God fucking damnit, that was no way to treat your fans. Why not release the demo at the very least? It was complete, someone had played it. Capcom went full spiteful at Inafune like Konami later did at Kojima.

>>362667749
Y'know I think I'd have gotten over this by now if they actually bothered to hold to the "This is a look behind the curtain of videogame development." angle when they released the statement they had cancelled the game. I'd definitely have been pissed off at the time, but with an actual, tangible reason I think I'd be left with something to accept. Even if it was "Sorry tsunami damaged our servers" or "Project went over budget" or "Our executives changed their minds and we couldn't meet their new criteria by the deadline".

Instead the only thing anyone who can speak to the game on the US side says it was "Because Reasons" and even the form letter announcing it included a preemptive Q&A that reads "Q: Why was the game cancelled? A: See above".

>>362667821
Oh hey, I remember you, I played the demo with Fireman/Torchman a long time ago. How's progress going since then?

I just really hope it isn't something stupid like the other developers are in full japanese m-muh honoring Inafune's leave by not making another true Mega Man game without him

>>362670164
But he never did a single bit of programming.

>>362670275
Not the person you're talking to but he did art. Akira Kitamura did the original Mega Man sprite and then Inafune drew art based on it.

He later was game designer for X and director for X2/X3. Also director of Ducktales (you know the one, with the moon song).

I'm sorry /v/. I did this.

>>362665480
I think it's because they honestly just don't know how to do one that will actually satisfy people and themselves. Clearly a lot of fans want to see Mega Man come back on home consoles with modern graphics, but how would you justify an eight stage (plus end stages) game at full retail price? Obviously a way to circumvent that is to just leave it as cheaply made sprited games, but then you'd still have to sell them at appropriately cheaper prices too which might not even solve that issue. They also just did it with the last TWO Mega Man games in a row, so if they tried it again, they'd obviously get called out on being cheap cop outs.

On the flipside, they could try something completely different, but doing so after so much time with no primary Mega Man game would lead us to a Federation Force situation where fans get pissed off over "misuse of the franchise" or something.

Legends 3 seemed to be a thing that they were doing with the fan input thing, but communication between developers and fans was going about as smoothly as Mighty No 9's before it got canned.

So what CAN they do with Mega Man that will actually satisfy fans, but still actually be profitable and worth the time, effort, and investment in the eyes of Capcom?

>>362670485
>>362670275
>>362670164
Are you guys retarded? When he left he even said he wanted to see Mega Man Legends 3 completed and had to pull that demo shit just to get it greenlit at Capcom.

Not an Inafune fan or somethign dumb like that but it's not his fault there's no Mega Man games happening.

Capcom needs to stop no wanting money

What are some new games that manage to recapture the feel of the classic, X, or Zero series? I've got an itch to scratch and I can only replay the originals so many times

>>362671681
With Capcom, it's more likely that they'll officially bless and advertise the fangame like they did with SFxMM. They're not Nintendo.

>>362672056
Azure Striker Gunvolt (especially 2) for the Zero feel. Made by the same developers.

>>362672214
Same developers as Mighty No. 9, Mega Man 9 and 10 and the Zero/ZX series.

>>362672046
>make mega man game
>doesn't sell well and makes small profit at bast

>receive far more to put into the bank than what was used to make it

>>362672332
MonHun is the EA Sports of Japan. They can remake the exact same game but add a different colored dinosaur and it'll still make mad bank.

>>362672316
no, mighty no 9 is comcept. inticreates didn't develop the game.

>>362672525
Comcept isn't a game development company, they just make... game concepts. MN9 was indeed developed by Inti Creates, as code monkeys.

>>362665480
Be careful what you wish for

>>362672518
Exactly, which is why they'll never bother with Mega Man. Especially since reusing assets from the last game just means more of that money goes into the bank. I would have said Street Fighter is the same way but V happened.

>>362672525
>>362672657
Inti Creates made 100% of the code and assets. Only stuff they didn't do is character design and original concept design. They're not infallible.

>>362665480
MvC:I's story will heavily revolve around X and actually cause the Megaman continuity to reboot.

>>362672046
Megaman was canned before Inafune left

>>362672669
Yeah but they're jewing hard with V. Season passes and you have to pay to unlock fucking alt colors.

It's smart though, they add the introduction of "fight money" meaning you can technically get your colors and characters and costumes for free if you grind, and play the game often to get all the biweekly challenges done, but if you're impatient then just pay. Most gamers are impatient, so they'll pay.

That was all part of Inafune's master plan to replace Megaman. He created a market hungry for MM games and tried to supply it with his cheap rip

It was good, but it was just Zero again, this time with backtracking on a where-the-fuck-do-I-go town+overworld, and unlockable X if you beat the game.

>>362671681
capcom is not Nazitendo

>>362676943
HAHAHAHA

>>362668583
Capcom never learned that more =/= better with Mega Man. It's one thing to refine the formula and introduce new mechanics with each game, but if you end up releasing like 6-10 games in close proximity to each other, you're either going to burn the fans out quick, or get them too used to the same thing, meaning genuinely good spinoffs like Legend are less likely to catch on because it's too different.

>>362668641
So was splitting the games in two and having multiple endings for a fucking action game with no overarching story planned.

While he may not be the true creator of Megaman, at least he created the Megaman x and Megaman zero series.

>>362680967
>created the Megaman x
Kind of. He was one of the planners behind it, so he probably drew most of the designs, but he wasn't the only one. He did come up with the wall-kick.

>and Megaman zero series
Actually you have Takuya Aizu and Inti Creates to thank for that. They're the ones who pitched it to Inafune.

Technically I said it was dumb, but the point is classic MM didn't seem to start taking itself too seriously with the story until the SNES and PSX games. Mega Man 10 introduced Roboenza, which was probably meant to be a precursor to the Maverick Virus, but it still sounds like the fuckest MacGuffin I've ever heard of.

Mega Man 8 at least had something cool going for it with Duo and his counterpart, continuing the space mechs plotline from the Game Boy games, but then comes "Evil Energy" and DOCTAH WAHWEE and you know how that ends.

Speaking of ends, MM8 almost pulls MM7's ending before having MM possessed by whatever was powering Wily's mech.

Makes me sad that the Legends series was underutilized and then dumped. Its world and characters give me a sort of unique whimsical feel the other series lack. It should've been allowed to shine on later game systems, to really make the most of its setting.

It's also the kind of setting that would work well as an anime, more than the other series since it's less repetitive in structure and more based on character interactions.

Just like Mega Man/X is inspired by Astro Boy and other early Japanese mech anime, Legends seems to draw heavily from Hayao Miyazaki films like Castle in the Sky, which is evident from the characters, the overall theme of digging, and the design of the Reaverbots.

Double charge shot deals insane damage to anything, bosses included. It's still probably faster to wreck the bosses with their elemental weakness charge attacks while hitting their weak points but using model X requires far less finesse.

You also get to use model X throughout the game after playing through it as both characters. Pretty simple since Mega Man games in general aren't very long.

You forgot the third timeline.

Dr. Weil's remains, aka Model W, are somehow transported across time and space to the pre-X series.
Their presence causes humans to begin developing supernatural powers, sidelining robot development in favor of research on them. X is never found and robot development doesn't go beyond simple mechaniloids.

>>362692647
Roboenza was just catnip to trick fans into thinking 10 would bring closure to the series with some kind of lead-in to the X series.

>>362697796
We already knew there was never going to be 100% closure on classic. They've stated their intentions pretty openly in that regard.

>>362665480
Because Megaman games aren't profitable on their own.
Their formula is stale. Everybody likes Megaman, but no one likes him enough to buy his games because if you play ONE Megaman game you played ALL OF THEM.

Megaman games are ALL SUBSTANCE, but NO STYLE.
You cannot expect a customer to come back for more of your products if they don't have any flavor.
Megaman games should to add some flavor if they want to actually get sales.
Currently the gaming industry uses the following to spice things up in a game:
-Dating Sim elements [Persona games]
-Online Multiplayer [Fighting Games, FPSs and MOBAs]
-Building simulation [Minecraft]
-Sex Appeal [Nier:Automata]
-Customization, sometimes as DLCs [endless number of games]
-Mobile [Pokemon Go]
-Meme inducement [Undertale and other indie games]
-Grimdark shit [FROM games]
-Story or Cinematic Experience [Kojima Games, Naughty Dog games]

At least one of them is needed if Capcom wants to make a profitable Megaman game.

I don't have a problem with Capcom shelving MM. It's gotten a bazillion games more than every other IP of theirs, spanning multiple genres. Giving some of their other cool IPs even a fraction of that attention would've been great.

Problem is that they didn't really do the latter at all. So I guess they might as well just bring MM back, there was no point in shelving the franchise to begin with.

Those go under multiplayer.

Demon's Souls introducing that unique online system is what caused them to become relatively well known.
Before that all you ever rarely heard about was Armored Core due to mecha appeal.

I'd love to see a Mega Man Souls crossover.
You could even keep the apocalyptic grimdark if X or Zero were used as the basis.
Legends would go extremely well if you kept the emphasis on ruins. Messages, diggers as white phantoms, and pirates as red phantoms practically writes itself.

Classic and X games are the ones people remember, though.
The main Megaman game series are Classic and X.
Legends, BN and Starforce belong to different genres and don't have much to do with the gameplay from real Megaman games.
Meanwhile, the Zero/ZX games are spinoffs for handhelds. It was a mistake. The Zero/ZX games should've been made for consoles with bigger budgets and more ambition. Another case of wasted potential in the Megaman franchise due to Inafune and Capcom's lack of vision. It was basically a race to the bottom after X5 was made.

>"Those X games were not created by Inafune. He was working on the Battle Network games at the time. Maybe it's not appropriate for me to talk about this, since it's more of something Inafune should discuss himself, but my perspective as an outsider observing the situation is that it was kind of like he wanted to continue working on those side scrolling Mega Man games, but they were kind of taken away from him. So that’s why he started the Zero series."

Bonus:
>"Also, there's a manga series called Kikaider which really influenced me, and Inafune happened to like the concept, too. The Kikaider manga had an anime spin-off called Hakaider. There, the bad guy, Hakaider, becomes the main character and defeats the main character of Kikaider. That struck me as really sensational and stuck in my mind, and that's what inspired me to take the direction we did with Mega Man Zero.
>"Originally, Inafune had simply requested a game built around both Zero and X. But I wanted to do something with more impact, so that’s why I came up with this idea."

What if they ended up doing a sort of Pokemon/Battle Network gimmick of releasing two similar, but divergent games bearing the same name but going down different timelines? One is where X is the primary PC and the other is where Zero is the hero, or more or less what we have already, except with X being the actual villain?

It's probably not a very good idea, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways.

Last I heard there's now a demo available.

They introduced the Mega Man/Proto Man fusion as a playable character. He ditched the shield for a jetpack and still copies boss powers. 10x more fun to play as than Gunvolt himself.

How he plays:
>Primary weapon is a laser gun. Stronger than Gunvolt's darts, but doesn't tag.
>The jetpack dash is fast as fuck and can even outpace the screen's movement if you keep using it in one direction. Flight direction is horizontal or diagonal. You can slightly move up or down when horizontal. Thrusters will slowly lower you for a few seconds after the dash ends.
>Dashing consumes a "Bullit". These are replenished by hitting walls or enemies, or by simply reloading. Midair reloading causes you to quickly crash down and produce a small shockwave, but there is no invincibility during this process.
>Tagging is done by dashing into enemies and pistol whipping them. Non-bosses will get stunned. Only one tag at once, and it lasts for a few seconds. Causes the laser shots and boss weapons to home in on enemies. Note that how you bounce off the enemy can change depending on the dash trajectory.
>Scoring is based on killing as many enemies as you can without touching the ground. Corners are your friend. (Wall kicking counts as touching the ground)

Some have described him like a reverse Beck that's actually fun.

>>362708267
This idea still seems stupid to me.

So like, you have Mega Man. And then you have a bunch of spin-offs. They're Mega Man, but at the same time they're not the original Mega Man. Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Battle Network, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Star Force.

And then these guys come in and go "Hey guys, instead of making another alternate universe like the rest, let's reboot one of the existing universes instead!" What is the point of this?

Building on what's already there. Clearly they wanted to work with the characters and the world of Mega Man X, but edgier and closer to what contemporary gamers recognize: FPS perspective with melee combat. In this case, it would've been similar to Metroid Prime and/or DOOM. Once you got around to playing as Zero, it probably would've been like anything from DMC to Revengeance.

They probably could've made yet another subfranchises, but they probably thought that the Mega Man franchise was too crowded as it was. Personally, I'd rather see a new team just try to reboot the X series again, but with a dynamite new look to it. Not a 3D FPS like Maverick Hunter, though; just another 2D series that builds on and fixes everything that came before it:

>X1-X8
>Xtreme 1&2
>Command Mission
>Rockman MegaMission
>the Iwamoto & Megamix/Maniax manga
>MHX

Take all that shit, including the stuff from the cutting room floor, and make an epic saga where X and co go to space and shit.

>>362710753

Maverick Hunter X doesn't really count.

Do you guys think Megaman will ever make a comeback? I hope for it, but something tells me it is too hard to come true.
Does Capcom even has someone left who could take charge of a new Megaman game and put the franchise in the right direction?

But shit's already broken. Even on the SNES. There's only ever like one really good title per system:

>SNES: X1

>PS2: X8

I'm not satisfied, I want more X. The X series is more about Zero, and X is a boring self-righteous wuss. He's supposed to be a badass.

Maybe not, but it's the closest we've got.

It'd be cool to have a sort of prequel trilogy to the X games, actually. One where you play as Vile, another where you play as Sigma, and one where you play as old Zero.

Playing as the hunters-turned-Mavericks would be pretty awesome too, like Storm Eagle or Chill Penguin, sort of like a more refined application of what ZXA tried to do. Instead of having them playable for an entire game, give them a couple of stages tailored to their moves.

The pacifism angle pretty much started with X7 when he stopped fighting altogether, and started being a bitch about it once you unlocked him.

Other than that, the conclusion to X1 had him exhausted and wondering if there was a way to avoid losing the people he cared about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPADrtiqUjs

The difference between then and later was that, at that point, he knew it wouldn't end there, and he was prepared to keep going. He just wasn't sure how long he'd go. I think a more fitting conclusion for the character would've been for him to realize that what he does is a necessary, but neverending evil, and that he would go on fighting for as long as he's able, because he could. As long as he's able to keep going, there will be interesting stories to tell there, including the ending.

"But those sacrified themselves for the victory will never return"

Copen is infinitely more fun to play than GV in core mechanics, but GV's level design is still way improved over the first game even if his core mechanics aren't really altered much.

>X3: Continues doing his job, friend's still alive.
>X4: Major tragedy occurs, Repliforce is wiped out because they're retards, guy he trusted turned out to be a spy. Starts to have doubts about himself and everything else. But friend is still alive.
>X5: FUCKING. SPACE. STATION. CRASHES IN THE PLANET. DEATH COUNT IN THE MILLIONS. By this point, X is so desperate to save even one person he cares about that he even fights Zero in order to try and keep him alive. He dies.
>X6: Friend is back, so that's good. Reconstruction's going smoothly. Overall, it's not as bad as previous incidents because Gate's a faggot and Sigma's a hobo.
>X7: X stops fighting because. I dunno. There's nothing that happened in X6 that would warrant this. It'd make more sense if it happened after X4 or X5, where he'd be overwhelmed by PTSD or whatever. The real reason is because Capcom wanted people to use Axl and hold X back as an ungodly broken killing machine. A fully charged X-Buster shot can cover half the screen, Jesus Christ.
>X8: X is fighting again, mostly back to normal, voiced by Cloud Strife/Domon Kashu. Still broken murder machine, but not as broken as in X7. Has some doubts but still fights for the greater good.
>Pre-Zero: Fought alone for so long that he just stops giving a shit. Sacrifices his body to become the Dark Elf and fucks off because he's literally been fighting for hundreds of years now and he's just fucking sick to shit of it. Everyone keeps fucking up and he's the one who has to clean up their messes, so I don't blame him. Finally starts to get some motivation back when he sees his friend again.

But with X4, it was just the credits, wasn't it?

On an aside, any anons here remember hyping up the return of Vile or Iris in X5/X6? Might be just this one website I visited in the early 2000s that had some X4 mockups of Vile and Iris while they speculated what the sequels would bring.

It was easy for people to get tired of Mega Man when the guy who's asked to keep the franchise profitable just keeps making the same game year after year. Might've worked for the first three or four times, but after that, I dunno. Maybe they should've thought outside of the box sooner instead of waited for new consoles to come out.

No, Zero was technically never remodeled. The Zero in the Z series and the X series Zero are technically the same-looking body.
It's an artstyle change to fit the GBA's limitations.

We know this because we eventually get to see his 'original' body and how it looked like. When we do, it's just a palette-swap.

>>362717095
We got playable Vile so there's something at least.

I don't mind his whole "Fuck you X you're just a B-Class hunter you ain't shit" personalty in MHX.

Gunvolt was built with their own money in their spare time, with little fanfare, and with minimal Inafune involvement.
>Result: Finished ahead of schedule after 2 years, resulting in a decent game that has already gotten a better sequel and a bunch of side material, including an OVA this month.

MN9 had Inafune at the helm and a massive Kickstarter. Over $4,000,000 in donations were given by Mega Man fans desperate for a savior after the MML3 cancellation, which Inafune most likely knew would happen if he left Capcom considering how spiteful Japanese companies can be.
>Result: A poor game, 3 years of development with multiple delays, most of the early concept stuff scrapped, a bunch of stretch goals like 3DS and Vita releases nowhere to be seen, and as icing on the cake that Dyna fiasco.

>>362717221
In X1 he was just an overconfident grunt, a classic lapdog without a story that you're just supposed to get revenge on. He served his purpose well then, and served as the first and only villain to ever use a Ride Armor.

Plus his design and style of attack is cool, not to mention the midboss theme that just became associated with him. What I didn't care for about him in MHX is that he just hates X with a passion for what seems like no reason. What is it, an inferiority complex? Because he sees X as a B Class Hunter but has no friends? It's not well explained, and for a game that comes with well-animated cutscenes and a whole OVA episode, you'd think they could spend a little more time to flesh him out, but nope.

Also I liked it better when he was literally invincible, like in the first game, as long as he was in the Ride Armor. He also looked a lot less goofy on the SNES than he did on the PSP.

>>362717607

>>362718197
It is, who said it wasn't?

The Command Mission line isn't the canon line. The Command Mission line stretches from X5, and then goes to X6, X7, X8. Command Mission being the bookend for that continuity which occurs at the same time as the Zero series in the other timeline. (22XX)

I know. I liked it better that way.

I don't like Vile because he's invincible, I like Vile because he's got a cool design, is fun to fight against once he's out of the Ride Armor, and has the potential to be a decent rival character.

In other words, he's just another recognizable face who was there from the start.

>>362718776
No, no. What he's trying to say but is getting so angry that it's not really coming through is that Zero is part of the canon timeline.

The order goes
Original -> X -> Zero -> ZX -> [insert over 2000 years worth of time for any games that occur here] -> Legends

So yes, Zero is a canon aspect of the series. X splits at X5 because the 'bad ending' to X5 is canon, where Zero enters a capsule for an indeterminate amount of time. X6, X7, X8 and Command Mission are part of the split-timeline.

>>362718776
