They're scaled differently and aren't 1:1 with the screen resolution. Makes it look cluttered and patchy while it fucks up the angled lines. Probably look fine at their native res, but I'm now suspect that the sprites are done at the same scale.

I think it's more the way the linework is done. They use black lining for outlines and details, something the X series generally doesn't do. That, and the common amateur sprite artist trap of not properly dithering your shading to make curves look natural.

Honestly the main thing is that X and the enemies around him are working on very different art styles. But overall it IS a very cool project. I love X8 but I won't deny this game is an upgrade just for how it changes the vehicle sections.

So now that I've had time to actually read about it, I've learned that the MMX8 demake will only feature X being playable, with no Zero or Axl. That's kinda disappointing tbh.

The big chunks of color on a lot of the enemies and bosses really stood out to me too. X1-X3 enemies don't really have that - they usually have a lot of fine detailing to break up any large areas of a single color. In cases where the design didn't allow for that, elaborate shading is used to break up those large areas so it doesn't stand out so much as a drab block of color.

Doesn't look particularly Gunvolt themed to me, but those are definitely some inti character and card designs. Also just going by icons I'm guessing more turn based than Battle Network.

Judging by the UI I'm assuming it's One Step From Eden but closer to MMBN mechanics

One step was total chaos but this one looks like a full turn based slay the spire-type to me. Don't see how you would manage moving your character and the hand of cards at the same time

I don't see much Gunvolt-specific in that screenshot, honestly, it just looks like a mashup for various IPs that Inti has made or worked on, maybe some new characters? Gunvolt's kind of notably lacking.

Being new here, just wanting to maybe post a glitch LP of Mega Man II on the Game Boy (you can wreck that game to death if you know how) pulled me right over to this thread. I'm happy to see all the attention even that unappreciated game is getting. Myself, I'm pretty much only versed in Mega Man II (expert, or so I believe) and X (it's fun but dear God I suck at that game). Anyways, I guess just about any game on the Gameboy can catch fire with glitches, being as primitive as it is.

I have a soft spot for GB II, since it was the first game in the series I personally owned (only played NES at friends' places, as my parents never got the console), so I know I'd look at any weird tricks on showcase. It's an oddly forgiving entry for being sandwiched as it is between Dr. Wily's Revenge and III, though the studio change handily explains that.

Thanks, I just need to wait till I'm sure I'm doing everything right in this site (not overlooking any rules). I'd prefer a screenshots-with-text playthrough. Edit: I also know that to get it on the lparchive you have to request it to be archived. I don't know how all that works yet but I'd like for that to be the eventuality; I'd like to see the input from other people on the post here, but lparchive looks so much cleaner and easier to navigate.

I remember playing X5 the first time and liking it. However, going through it together with my son like this really changed my view. It’s like X5 wants you to hate it. Especially with the Shadow devil. But it was worth it if only to hear my son lose his poo poo at X showing up for the boss fight and then donning his Ultimate armor. It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t use his Nova strike. X2 zero battle is still easily my favorite battle in the X series. This Zero battle is a pale imitation. Though we want to go tackle the Awakened Zero after this. He should be more fun, hopefully.

It was extremely dispiriting to look up them up afterwards and learn that the track used on Rockman Neo was about the hardest one they produced and everything else they made was chill trance.

He would probably get a good laugh out of them. Meanwhile through him I’ve learned that even now people are keeping the X and Zero are gay meme alive. But no longer in sprite comic form, apparently he found a bunch of YouTube movies an out that. Simply Simon posted:X5 loving sucks That’s harsh. Well we beat up Sigma with Zero. Now for X. We split the upgrades somewhat so we can just go at it with X now. Both X4 and X5 feel like games that could be so much better. Especially X4.

Capcom's doing a survey, the questions include telling Capcom your favorite Capcom game, favorite character, and picking from a few series you want new games of, including options for Mega Man, Okami, the Vs. Series, and Ace Attorney. https://captown.capcom.com/en/super_elections Keep in mind that they render Mega Man as Megaman in all their searches, the lone exception being Mega Man: The Power Fighters.

Mega Man at least might have a chance of getting more action as an IP, so long as budgets and sales expectations are kept under control, seeing as 11 did pretty drat well by MM IP standards. I could also see a rebooted Onimusha, in the style of current action games doing pretty well. The 2018 remaster not selling well might scare them off from that one, but that was hampered by just being the PS2 OG with dolled up graphics, and some minor QOL enhancements. I think done to modern action game standards and sensibilities it would fare far differently.
