Welcome back, Mega Man. It's been too long.
Also I missed the stream, what info was there about that Mega Man X collection?

"Some characters from previous installments will also be making a comeback."

Roll was kind of a given, so I have to wonder who else might be showing up. 'twould be great if XOver!Kalinka could appear in a mainline title.

It's gonna be Megaman X1-X8 on all Modern Platforms. 

On top of that Megaman Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are finally coming to Switch with Amiibo support.

I like this guy.

the art director also, I really like the way he thought everything through in regards to the presentation of the game, being that it's 2.5D and it is real easy to mess up 2.5D

In general, I am very hype. My hype cannot be expressed in words.

Also, here's a higher res version of that game Informer cover

The game graphics look alright, but it's not 8-bit. Also, this will probably be the first NEW Mega Man game without Comcept's Keiji Inafune.

The new model changes when acquiring new weapons is kinda neat, but It's not the same tradition of color change only. Even the classic Mega Man X had color change only (besides armor upgrades) of its time.

I don't know how I feel about this.

To me it's a mix of 30FPS footage and Mega's walking animation. The game's got some cel-shading going on for sure, here's hoping the music lives up to the pedigree too.

Here's hoping it doesn't play as bad as Megaman X 7.

So far, I'm digging the new look. And I'm also glad they're bringing back Megaman's charge shot and slide.

We can't stay retro forever. the series needs to go forward. Even 10 got some pushback from people who felt Capcom was trying to milk the retro nostalgia. And after 7 years, Another 8 bit title would have been a cop out.

Also, this will probably be the first NEW Mega Man game without Comcept's Keiji Inafune.
Honestly that's not actually something new. We've had Megaman games without him before, and he was producer for many of them. Director is where the real magic happens.

I don't know how I feel about this.

They are going for the original original concept stuff back in the day. Kitamura wanted, iirc, the exclamation mark on the helmet to change to reflect what weapon Mega Man was using. They trashed the idea because obviously the NES wouldn't have been able to really portray that effectively. And so they instead settled on color changing.

Seems like an idea that Capcom may have been toying with for years actually. In hindsight, you've got Inafune making MN9, which is a Mega Man where his entire appearance changes, but I still remember the concept art from Command Mission, that featured a very X looking Classic Mega Man, with a shoulder mounted cannon, and a camo paint job, implying a similar idea of color+design feature.

As for what they've gone with now, the only things that change are his helmet and his buster. Which is a nice compromise. That way it isn't anything too drastic, but it is something fresh and original as a gimmick

Anyway I'm glad they aren't rehashing Megaman 2 nostalgia again.

As I said before on the Discord, I have less than zero interest in more classic shilling. If anything, ironically, I care more about the X collection.

But at least it's nice that Capcom's actually acknowledging its flagship IP for once, y'know, ever.

My biggest beef back then was the fact that they went for a low-hanging fruit and stripped down the gameplay to the basics, not that 9 and 10 were bad. The return of the Charge and Slide combined with the new super gear mode indicates to me that alongside the visual presentation, they're wanting to expand and build on what came before this go around. From another perspective, this is also finally the first true HD Mega Man game, and the 4th wholly 2.5D title (or 2nd, if you discount the remakes).

Just wonder what took them seven years to get around to it.

I agree about the graphics as it seems like they were trying too hard to be Mega Man 2 ignoring the gameplay changes of previous games.

Now we need for this to do well as well as the X games re-release and we can maybe dare to hope for a Megaman X9.

Legacy collection for Switch hits Spring, X games in the summer, and MM11 probably later than that most likely winter.

Gameinformer is also gonna do month long Megaman coverage.

What a pleasant surprise! I love the cel-shading design they went with for Mega Man 11 and NOT another old school SNES design again (nothing wrong with it) and it really fits so well with the MM series.

Now if Mighty Number 9 utilized the cel-shading design it would've look WAY better.

Though the animation is stiff with the running, though I suppose they wanted to show up what they got for the game right now. Also is that an English Voice Actor for Mega Man for when he grunts and fires? Sounds kinda... deep for a kid-like character.

Anyway I'm REALLY looking forward to this! Like with Sonic Mania I'm getting it on the Switch as well!

Welcome back, old friend, welcome back indeed.


Now let's get X9 and ZX3 to come out next!

Got a little more info on the game from Gameinformer reported by various sources.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/12/details_emerge_on_mega_man_11_difficulty_options_a_weapon_wheel_and_more (http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/12/details_emerge_on_mega_man_11_difficulty_options_a_weapon_wheel_and_more)

There'll be four difficulty options. "Normal" will be as expected, but "Superhero" should challenge skilful veterans.

The Robot Masters are former allies of Dr. Light, and this one will allow you to tackle all eight from the start in any order. That's the norm that many are used to, but don't forget that some Mega Man games have split these stages into a couple of tiers, so it's nice to have all eight as targets from the get-go.

There'll be a weapon wheel applied to the right stick, which could mean quick switches between them if you remember which is assigned to each direction. Also, as you can see in the trailer the slide move is back, but the final controls for that aren't yet decided.

The gears seen under the health bar in the trailer and screens relate to "an entirely new gameplay mechanic that will impact Mega Man's moment-to-moment action". Not much more is said on that, but we get a glimpse of it right at the end of the trailer when Mega Man is surrounded by some sort of destructive field, with the gears spinning away in the top left.

MEGA MAN LIVES!!!

I was actually starting to expect MM11 after Nintendo and Sony were retweeting the event (I should hope they have more sense than to retweet another boot showcase), and basically all of the artwork floating around leading up to it was Classic series.  Ironically, the X Collection and the LC Switch ports (ALL of which I will be buying on Switch) were bigger surprises.  I was happy to see the stream give a nod to the entire franchise, especially with the big X memories discussion.

I'm just going to say it: I'm glad to see Mega Man without Inafune.  I love Inafune, but his 2D heyday is clearly behind him, and I got really sick and tired of what would have been FOUR Classic games that removed the slide had Universe not been cancelled.  So no more of that.  No more chasing 2's shadow.  No more NES milking, which was questionable at MM10 and would have been just boring now.  And FREAKING EGUCHI IS THE DIRECTOR, WHOO-HOO!

And to anyone bitching that the armor change was taken from MN9, it wasn't.  BN did that already.

Star Force costume in that GameInformer screen?  Could we see more easter-eggs from other series?  Sure hope so.

Always happy to see more Rush, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the Rush Jet be as wonderfully broken as it was in MM3 so that we don't have to see Rush reduced to Item 2 with a decorative face, thank you.

And yeah, hoping to see Proto Man and Bass.

ROCK ON, EVERYBODY!

I'm not really worried about those two. Whether they're available out the box, unlockable or NPCs saved (the inevitable) DLC, there's no way I can see those two missing this party after so long.

The real question, I think, is Roll. Understandable that she wasn't likely going to be playable in 9/10 since there weren't any 8-bit sprites to work with or other sprites from other games to use as a reference. Nut now that we're back in a 3D realm? Gimme back my broom-wielding terror from MMPU and TvC. She's got a HOUSE to clean~! 8D

Actually she was playable in the mobile port of MM1 with a full sprite set. And that is still no excuse since they created sprites for Bass who didn't have any for NES style.

9 and 10 just wanted to stick to the oldschool notion of Roll at home tending the shop and being moral support.

While 10 was an excuse to make an 8 bit bass.

Four?! Where did you get that number from?
But yes, i'm glad they're moving past the "MM2 was the peak" mentality, everybody was sick of it by now.

No more 8-Bit, no more pretend NES, moving forwards instead of trying to reclaim the past through some misguided nostalgia.
Title: Re: Mega Man 11 OFFICIAL TRAILER Announcement
Post by: Flame on December 08, 2017, 05:06:56 PM
Well 9, 10, and Universe...

Though I'm not sure where the fourth comes from.

I kind of have to agree with Hypershell on Inafune. I love the guy, (MN9 debacle notwithstanding) and his love for the franchise is admirable, but you know, every kid has to outgrow his parents eventually. And I would argue that Inafune's tenure as figurehead of the franchise peaked in the 90's as series producer, because that was the last time he was fully immersed in the franchise as not only it's face, but the guy in charge of making the games too. Once he went to the Zero games, he completely neglected the rest of the franchise, delegating it to others and just being the executive who signs off on projects.

He might as well have left the franchise altogether, because despite still being the figurehead for it, he wasn't really involved with it anymore, being busy with other game projects and then his job as global head of production. He hadn't left it completely like Kitamura did, allowing someone else to take up the reins of the franchise.

And then he abruptly left altogether. It's clear from the dev interviews that other Capcom staff viewed him highly, and they were all reluctant to fill his shoes because of it, leading to an identity crisis for the franchise.

But, hopefully they've straightened that out now, and we can have an actual franchise revival. Hindsight really is 20/20, because while the devs say Inafune always directed to "never let a series stagnate", he was arguably the biggest cause of that stagnation in the first place.

EDIT:

So it seems a physical release has been confirmed.

I didn't know Capcom was capable of necromancy.

I imagine we'll see more as we get closer to the release, Capcom is well aware of the fanbases behind Protoman and Bass, no sense in wasting hype building.  8D

Indeed.

I mean again if nothing else they will at least be playable as DLC I bet.

Since it seems to more than just MM2 this time I'm hoping for some new features like more playable characters and the like. (maybe a return of MM Powered Up's level editor?)

Ball's in Capcom's court, that's for sure. I wasn't into at first, but became more optimistic. Poor Inafune though. Why did MN9 wind up being such a turd?

Same reason the prequel trilogy was awful with Lucas or The motion picture and season 1 of TNG was [parasitic bomb] with Roddenberry....no one to keep them under control. Inafune always had people above him to keep him on track.

Hey, Blue Valkyrie, that avatar pic looks like it's from FFXIV. Is that your Character in game?

Yeah! I saw this trailer when they released it on YouTube and I'm super excited. The last time I was this excited about a video game release was back in 2003 when I learned about Halo 2 coming out the year after that! I can't wait to see how this game pans out after release. Who knows, perhaps the seven years without a Mega Man game was exactly what the franchise needed to really focus on pushing forwards and getting out of the stagnant water it had been in for the past decade.

As much as I personally enjoyed, and still do enjoy a great deal, Mega Man's 9 and 10 this feels like the proper Next Step this franchise should have taken a long time ago. I don't think I'm going to follow the development of this game too closely though because I want to be totally surprised by everything the game has to offer when it comes out so don't be surprised if I'm not around until later this year after the game drops!
