It's not dead yet, but I dunno if Capcom lets third-party projects get transferred over...

It's not dead yet, but it might as well be. We all know the most likely scenario that will unfold here.

Theres like, a 90 percent chance that Capcom will just can it, and only about 10 percent, possibly less, chance- that it will get transferred over to that affiliate.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

My thoughts exactly.

Capcom will, perhaps justifiably so, play the "we weren't developing this one so it's not our fault and we will do nothing about it" card.  Same thing they're doing with the whole "will or will not Project X Zone be localized" issue.  But that doesn't make it suck any less.

You see what you did Capcom?

Guess what, everyone? Rockman Online is most likely cancelled!

*thunk*

Three games in a row. Goddamn.

You'd think they might've tried to keep Online alive since the mostly negative reactions to Xover, but I guess it couldn't be helped, and this is probably the reason Xover was created.

Welp, I can't say as I'm surprised by this turn of events.  Work pretty much came to a halt when the company was in the middle of changing hands.  This just kind of makes things more official.

It's not a total loss.

At least the trailers were the best I've seen for a Mega Man game since forever.

But yeah, it stings.

Good. Now they can make my totally PC Mega Man Battle Network online environment that they SHOULD'VE DONE YEARS AGO. I want my goddamn customizable PB.EXE Navi already! I wanna go a virus bustin' with other RPMers.

I'd actually love to play an online Rockman game, but I don't think Rockman Online was the one. It looked too ... slow. I think, if they wanted to make an MMO about Mega Man, they should go a little more lo-fi and spend their money on a serviceable global network and grewd game design. And it should be all about either co-op jumpin-n-shootan' or race/competitive jumpin-n-shootan'.

[tornado fang] SABERS. I HATE EM. GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP.

Online IMO seemed pretty much just co-op Mega Man. Stages didnt seem too differently designed than other 2D franchise games.

Though yeah, a BN MMO is something that im surprised was never done.

I'm betting I'm the only one irked by how much of a pussy X looked like in the second trailer compared with [tornado fang]ing everybody else.

Well, it's a mixture of irk and mirth laced with cynical sarcasm.

I thought it was more hillarious he couldn't beat Airman.

Must run in the family.

RMO vanishes from NeoWiz's front page.

I doubt the project got transferred to another company, so better head to that development blog and start saving everything you can.
