I'm still confused as to how you're having trouble with the control scheme.  Not only can you turn while running (streamlining things greatly), you can also do a quick turn with the circle button.  Rolling is pretty much the best evasive maneuver in the franchise, giving you large invincibility frames that really do wonders in boss fights.

WHOOOOA. You can TURN while running? Man, that's a total movement revolution. Who needs quick intuitive controls that all games use nowadays when you got [parasitic bomb] like THAT?

Nothing against you, but that's one of the dumbest [tornado fang]ing things I have ever read in my life.

Would you be so kind to explain this? Because honestly, nostalgia isn't enough of a reason to pick up a SERIOUSLY aged control scheme that's worse than the old Tomb Raider games in terms of fast movement unuseability. Why in the hell would Capcom reuse the old movement style, ALONG with the [tornado fang]ing dumb turning-by-triggers when they can simply use the system all third-person shooters use nowadays, which is intuitive, and you don't need to carefully position yourself one or two steps to the right just because the [tornado fang]ing controls take seconds to make a single turn.

I'm really hoping he's just someone who thinks he's Dante. Maybe something like having false memories implanted.

That would somewhat please fans, right?

...the tone of the game has still changed, as far as I can tell. Severely. And seeing as Ninja Theory have never made a good combo-based game like DMC, which requires a certain level of complexity, leads me to believe they're gonna alter the gameplay.

By making proper use of the shoulder buttons Mega Man moves as swiftly as a fox.

>shoulder buttons
>movement

...that is what's wrong with it. Nothing wrong with it back then, but plenty of wrong with it now that we have controllers to make all kinds of movement possible. Using shoulder buttons to move around in this day and age is not just unrealistic, it would be idiotic for anyone with two brain cells to rub on each other. Itagaki has already said in the past that all he'd need was the Dead Rising engine, and they'd be able to develop the thing in no time.

It's still a fairly useless exercise though. It doesn't matter how much in the way of "allowances" a developer may make, it still is up to the player themselves to decide if they want to take that step. Time and time again, the "training wheels" approach has proven that it does little to actually make more believers in the genre. What does? Things like the VF4 line's in-depth training/kumite mode, which does more to actually break things down so that even the most novice of players can understand a number of the game's basic and advanced mechanics.

All MvC3's simple scheme is going to accomplish is likely going to be the same thing that the Wii-mote control config did for TvC. It's not going to enforce a "training" mechanism of any sort, and it's more likely to be something that can be exploited in the right hands.

Time, and acceptance will tell.

RE4 and RE5, dude. Those both have Tank controls, and they're both recent. I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility for Capcom to go that way. Not that the controls handled badly anyways, for me at least.

They're a different sort of tank controls, the kind you can't move while you shoot. Those wouldn't be used for Megaman. They still want you to shoot while moving.

According to one of the interviews, the game was only 10% complete. So there's plenty of time for improvement. Another thing, given how insane Revelations' graphics look, i wonder if it could really get much better than it already is. (it is one of the early 3DS games afterall)

Until now, I haven't seen any gameplay from Revelations so far.

Oh man, people are in for such a pleasant surprise if they think that 3DS is only Xbox1/Wii tier. Not even for the sake of starting some arguments, but there have been pretty knowledgeable people commenting on its potential output that originally thought it was somewhere around that area spec wise, but have later stated that if anything, they were being too harsh on the system (without meaning to at that). The current consensus is that instead of being an Xbox+, it's actually more of a 360--.

Meanwhile, [tornado fang] the whiners, they didn't want Legends 3 enough if a platform choice would stop them from getting it or saying it'd be suited to another console better .

I do believe the 3DS might be all that and a bag of chips, but why do those SF4 screenshots look like total crap so far?

I'm not saying that Ben 10 Alien Swarm / Ultimate Alien and Generator Rex are bad shows, definitely watchable and good shows although I never find myself watching and devoting myself to it as much as Adventure Time, but I was refering to Totally Spies and Johnny Test that are totall crap. Well Sym-Bionic Titan does kick the crap out of TD in the long run. That's a fact.

We've only had one episode so far, though.

And Totally Spies is basically just fetish fuel. They pretty much got all of the fetishes covered in all of its episodes.

An announcement is an announcement. After all, Japan loves Spider-man too, as he's probably one of the first Marvel personalities they got to know. (Tokusatsu adaptation decay/WTF not withstanding! ).

You misunderstand. I'm not fighting the "Simple" control scheme, by virtue of it being there. In this way, it's nothing more than the "Easy Auto" that existed in numerous fighting games before. Hell, even the likes of Bayonetta and old school DMC had that kind of things in place to make things easier for first-timers. That much is fine.

No, what I have a bone to pick with, is how the DEFAULT control scheme was already "streamlined" as it is, compared to previous Marvel games. As it stands right now, the game's default configuration is Light, Medium, Heavy, "Exchange" and the two Partner Buttons. Quite different from MvC2's control scheme, and definitely the source of much annoyance amongst seasoned players who, more than the aspect of it being "changed", don't like how the new control scheme will take options away. But whatever, some of us expected/accepted such, because Niitsuma was on board this time. And it seemed that they wanted to try and make a control scheme that would be more "welcoming" to possible new players. Whatever, we were stuck with it.

But now, lo and behold, we now have confirmation of a "Simple" control scheme which pretty much renders all of that pointless! For those people who are going to pick up the game to play through the story mode, get any trophy/achievement data that was to be had and etc., this mode is clearly for them. Meanwhile, those of us who were most hoping for a MvC3 over this last decade have again been short-straw'd, and apparently, for no good reason at all.

So, again, I ask: What was the purpose of changing the default control scheme, if they were planning this Simple mode, any way? Capcom and Niitsuma would have avoided so much in the way of backlash, if they had just put in the Simple mode as an option, and left the MvC2 control scheme verbatim in MvC3.

Because they've already said that the "simple" control scheme is merely a tool to evolve players to the normal one instead of being an alternate scheme to get comfortable with, seeing as they don't even know if they want to put all the specials available to players using that scheme. They want the full gameplay to stay at least somehow simpler than it used to be, for everyone to get used to.

I wish I could deny that.  I really do...


Well, I already have remarkably better success at handling imaginary right analogue sticks than Daemon Hatfield, so I guess holographic would be the next step up.
Who do you think you're fooling?  You already complain about the 2D games (ZX) not evolving.

The hell you talking about? A 3D Megaman game will already be an evolution, and seeing as Capcom will NOT have that retarded tank control scheme in this generation on a new system (unless the game is for the PSP or something) the game WILL evolve, in controls as well as environments, simply due to the fact that it's being made in superior hardware that it was made years ago, and unless they try to make it retro 32-bit, the changes WILL happen.

And honestly, I don't really see Spiderman rising hype for anyone. Whatever his reveal would've been most people would just be "oh they finally showed Spiderman" instead of "[tornado fang] YEAH SPIDERMAN!"

He's Marvel's big character. Like Mario for Nintendo or Snake for Konami. It's what basically puts them on the map most predominantly. Of course he raises hype.

Last for now most likely, in 2-3 years we'll probably get an 8th one.

Anyway, watched T2: Judgement Day last night. What an enjoyable movie, sad TNT had to censor [parasitic bomb] even at 11 PM.

Rushing things isn't good. The regular DS still has the potencial to last for a big while, and we just got a new model recently. We don't want Nintendo to turn into Apple and release new hardware constantly, so we have to keep buying new [parasitic bomb] to be updated.

Then get the damn patch working.

He may be ONE of Marvel's biggest heroes, but for the most part, the likes of Wolverine and Iron Man are more in the public eye now (thanks to more recent films). That likely will still continue for some of Marvel's other brands, if Thor and a Captain America feature are still slated to appear some time soon next year.

I'm sure more hoopla for Spider-man (as well as possibly any body he may be bringing with him, like [Anti-]Venom or w/e) will definitely be made at NYCC. 

Any way, my main issue so far? The "Simple" Control scheme. So...we went through all these changes to the control scheme to what it is currently, as an effort to "streamline" the interface for casual gamers...only to then offer an even MORE Simplified control scheme for casual gamers?! Dammit, Capcom! Why didn't you just have this "Simple" control scheme as an alternative from the jump, and allowed those of us who wanted some thing more traditional to have that any way? 

Simply because of recent films, it doesn't mean he's less popular. His toys and merchandise continue to be best-sellers, he's got a new animated series coming out, fresh off the cancellation of his old one, and he has several comics coming out every single week. He's being more whored out than Wolverine, Iron Man or Deadpool. Even with the recent low sales due to the OMD bullshit, the series continues going strong and appealing to people of all ages, and he still is Marvel's most appealing and timeless character. It makes absolutely no sense to announce him like this.

And arcade needs to evolve for all people to play, as I told you a thousand times. The simplified control scheme is just THERE. You don't need to like it, and you certainly don't need to play with people using it. Just pretend that it doesn't exist.

And we look forward to your bitching about whichever of those aspects are not included therefore signaling the lack of evolution in MegaMan games.

A near decade of skepticism has me ready to dismiss this as an MvC3 reference.  But I'm hopeful.  And I will try, very very hard, to not [sonic slicer] about console choice, whatever it may be (though if it's PS3-exclusive I'm going to be up [parasitic bomb]'s creek).

EDITS: Hm...  [sonic slicer] is censored, bitching isn't.

IT WILL BE KINECT EXCLUSIVE.

...AND IT WILL FEATURE HOLOGRAPHIC RIGHT ANALOG STICKS.

...THE WHOLE GAME WILL BE BASED ON RIGHT ANALOG STICKS.



And unless it's 2D, the damn game WILL have to evolve in some way from the previous titles. It's inevitable. And you won't find me complaining about that.
