Mega Man 30th Anniversary Livestream

The livestream for the 30th Anniversary of Megaman is tomorrow.
The TGS stream was a shitshow but could this possibly be any different? Can we expect anything of worth or will it be another shit show?

Thoughts?
Expectations?
Hopes and dreams?

Only despair awaiting us...

I know the girl that made these. Should have asked her about it.

If they just end up making another legacy collection, I sure hope that they will actually include the spin-offs this time.
Picture very related.

>Thoughts?
Concept art is concept art is concept art. I shouldn't have to explain why released concept art is not proof of an in development game, and definitely not one 5 years in the making.

Nendoroid figures are SD styled and I think Roll getting a hybrid of her two most common outfits for this isn't an event to note for one.

>Expectations?
There will be merch announcements and maybe a Mega Man X SNES collection announcment. But for new materials I expect this would be nothing.

>Hopes and dreams?
404 not found

My biggest hope is that Mega Man 11 is done with gorgeous Mega Man 8 style sprites and naitivly put into 16:9 ala Sonic Mania

>My biggest hope is that Mega Man 11
Are Inti Creates free to develop it though?

Whats most interesting is that both Sony and Nintendo tweeted about this. So it's not just going to be a switch port of the anthologies, because why would Sony tweet about it?
They sent press packages to every idiot with a youtube channel, I saw a guy with only 2k subs unbox one.
It hopefully will be more than just another 8 bit game. those are cute and all but I want a new megaman game.

>yfw it's Azure Striker Gunvolt vs Megaman

>Thoughts?
Nintendo tweeted about it, so what ever it is it's coming to Switch.

>Expectations?
Was thinking an X anthology, but literally everything in the press packages was original Megaman theme stuff. Nothing X/Legends/BN/etc.
I think its just going to be a switch port of the MM anthologies, and announcement of MM11, but that will be a disappointment.

>Fears?

>everything in the press packages was original Megaman theme stuff
That's how the anniversary goes. MMOG is the one that's on the announcement because it's the one with the noteworthy anniversary. Only time this was different was the 15th when they launched EXE.

I hope for a complete Legacy Collection with spin-off games included. I already lost hope for PSone version extras or actual new games. An X or Zero figmas will be nice too.

>It is scheduled to premiere on Cartoon Network in the United States sometime in 2018.
We still don't even have a date for the cartoon?
Also
>Running time 11 minutes
>11 minutes
How come American animation is so dead?

its a wayforward game based on the upcoming cartoon

They play 2 episodes at a time with 5 minute commercial break inbetween.

Classic design loli or fuck off

I hope at the very least, its a 2.5D Mega Man 11, thats about as good as the Strider sequel that came out a few years ago. And Roll with that new costume is playable. All I ask, I of course want much more out of it.

that's not how anatomy works

>playable roll
Yes!

mega man legends please, we don't need anymore 2d mega man games.

Anyone else miffed this concept art has megaman's buster arm as his right arm?

I mean X was right handed but X also had chest armor even in base form

Gross.

Rockmen R was such a steaming pile of shit.

I'm glad Capcom threw a C&D at Capricorn for that garbage.

Link?

>Thoughts?
>Expectations?
>Hopes and dreams?

At this point, nothing. I've been let down so many times, but not again. It will be nothing or another "collection". When will you understand that capcom give zero fucks about you and never will.

Every Mega Man game ever made on one disk.

Megaman 11 would be amazing. Anything that's not mobileshit or cartoon-related.

>Expectations?
Fucking movile game about the french megaman series
>Hopes and dreams?
Megaman X9
Megaman ZX3
Megaman X collection from X1 to X8

Mega Man is ambidextrous, user. Always has been

What the shit are you talking about?

Megaman canonically has a buster in both arms to explain sprite flipping.

That's Canadian my dude

No, they have the creative freedom to fuck off forever, though.

Their shit is awful, some of the worst filth that has ever soiled this genre of gameplay.

It's not really country exclusive Sup Forumsack

>Their shit is awful, some of the worst filth that has ever soiled this genre of gameplay.

My hopes are too high, expectations not low enough for a safe letdown

They did Megaman 9 and 10. I'd assume the people clamouring for Megaman 11 are primarily thinking of those two games.
That said Mighty Gunvolt Burst was a pretty splendid game.

That Canadian animation is just as bad just makes it extra depressing.

I really hope it's not a fucking Wayforward game. Their games are ugly as shit and the only wayforward game with good action gameplay (they're fine at puzzlers) is fucking Ducktales which is a carbon copy of a Capcom game.

Wasn't that mummy game ok? I never played it though but I heard it was fine.

I expect nothing but if it's a new game I'd very much hope it's based on X somehow. A continuation in some way would be fine though not necessary, or preferably a reboot loosely based on the X series. Like that FPS game that they were gunning for except not as aggressively western and using something like those True Force X designs.

Are you fucking high? They made megaman 9 and 10. If it was wayforward you are talking about I'd understand.

MMZ, MMZX, and Genderfluid Not Megaman are fucking garbage.

I don't know what part they had in 9 and 10, and given their track record on their own, I'll just assume they were code monkeys.

Besides, 10 wasn't all that good. Wasn't terrible, though. Better than some of the old games.

>MMZ, MMZX, and Genderfluid Not Megaman are fucking garbage.

It's alright. The upgrades are a bit bland for a metroidvania and some enemies are just poorly designed.

Too many selfies, dude.

Yeah, WF has been hit or miss, lately. SatPC had some Prairie Dog-level bullshit despite their "commitment" not to do that.

I am anxious and not feeling good.

>Too many selfies, dude.

9 was better than the classic megaman games though, they clearly had something going very right which is more than you could say for most devs working today.

Zero had problems but 2 and 3 were good, I'd like real remakes to those games someday, never played zx and no clue what gender fluid is.

Also, not related to this stream but if megaman x corruption finishes next year that would be great. Possible goty.

...

Sauce.

>Sony got a gift box
>Nintendo nothing
Why?

This robololi looks like it's malfunctioning

Would that fit with all the PS1/2 games?

>Wayforward
>Their games are ugly as shit
Why is this thread filled with retards?

>Thoughts?
Capcom's probably gonna fuck this up
>Expectations?
A tie-in to the megaman cartoon like Sega did with Sonic Boom
>Hopes and dreams?
Megaman Legends 3 reannounced for current gen consoles and PC
Fully 3D Megaman Zero Remake by Hideaki Itsuno
Megaman Zero+ZX Collection
Megaman X9 or a collection with all Megaman X games

Yeah. I was at their Portland Retro Game Expo panel 2 years ago and before they started the Q and A they had to state they would make a new Mega Man game in a heartbeat if Capcom would allow them; they have the staff available.

ML3 ps4 exclusive, Nintendo will get some old ports full price

>Fully 3D Megaman Zero Remake
Why not an Elf Wars game instead?

I cannot see how you'd make a game about the entire world's population Fighting in a war in a side scrolling platformer.

3D game.

I'd believe it. But how would that affect Galgun 2 and Dragon Marked for Death?

A 3D game staring Mega Man X?

That'll sell totally well.

It’s going to be an X anthology for PS4/Xbone and a Switch port of Legacy Collection 1&2.

The Switch port will be $60. X anthology will only have X-X5 and not be on the Switch. And a game based on the new cartoon.

Expecting way too much there, buddy.

>Why not an Elf Wars game instead?
I'll be honest, the thought didn't cross my head, but it's a pretty cool idea too.

>battle network collection never

A new MMX in 16bits.
MH X remastered for PS4 and X2~X6.

I don’t think it would. Mega Man games are super low cost; low effort and super high reward.

I’m sure ippo yamada already has songs available; they probably already have fan art for robot masters and engines they can run it on. Probably get it done from start to finish in 2 months.

>Thoughts?
Might be a X collection, a tie-in game to the shitty cartoon or an actual new game. Anything can happen, really.

>Expectations?
Disappointment, trying to keep myself in check.

>Hopes and dreams?
A new Mega Man(MM11 or MMX9) with HD sprites. I know it is hard to happen, but a man can dream.

>Inti Creates
(You). Fuck off.

Have you even played their games outside of the Mighty Number 9 blunder?

This. Inti Creates are bad and overrated, their MM games were all ugly shit and no one wants them making new MM games ever again. These hacks made shitty stories, shitty characters designs, their gameplay was uninteresting garbage and their level design was uninspired as fuck. Anyone who seriously wants them back needs to go fucking kill themselves.

Mighty number 9 isn’t even a bad game people are just fucking retarded

>hurr new gameplay mechanics in a platformer make it bad, time to play it like Mega Man and complain

>Why not an Elf Wars game instead?
Dude have you ever taken the time to sit down and think about what a clusterfuck the MMZ backstory is?

Weil betrays the trust of the world government, and Zero and X personally. He attempts to enslave every reploid in existence and becomes the greatest war criminal in history. He's defeated only at extreme cost and random circumstance. The end result is the entire planet's population is reduce by orders of magnitude and limited to a single city. Then he is made immortal and given a super fighting chassis and sent into exile.

Omega, the greatest weapon of Mass Destruction in the history of the planet is disabled and is sent into space on what seems to be the world's only spaceship on autopilot. Even though it's known this being can override other. No one is onboard to deposit the

X seems to choose to allow the world to fall to ruin by failing to communicate, to anyone, that he had decided to use his own body to seal the Dark Elf. The ruler of the entire world and what was alleged to be a utopia under his command... yet he couldn't leave contingency orders and apparently those ruling under him decided that installing a body double was the only and best option.

That's fine dolled out across 4 games as a setup but holy hell "Winning" and getting those results would be the most unsatisfying thing I can imagine.

No, it is pretty much garbage. The new game mechanics? All shit, just like your taste for liking this trash.

>other. No one is onboard to deposit the
Huh lost a line:
Even though it's known this being can override other machines, and no one is onboard to deposit the slag into the sun.

Why are burst and gunvolt (that both have very similar mechanics) praised then? They both run the same combo system it’s just that Mighty Number 9 wants you to use it while the others only punish you with score. Stop being a retarded sheep parroting opinions you find on Sup Forums

Inti-Creates has been on a noticable decline since MM9.

I dunno if all their talent left or something.

>Why are burst and gunvolt (that both have very similar mechanics) praised then?
Not that user. But it's primarily due to the much superior level design. More polished movement. And much better performance.
Combined with much better visuals and audio.

>Dude have you ever taken the time to sit down and think about what a clusterfuck the MMZ backstory is?
Not him, but it being a clusterfuck isn't even the worst problem of it. The real problem is that the story is not only all that but retarded and boring as fuck. Amnesic Zero, Omega Zero having Zero's real body thing, Dr. Weil's shitty characterization, Craft for the prize of biggest retard in this franchise, faggot Elpizo actually destroys X's body, the stupid Cyber-elfs. The story is pretty much tryhard cringeworthy garbage, you need to have a special kind of shitty taste to ever enjoy it.

If a new MM game actually happens then I hope it is X9 and I also hope it retcons MMZero to Oblivion. Fuck it and anyone who likes it.

I agree performance could be better but not porting to 10 platforms would have helped that too

Level design is actually great. 100% xel absorb/combo runs feel fantastic and when you play it that way the game really feels fantastic.

Every YouTube complaint I’ve ever seen includes players shooting enemies to death and commonly xel absorbing at 20% for some retarded reason and lives always set to 9 at start.

Are you me?

>If a new MM game actually happens then I hope it is X9

As long as it's not made to look like an SNES game. Retro is a stopgap, not a cure.

>Praire Dog-level bullshit
?

from what I've understand they dont know how to UE

>people defending Mighty No. 9 in this thread
Sup Forums really will go contrarian no matter what, huh?

It doesn't have to look like the SNES games, but it better be a 2D side scroller. And not a shit 2.5 D "2D game made in 3D with a camera hard wired at 90 degrees to the plane game", but an actual 2D game. Of course, that would require putting some money and effort into the project, so of course we'll get something that looks absolutely horrible and has that shitty 2.5D loose feel.

Capcom is so shit that people would defend MN9 for the sake of shitting on Capcom

They just wanna defend inti creates really

>Retro is a stopgap, not a cure
It's a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, no you're wrong they can be a cure because certain retro design elements are a lot better than modern design elements. Making a game retro style can also help avoid the usual trappings of a "modern style" retro game like using ugly 2.5D 3D graphics or using a sloppy generic engine for gameplay. On the other hand, you are right and adhering too far to retro style gets you stuff like MM9 and 10 where they just go backwards on certain things like no slide, restricting the graphics and art style to 8-bit, and just not including QoL features.

It all has to be a balance.

MMZero is take place after MMX6 with Zero ending, MMX7,MMX8 is alternate route. if MMX 9 actually coming it's will be canon to MMX command mission.

Don't forget!

The Zero ending in X6 doesn't happen right after the game, it takes place in an unspecified future in the X series. So X7 and X8 can be considered part of the same timeline as the others.

>Loli artist made the best Megaman designs
Straight sasuga

$100 says it'll be twice as bad as Sonic's 25th anniversary/Totino extravaganza stream last year

S-So no Sigma as the main villain? Good, Vile pls

I want playable Roll too. Capcom, please.

>Expectations
MEGA MAN LEGENDS THREE BAYBEEEEE YEAH

Now this is what I call otimism. I predict a Legends 3 will still happen someday, be it by the hands of fans or Capcom. It is totally not happening tomorrow, though.

I just want them to at least release the prototype.
