I just read the stories from after the bombs hit japan and the "ant-walking alligator people" makes me wonder why that poo poo was never put into any game. I thought at first that maybe the centaurs were inspired by that real life event poo poo, but the fallout wiki or devs apparently are unaware of it.

Yeah nuclear bombs apparently don't kill everyone outright and people in the immediate vicinity. People can have their skin burned off and limbs be seared off and they can still be alive. Granted they can't see or hear or even talk, but they can crawl around.

Capcom likes to make incredibly bad decisions and I think its them repaying the pact they made with Satan in the early 90s that let them produce such consistently good games.

i regret dismissing mega man legends as a kid after watching chip and ironicus's LP of the first game. that looks like something that i would have enjoyed. however, battle network looked stupid and i'm pretty sure nobody played starforce

to answer your question about mega man as an IP- it's dead because capcom kicked Inafune to the curb. hopefully when they're six feet under nintendo can get the IP

The Zero and ZX games have a lot in common with the X games. The Battle Network and Star Force games are their own thing. They've done 9 and 10, and published MMxSF which were all good. The Battle Network and Star Force games are their own thing, yeah.

I don't see why an IP needs to adhere strictly to a single style of gameplay anyway. (Ignoring the fact that the EXE/Star Force games were really terrible.)

Sony very much allows their well-managed western divisions to run wild with managing their console for the West. Capcom and Konami and a lot of other slowly dying old japanese publishers keep their control a lot more centralized

Sony's also done really lovely in everything except their video game decision so saying they're avoiding the lovely corporate choices that others have made isn't really accurate.

Rayman was prominently featured in the first Rabbids game. Sonic has been all over the board. Mario is in nearly every genre imaginable.

If you go into a game purchase without looking at a trailer or gameplay footage to see what kind of game it is, just because of the franchise name on the box, you're a special kind of idiot.

I thought Japanese execs were supposed to be good and not More Inept Than Americans

RE4 and rising AAA title dev costs broke their brains and now instead of having a healthy ton of mid-tier niche games keeping them alive (PSX-PS2 era) they keep banking on a gorillion dollar flop every other year (age of the DmC's)

That does not make any sense at all. The genre Platinum is master of is so far removed from the genre of Mega Man (Classic/X). I would actually strangle a man to get a Platinum-developed 3D Megaman Zero game though, that's just a given.

Given Plat's relationship with Ninty now, a Platinum-developed MMZ game sounds like something that would most likely happen if Mega Man fell into The Big N's hands, but the advantage is that they'd have Retro and their first-party studios to develop the core (classic/X) games and spinoffs (EXE/Star Force).


E: Holy poo poo Retro IS a first-party studio. I could swear they were second-party.
