MN9 just got dealt on by a franchise that has made one passable game in over a decade. What a disaster.

They hosed up with their own money is the difference. Warranted or not, MN9 is held to a different standard.

Portions of the Sonic Twitter are kind of incredible. At least the series seems to have some semblance of self awareness and ability to laugh at itself.

I spent my money on Hyper Light Drifter, which is good, and that one RPG by the Skullgirls people which is already in a playable state and has absolutely gorgeous 2d animation(and not constantly horny animation like Skullgirls)

Regardless of if bloodstained and/or MN9 are good, they're both examples of how ridiculous the gaming industry can be.

Like godamn Konami just let Iga make another Castlevania game, the masses have spoken and your non-Iga CV games were loving awful

It's the Japanese gaming industry, saving face and never going back on your decisions are Rule Zero. If they were to roll back on that, the heads of the companies are convinced people will lose confidence and blah blah blah corporate philosophy.

Igavania's genuinely didn't sell well. That they were budget productions that reused assets from the 16-bit games and looked very similar was a large factor in that, but it's the truth nonetheless.

They were more bothered that his 3D games didn't sell, I think.

Beyond that, they simply stopped giving a gently caress about traditional games at one point and deliberately mothballed anyone they couldn't fire because they knew most of them would just suck it up.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

They may have written otaku, or just anime fan in katakana since it would still be understandable and likely have the same implications.

I will prolly never play MN9 but it's still crazy entertaining


If we already have execs blowing up on twitter now then the finger pointing when the game bombs will be top-notch. Someone will probably accuse Inafune of dog rape at this rate

I don't think the trailer was released in Japan. I at least couldn't find it with Japanese subtitles. Is Deep Silver even the publisher in Japan?

OK I am admittedly super new to the Mega Man Zero series but this mission system in the first game seems like a load of horse poo poo. Fail a mission (something you're likely to do because of how challenging the game is) means you permanently can never try again until a NG+? Assuming I fail most missions how hosed will I be for the main/unfailable missions?

Just treat it like a game over and load your save

Spike Chunsoft is the JP publisher. They do a lot of tag-team releases with Deep Silver, as it turns out.

I watched the new Mno9 trailer on mute and taken in that way it looked like an okay showcase of the game.

The "shoot dudes a few time so you can dash into them" mechanic still seems like an iffy choice in terms of the flow of the game compared to other Mega Men tho

Can someone explain and articulate how and why the lighting on the models is so terrible, with that weird halo/white edge shading thing around them? I hate it, but I can't seem to think of a way to adequately describe it or what stupid loving effect to attribute it to.

Some tidbits about the new cartoon in an article about distribution rights. With an actual picture!



quote:

Aimed at kids 6 to 9, as well as their parents who grew up loving the videogames, the animated series will feature exciting new technologies and robots, as well as the introduction of Mega Man’s alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot. When activated, his skin re-forms – in a flurry of computer code and visual pyrotechnics – into a suit of impenetrable nanocore armor, including the iconic Mega Buster arm cannon and helmet. Beloved characters, like Rush, will return - while new characters, like Mega Mini™, will make their debut! The new Mega Man animated series has a target air date of 2017, coinciding with the franchise's 30th anniversary.

The new animated Mega Man series focuses on a normal, upbeat schoolboy robot, who discovers that deep within his programming lies secret protocols that can transform him into the powerful Mega Man. And, as the world’s first robotic super-hero, Mega Man must face the threats of Silicon City, while trying to preserve his secret identity and maintain a regular robot boy life.
