Title: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: VixyNyan on January 16, 2009, 07:15:13 PM
Dreams and hopes of seeing new sequels for games has been going on for many years. Ever since a few of the games ended abruptly, it took way too many years for a sequel to show up. We're talking Rockman 9, Rockman X9 and Rockman DASH 3. Just a couple of months back, we finally got Rockman 9 for all the major game systems through download services, and now the passion burns even more for fans to see more series getting revived in this same fashion.

A couple of interviews with the Capcom team behind Rockman 9 has suggested that if there is big fan support, that would be enough for Rockman X9 to be made. Question is, what is a good way to gather up a big mass of fans and show this support?

(http://lol.rockmanpm.com/mmx9com.jpg)
"MegaManX9 dot com" has the answer! 8D (http://www.megamanx9.com/)

Thanks to the website creator Jeff, fans can enter the website, read all the possible articles and interviews that has mentioned Rockman X9 so far, and also join the forum to interact with other X series fans and help spread the word around. That way, in the end, Capcom will see the big support and finally release the game.

Funny enough, RPM is the first affiliate with the site too. yay for fan support! ^^

I'm all for X9, but unless it's for Wii or PC I won't get to, y'know, play it.
But then, X8 did get released for PC...

I would like to see this one come out as an actual game, not just a download feature. That being said, I don' think 16-bit graphics will cut it this time around, but I'm all for a 2-D game, if it's structured like Wario Land: Shake It! as far as apearance goes (if they used artwork similar to the original Mega Man X artwork [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Mmxzero.jpg], that would be a bonus in my book).
Otherwise, I'd be fine with a more conventional X game as well.

It's all about Inafune & fans' "Revival Of Ambition" isn't it? X9 is definitely more likely. But in what form? I'm curious...

Though I can imagine D.A.S.H 3 in Wii.  8D

they have gone deep into the earth. that was burn roosters stage in X8. especially the ministage which can go on for essentially forever.
and they have found Wily fortresses (sort of...) if you count X5's final stages.

Whatever the game could be, I only hope that Inticreates is in charge. The ones who helped birth the X series (and responsible for X1-X3), are probably the ones who could stand to really make a grand game.

Oh, and I hope that such a game would actually do something to tell us what the hell happened to Dynamo. I liked that guy, and to this day, I REALLY wished that HE could have been X and Zero's "new special friend" (if there had to be one), instead of Axl.

I always thought it was just the Capcom development staff that this but I realize that there one of many Capcom developers. I agree with this entirely although I do enjoy X4, it would be nice if those guys get involved also the guy who does the music of X1-X4!  8)

It is kinda odd for Dynamo to disappear like that.

...so, let's have him come back in Command Mission 2 as the replacement for Spider! 8)
And then the real Spider that Redips copied kicks his ass, then joins the party.)

Post by: Rad Lionheart on January 18, 2009, 07:03:42 AM
Dynamo was just a filler character, but not to say he was a bad character though.
In fact, he was probably one of the smarter ones, he would retreat when he knew his defeat was at hand.
Unlike Sigma and others, who would just take the punishment of defeat until the next game.

I bet Dynamo could be brought in for X9 easily and his character could be fleshed out more, make him more than just a filler.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: HyperSonicEXE on January 18, 2009, 07:11:14 AM
Make him Cossack's ultimate creation.

That's what I thought Axl was going to be.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Flame on January 18, 2009, 07:32:30 AM
yeah, Dynamo is a very cool character to have around, particularly because he has no real side. hes just a mercenary, following the orders of the highest payer. (and himself the rest of the time)
I tottally support having him in CM2
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Rad Lionheart on January 18, 2009, 07:43:07 AM
CM2 or X9 or whatever X series related game happens to be in the future.

And Cossack's ultimate creation you say? That is interesting, but Cossack is one for making robots that help with the world, not mercenaries, there would have to be something more to it, like an original purpose for Dynamo, perhaps something went wrong and he lost his memory and adopted a life as a mercenary, oh so many things to think of.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Flame on January 18, 2009, 08:04:18 AM
Oh leave cossack out of it. He HAD a kid, so theres no reason to make "some super robot to continue his legacy" cuz his daughter is gonna grow up and have kids of her own, which are going to grow up, and have kids of THEIR own, and so forth.
Wily and Light however, never got laid, and never had kids, not to mention Wily has GOT to be sterile from that lab of his. therefore, they keep on going at it, like the sexually frustrated super nerds they are, making super robots which are supposed to fight each other once their dead. Wily, in his final years, became so crazy by his inability to get a boner that he made his robot look like a girl. Light grew out of little boys and girls, and made his a teenager.
and there, my friends, is the transition from Classic to X, in my nutshell.

but I digress.
On Dynamo, he should remain pastless. (as in, not some robot created by some "special" scientist.) being just a normal reploid makes him such an interesting character in the sense that hes an average, (well, slightly ABOVE average, but still a standard Reploid)reploid with battle capabilities. he wasnt made by some long dead famous scientist and is as unreadable as moonspeak put through babelfish, or made through mysterious means as the test version for some new breed of reploid. just a main character that is a ordinary reploid, if you get my drift.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Yllisos Zanon on January 18, 2009, 09:14:33 AM
I agree with Flame on this one about Dynamo, he really doesn't need to be a famous doctor creation.  If he does manage to come back in X9 or CM2, just give him enough back story to understand, why, he became a mercanary.  -_-

I want another schizo character in the X series, perhaps a female.  I also want another female main boss character, just so Berkana won't feel alone in that category.

BTW, Flame, I was thinking down the lines of a bottomless pit, also as the last few stages of the game. 

Good point about the Burn Rooster stage though, I forgot about that.  But the earths core was never reached.

Post by: Flok on January 18, 2009, 10:43:06 AM
A Rockman X9 would be nice, as I am curious where the storyline could go next from X8. But a Command Mission 2 would be very nice as well, as I enjoyed walking through that timeline in CM. Plus X looks much better.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Rad Lionheart on January 18, 2009, 10:44:17 AM
I did like Command Mission's armour for X, it was pretty snazzy, but it seemed a bit fancy compared to Zero's armour, so it made Zero's armour look kinda bland.

Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: HyperSonicEXE on January 18, 2009, 04:17:34 PM
Why not, indeed. In fact, the ending to CM1 is surprisingly vague about what happened to Cinnamon, Marino, and Massimo, even though you can use them in the final fights.

Marino would make for an interesting playstyle. With the double daggers, she'd be good for combos and/or just wailing on one enemy at a time, then, the shurikens of different elements for weaknesses and a distanced approach.

Good for either platformer or jRPG. Cinnamon and Massimo, not so much.

And yeah, the Cossack thing was mainly for Axl. Dynamo makes more sense to be a later creation.

yesh, it would indeed be exhilirating...but back to the topic.

If Capcom/Inti does make a X9, they should do it 'a la WarioLandShakeIt', be fast-paced like the first 3 X games, and a little somethig new, too spice up the game. Like...well i can't think of one that DOESN'T COMPLETELY ruin the game...wait what about...nah ZX had exploration, sorta...Got one, mixing weapons, kinda like Kirby 64. And perhaps some extra modes like MM9. Well that's all I can think of for now, yu guys think of something that would make the game more fun and/or intresting

Some time ago I had an idea kinda like that with the mixed weapons.

You'd still get 8 weapons, but they can all have their effects combined almost like Gunstar Heroes or Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, but more immediate and less setup-y.

Example... you shoot a wooden weapon (say, Freakin' Pointy Wooden Lance), then you shoot a fire weapon (say, Hot Stuff) and when the fire weapon hits the wooden weapon, it'll catch on fire and become a lot larger and rotate and cause trouble. It'd work sort of like the X-Buster upgrade in X3, only, you know, not crappy.

It'd be very complicated to program this sort of thing normally, because they'd have to consider that the second weapon must always be faster than the first or else it won't touch. BUT! That's where the incredible Wiimote would come into play. You shoot the wooden weapon and it travels like any weapon. Then you switch to the other weapon (perhaps a second weapon could be ready at any time for easy combinations), point the Wiimote at the wooden weapon and shoot, then it'll chase the wooden lance faster than usual for HAVOC.

How exactly would the wiimote make a difference, did you say?

I'd be happy with up-dash and double buster/special weapon functionality, so I can put Thermal Wave on the left arm and Magnet Brick on the right arm, then charge and fire the two separately.

Post by: Da Dood on January 19, 2009, 06:40:27 PM
It doesn't have to be the Wiimote, it's just that it would allow faster aiming. You'd do something for the second weapon to enter "chase mode", then it'll home in on the released first weapon and Megazord.

Post by: ST Jestah on January 19, 2009, 07:00:03 PM
yes the aiming would be a good idea IF they decide to make X9 a 3D game, however that would be good for Legends 3. But since were thinking about the classic sidescrolling bomber (why do they kill him a bomber? his main weapon isn't bombs) we know and love...some more then others.  [eyebrow] The aiming is not really necesary.

I actually don't want X9.  I really like the X series, but as far as I'm concerned, X8 and Command Mission were end and side story respectively to the X series.

Though, if I did want it and it did come out, I'd want it on the PS3 and with 3D graphics.

Eh, let them continue the little cliffhanger in X8 with whatever the hell Lumine did to Axl, then have that end it there. The rest of the canon can be slapped together with X6's Zero ending and the Elf Wars.

And if this becames a reality do we get, 16-bit or 32-bit graphics?
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Yllisos Zanon on January 20, 2009, 10:31:24 AM
IF I were to make X9, it would be a treacherous path.  Easy Mode, 8-bit, Normal Mode 16-bit, hard Mode, 32-bit. 

X has two arm cannons his right arm has the primary weapon, the Mega Buster, while both arms can have any of the eight new weapons.  Charge up both arms to mix the two weapons, perhaps as one of Dr. Lights Arm Capsules.

- -- -- ---

On topic, I really don't care if it's 3D, 32-bit or what ever.  As long as it is made with a reasonable story line, I'll be happy.

Save the Elf Wars connection for X10 - X12.   [eyebrow]

why would everyone really wanted an 16-bit megaman X9?
just because megaman 9 was 8-bit and success,a 16-bit  megaman X9 would have the same fate?we really dont know that yet.....

and do you guys ever think what would the new gen gamers would think if it became 16-bit?
i just fear that this game would fail because it turned to be 16-bit......(cause some people were angry that megaman 9 turned out to be 8-bit,they were like WTF capcom were thinking?!blablabla.....)

and i already played the 16-bit megaman X but i have to say i dont want a 16-bit megaman.......8-bit megaman is acceptable but 16-bit megaman X?sorry but no.....Capcom really made [parasitic bomb] on the megaman series for several years so please.......make it special,advance,highly super graphical than devil may cry......making it 16-bit would show that they were truly lazy or not serious about megaman.....

Yeah...no.

If there's one thing we've learned after all this time is that "technologicaly advanced"  Megaman games RARELY do well. Legends 1 & 2? We're still waiting for a third part after all this years, so that REALLY says something. X7? We all know what happened. X8? No idea how well it did actually. Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up? I don't think I need to explain the situation here.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Flame on January 21, 2009, 03:01:44 AM
X7 was GREAT. it was the stage layout that could have used some more planning. as they were very bland and too straight forward. X8 was good, but once again, lacked a bit in the stages. they were very straight foreward (some not all, as antonion has shown) and simply had gimmicks. I mean, trilobyte has you go through the same area twice, and dont get me started on manowars stage.
other than that, it was good. and the only reasons things like IHX and MMPU did "badly" is because they didnt do good in japan. the PSP wasnt as wide spread there yet, and all they like are card battlers and "collect em all's" sidescroller egaman games do pretty much better here in the US than there.

Another person like me who loved X7! :D
And I agree with you about X7 and X8.


I don't mind what style they went with X9, but I'm hoping for the PS1 graphics (mainly X5 and X6) cause I want to see a 2D sprite of Axl by Capcom. I like how they setup the different gameplay between the three characters and I hope they keep it in X9.

And some return of old characters will, I don't know, Dynamo?

Maybe the story plot should tell about Axl and his "attack" from Lumine during their last mission. Just like X5 depending on the performance of the player they can either save Axl from Lumine's infection or have him destroyed to save him from becoming a Maverick. Just a thought.

Post by: HokutoNoBen on January 21, 2009, 06:02:07 AM
They worked, but even a number of Rockman fans agree with the notion that the "feel" of the classic games was just not there with X8 and IHX. They touch it up, and I would be (more) interested.

Personally, as I may or may not have said before, I'm open to most graphical styles. But the single most IMPORTANT THING, again, is if some one like Inticreates is on board. While the X series was floundering about in quality in their absence, they kept on delivering with the Zero series, and then showcased their old-school flavor with RM9.

An X game, that basically did more to continue where the likes of X1-X3, as well as Zero 1-4, left off? I'd be ALL OVER THAT...  0v0

Well, mainly because if it were up to him, the X series would've ended at 5.  Considering he doesn't really -like- that the series has continued, I doubt he's really going to put a lot of effort into a ninth game.

The way things are now, Inafune is the Head of Capcom's R&D, and has the role of overall "Producer", when it comes to the Rockman series .

To put it bluntly, he's not really knee-deep in the Rockman series, as he once was. He may hold the final say-so with a lot of things, as well as has the right to exercise his "executive authority" and quality contro,l whenever he see fit, but the majority of the work is now handled by people who he trusts to handle the details, and he just approves of it. RM9 was a rather rare exception where he came back to play a more pivotal role, but I can't imagine him doing that, but so often. Not when he could stand to be busy doing other things, like parading the cause of Lost Planet, and its upcoming motion picture.  -u-'

Well, I just hope that even if it gets the green light, I hope that Inafune would ask whoever is going to design the game to create it of impressive quality while maintaining the "feel" the series had. Hopefully, the story would not be so convoluted that it contradicts what Zero series had already in placed or create an alternate timeline altogether. I do not like the ultra skinny characters X8 had and I want them to go to the artstyle of Mega Man X1-7 or even Command missions designs.

Not all of repliforce was maverick. in fact, almost none of them were. only a few that sided with sigma. 9and then the ones dispatched BY sigma) Colonel and General for Ex DEFINITELY weren't Mavericks.

then you fight X or Zero in X5. and can fight Zero while hes not awakened. just regular Zero who happens to be OD souped up with moves he never had before. >_>;

not all of the Nightmare investigators were maverick. almost none in fact. they were just following Gates orders cuz he revived them.

I definately think X 9 should be the last because it was supposed to end at X 5, and the only way they can do that right is have Inafune in charge of it.
As for whether or not SNES aspects should be used in it, I'm basically not in favor. Music should be almost exactly like X-X 3, but improved quality (for some reason, I didn't like the remixes for Maverick Hunter X). A platformer would be a nice touch, but I think it can go well either way.

Awesome. Simply awesome, same goes for SigmaX8, and I agree with you Slashy, X9 should have a soundtrack similar or equal to those of X1-x3...

On a side note. I think X9 should have a brand new villain, cause I don't know about you guys/gals but I'm really getting tired of Sigma coming back from the dead...for the 100th time. It should be some one/thing new, intresting, sadistic, some one who tortures the very being of X and sometimes Zero in between their missions, some one who is a major arse. Who is this horrible dastardly fiend you ask...



None other then our own Dr.Light :O

You know what? The feedback on Mega Man 9 and Street Fighter IV is really shaping up to make the new gamers think Capcom is largely a nostalgia company.

So, Mega Man X9, which has had a history of being updated on the latest consoles, should probably maintain that instead of go SNES/16-Bit.

I'm going with updated Mega Man X9, but for the love of pete, make the music do what X8 did; apply newer instruments to the same catchy SNES-esque melodies.

But how will they update it any more than it already has been?  I mean, they already took the games into 3D.  Maybe I'm just skeptical because I haven't played enough new games.

Don't know what they could do to make use of the processing power though... a megaman enemy can only be so smart before it becomes a huge pain in the ass.

BETTER graphics. and better designs. X8's character designs for the 3 hunters kinda sucked. theres many ways they cn make the game prettier, and the stages more   challenging. they should do like in the early X games. those had very good stage design.

Post by: Hypershell on February 22, 2009, 06:39:07 PM
I'd do the same.  Much as I'd like an X9, I do not consider the SNES the pinnacle of X-series design.  X4 and Xtreme2 stand every bit as well as the classics, whereas X3 I consider a decidedly below-average game.  Unlike an NES-style Classic game, which handled decidedly differently than any other MegaMan, there is nothing unique about the SNES-style X-series games besides buster SFX and the fact that double-charges use both arms.  The sprite style is flawed, it doesn't allow adequate detail to player-sized character bodies.  The SNES is capable of better, and I'm not keen on returning to a style that can't even display Zero's armor properly.  The level of "charm" afforded by the game style is no greater than a current ZX game, and the same can be said of the general feel and physics.

If X9 does go 2D, which I would by no means object to, there's no reason it can't do so in its own style.

the Snes is very quite capable of Megaman 8 graphics. which means it is more than likely capable of X4-6 graphics as well. if its capable of that, and Megaman and bass was originally on the Snes, then when you say you want  an SNES X9, you must specify which Snes style you want. Snes X-X3, or Snes X4-6? 8D

Of course, all sprite style since SNES have worked on the same limitation. The only difference is the amount of crap that can be on screen, the screen size and the use of prerendered images.

Personally, I would prefer a sprite style that had the same size and proportions of the ZERO-ZX games, with the background quality of ZERO3 and ZERO4 and with designs by Sensei/Seitou.

Aside from the ease of implementing an upgraded ZERO/ZX engine, X and Zero's designs can work in such a style just as much as they can in X4~6. All in all, it'd give the feel of a SNES game, but the look of a PSX game, and it'd allow for the same level of sprite-background consistency as the ZERO games. I honestly don't like how X4-6 is a mixed bag in terms of sprites and how ZX and X4~6 use art and 3d models for backgrounds.

I liked X4's style. it was real real cool. I liked the overall feel of X4. it felt so uniqe just playing through it. whereas X5 and 6 feel... I dunno... DIFFERENT... they both feel the same. like, too complex. too tight. X 4 felt simple... I cant describe it really...(it was before they started introducing useless characters...) it was in the vein of the X1-3 games, but with new graphics. and that feels great.
Title: Re: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!
Post by: Hypershell on February 23, 2009, 06:20:09 AM
I know exactly what you're talking about.  Even though X4 reworked the visuals, the presentation, and even added a melee combat character, the general structure still adhered to the SNES standard (besides Zero lacking a proper weapon cycle, anyway).  That was the last "classic formula" X-series game.  Each entry since then has, to varying degrees, attempted to re-invent the power-up system (sans Xtreme1, but I don't think much of that title anyway), and we all know that arsenal is a big part of MegaMan.

In this way I think X5 botched up the formula worse than any other; despite the stage select option still existing the game is clearly designed with a predetermined boss order in mind (Grizzly to Red).  Most of the power-up distribution was pretty damn ill-conceived, too, being tied to extra boss rewards (getting a high enough status for that in and of itself was ill-conceived, as suicide and pacifism benefit you) that forbade numerous combinations.

X6 recycled the parts while solving the above issue by tying them to stage collection.  Despite the obvious rushed production, X6 had a surprisingly deep layout; it was one of the few games where finding stuff was actually engaging, as opposed to the "use weapon x to destroy block y" shpiel that most other games pull.  Xtreme2 took a very successful approach, staying as close as possible to the classic formula by shipping the items off to a shop; all the benefits without changing the gameplay focus.  X7 would have actually made a nicely replayable game with its New Game Plus chip stacking, if not for the fact that Capcom utterly failed at trying to blend 2D and 3D perspectives (X's whining doesn't help any, either).

X8 owes much of its success to picking the best out of the previous formulas.  X7's New Game Plus, Xtreme2's shop/enemy currency, and X6's stage-hidden chips (New Metals) all make their return in some fashion.  In addition the X5/X6 double armor layout was revisited and merged with the "equip immediately" joy of the classic games, adding a new mix-and-match aspect.  But at the end of the day, it's still a new layout, so it doesn't quite "feel" like a classic X game (although creating a New Game Plus with all chips and no armor parts can help rectify that).

Of course, all sprite style since SNES have worked on the same limitation. The only difference is the amount of crap that can be on screen, the screen size and the use of prerendered images.
And framerate.  You can see a drop between MM8 and MM&B, although the fact that Mets don't walk as smoothly wasn't exactly a huge loss.

Quote

I'd just as soon use PS1 sprites and rewrite the physics, to tell you the truth.  But who am I kidding?  Unless it was an exact deliberate replication of some "classic" game style, sprite reuse on that level would probably get the game eaten alive by reviewers.

X8's mixing and matching X's armor parts was very unusual, and refreshing, given the (lack of) quality of the Shadow and Blade armors.

Although I still say it looks like X is wearing an industrially lighted turtleneck and could say JENKIES at any moment.

Barring Nova Strike spamming, Shadow Armor is every bit a match for Ultimate.  Then there's the fact that, barring X5, Ultimate is available only by passcode.

I don't know, but I've seen people do it! And it's sad!
They just keep using Nova Strike, only to take collision damage or get smacked by some attack in the lagtime.

Mobility (barring that ice platform weapon) and range. Wall and ceiling clinging is only so useful, and the Shadow Armor does great damage, but only if you're already in breathing distance of an enemy. And X6 final Sigma doesn't like sabers.

You're still further away than if you were attacking as Zero.  While Ultimate delivers a welcome relief in its strong charged shot, Shadow dispenses of enemies much faster.  Overdrive and Giga Attack cause bosses a lot of pain.  Hell, you don't even have to move to beat Sigma's first form (same is true with Zero's Z-Buster).

And oh, the mobility...  There is no reason you cannot clear X6 UNARMORED, much less with Shadow Armor.  Hovering is no more valuable than ceiling-hanging.  Get equipped with Hyper Dash, and quit whining.

But in games where the saber is not as effective, Shadow Armor would be in deep trouble.

Overdrive? Hyper Dash? Hold on, now, the armor has to stand alone on it's own; no items.

no items
Tourneyfag.

In what way is in-game item collection somehow less valid than a cheat code?

Any armor is subject to the context in which it is presented, and how their abilities mesh with others that are simultaneously available is every bit as valid as their standalone aspects.  Power-Up Parts fall under that as much as Heart Tanks, Special Weapons, and damage barrier physics do.  By the same logic you could say the ability to use/charge special weapons is negligible, since they are unrelated power-ups.

Incidentally, analyzing both armors STRICTLY on their stand-alone merits, the Shadow Armor gets further through Gate's Lab than Ultimate does.  Ultimate on its own can only clear the first tier of the spike wall, beyond that it needs either Jumper or Ice Burst.  No character/armor can clear Gate's Lab unassisted.  Unarmored, Ultimate, and Falcon are stopped at the spike wall, Shadow is stopped at the acid rain pit, and Blade and Zero are stopped by High Max.

And what exactly is the saber NOT effective against, anyway?  There are enemies which require the saber, but there are no enemies which require the buster.  And let's not forget that an opposing buster cannot penetrate Shadow's saber wave (try it on Nightmare Zero).
