Found all my old MegaMan X drawings from elementary school! Some Maverick bubs:    The trademark icons are priceless  This is some of the MegaMan Y stuff I drew that I was talking about a while back: Hahahaha wtf   I wanted to make a MegaMan movie at one point. Go figure.  And a drawing I did the other day just for kicks:

I sent a letter to Capcom when I was a kid but they replied with a standard "lol nothx, keep up the good work" auto-letter. But to this day I mantain I designed or at least inspired Starman and Tomahawkman.

Old school Snake Man needed a friend. E: It would actually be pretty cool if you re-fought boss robots in pairs, in bigger rooms or something. Janderbuilt fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Oct 29, 2010 |

Uh, wow. He apparently wants to keep making games though, and claims that his reason for this is because it would be "death for a creator" to stay in a high position. He also says, however, that he probably won't be working with Capcom again.

I think the only game I liked since Mega Man 6 (not counting 10) was Mega Man Battle Network. 10 is awesome though holy poo poo.

That's fine if you didn't enjoy the gameplay of the later games, but "anime" isn't really a description that makes that clear, especially since you've praised Mega Man Battle Network which... well, to put it bluntly, is pretty fuckin' anime-inspired.

That's mostly from skipping all the 'cutscenes' and just collecting poo poo and doing battles. I really liked the gameplay. Edit: It also helps that it's a game that uses pixels.

Those games used pixels too. In fact, every game, ever, has used pixels. I don't think you understand the definition of the word "pixel". I think you're talking about the isometric world design, right? Or are you talking about the in-fight layout?

I believe he says that he mostly likes the games that use sprites, but doesn't like the gameplay of the X games or the 3D visuals of the Legends games. Which seems pretty straightforward and reasonable.

How could anyone not like the SNES Megaman X games? All three are essentially perfect action-platformers. MMX3 is one of my favorite games of all time, easily. Too bad it was so drat rare back in the way. Rented it once from Blockbuster, went back a week later to get it again and...gone.

No we will not. I'm not really suprised that my favourite design was in 8'th place, and the creepy lolicon design got third, but I hope.

I prefered X1, It seems that as a megaman series goes on the sub-weapons become more and more useless. X1 had a whole bunch of cool tools to use, from temporary invincibility to air funnels that would tear through large enemies. One of the highlights of the game for me was going through Sting Chameleon's level with the flamethrower and just wrecking everything. The X3 subweapons on the other hand were garbage.

Mother fucker. She-Hawk was the best. The Kins posted:Inafune is leaving Capcom. MOTHER FUCKER. For me, this is like the worst news ever. Mega Man and Dead Rising are two of my all time favorite videogame series EVER. Well, there goes my hope for any more good sequels.  What we can look forward to is a million more X6s instead of Mega Man 9s.

I dunno, Mega Man 10 didn't have the same "oomph" that Mega Man 9 brought back. I just considered it a one time fluke in the right direction, and a whole lot of bad afterwards. Also doesn't help that I hate Dead Rising as a whole.

I wonder if anyone will go with him. It really sounds like he wants to start his own business making games, but for that you need a qualified team. Splinter companies like Platinum Games, Nazca Corp. and Treasure usually come out well, but they always come from a group or studio, rather than a single man leaving a company so I wonder if something like that is happening. EDIT: vvv Appearantly he wasn't very happy with his job, but with Japanese business it's hard to tell.

Edoraz posted:I dunno, Mega Man 10 didn't have the same "oomph" that Mega Man 9 brought back. Mega Man 10 wasn't as good as Mega Man 9. Not a bad game, though. However... I think this may just be our perception. Mega Man 9 came out after Mega Man 8 by more than a decade. Even longer if you don't count 7 and 8 and are just talking about the NES games. Mega Man 10 just... didn't feel as exciting. Overbite posted:He finally gets to make MML3 and then he leaves Capcom? Is he leaving on his own power or is he being forced out? It really is the worst possible time for him to leave. After MML3 was done, I would be pretty okay with it, honestly.

I really can't believe he's leaving.  It seems like such an odd time too, with Legends 3 on the horizon and all. I don't get it, honestly. "Hey man, know that dream project you've wanted to work on for the past 10 years? GREENLIGHT!" And then he just quits a month or so later? I hope he at least worked out all the storyline stuff for the development team. Dude's been acting odd for a while, constantly talking about how much he hates his job and how much the Japanese game industry sucks, so I can't say I'm all THAT surprised. I really figured he'd at least wait until after Legends 3, though.

I think that the gameplay differences between the 8-bit megaman games are negligible, so the best games are the ones with the soundtracks I like the most. 10 made some improvements it needed to make over 9: brought back multiple pathways and rotating weapons with the shoulder buttons. Proto-man is in the game from the start, and the menus are much better. Tons of little things. But at the end of the day: -the weapons suck -the minibosses just don't seem to have the charm that they did in 9 -the music is worse overall (still good, but not as good) The Whole Internet fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Oct 30, 2010 |
