News and Announcements / Re: Hope for the Future or Corporate PR? Capcom Boss & PB Discuss Mega Man's Future

« on: December 10, 2011, 01:47:36 AM »

It's a fun read.

Anyways, I would love for PB's idea to happen...but I just can't see it happening. Capcom still has plans for Rock, yeah, what with his supposed inclusion in SFxTK (if the Bad Boxart Megaman rumor is true though that'll help NOTHING with their situation), so at this point it feels like the only place for the franchise is cameos and merchandise right now. Still, who knows, I can only hope they're planning something big for the Blue Bomber, like a big revival for the current/next consoles. One can dream, right?

Good news, bad news time.

The good:
This is finally getting localized for NA (there are supposedly some pics on NoA's twitter but I haven't checked yet).

The bad:
It's gonna be Gamestop exclusive. What this means for places without a GS I have no idea (Well, I do remember stores here getting MMSF Dragon version, so maybe it won't be a problem?)

They explicitly mentioned that it hasn't even been shown on the comics yet when they were explaining the origin of each alt.

tl;dr

So essentially, the short version regarding the UMvC3 trolling is, it's really not trolling and don't sweat the small stuff like that. Cameos are in for fun, not douchebaggery, and there's really no malice behind it.

Pretty much. Like you've said, Capcom are not doing it to make MM fans angry, MM fans are doing that to themselves, HOWEVER, it IS Capcom's fault entirely that that happens because of how they've handled the situation.


Also, on the whole $40 expansion thing and Capcom having no interest in using its DLC, personally I don't mind that much. The way I see it, those are $20 less that I have to pay for all characters (if they were going to keep their prices the same it'd be 5*12=$60 for the characters alone), plus it comes with more stages (although as good as they look, none of them are truly new), and system and balance changes. It's also way more convenient for gatherings/tournaments, because if Jill/Shuma were any indication, chances are I wouldn't be able to play with half the new characters every time I go to my weekly tourney -.-

Now, whether all that stuff should've been in the original version in the first place is another argument. Still, I'm sure you know how companies work; even if the ones making the game would've wanted that, the guys at the top of the company make it impossible.

I've only spent a few minutes with it so far, but for some reason the pointing controls are really sluggish.  I haven't been able to find any options to adjust them.

Well, they' don't use the IR like in TP, they're more like Wii Sports Resort so that's probably why they feel that way to you?

I swear, the internet is too hung up on this "character referenced in game = not joining the roster" and it's really silly. Especially now in the day of DLC and companies going for whatever can make them the fastest buck/fan demand backing this up.

Yeah, that annoys me too. Background and ending cameos, references, colors for someone else, and a card are one thing though, but making that character an entire new model only to use it as a costume for a totally different character? That's soul crushing. I'm not saying X's chances are 0, but I'd be lying if I said they don't feel like it.

Maybe I should've noticed something was off if we already had those victory shots ripped, but according to this, the extra costumes are ON-DISC DLC.

This one of those "you should've seen it coming already" things. All of them being shown on the guide should've been the only hint for this you needed. Besides, they've been working on them since the original, it makes sense that they are. At least you get 2 for free if you get Jill and Shuma...which are and were on-disc dlc themselves already.

My Tron comment was a not so subtle reference to both PR Rog's Hail Mary command grab KO vs. Viscant at EVO finals and the glitch that makes the assist version of Bonne Strike drill KO Phoenix during her transformation.

I know you probably did, but I was being serious =P

That's the one!

Really? When did they confirm that?

Too bad it got patched in UMvC3.

You mean the TK drill infinite that wasn't really talked about much nor uploaded to youtube to, in the words of the one that discovered it/did the video I don't remember, avoid having Capcom know about it so that they wouldn't take it away, or another one?

Yeah, personally I'm hoping the X alt is secretly their way of starting some work already on Pringles Edition, and then Zero gets his MMZ alt and X becomes a full character with his MMX looks as an alt.

As for my team, I'm hoping for Phoenix Wright (Press the witness)/Amaterasu (Cold Star)/Rocket Raccoon (Log Trap). I really want to play Nick, and I'm never dropping Ammy (she also goes with everything!). Rocket looks fun and should provide all the cover Nick needs while looking for evidence, and if the assist should ever hit while I'm looking for an objection then I just got one for free!

Anyone else kinda wish Hsien-Ko was Vampire Saviour good? Like seriously, I've been playing a lot of that lately and I hate that MVC3 Hsien isn't anywhere near the same league.

Are you kidding? I'm sure everyone does, MvC3 Hsien-Ko is just depressing

I think everyone who knew the context behind the Imperfect Future ref. was rightfully angered...

A bad future in which Sentinels have killed most mutants MvC2 characters, and of the ones in the current "wanted" list, Megaman is the only one that hasn't been captured/killed.

I still feel you guys overreacted about that, and in a way trolled yourselves if you thought that that was something than just a reference. Hell, I bet that if MM had been one of the characters with a "slain" caption on him, many would be calling that a troll and use it as "evidence" for Capcom not wanting anything to do with Megaman anymore.

They say troll, because that's how it feels.

True, but I'm talking mostly about the people that don't actually care and just go "lol Capcom is trolling the MM fans again" at every chance they get.

Besides, I definitely get it for something like the X alt, that HURTS, but for a stage/ending cameo? Come on =/

Oh I'm definitely voting with my wallet (in a "not buying any alts" way, I need the game itself...). While what you say is true, PB, I'm sure that having X as an actual character (or at least not as just a costume) would've definitely helped them.

Personally, I'm just getting really annoyed that if there's ANYTHING Megaman related in something these days, a lot of people (mostly ones that aren't even MM fans too) rush in to say "lololololol Capcom trolling MM fans".
Me:"Oh hey there's a Classic MM cameo in the Days of Future Past stage. Neat"
Everyone else: "Troooooooooooooooooll"
Me: "That X card in H&H mode looks pretty cool."
Everyone else: "Troooooooooooooooooll"
Me: "Ok, Mega Nova Corps actually sounds and looks awe-"
Everyone else: "Troooooooooooooooooll"
Me:"..."

(No, I don't see X alt costume as a troll, I see it as a really stupid decision)

The more that I look at these alternate DLC costumes, the more that I have come to believe that Zero is wearing X's regular armor, probably with Zero's face instead of X's.

*takes a close look* Nope, that's definitely X's own face.
