Everyone who was smart enough to not back Might No. 9 and contribute to the desecration of Mega Man's corpse.

>>377862526
An artist that was given too much credit who got exposed after capcom canned him.

>>377862503

Why is every Japanese game director revealed to be a Lucas when they get too much freedom?

For just $0.30 a day you can save this man from complete ruin.

>>377862935
It's the same reason as Lucas with the prequels, without an equal or superior to tell them an idea is shit they choose to go with it and surprisingly it's shit.

I'm not usually a spiteful person, but honestly fuck this guy. He delivered such a fucking garbage, broken wreck of a game and to top it off I still don't have all of my physical backer rewards (which I couldn't even give away for free now if I wanted to). Every time I see his stupid haircut and shit eating grin it makes me want to puke.

>>377863552
Shinji Mikami with too much control gave us The Evil Within.

God Hand was still under the thumb of Capcom.

>>377864029
>Shinji Mikami with too much control
Yeah im sure Zenimax gave them full control

>>377864029
If TEW was Mikami with too much control, he would have just produced it.

Or it would have just been Zwei or Noah, not the final game we got.

Mikami originally wanted a vampire hunting game.

>>377864170
They gambled on the auteur being everything fans built him up to be, and it failed. If they fund another game from him, expect it to be a lot more mass market focused.

>>377862503

>>377865010

It's been a long time but he did call out inafune personally and claimed that his newly formed company was going down the shitter if this is how he planned to treat its fanbase in the long run.

Surprise he was right and inafune's inability to not fuck up something as simple as appointing a community manager got reflected in the company as a whole, which released a shitty product and when called out on it claimed "it's better than nothing".

Heavy01 predicted it was all downhill from there, and it was.

>claimed "it's better than nothing".

That was Ben Judd, who is a fucking idiot.

>During a Twitch livestream of the game for the release of the game, Inafune, through translator Ben Judd stated "You know, I want to word this in a way to explain some of the issues that come with trying to make a game of this size on multiple platforms." adding "I'm kind of loath to say this because it's going to sound like an excuse and I don't want to make any excuses. I own all the problems that came with this game and if you want to hurl insults at me, it's totally my fault. I'm the key creator. I will own that responsibility."[62][63]

>Ben Judd added his own thoughts, saying "In this case, it was do the base game and do all the ports all at the same time. And it ended up being a huge amount of work, more than they actually estimated. Definitely, when they looked at the project, they were wrong about a lot of things. They underestimated how much work, time and money was going to be necessary. All of those things create a huge amount of pressure."[62] Later he said “But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there'll be sequels. Because I'll tell you what, I'm not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing. At least, that's my opinion.”[64]

Well obviously inafune isn't the sole man behind comcept, but all the shitty decisions his company makes are in one way or another reflected back to him by the fact he just doesn't care, and is only there to make a quick buck.

>>377865707

Inafuckface has no excuse for not being experienced at these things in his previous roles as PRODUCER. He's supposed to be more aware of and privy to that kind of thing because a producer generally has to kiss suit ass to get funding for game development.

The difference is Lucas actually "made" Star Wars, Inafune created the final art for Megaman, not the amazing games themselves.

yeah people just ignore it

>>377866167

He was the "designer" while the game was directed and produced by others

>>377866617
I dunno man Design is pretty neat

>>377866167
He created the concept, however the director was Teruhiro Shimokawa. The producers were Kentarou Motomura and Teruyuki Toriyama.

He also created the concept of Bugs vs. Tanks, which is also a good game, but he didn't direct the game or produce it.

>>377865707
It bums me out, since he was the head of localization at Capcom for a little while and did God Hand's localization, as well as more or less reviving Bionic Commando.

However, he was also the dumbass who arranged Kamiya to work with Microsoft.

>>377866850

Ben Judd has a long history of being a dumbass and saying stupid shit. This isn't new.

>>377862636
Even today people spread this lie. Someone else designed megaman.

Why are you always in Inafune and MN9 threads? What is it to you?

>>377862526
The producer of Onimusha, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Soul Sacrifice.

>>377862935
It happens when there's nobody to fight you. Sometimes its the finished product brought on by compromises that people love, not the behind the scenes creativity that gets dropped on the cutting room floor.

Though in Inafune's case its was due to an inflated ego.

>>377867695

Donating is fine. Just make it 20 dollars and say it's a gamble. A risk.

after mighty no.9 failed, i looked into page on Wikipedia.

100s of entries.. most of them producer. He is literally an idea man. He has no idea how to make a video, he just was riding the backs of people who know how to make a game.

I want Red Ash, the actual fucking Mega man legends clone, to be good. but damn it. I know Inafune is a business man with no idea on quality. He just makes to make and milk a franchise.

I did back MN.9 (20 dollars), but after that shit show and all his other crap games i dint buy. I avoid him and anything he does.

Ben Judd is to blame for all of this. He's the Wormtongue for Inafune, Iga, and Kamiya. He whispers in their ears about great deals with Microsoft or creating their own companies, or making kickstarter campaigns.

Dude is more or less retired.

Also, Tango's next game is TEW2, which was all but confirmed when a job listing for localization was put out in Japan for a Psychobreak 2.

>>377867973

This article sort of deals with that.

>Inafune says that idea motivated him to work his way out of being "just an artist," so he dabbled in game design and production before becoming the producer in charge of the Mega Man franchise, and eventually overseeing all game development teams at Capcom.

>Because of his different roles, his specific contributions to games can be hard to pinpoint. Many call him the "creator" of Mega Man, which isn’t true — he worked on the original game as an artist, and says the best way to define his role is that he "nurtured" the Mega Man franchise, taking it over after creator Akira Kitamura and others left the team.

>People also credit him for the Onimusha, Lost Planet and Dead Rising series. But some fans take issue with that, often citing a 2012 tweet from former Capcom coworker Hideki Kamiya saying, "[Inafune] is a businessman. Not a creator." Given Kamiya’s phrasing, some saw the tweet as an insult, an implication that Inafune focuses on the wrong parts of his job.

>>377866167
He was barely involved. Just like most games he was part of. The most he ever contributed was deviantart tier not-astro-boy concepts for Megaman 1, which others refined. He was always a hack who took credit for other people's work.

>>377870448
>he drew Megaman = He created and developed the games itself

I never understood how stupid a person has to be to actually think that. The millions this motherfucker made with that kickstarter.

>>377870636

He didn't even design Mega Man, the director did. He took his pixel art and his sketches, and produced formal promotional art. He also worked as a generic in-game artist for MM1 too. His contributions to the first game are very minor.

The confusion came when Inafune was given "character creator" credits in MM1. But so did the rest of the art team. And since Inafune was the face of the series, fans assumed he created the character. And since the series and character have the same name. "Creator of Mega Man (character)" turned into "Creator of Mega Man (series)".

From there Inafune did very little to dispell this myth. If anything he's rode it for all its worth.

Being the spokesperson and producer for a series has its perks. People think you did everything.

>>377870591
>He was barely involved.
lel he was talking about the game concept and mechanics literally since the day he left capcom even before he had a studio to develop it. He was the one that sold the idea to sony to get the funding. The artwork and game mechanics are all designed and done by him. You guys can hate him all you want but this game was his project just like MGS is Kojima's.

>>377870916
In fairness Capcom probably didnt want to correct people either. The actual creator or masterminds for the first game didnt stick around too long, and since Inafune for the longest time was a well known face there for marketing, why bother?

>The most he ever contributed was deviantart tier not-astro-boy concepts for Megaman 1, which others refined.

The man who contributed those was Akira Kitamura, who made the main cast of characters, story, their designs, and directed 1-2.

And for the record, he drew as much if not more from Toku than he did anime. But Toku isn't popular in the West, so people didn't pick up on it.
