Topic: What does Hideki Kamiya know about Rockman DASH?

[Acid]

...He's a dick?

Kamiya?

Judging from his twitter he seems to be a pretty cool guy. Not dicky at all.

Hey, Kojima seems like a pretty cool guy as well. But he's cockblocked me for the last time! 

[Jericho]

Which brings me back on topic:

If Inafune and Capcom were preparing MML3, how come Kamiya teases us now?

There were a lot of mentions that Inafune got held back because other projects needed the spotlight or had to be green-lit first, and then there was that experimental phase the MT Framework engine (the one created with DASH in mind) entered before producing the awesome we know about it now.

[Acid]

But he's cockblocked me for the last time! 

Oooooh I doubt that! He just recently stated "Yeah I could make MGS5!" (Instead of well I dunno... Snatcher or ZoE maybe?)

I'd still like being friends with him.

LoL, I meant that I've stopped believing his Kojimalies! Until I see a brand new trailer or something, I believe nothing he says regarding other game franchises he'd like to work on!

And yeah, I'd still like to be friends with him too!

So what you're saying is... when Kamiya left Capcom he took with him the knowledge that we will one day have Legends for sure? But he doesn't know how development is going?

Oh, oh dear.

I honestly think the Lost Planet gameplay would be suitable for a Legends game, but they'd have to make the aim and the movement ALOT faster, and the jumps quite higher. Aside from that, I think it would work out quite well. 3D Megaman NEEDS to be a third-person shooter. Heck, either that, or have a gameplay similar to Other M. But I honestly don't think that'd go well.

I could see the threads already

BAAAAAAWWWWWW THEY RUINED TRIGGERS CHARACTER

HE CRIED WHEN HE SAW TEASEL BONNE

How else would the gameplay of a 3D Megaman game work? I mean... a lock-on mechanic is just pathetic in this day and age, and in the last few years, companies pretty much just do it if you plan to fix it later (lawl Prime trilogy) or if your shooting gameplay is too [tornado fang]ing shabby for the visually impressive world you created (lawl GTA). Aside from that, there's no excuse to put a lock-on mechanic as your only option in a third/first person shooter.

(and yes, I consider "only option" when the only viable way to play the game normally is that one.)

[Phi]

You know, having an X game using a style similar to Other M could be really interesting. The gameplay is already simple as it is.

Legends using that style however, would make it feel entirely different from the previous games.

[Protoman Blues]

I've never played Lost Planet, so I don't know the game style, therefore I have no real opinion on that.

As for game play style, it needs to be more like Cannon Spike!

[Flame]

Oh, oh dear.

Am I wrong?

Got no problems with making the game top down myself. =P But I think that would [acid burst] off even more people.

[Turian]

Please don't kill me guys...

I think Mega Man would work well as an FPS. Pinpoint shooting and dodging?

YES IT WOULD. THANK YOU.

...ONLY NOW EVERYONE WILL HATE YOU AND CALL YOU HALOFAG.

HALOFAG.

No lies, it would work. Since the market's bukkake'd daily with FPS however, I'd much rather them try something different.

FPS games can be quite different. Many nowadays have the typical realistic behavior, weapons and physics like Call of Duty and Battlefield. But look at Halo's physics, or at Bioshock's weapons. They're wacky and colorful and bouncy and fun and cool.

So a Megaman FPS would not only work really well, it would be the realistic next best step for the franchise.

FANS WOULD [sonic slicer] LIKE THE [chameleon sting]ing FIST OF THE NORTH STAR but it would ultimately be a very good game and they'd probably become disappointed when the old style comes back, ala Prime/Other M.

Not to the people who don't play them. Which, and I am pretty sure, is the majority of the MM community. Without heavy marketing the game wouldn't really sell well I'd assume.

I shall comment on this when I get home! 

[OBJECTION MAN]

I recall Inafune mentioned they made the engine with Legends in mind, but that doesn't necessarily mean it would play exactly like that.

However... I don't think it would be all that bad. LP gives you a bit of auto aim within its cross-hairs, and moves pretty fluidly. Increase jump, and maybe increase the auto-aim scope for the sake of user-friendly-ness, and you're good to go.

Nah, it's not the logical next best step, Metroid: Other M is actually closer in line with what the series is about, wacky platforming challenges capped off with an encounter with a creative boss character/mechanization. (Also, the usage of crazy abilities that while limited, enhance the platforming challenges, and solve thinly veiled puzzles within the levels.) FPS Megaman would more than likely be forced to remove most of the platforming or focus less upon it and highlight something that's more of a secondary thing within the series, the shooting. Before you come at me with "How can MM shooting be a secondary mechanic?" consider this -- if it were the highlight of the series, you think we wouldn't have had a standard 8 direction shooting mechanic in the 2D games by now?

[Acid]

marketing

Speaking of that.... Capcom sucks at marketing. They should leave that to Nintendo or something. Now THAT would make the game a success.
