, he's a visionary for sure. The hero the Japanese Industry needs.

Meanwhile Kamiya makes the only game worth a damn on the WiiU in terms of using the fucntions of the damn console and it's NOTHING like any game currently out (inb4 Pikmin herp derp).

>>255778508

If they got way more than enough money, why don't they use the extra for additional content?

It's called greed anon

>>255778647

Doesn't really mean he had a say. And shareholders could easily override his actual suggestions for development and make him pick studies that would be cheaper and more efficient at ploping out games. For example, if he wanted to team up with CD Projekt Red hypothetically for an open world Onimusha game, Capcom could argue that they would take too much time to make it and they want a game out in 2 years and not 3-5 years and tell him to go to some shit studio like Ninja Theory to churn out a shit game much faster.

Yes, but all you did so far was say "shit" and "awful" without telling us WHY you think that. When you make a statement like that, a mere "no it's not" would easily counter it.

Anyone got that interview where Capcom shito n NT designs for DmC?

It was like:

>Capcom : "So why does this Demon have a wristblade? Does he attack with it?"

>DmC: "Nah, we just thought it looked cool"

I bet Capcom were smiling there while internally were like 'I've made a huge mistake.jpg'

>>255779063

Comcept's also putting out Azure Striker Gunvolt and put out Bugs vs Tanks. But you can keep lying to both yourself and everyone else.

I don't know what Kamiya has to do with any of this, because Kamiya doesn't own or run Platinum and is just a designer/director. He doesn't run the company like Inafune runs Comcept. Different jobs and responsibilities.

>That shit level design
>Enemy horde room

Well, there goes any hopes I had for this being good.

>>255779641
Natsume was actually the developer of Bugs vs. Tanks. All Inafune and Comcept did for it was give the idea.

>>255779396

And it's technically inferior to DMC3 as well as arguably, a fucking nightmare of over use of bloom and terrible coloring.

Grin was actually fucking pissed at Inafune's requests concerning the direction of the game. The entire team was basically doing something they never did (Gritty serious shit) and they snuck some goofy shit here and there throughout the game.

There's actually plenty of interviews that popped out after Grin closed talking about how discontent they were in general while making the game. That and Square Enix being absolutely fucking retarded while working with a game dev. SE was so fucking stupid in dealing with them, that it was part of the reason why they bought Eidos Interactive.

>>255779387

No it doesn't. Top investors/board have the final say. Are YOU fucking retarded that you literally didn't read my post?

>>255779396

>Too bad it took Ninja Theory over 3 years to developer DmC.

Development started in late 2010 and finished in 2012 and the remaining period was spent marketing the game. That's 2 years of dev time. But even if it took 3 years, sometimes shit happens and games have to get delayed. However, the point is that shareholders could easily pick a studio that promises to get a game out in 2 years over a studio that will make a better game but will take longer.

There's a reason a game Inafune has worked on in the last six years hasn't sold well. Or gotten good reviews. Funny how most of his games lately are by bottom of the barrel western teams too.

Honestly, how can someone like Inafune have fans anyway?

>>255777404
He convinced Tecmo and Capcom to outsource to Spark Unlimited: makers of 'masterpieces' like Turning Point. Let that sink in for a moment.

To be fair Shinobi PS2 is mediocre. The level design is passable, the latter half of the game suffers from a terrible camera that leads to istant deaths and having to wait specific attacks to onehit kill bosses was a terrible mechanic, especially for the final boss.

Ah Inafune, one of the biggest dickheads in the gaming industry who has spent the entire last gen whining about Japanese devs, not because they're actually less competent than their Western counterparts, but because Inafune himself is a fraud and hack who couldn't design, direct, or create a good game if his life depended on it.

Fuck that self-xenophobic crybaby; his ideas are downright poisonous and should be scorned and ridiculed at every chance

>>255773896
Why is it suddenly cool to hate on Keiji Inafune? He's made a shit load of good games, and now you all hate him?

>>255782125
Yes. The new funding is for new content only. No money from the old campaign will go to the new goals, and vice-versa.

>>255782382
For all of the shit he gives Japan, the fact he's worked on an Idea Factory game is hilarious. Not even fucking Japan likes Idea Factory, they call them Idea Fuck over there.

>>255776145
>>This is the guy who criticized his own industry for being behind the times

I can kinda see where he's coming from. Japanese companies used to dominate the market in the 90's with Konami, Square Soft, Capcom, Namco, Tecmo, Irem,Treasure, SNK etc constantly releasing new hits and being at the top of developers.

Now most of these companies are dead, merged, or losing money like crazy while a western company like Activision is able to make more money then any game company has ever made on just one IP.

The only real big Japanese IPs I can think of that are doing well right now are Metal Gear and the Souls series and they copy western themes

At Capcom he was both "upper management" (highest development related role) and part of the board of directors.

Having two of his projects being developed by the same team under different publishers is a bit too much of a coincidence in any case, especially since TK wouldn't have had any reasons to choose Spark, as they had never worked on action games.

>>255782401
What did he make exactly?

Mega Man was by Akira Kitamura and produced by Tokruo Fujiwara. Inafune only became producer after Fujiwara left Capcom.

He did art direction for the first game, and actually pushed forward the development for Mega Man 2, despite Capcom's skepticism after MM1 performed less than expected in sales. If it wasn't for him, Mega Man would be one game, not a series.

>>255782341
>To be fair Shinobi PS2 is mediocre.

Like I said, it was perfect, you're wrong.

> The level design is passable,

No, you see, Shinobi aims for simplicity and to do one thing and do it well which is fast paced arcade kills, Ninja Gaiden style levels would slow it down.

And no one will ever convince me the camera in Shinobi is bad, I once heard people say the pitfalls were a flaw in this game which was amazing, people just need to get better.

If people can speed run this (including shuriken throwing off screen obelisks) with barely enough time to move the camera at all then that's enough proof for me.

As for the boss thing, you make it sound easy, it isn't. That's why it's satisfying.

>>255782913
For 250k, that documentary better sweep all the film festivals.

>>255782648

They do not really need to spend all of it, as long as they deliver what was promised.

Basically, they could spend half of it and use the rest on marketing or other projects.

>>255782913

Stretch goals do not represent the actual cost, they are just extras to incentivate donations. For example, the making-of documentary was tied to a 250k donations goal and it sure as hell does not cost that much.

There's nothing difficult about it, it's just tedious. You spend 10 minutes running around waiting for the boss to do a specific attack and nothing else.

>>255783159
That money doesn't go exclusively to stretch goals, but to the game development in general.

For example, if the game hadn't broken the initial 900k goal, they wouldn't be using Unreal Engine, making it more difficult to port the game.

>>255781750
As far as I know, he came up with the original design of Megaman and worked on the early Megaman games as an concept artist/character designer/object designer. He eventually climbed the ranks to be the (sometimes executive) producer of games. However, people seem to think that because he came up with the illustration/concept of the Megaman character, because he was "involved" in the early games' development in some way, and because he later became a "producer", that he is actually some kind of actual game designer or programmer who actually has any meaningful talent gameplay-wise, that he was actually the whole reason why those Megaman games were good, rather than the directors/designers/project leads behind them. Man makes a good artist, apparently he also worked as a designer in the original Street Fighter and Ducktales games, that combined with the designs from Megaman make a fucking awesome portfolio, but he didn't design gameplay mechanics or program anything into them. He's also "produced" some good games, like Lost Planet, Dragon's Dogma, Minish Cap and Ghost Trick, but there's a difference between "producing" and "directing", in a way it could be said to be similar to the relationship between a publisher and a developer, the publisher is at the top and/or provides funding as well as making some calls, but the developer is the real one behind the game.

What this means, though, is that Mighty No. 9 won't necessarily be bad. If Inafune sticks to his traditional role of illustration and production, and hires competent people for direction, design, and so on, then there's no reason it can't be like some of the many Megaman games he's produced, or those games like Dragon's Dogma that he produced. All we can do is wait for the game to be released and see

They also go to all other aspects of the development itself. See >>255783451

Right, but once you take out the fixed development costs from 4 million, you are left with a ton of salary money. Am I really supposed to believe you can't afford to have 4 talented, but not famous, VAs come in and read a substantial amount of lines within the budget?

Inafune wasn't the only person who worked on Mega Man 2. It was the whole team doing it in private. It was Fujiwara's first Mega Man on top of that.

>>255783406

10 minutes? You're exaggerating a lot here. You wait about 30 seconds on most bosses and longer for later ones to get enough minion spawns.

I just did 2-A and that boss instantly starts off with like 6 Dogs, takes 5 seconds to 1 hit kill him.

Not the norm, but yeah, not every boss is the same, granted the last boss is a fucking asshole but he's a standout due to that reason.

On top of that, it would still have to be our IP, which is what we want. I can’t foresee that happening. We really want this to be our thing.

>>255783812

If an A list actor gets 20 million for a movie, a D list anime voice actor on the level of Johnny Young Bosch or whatever could easily demand 50k for a role.

This makes no sense. Why would anyone want voice acting? 200k to make them not have voice acting would be realistic.

>>255780362
this

>>255784274
The Simpsons has 5 or 6 VAs that do maybe a few hundred characters between the lot of them.

South Park does pretty much the same thing.

You'll need two female VAs for both En and JP Beck and Call, as well as any other characters you want to do. You'll need two male VAs for any bosses and doctors or whatever.

That's 4 talented VAs that can cover your entire cast.

>26
If that's true, than Kamiya has never been more right about anything. It's a fucking indie game, and he needs to act like it.

>>255784149
the fact he opened that door before anything even happened just shows how greedy he is

>>255784929

Trey Parker and Matt Stone get MILLIONS to do South Park. The Simpsons VAs get hundreds of thousands of dollars to do their work. They also have the ability to demand high sums of money because they are irreplaceable iconic voices.

Complaining about 200k for an ENTIRE VA budget is fucking childish and baby tier, you're a moron.

>>255784929

Shouldn't he get sued or something? This guy is starting to seem like a big thieving jew

>>255785223
Parker and Stone do all the non-women voices and they basically write episodes every week.

The Simpsons VAs get hundreds of thousands every episodes because they're good VAs and they've been doing the same show for 20 years.

Voice acting for a game this calibre is not 200k worthy. It's worth a couple hundreds and coupons to McDonalds

>>255785246
No, I'm saying he needs to understand that sacrifices need to be made and creative limitations need to be set. If you can't afford to spend 100 million dollars on a game, you need to find creative solutions to get around that.

There are tons of people who have made indie games with exceptional voice acting and 200k would be a more than substantial % of their total budget.

>>255785223
They can demand that because they are famous. There's no reason why MN9, a brand new indie IP needs VAs of that caliber.

>>255785482

They certainly got more than 200k to air South Park from the start. If that was what people sell shows to network for TV wouldn't exist at all you sperglord. You're wrong, deal with it.

I don't think that The Simpson's cast asks for an outrageous amount outside of the show either, because Dan Castelleneta is still in plenty of things outside of The Simpsons. Like Kingdom Hearts, since he voiced Genie in the Aladdin show and second film.

>>255785685
>>255785775

You missed the point of my post because you're stupid, but if they command that much money, D list anime voice actors can easily demand 20k-50k for a role, so the budget makes sense.

>>255785784
It's a moot argument, you can't compare what two show creators are getting for their complete package with what voice actors are making. You can look at the fact that it doesn't take much voice acting to make a huge cast and see how that would beneficial for a medium budget game though.

Actually the Simpsons was sold to Fox for quite a lot of money.

No, no, no, no. Completely wrong, people need to take into account that DMC1 is not a combo action game and that it's not about how limited Dante's moveset seems its about enemy AI and moveset too.

Like how the 'fodder' enemies in DMC1 are actually a threat whereas Prides are the very definition of Fodder, the great enemies in DMC3 like the Archnae get left by the wayside because unlike Sloths they're hard to launch and jump cancel on for fucking ever.

Enemies in DMC1 are actually fun to fight, DMC3 enemies make great punching bags, gimme' a Shadow over a Sloth any day.

And as far as Boss goes, they're mechanically as deep as DMC3' are, if not more in the case of bosses like Nightmare. As far as recycled bosses go, they're pretty different each time, I'm not going to pretend they're a different boss but you can't say Griffon 1 is the same as Griffon 2 in the same way Vergil 1,2 and 3 are also different.

What matters is the whole product --- the Mega Man ripoff, the Zero rip off, the Roll ripoff, the power stealing, the interface, etc. and it doesn't matter if they didn't actually use Capcom's data/assets. They are making a Mega Man game under a new name with a nudge & a wink and it's not legal. Capcom has every right to take legal action, and they would win.

>>255788456
After the whole She Who Will Not Be Named incident, it just snowballed to the point where Inafune was behind 9/11 and started the downfall of gaming by himself

>>255787993
What I don't fucking understand is why anybody would support anything without a fucking business plan. Some fancy Kickstarter pitch page does not fucking hack it.

Before I commit a single dollar I need to see a breakdown of why they set their target goal at X dollars. Rent, wages, equiptment, materials, utilities, whatever. The timeframe to get the project off the ground. The rough scope of the project and in the case of video games: levels, play time, replay features, the inclusion of multiplayer, etc.

I don't care if they need more money afterwards, shit happens.

But for most Kickstarters there's no fucking business plan presented before OR after the money is raised. How the fuck can you hold these people accountable if you have no numbers to work with?

I've supported Kickstarters before. And they all had a breakdown of their costs. People who support this shit blindly are stupid.

>>255788864
It's sorta funny how Inafune gave Okamoto shit for leaving Capcom to work on Genji for Sony, since it was a Onimusha clone.

But then Inafune leaves Capcom to work on Mighty no. 9, a Mega Man clone. THIS TIME, HE NEEDED TO BEG FOR MONEY THOUGH. What a fucking hypocrite.

>>255789053
Pretty sure he left bro.

>>255789040
>and it's not legal
You have yet to prove it's not legal and that's what we are discussing you either prove that or stop posting.

>>255789008
>a successor
Don't remove words to fit your own argument.
Faithful successor.
Successor is garbage like the iPhone game.
Faithful successor is Megaman X
Clone is Megaman 9

This was marketed as a Megaman X, instead it's X7.

>>255784669
He knows better than anyone, after all he worked for Capcom for some time

>>255789215
There's more than one person on the MN9 defense force.

>>255788456
>>255789047
In fact, I'd go so far as to say we'd all be jumping to give Inafune more money if it weren't for the big forum scandal. But I haven't even looked at the backer forum in months, because anyone that says something Bitchtits doesn't like gets banned. I imagine most backers feel the same way. Way to alienate your moneymakers, Inafune!

I'm pretty sure if Capcom wanted to do this they could but I bet the legal fees alone would sink them at this point so they're holding off. Probably wouldn't help their dwindling fan base as well.

Let's just hope no one exploits people's love for Mega Man any further.

Except me. But my thing's going to be great, so support it.

They are desperate. And scammers.

>>255789118
Because they're folks with experience in the industry who we decided to put our faith in. Stop acting like ALL IS LOST, THE PROJECT IS RUINED, INAFUNE TOOK THE MONEY AND RAN. You people are so fucking stupid it causes me physical pain.

>>255789263
I'm not whoever it is you've been circle jerking with.

It wasn't marketed as anything other than a Megaman successor, something that is an homage to the things we enjoy about Megaman.

>waaaah X7
We haven't seen enough of the game to even judge it like X7. Stop being such a baby.

>>255789118
Your mistake is in thinking most people have any understanding of how real businesses get started. Most people have never approached a bank for a proper loan.

Internet people think they can throw money at something and it will magically appear. As I'm sure you know, business doesn't work like that. Ever.

Addressing legal action from Capcom...

>That being said, Mega Man is Mega Man because it's my style. It's my artistic style that created that character. Beck, in Mighty No. 9, is also a character that I've created. If the idea is that I should try to stop creating characters via my style

In another interview, Inafune admits that he didn't even come up with Mega Man, someone else did. Which is it?

>>255789118
I didn't back it for this exact reason. I kept thinking, oh that's cool. but where's the budget.

I'm curious how they were ever going to make the game with just the goal. A lot of the stretch goal features have been included in releases with an under 1 million budget.

>>255789367
>even bringing her up
Fucking stop. Right now. You know damn well what's going to happen if you do.

I don't get this thread, you retards act like the game is never coming out, that shit is on fire, that Inafune is embezzling everything and some sort of evil lizardjew mastermind. What the absolute fuck?

>>255789651
Didn't Inafune create the overall artistic style of the series, like seen in the Japanese MM1 box art? That smooth, almost fleshy look for robot masters and such?

>>255789534
>something that is an homage to the things we enjoy about Megaman
Yeah exactly, and MN9 looks nothing like that.
Making a blue dude with a blaster and a blonde companion isn't an homage to what we enjoy about Megaman.

>We haven't seen enough of the game to even judge it like X7
Except the gameplay video that overall looked like it plays like X7.
You don't need to see hours of gameplay to get an idea of what the core mechanics are going to feel like in your hands, it's all based on Animation speeds and physics, all of which can be visually identified in the short gameplay we've seen.

>>255789651
The two don't contradict each other. The statement is that Beck and Mega Man have stylistic similarities because that's just the way Inafune draws. That has nothing to do with him coming up with the concept of Mega Man.

>>255789534
Faith is not a substitute for a business plan. Neither is reputation. A business plan is entry level shit; everyone has to do it. Like a resume for a job, transcripts for scholarships, passports for entry into a country, water for a fucking swimming pool.

>>255789118
> How the fuck can you hold these people accountable if you have no numbers to work with?
Even if they had, you couldn't kickstarter is free money with no strings attached, and as you say usually nothing substantial is presented beforehand, save for a vague bare bones concept.

The only one I ever backed, and probably will, was an adjustment of an already existing product made by the company behind the KS, that weren't a bunch of fucking has beens like $chafer.

>>255789951
No, technical limitations and Astro Boy did that. Inafune was just told to draw up the logo.

... And nothing about this has anything to do with the goddamn gameplay!

>>255789534
Why would you put your faith in something like that? I'm personally against Kickstarter in general, but I'm somewhat interested when someone actually lays out how the money will be spent.

You've given your money for basically nothing, don't you at least deserve to know how it will be used?

>>255789975
>blue dude with a blaster fighting evil robots
>Platforming

You're right, none of this belongs in a Megaman game.

>You're right, none of this belongs in a Megaman game.
And now you're making excuses that would equally defend X7.
Good Job, you fucked your own argument.

>>255790128
I gave my money because I had faith the project would work out. I have not been disappointed by anything I have seen so far aside from Beck's awkward-ass running animation.

I feel like people are being far far too critical because of
A) The incident involving She who must Not Be Named
B) Other kickstarters having failed miserably
C) What happened with notch and how he polluted the words "alpha" and "beta."

All I'm seeing in these threads are insults to Inafune's character and conjecture that the game COULD be bad, and then suggestions that it's a scam, that backers are idiots and foolish, and it doesn't make any damn sense.

>>255789617
BUT ANON! It's le epic schafer, if you say anything mean about him you are evil EA shill and kickstarter will usher in golden age of gaming if we just keep throwing money at it because they keep promising us they will make great things with it.

>>255790328
Nothing that concerns you, shitposting faggot.

>>255790394
X7 was bad for many, many reasons. You're somehow trying to take a few minute we've seen of an unfinished project and then applying them to a finished product. That doesn't make any goddamn sense.

>>255789534
> Because they're folks with experience in the industry who we decided to put our faith in.
Long since irrelevant experience is all it takes for you to have blind faith in something and throw money at it?

Primarily, its core mechanics being fucking boring and slow.

Businessman.

No. I don't want voice acting. Make the game.

If he wants another 200K at least use it toward more levels or alternate characters or something.

>>255790575
There's that word again, "faith".

Next big Kickstarter that dominates our front pages I'm going to be screaming GOD WILLS IT.

There's nothing wrong with faith. But nobody actually knows anybody involved in this project personally, and EVEN personally doesn't matter, you don't know them professionally. Don't use "faith" to excuse that you didn't do any diligence.

"I'm on the pill, I swear."

So their experience doesn't count anymore because they haven't been in the industry for a few years?

I'm pretty sure Inafune was still in charge of shit up until the day he walked out of Capcom. I know this whole thread is about INAFUNE DID EVERYTHING WRONG, but even Kamiya said he's just a goddamn businessman, and he's taken a leading role in many Megaman games. That experience has to count for something.

>>255791257
X7's horrid changes from 2D to 3D and awful sound effects/voice acting and poor overall controls were its main downside. If anything. Mighty Number Nine looks far more like Megaman Network Transmission than any other Megaman game.

No, they were problems that people could overlook if the core mechanics were fast and fun to play.
They weren't.
MN9 is in the same position, the game looks floaty, boring, and slow, it doesn't matter what little bells and whistles are glued onto the games, games have always been defined by the core mechanics, if the bells are good, cool, bonus, if they aren't, oh well, downside on a good game, but make the game boring slow and uninteresting to play and it doesn't matter what extras are on there or how good they are, the game sucks.

It had a fairly open world, all dungeons (save for the tutorial) were connected in some way, the plot went from "minor background nuisance" to "center stage." Combat was kind of wonky and the camera could be your worst nightmare at times, but it was a fantastic game.

>>255793386
