Step 1: Stop using his other arm to aim all the time
Step 2: Distinguish his look and abilities from Mega Man
Step 3: Make him and Zero the same character
Step 4: Bring Zero back with an edgier look and as a bad guy

Would you buy it, /v/?

It would've been neat to learn some of the rest of the Maverick's moves somehow. The Mega Man Zero games sorta did this with EX moves.

Some of the other ones wouldn't have made sense, but smash robots by through them up to the cieling would've been cool.

I'll just post the rest of these up. I've never seen anyone talk about or mention the SPEC view.

Guarding could've been an interesting mechanic to play with. Zero used it in X2 when you fought him.

Jump press is out, but if you could actually aim in any direction and shoot oil as a sort of "alt" for the flamethrower, you could have some fun with that.

Procedurally generated levels with there own level themes (like 20XX but without the one run then it's over). More parts. Slightly more detailed character without completely changing the designs that the X series used. More secrets. Optional co-op.

I think dashing should've just been a base ability right from the intro stage, but the dash punch could easily just be dashing and firing a charged shot. Maybe it could add a push effect if it's point-blank.

I hate the idea of a neverending game. It just means more of the same assets and enemies being reused. The rest sounds fine, especially the co-op. There was this indie game I was playing some time ago where you were in space going from ship-to-ship scavenging and shooting rogue robots, but I forgot the name of it. Only that I didn't realize it was a roguelike until I sank a couple of hours into it.

How much more detail are we talking?

The idea of divebombing a Maverick with the helmet upgrade sounds like it could be hilariously fun. Without the helmet it would either do less damage or just result in damaging yourself if the enemy is stronger.

>>384841408
But that's what I said, I wanted 20XX type Megaman game without the never-ending one run gameplay. As for detail, not much, as I mentioned I want it to still look like the original game, just to make it look a bit better than the current polished plastic look it has now.

Megaman 8 animation detail, keep it 2D and keep it simple as far as X goes.
Do not make it into an unholy monster like ZX.

Oh, okay. I've never played 20XX so I assumed all roguelikes were the same deal.

I'd wanna see the bulky armor reduced a bit, but avoiding the extemes set by X8 and the handheld games. Maybe just making the arms and legs less elliptical and more cylindrical.

>>384845645

>>384845949
Because even with the name of Megaman "X" it was still a Zero's game.

It only turned into that with MMX5 and that was a bad game anyway.

>>384838330
Go back to the gameplay of the SNES games. Or at the very least completely remove the "diagonal" ground that the PS1 games introduced for the sake of graphics over gameplay.

Now improve on that. Make it bigger, faster, harder.

If I was just trying to please myself, I'd just make an X9 that ties up the loose ends connecting the Classic and X series and focuses on strong level design. As long as X and Zero control fine, there's no stupid gimmicks and the level design is fine tuned to their abilities then it's really hard to go wrong. Less tends to be more with the X series, as shit like 3D and rescuable reploids tends to distract the level design. Story wise I'd love them explore ideas such as reploid and human equality and the government branding any reploid with a sense of pride as a maverick, regardless of their state. However it is a children's video game and ultimately the story is more of a bonus than a reason to buy.

If I wanted to make the X series finically successful, I'd do an HD compilation of X1-X6 like the Crash N-Sane Trilogy. It is pretty low risk and doesn't require a ton of brain power, plus it justifies a $60 price point if you're getting 48 mavericks rather than 8. It's kind of a shame that MvCI seems to be shitting the bed so bad, as it's a great idea to get hype for a new X game, should such a thing happen.

I like X too, but I also like Zero. I actually liked the varied playstyles that were in X8, and kind of hope if they do make another game they add someone that plays like Vile. And someone that plays more like ZXA Model A, since Axl kind of sucks at transforming.

Basically

>>384847768
There's no need to "tie up loose ends". It's fine to keep the fate of the classic series open-ended.

>>384838330
If I wanted to make money, as an overwatch-esque hero shooter (characters are perfect for it).

>>384849764
X8 was seriously unbalanced, though. Axl was entirely superfluous and was generally outperformed by X and Zero. On top of that, his Copy ability was only useful for obtain three hidden items.

>>384850919
That's why I'd want him to play more like Model A. Being able to copy bosses or copy enemies permanently.

>>384838330
This will be unpopular with purists, but I'd use the gameplay of vanquish as a baseline, altering it to be a bit more megaman style and remake the first game story-line wise.

>>384848921
Not really. But you gotta admit Zero was Lightning before Lightning, X was a secondary character to his own series as early as X2, Inafune just waited out the first two games to then push his waifu (male) into every bit of the game and lore

It continues from where 8 left off. What happens to axl?

>>384838330
Make an FPS or 3PS. It's what's currently hot

just rip off jet force gemini

>>384851067
They wouldn't do that. They wouldn't give Axl more unique forms than X.

>>384849547
That would be a fantastic idea honestly, considering the kids who grew up playing X games would be old enough to have completed any necessary art education and would probably have a good grasp on character design.

>>384850238
I suppose, but at the same time it would be nice to have some kind of acknowledgement of what happened even if it"s just "everyone died of old age". I just want to know if the virus Wily gave Zero was really the Maverick virus or some sort of unrelated aggressor

>>384851671
>FPS Mega Man X
There was that one proof of concept video swinging around once. It was basically Doom 2016 with an edgy robots theme instead.

>>384851763
Wily never "gave" Zero a virus. He simply sealed them both at the same time. The capsule's virus seal eroded over time, so the virus leaked out of the capsule.

Strictly speaking, a virus isn't necessary to go Maverick. The majority of Mavericks are just robots whose mechanical brains go haywire. A lot of Mavericks are also just straight up criminals and terrorists; if you're capable of free will and sentient thought, then you don't really need some kinda reason to be a villain. Only a select few robots are really infected by some virus. Sigma, for his own part, prefers to use trickery over straight up infection.

>>384848921
/v/ loves Zero more, but there is a very loud minority that hates him me included because of Inafune's constant jerking of his OC donut steel Zero.

Honestly I think X is massive wasted potential. You had a pacifist with unlimited potential who just wanted peace stuck in an eternal cycle of war. The potential to develop his character is absolutely staggering compared to Zero's edgy "What am I fighting for?".

But they didn't do anything with it. X got sidelined and turned into a pussy who kept crying
>M-muh pacifism..
to the point he literally pussied out for like half of X7/X8. Then we get a timeskip that basically ended his character on
>I got tired of fighting so lol you solve my problems for me
Which I suppose was better than the alternative of Inafune wanting to make X into a psychopathic villain which would've went against his entire character in the first place.

Exactly my point. Just make them the same character. Then he just gets a saber at some point and the dope armor upgrades, and you don't have to play through the game twice in X4 or put up with the bullshit in any of the games after X4.

The problem we have now is you have people who like either one of them, but not both, because both sides feel like the other is holding their favorite back. The ones who like both are the silent majority who just want another game where they can play as their favorite character and watch them do cool shit.

Me? I just want to see X do cool shit and not get overshadowed by Zero. That doesn't mean I want Zero gone, but that means I want more exposure for X.

2.5D of course

I think X's story could have worked better if they put more emphasis on her emotions. He'd lost so many friends over the years, and Zero was one of the few friends he had left. That was the crux of their conflict in X5, but what if it had been expanded? The reason Zero's story is more compelling is because he had more emotional ties to it.

For getting the shit end of the stick once X4 landed, X at least had some pimpin' commercials to his name, if only in Japan.

Tell me this wasn't and doesn't remain the tightest shit you saw back when you used to hop around Mega Man fansites in the late 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JS4iMSC_i8

This too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9Jl-TPsQ8

Really, all of the commercials were pretty cool and even-handed about the presentation focus. The Japanese pop was always pretty choice, I miss those days. Even if the game sucked, you could at least remember the hype. That's how I felt about X8.

No, X was supposed to have been an iron fisted tyrant ruler who's doing everything he can to keep the last humans remaining alive, not a psychopathic villian for the sake of it. The end result would have been that Zero represented freedom while X was representing security, and it would have been a much more morally grey battle than all the others in the series.

It was alright, but kinda low budget and misguided. Too much of the budget went to the OVA I think.

Nerfing the Vile fight kinda undercut the whole "X becoming stronger" subtext, replacing it with something about his relationship with Zero. Hearing the Mavericks talk and tell their side for a bit was cool, but I never really wanted more talking in my X games. Also I'm tired of Gatha.

"DNA" is just a term they made up but it's not exactly accurate. The original term was "DNA Soul". Within each Reploid is a sort of "core", the essence of who they are. Each Reploid effectively has a blueprint inside them that makes up literally everything about them, from their physical schematics to their memories, experiences, skills, everything. In a sense, it's like their DNA, hence why they call it that. When a Reploid's "DNA Soul" is removed from them, what's left behind is just a lifeless husk.

The "DNA Soul" is basically the base principles behind how Cyber Elves work.

Eh, pass. I thought Boogie was a MM character based on the music genre.

>>384860661
You just stripped the X series of everything that made it memorable and turned it into Metroid meets Red Faction.

Are reploids capable of love?
If a Reploid's lover is killed and it decides it wants revenge and goes outside the law to do it is it really, actually malfunctioning or just experiencing human emotions because it is advanced enough to do so?

>>384862173
"DNA Soul" sounds even worse, but I see what they were going for. Calling it a core or a soul, though, makes it sound more mystical than it likely is: a read/write memory drive, chip or disk in their head.

>>384838330
No bullshit, no cinematic shit, no forced story shit just xbusting, airdashing, wall climbing fast paced action that you got with the first 4 games before it all went downhill.

Of course though...for specifics.
-Obvious stuff is take advantage of the tech of the era and make a super SUPER clean 2D game, and hire the best sprite artists you can find because FUCK the shitty 3D models. I'm talking full 60 frame animations, smooth as fuck with no shortcuts taken.

-All the autistic monster data like in the first game on the select screen like this guys doing >>384840109

-multiple branching paths through levels

-with those paths, every maverick weapon in the game can open up alternate paths in each level, kinda like in X3 but with even more things to explore. You could even have multiple secret bosses along those paths.

-Bring back ride armors

-Give your upgrade armors more cool hidden uses (Like in X3 you could hop on top of water, or how the head piece in X1 could bust through ceilings)

-Optional Zero history explaining his creation that you can hunt down in those alternate paths.

-Instead of upgrade tubes, you can hunt down specs to bring back to hunter base to do your upgrades there. After the first 4 games it became...so unbelievable that Dr.Light would have the foresight to send out that many upgrade capsules. Like come the fuck on. This also works with the megaman theme, he steals and incorporates the powers and designs of others all the time.


Also if I were Capcom, I wouldn't shut down megamaker. I'd hire them and give them the rights and tools to incorporate megaman 7, 8, and put in the X games.

>>384862518
It's a term that Iris just made up. After that, the Hunters started using it as a regular thing.

No, but sounds like an MM character you'd find in an obscure spinoff.

>>384862463
To be fair, a lot, and I mean A LOT of what makes MMX memorable is how bad most of the games are.

>>384862506
I assume robots are programmed to never disobey the law, so it's malfunctioning.

>>384862518
It's actually a little more complicated than that. The DNA Soul really does more or less function like a robot's soul. The Cyber Elves, Mother Elf, Cyber-X, they're all basically the robot's "soul" without the body.

>>384862506
It's still breaking the law, but it's in the hands of whoever's got a story to spin.

>>384862506
They are emotionally equal to humans, that's been stated over and over from X to ZX so I don't know why you're too fucking dense to comprehend that.

Zero series had that with the old man who's name I cannot recall, where he loved a human woman and purposely had his body repurposed to an aged old man to match her old woman-ness.

Reploids could have regular love between each other, as Zero & Iris is the standard of robot on robot clang clang bang bang "WHAT ARE WE FUCKING FOR!?!"

Then ZX era brought in Reploids and Humans being so similar due to mandated cybernetics and all to keep people alive due to the world constantly being fucked over and they could have natural babies and all that.

>>384862668
Fast gameplay, heavy rock inspired soundtracks, exploration and RPG elements.

Stuff like "BURN TO THE GROUND BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND" and questionable designs of X5 onward always struck me more as injokes with fans.

Series needs to focus on the fact that it was basically 90s anime Megaman with Terminator story, since I want more stuff showcasing how human X is like comforting a girl after her dog was killed by a wild maverick and trying to find a balance of pacifism and fighting for what's right, as opposed to "WE ARE THE NEW GENERATION OF REPLOIDS AND CAN TURN MAVERICK AT WILL! WE ALSO ALL HAVE SIGMA IN US SINCE THAT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT!"

A new Command Mission would be awesome as well, since it was rather competent for what it was, and arguably one of the few ways they can do a full-priced X series game in this day and age.

>How would you reintroduce the X series in 201X?

An FPS with a focus on fast paced platforming and combat with various mobility options like dashing, air dashing, and wall jumping and sliding.

Weapons are Ratchet and Clank tier. You steal the main core weapons from bosses and have the ability to further customize and enhance those weapons on the fly based on the enemies you defeat. Enemies must be designed to be out of this world. No humanoid type shit (aside from shit like Sniper Joes).

Boss Fights should be intense battles set in a small arena that challenges the player to make use of all of their arsenal and their mobility options. They aggressively chase down the player and make sure that they don't feel safe at any point.

A 2D platformer with 14 stages ain't gonna cut it these days. You fuckers can go "MUH X9" all you want, but that shit would never fly in 201X.

FPS is currently the popular genre, however if this is going to be a Mega Man X game, the the genre should bend to the Mega Man X gameplay style, not the other way around. Too many FPSes focus on slow cover combat across hallways. Even Titan Fall 2's campaign mode, with all its mobility options, was way too fucking slow and was too boring with its AI combat and too many scripted set pieces.

The player should be able to step into an area and analyze the layout and learn the various enemy types and then execute their plan from there. It all comes down to designing interesting enemy designs with recognizable patterns and projectiles so that combat isn't just move from cover to cover and avoid hit scan enemy attacks. Maneuverability and using the right weapon for the right scenario is key.

The key is to reinvent the 3D FPS action genre with Mega Man X as the fucking star. Not put Mega Man X in a FPS setting and call it a day.

You're a few years behind senpai, FPS or 3rd person the game has to be OPEN WORLD. Open world is the current meme game

As opposed to what? Listening to all the other fucking anons say the same fucking thing.

"It should be another 2D game! But good! With all the stuff I loved! Also, it should have sprites! Also, the story should be good!"

Might as well entertain the idea

3rd person action game where you hunt Mavericks. The stronger ones give you new weapons that have different movesets.

Don't you fucking even dare to imply such a thing you piece of shit

>>384865235
Quality wise, maybe, but that's six Zero games (counting ZX) to X's 11.

>>384865412
That's what I meant.
X starts off with what's arguably one of the greatest platformers of all time and kind of just steps down from there until you get to shit like X6 and X7.

>>384865176
>the old MVCI template
>just as many Capcom spots as Marvel spots

>>384865497
X games got worse as the series progressed. Zero had Z4 but everything up to that was solid. Of course, ZX and ZXA were atrocities but at least there were 3 good Z games compared to X's 1.

>>384860989
I can't ever see X becoming a racist tyrant. X's entire shtick is that he wants peace for everyone, reploids and humans alike. In every single game it's been shown time and time again that he feels like dogshit when he has to kill reploids such as in X4 with Repliforce.

Like I said, I'm just glad Inafune didn't have his way and get to assassinate X's character. That would've been his final "fuck you" to his mentor.

>>384865686
What was bad with Z3? I don't really remember disliking anything about it aside from the fact that the Zero Knuckle could've been expanded on.

>>384865686
>Of course, ZX and ZXA were atrocities but at least there were 3 good Z games compared to X's 1.

You take that back. ZX and ZXA (and even Z4) are nowhere near as bad the X series's worst games (X6 and X7). Hell they're not even bad games. Only the first ZX had a god awful map system, but they fixed it for ZXA, and everything else about those games are still good.

>>384865749
Z4 I meant.

>>384865694
He's been alive for hundreds of years at that point.

>>384865892
It almost feels like a different game but with a few Megaman characters

He's been fighting for centuries, and everything is falling apart and innocent people are still dying. I can believe at that point that he would start trying some drastic shit to preserve what remains of society.

I think the final battle would've been a lot more emotional had you actually destroyed the real X that you fought alongside centuries. Would've clicked well with Zero wandering the desert after wondering what the fuck he's doing. I can get why they wouldn't want to paint the old protagonist in such a negative light though.

MMX works because it is melodramatic.

Up the melodrama.

>>384861754
Orthopedic surgeon, actually.

>>384866081
Unless they heavily rewrote Copy X after the change there was no way they could be the same guy. Copy was a naive manchild who acted like he'd never left Neo Arcadia. The Copy Copy from 3 is even worse and fights Zero "For fun".

>>384866680
He starts a game but the fight happens in his stage because Zero came up to him and he likely hates Zero

>>384866416
>He's been fighting for centuries
I don't doubt that he would be jaded, but I don't believe for a second he'd become a racist edgelord. X has never discriminated against reploids nor shown preference for humans. He was always fighting to protect the innocent - it just so happened that the only villains we saw were mavericks.

Like I said, it's character derailment to suddenly change X into something he's not and I'm glad Inafune didn't have his way.
