ChaosArgate posted:Capcom has a good history for fan stuff, if memory serves, so I wouldn't be too worried about this getting canned. Hell, they might even appropriate it as an official release like they did with Street Fighter X Mega Man. Anyway, Inti released a bunch of new Gunvolt screens and art, showing two new bosses: http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201406060019/ Bunch of details: -The bosses use special swords to contain their power and transform into their armored forms. The transformation is referred to as Armed Phenomenon. -Daytona (fire boss) used to run a street gang before joining Sumeragi Armed Corps. Now he protects one of Sumeragi's chemical plants. -Elise is a new boss based on envy. She was kidnapped and experimented on by Sumeragi because of her power, which allows her to resurrect the dead. However, the experiments kinda went wrong and she accidentally killed everyone in the facility, which is now abandoned except for her zombies. Sumeragi's brainwashing also caused her to develop an aggressive split personality, who gets her own body whenever Elise transforms. Her attacks include throwing around kunai made from industrially processed venomous snakes (which she can then resurrect into snake zombies that attack Gunvolt independently), zipping around the room with a snake-shaped whip and turning Gunvolt into stone with her gaze. Whenever one of her bodies dies, the other can use her Special Skill to resurrect her, so they both have to be killed at the same time. -The other new boss is Stratos, based on gluttony. His ability allows him to transform his body into a giant fly-shaped energy form that consumes anything in its path. His attacks include trying to eat Gunvolt with his fly form and summoning swarms of insects. His Special Skill involves him creating two giant maws that suck up insects from the area and absorb them into his body. If the maws aren't destroyed in time, he gets huge and kills Gunvolt in one hit.

Tengames posted:wait did am2r just suddenly get a C&D lately? its site lists absoltuely nothing about it and it has a demo from last month. Google brings up nothing. Hmmm, I had heard that it had gotten a C&D from a podcast I listen to, but maybe it was a different thing they were talking about, or they were mistaken? Weird. Good to see the information was incorrect at least!

legoman727 posted:It still can't be any worse than the Streets of Rage remake that got C&D'd by Sega the DAY it released and was only on the internet for a few hours before the devs could fully bug fix the initial release. Slightly off topic, but did you know that the devs have, in fact, gone back and done a bugfix and retuning update since? v5.0a came out late last year, a good two years after the original release/C&D debacle, and to very little fanfare. I only just found out about it myself.

I took the SOR C&D as a good move by Sega. They waited for it to come out before the C&D'd it. They most likely knew very well that it was already out there and in the hands of people who wanted it before telling them to stop.

According to this and this is a web store exclusive, however, the second link says that previous Megaman exclusives came here on retail so here's hoping it happens again.

AHungryRobot posted:The smart thing to do would be to arrange a deal with the creators to release it as an official entry in the X series. The smart thing to do is to not advertise your fan game or associate yourself with it at all. One day, a zip file shows up on megaupload, and a brand new youtube account posts a trailer with the link, never to be updated again. And no one ever takes credit for it. No teaser trailers, concept art, progress reports, nothing, and the game has no credits roll. Chrono Resurrection exists in a finished state, but if it ever gets released, Square-Enix will KNOW it was the dudes, because they put their names all over it.

The case with Chrono Resurrection was that they were using it to advertise the game engine they were making. The best way to be safe with that sort of thing is to just make it perfectly clear that you're doing it as a fan, and you're not seeking to profit off of it in any way.

That has no effect on the legality of it or the company's decisions regarding it. Sure, it improves your odds, but all it takes is a single exec thinking you're damaging the brand or competing with an upcoming product to get it taken down, no matter what assurances you were given. That's what happened to Streets of Rage Remake. There's nothing stopping Capcom from reversing their fan work policy on a dime if some jobs are shifted around.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen this, but crossposting from the Smash Bros thread... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnnv5zySAk  says people will start yelling this anytime they successfully pull off Mega Man's Final Smash. Also, the little intro sequence showing all of the alternate Mega Mans (Mega Men?) being summoned is pretty loving sick.

so capcom shareholders didn't vote to renew the company's takeover defense, meaning the company could now be bought. So who do you think might buy them out and then do nothing with megaman ever?

I think Square-Enix could be a fairly decent new owner for Capcom - I mean, it seemed to work out pretty well for Eidos. Plus, they've been experimenting with opening some of their unused franchises for crowdfunding, which might be exactly what Mega Man needs given the success of MN9. Of course, whether Squeenix actually has any interest in buying Capcom is a big question mark. On one hand, the Eidos buyout was a move to give them a better foothold in the western market and that's not really applicable to Capcom. On the other hand, batween Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy AND Monster Hunter they'd have a pretty scary amount of leverage on the Japanese market.

If anyone's going to buy them it'll be a media conglomerate that wants a foothold into the mobile/F2P games industry.

Square Enix seems like a much better publisher than a developer now, especially when they're responsible for funding games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Sleeping Dogs, and Just Cause 2. They did publish games like Hitman: Absolution and Thief 4, but the former probably didn't have the confidence that Hitman's gameplay would be accessible enough, and the latter was in development hell. They also have the habit of blaming their successful Western games for not propping up their own disasters like FFXIV, but if XV actually turns out well then their Japanese teams can be a bit more self-reliant.

I suspect that the idea of having three personality-deficient female robot "characters" acting in passive support roles is such to suggest that was the basic intent of the characters all along. They're not exactly there for any plot or gameplay purpose, they're just pointless "here are three flavors of female, look at them". The conceit seems much the same.

YourAverageJoe posted:That was the last president. They fired him. That's good. As far as consoles and PCs go, Square Enix is just 'Eidos, featuring Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest'. Even in Japan they're probably responsible for publishing more Call of Duty games than Final Fantasy ones. The only reason to own Mega Man now is to have the rights to re-release the older games. Mighty No. 9 is pretty much the future of the series, especially since all Capcom's done with it recently is release dreadful games like Xover and the iOS remake of X, and let him be used in Smash Bros.
