Title: New MegaMan Universe trailer, courtesy of 1up.com
Post by: Turian on September 02, 2010, 06:09:26 PM
 owob

Notice that when RM throws the metal blade he doesn't change colors!  Also, playable Ryu?

 1up's "Rockman"  (http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/31233)


Thank's 1up!

UPDATE:
Apparently 1up's footage is not all we get this day! Site's IGN and Gamespot also have two other character trailers to behold!

Well well well. That sure looked fun.

But surely it can't be just another entry in the classic series. I'm sure there will be some sort of twist to it.

There is another trailer on 1up and Gamespot. Different character on both.

So far I don't like the model of Mega Man but the Rockman model is awesome.

This still doesn't show much, but i'm happy we still got a glimpse of some actually gameplay. I hope there's more gameplay options and depth than that classic MM style shown. I mean, it IS called Megaman "Universe".

This looks awesome, except for when he jumps, it looks like he perpetually trying to do a flying figure 4 leg lock. I always thaought his back leg was straight.

BBAMM. Wow.

This is what MM10 should have been. MM9 was nice with the retro thing, but 10 was just more of the same, with Forte.

Post by: Fariator on September 02, 2010, 09:14:29 PM
The graphical style reminds me of that fan-made Mega Man 9 HD - which I criticized for its graphics. Mainly because it looked very unpolished and dull - with little to no extra attention to detail or making the graphics stylish. You don't exactly go and convert graphics from 8bit to "HD". Mega Man Powered Up for example did a pretty good choice with the graphical style. MHX looked fine too, but the background art wasn't given as much attention as the original X. MM1 didn't have much going on the background, so MMPU didn't have to try hard with its kiddy graphics.

So yeah, the graphics are my only nitpick at the moment. Though, I'm still waiting for more info.

No [parasitic bomb] Acid. You got a good point there man. I really think Capcom has just started making Mega Man games for us here at RPM at this point.  >0<

EDIT:

I was looking at IGN.com and they have a Mega Man character trailer with different gameplay than the Rockman Character. The Character is also a different model!

 IGN "Mega Man"  (http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/081/081087/vids_1.html)

 1up "Rockman"  (http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/31233)

So it's pretty much Powered Up for HD consoles?

I got no problem with that, as long as they polish up those graphics. They look a bit ugly and undetailed.

Hmm, this is neat. I can't wait to play it. Mega Man looked like crap, but Rockman looked pretty cool. Hell, even Bad Box Art Mega Man looked better than normal Mega Man. The jumping animations for the characters are really bad though. It's really... distracting.

Something crossed my mind:

If it's really a "Do it Yourself" Mega Man, then the reason his color doesn't change with weapons could be that we may make our own textures/models.

Unlikely, but possible.

There's probably something like it in the game. We're looking at an early Alpha, I think. Look how unpolished everything looks. They'll still spend quite some time with it.

Oh, and price-wise, just get a 360, arcade model. Those can be found really cheap, and you can buy the hard drive separately when you get the moolah.

I'm curious how the megaman/player character will look like. I don't know why ppl are comparing this to LBP. While I don't own the game, I have feeling that LBP has a lot of limits of its own, like the character always being the game's mascot in some form just altered. This game looks like it could have potential for even more characters other than MegaMan. I for one hope the megaman style character maker/generator will have lots of options, and options as much as Graffiti Kingdom has.
Sometimes I wonder. PS2 game before PSP and PS3, and LBP came on the PSP and PS3 systems. Its unfortunate that Graffiti Kingdom failed to get the attention it deserves. With GK's object maker you basically draw in 2D, then you can decide which shapes you want to use to turn it into 3D. This is why I wonder how MegaMan Universe's character generator will be like, if we really get to make our own megaman of our dreams.
I for one have an interest to make characters other than MegaMan to be played in this. Examples being Ninji, Mario, PulseMan, GIR, Sonic. Though I'm actually trying to make them in Graffiti Kingdom as I do not own any LBP games or a PS3 as of this message.

I can only hope that Capcom can give us solid info about MegaMan Universe's game design at this years PAX. ;)

You haven't really played the game, right? It's the level design, level editing and things you can create with the game's physics that make the game so good, not the characters. Characters are meaningless when you're designing a [tornado fang]ing Difference Engine out of wires and tape.

Characters are not always meaningless, you know. One character could be doing one thing, while another character does something else to pass through certain levels. Like their jump heights could be different from each other, or one can fly, while the other one can't. What makes a game interesting is the combination of level design with the character that has the right abilities to pass through the level. Otherwise they would be stuck.

It seems they intend on it being an international thing, with Rockman and Megaman and BBAMM. So they probably decided to use Megaman across all regions.

Also, if BBAMM is in, we can hope for someone else too?

What I meant was, LBP's objective isn't to make people play with several different characters with different abilities, it's to make a classic platformer everyone can play. To say the game has limitations because it only has one character to play as is to miss the whole damn point of it.

Post by: Hypershell on September 03, 2010, 11:44:21 PM
MMU is an HD title.
No offense, but that's a pretty narrow-minded statement.  These trailers are showing gameplay clips in windows about the size of a PSP screen and even at that size you can clearly tell what's going on (hell, I *WISH* MMPU would have distanced the camera that far).

When people say that there isn't a "graphics knob" to turn down between consoles, they're referring to how the entire package (game engine, textures, models, number of objects handled during gameplay, ya-de-ya) is often too complex to be ported between systems of varying strengths and architecture; the pixel resolution you wind up with at the end of the day is a very small and easily adjusted piece of the puzzle (remember that the "HD consoles" are all backwards compatible with SD TVs).

Nothing I've seen in the trailer looks like it's taxing system demands.  The graphics are, as High Max would say, "not amazing", and 2D platforming physics are 2D platforming physics.  Shouldn't be much more troublesome than Sega porting Sonic4.  Frankly, I wish Capcom were taking better advantage of the 360/PS3 system capabilities.  I still wouldn't like being out of the loop, but at least then it'd make sense, and there would be the peace of mind that they're putting their best foot forward.  I feel that their Classic/X developments ever since X8 have been on the lazy side, visually speaking.

If the Wii's system limitations are standing in the way, it's most likely WiiWare file size limits that are the problem, not system processing/resolution capabilities.

To which I curse the mentality of platformers being "not valuable enough" to appear on discs, and applaud Nintendo for "playing it safe" and doing with NSMBWii what likely every other game company in existence would have considered suicidal (you gotta love how IGN covers this stuff).  That aside, I must admit, whoever thought that 512MB was enough space for a downloadable games archive needs to get ZEE UPPERCUT!!

Trailer's most probably in its alpha phase to account for the sheer and pure ugliness of the game.

MMU will maybe show at TGS.

Personally I think its a givin that it should be shown since it MegaMan WAS born in the Land of The Rising Sun.

I'd like to believe that.  I really would...  But Cappy's established a bit of a track record for low-poly models in MegaMan games (X8, MHX, PU).

Sweet new trailer, and I love the fact that they used another Megas track for this one (Lights Out, the instrumental version of You've Sparked a War).

It's up to the Developer what system they put their game on. When Nintendo is the only system they would have to downgrade it for and MM9/10 are already providing ample revenue, there is no reason to put forth effort to expand MMU to a console that insists on being so different that it doesn't try to be comparable to the current gen, in terms of power.

It's called oprotunity cost, and dispite Wii not getting MMU(or not yet) Nintendo still is making massive profits. Maybe their next console will be up to at least this gen's specs and Capcom could go back and port it then.

PS: Capcom, make an Onimusha game for Wii.

PPS: Make Zero unlockable.

Well, there are a few things that were either confirmed or denied during the talk show on unity-events on ustream.

- MM Universe is not playable on show floor.

- There was talk about how a MM creator might work. There was mention something about one of his arms disappearing from one of the trailers, and they would eventually get to that later, possibly at Tokyo Game Show. So, they couldn't confirm/deny character customization at this time.

- They answered question about whether there would be a stage builder or not. Unfortunately I forgot what the answer was. But it sounded like they couldn't either confirm or deny it.

- Doesn't look like there will be any gameplay footage of Ryu. The only thing we get is the teaser.

If you ever think badly of Capcom's effort towards this game, look up Harmony of Despair. At least Capcom is showing some effort, while Konami seems content with a glorified fangame with online.

PS: I love CV.

I pretty much have only ONE worry about this game so far.

My love for the original series of Megaman stems from how damn well suited the original Megaman sprite was to the physics of the original games (8-bit). In my favorite game of the series, Megaman 9, the jumps, platforms and shooting are EXTREMELY well positioned, because the character's sprite is the exact perfect size to traverse these levels. The Megaman series is pretty much the one game series I can make a pure thesis of how the main character's sprite size, hitbox and movement capability's direct relation with the enemies, hazards and levels is in absolutely perfect harmony. Not only that, but they remain the games I will not complain about the lack of shooting up or ducking, specially because the character's size and manuverability felt perfect the way it was (not fond of the sliding myself).

Megaman Powered Up is a very fun game. It's actually one of the Megaman games I truly like, along with the original series, Maverick Hunter X and the original EXE. I remember having quite a bit of fun with it over a holiday, and it's a very smooth and tightly made game. But it doesn't work as well as the original series did. Replacing the original sprite with a big-headed doll threw away the balance I used to have with the game, and made me play it in a bit of an uncomfortable way at times. I loved it as a stand-alone game, because it felt like a way to truly fix the first Megaman game (which I have some issues with, MM2 was the first to really get it right) and it was very fun to play.

But using this style in a new Megaman game, specially made for EVERYONE to enjoy the Megaman series? This is a big title, I think. And I kinda think they're throwing everything away on design. Heck, maybe I'm completely wrong and the big heads are just for the few characters I've seen, maybe I'm making a complete idiot of myself here. But if I'm not, I think this is really gonna stunt the enjoyment of this game.

How do you even relate Universe's character style to that of Powered Up? From everything I've seen Universe is trying to convert the NES style to 3D in a 1:1 ratio.
Title: Re: New MegaMan Universe trailer, courtesy of 1up.com
Post by: Hypershell on September 05, 2010, 03:16:17 AM
I don't think it's 1:1, per se, but yes it's certainly looking a hell of a lot better than PU.

When Nintendo is the only system they would have to downgrade it for...
Your post seems to be misunderstanding me a bit, so I'm going to stop you at this sentence, because it ties to my problem.  And my problem is not that the game isn't being "downgraded" for the Wii.  It's that I can watch the trailer, and not see how they need to downgrade it.  It says that they're making a 360/PS3 game that doesn't really take advantage of the 360/PS3's capabilities.  The game is a simple sidescroller, using a great deal of plain 2D visuals, no especially noticeable effect graphics, and the 3D models that are present are poorly textured.

IMHO Capcom has established a lousy track record in this department with recent years.  I waited a long time to get my hands on the PSP MegaMan titles and was rather underwhelmed with the both of them.  If they are going to continue targeting the high-end technology platforms, they need to actually utilize them, not merely release a compatible format so they can market to the "cool" crowd.

The first shown character was Steve, who is pretty much in that style. The others, while attempting to emulate the original style, still move a bit differently and have different proportions. Which gets me worried, seeing as the game is trying to take an 8-bit style with its levels.

It is still nowhere as bad as PU's giant heads. Hell, Steve the BBAMM, looks more like an acceptable chibi/SD/whatever, moreso than PU.

Capcom has made a epic typo

Rockman's weapon is B. Shot

Q-whats the difference between Rockman and Megaman? A-Rockman is in RM 1-6 style and Megaman is in 7-8 style
Title: Re: New MegaMan Universe trailer, courtesy of 1up.com

No, Rockman is in Classic Style while Mega Man is in "American Kirby is hardcore" style.

Still Still lacks the ratio which made the original games so damn well balanced. And considering they're actually bringing sprite-like levels into the mix, at least MM:PU had whole remakes of levels. This is gonna put 3D models into 2D territory, something which will kinda hurt the model=gameplay ratio thing I was talking about earlier.
