I was playing through MMX to unlock Battle and Chase on the MMX collection earlier today, and I noticed that on the computer boot screen that's part of the intro, the copyright dates for whatever system Dr. Cain is running are 2105, 2109, and 2114. All we have to do is live 100 more years to see the events of MMX unfold.

That implies that the events of Megaman should be happening right now. Where's my robot apocalypse?! :colbert:

Well, considering in Megaman classic the robots are helping society in between murderous rampages, it checks out.

Inti Creates, the company that Capcom subcontracted to develop the Zero games, the ZX games, and MM9 and MM10, have announced that they will be releasing a new platformer, Azure Striker Gunvolt. The gameplay and style looks very reminiscent of Mega Man. I have a feeling this game might be to Inti Creates what Mighty Number 9 is to Inafune.

Although, since Inafune himself is also involved in the project, that might not be a very apt comparison.

It's apparently being directed by Yoshihisa Tsuda, who was the lead designer on Zero 2 and 3.

There's a bunch of art, screens and information at http://www.4gamer.net/games/249/G024999/20140306072/

I dunno, I think it looks pretty good all-around.

Like, it's pretty anime, but that's only a bad thing if you're not into it. The attack patterns off the bosses seemed neat.

Gunvolt's basic attack is the Dart Leader, a low-powered pistol that can rapid-fire when the attack button is held down. When you hit an enemy with it, you'll lock on to that enemy; you can have up to three locks on the same enemy at the same time.

Gunvolt's main damage source is the Raigekirin (Lightning Scales), which creates a sphere of electricity around him that slowly damages enemies inside it. If you've locked on to any on-screen enemies with the Dart Leader, it also strikes them with highly damaging lightning bolts - the more lock-ons you have on an enemy, the more bolts will strike it. Locking on to multiple enemies before using Raigekirin is apparently the key to getting high scores. Furthermore, Raigekirin allows you to block enemy bullets and missiles as well as hover in midair.

Some of the skills you can acquire during the game are a double jump, an air dash and a full-screen attack called Voltic Chain.

Bosses appear to be based on the seven deadly sins.

Daytona is based on wrath and fights with a combination of explosions and kicks. He has a fast sliding attack on the ground, tosses bombs which can be blocked with Raigekirin and can change his attacks by transforming into a centaur. His Special Skill is turning into a touhou boss and causing bullet hell to happen.

Melac is based on sloth, which is why he rides a flying recliner. His ability is creating wormholes, which he uses to grab beer from the fridge without getting off the couch redirect his chair's rocket punches at Gunvolt. By increasing the size of the exit portal, he can increase the size of his attacks. His Special Skill involves using several wormholes to make a giant laser beam bounce all over the room.

Those who wanted a new X instead of a new Classic Megaman should be happy with the dashes and air dashes. No wall grab (unless you can get it post-transformation) but you can grab a drat ledge so it's all good.

Beck looks agile. I am liking it so far.

I am waiting to see how they'll handle the boss weapons. I hope it's not a boss transform a la ZXA, becuase even though they were cool they were not good due to loss of mobility.

Gotta say, I really want to know what the purpose of the dash is going to be... All of those "goods" need to add up to something, I guess. I guess they want more run and gun, but I'm hoping the levels slow you down enough to think strategically too.

My guess is that it would be how he recharges energy for his abilities, with stuff like 'good' or 'excellent' determining how much juice you get back out of it. Of course, the meters in the upper left clearly don't change at all, but given the game is still in early development, they may be running with the various caps and effects off for now. But it would fit with how Beck runs on the exact same stuff (Xel and all), and might pick up weapons from them.
