Another high-profile Kickstarter project, this time we'll get a Mega Man/Rockman spiritual successor:

Thoughts?

[oh ok]

appeal to emotion every single second of that video

ending mirroring mega man 2's? oh man

[SirNiko]

I was gonna be kind of hard on this for being a super obvious Megaman rip-off, but I guess the original creator of Megaman is the project lead?

Still, I think that it might be better to make the game one or two more steps removed from the Megaman series. Like, a more obviously different setting or structure the game a little differently such as getting rid of the stage select. The traffic cone hat enemies give an impression like they're trying to figure out how to make the enemies just different enough to pass a C&D than to come up with original stuff.

The graphics look like they'll be lovely, though. It gives me an impression of MegamanX 4, which was a pretty stupendous title all around. Maybe this will be good, if Capcom doesn't just issue a C&D.

Why in the world would this bother you unless you're literally keiji inafune's lawyer?

Only reason it's not a megaman is because someone else owns the rights something he created, so whatever the fuck.

I think if I had re-made the same game upwards of 10 times, I'd be ready to go nuts, but apparently he's still not tired of it ..

"alright so like i know this project is supposed to be a giant middle finger to capcom for not letting inafune work on a megaman game since '95 or so, but i feel like it's too similar to megaman"

[gggfhfdh]

he has every right to make Basically Megaman tbh

[Superb Joe]

the world cant wait for yet another megaman, identical in form and execution to all the other boring megaman games, but now, if you prove yourself worthy, you can pay 99 dollars for it instead of paying 10 dollars on xbox live for the same game made by the same people.

yeah i don't get that either.

[Udderdude]

giant middle finger to capcom for not letting inafune work on a megaman game since '95 or so

He was producer of Megaman 9 and 10 .. and exec. producer on Megaman Powered Up.

[gggfhfdh]

3 games out of however many have come out since X4 doesnt really say much tho

[oh ok]

i'd rather have this man delivers a game of quality than let the capcom of nowadays create

messed stuff like




at least he looks like he has some passion for what he is doing

[Udderdude]

That was a free fan game Capcom decided to sponsor instead of C&Ding into oblivion.  Better move IMO.

[oh ok]

more like a game of subpar quality, a stain on the mega man name IMO

[s0]

inafune leaves capcom because he's frustrated with the arrogance and insularity of the japanese game industry and wants to westernize. so inafune founds his own company, comcept, and makes

1. soul sacrifice, a monster hunter style game that couldnt be more japanese if it tried
2. notmegaman

ok

[Udderdude]

It's almost like he's a robot .. like some kind of .. mega .. man ..

>_>

[s0]

he really needs to get rid of that haircut

Note how he's wearing a USA cap though

[Superb Joe]

i truthfully do not understand the obsession with this endless series of mechanically stale near identical games

I don't think his complaints about Japan being insular and behind the west were about games like Megaman. I don't think it was quite why he left Capcom either.

This kind of Kickstarter project is consistent with wanting to learn from what the western games industry is doing.
