MegaMan Legends 3 is REAL, AND IT'S SPECTACULAR...LY IN 3-D

[KoiDrake]

They probably meant that, seeings how there hasn't been a non-cel-phone Legends game in a decade, a "scrap" Classic model was easier to come across than a Trigger model.  I'm betting the Rock we see there is some previous developer content that never saw public release.

He is refering to the fact that they said characters, in plural, as in, there are more characters than Trigger to play with. Who knows...

[Hypershell]

Oops, my bad.  I was still in the mindset of his first paragraph.

Well...could always be a translation error?  Not to be a kill-joy, but this would be far from the first time pre-release mistranslations got one's hopes up regarding players (co-op rumors of both X7 and X8).

Still, we might be surprised.  Maybe Aero will be paired with another newbie?

[OBJECTION MAN]

And this ladies and gentleman is how Megaman in Powered Up should have looked.

They used Mega Man character data from a different game because they hadn't finished the playable characters for Legends 3.

Prototype Powered Up model perhaps? Or another canceled classic title?? Or perhaps just bad wording for saying "We used another Megaman cause Trigger hasn't been modeled/perfected yet."


The new more refined city screen shots look amazing by the way. Hype restored!!

[Flame]

As I said before on the Megaman Network (And I'll say it again if I have to), I really like the classic style Rock and Forte and hope they don't go to waste (As in, I hope they make a use for them .)

Same here. Would be cool if they were left in as bonuses. (playable classic Megaman anyone?) Hell, maybe they can turn them into plushies somewhere in the game.

Mega Man Legends 3, Resident Evil Mercenaries Go Playable Later This Month!
Capcom holding 3DS demo event in Akihabara.

Was there some talk recently about Mega Man Legends 3 not being an actual game yet? Well you can put that idea to rest now! The game is going to be on playable demo at an event later this month!

Capcom announced today plans for an event tilted "3DS x Capcom Premium Demo Event." This will be held at the Belle Salle event space in Akihabara on the 29th.

The event will have Super Street IV 3D Edition, Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D and Mega Man Legends 3 Project available for play. SFIV is already out, but the latter two have never gone playable on Japanese soil before (Mercenaries was playable for press outside of Japan).

To sample Mega Man Legends 3 and The Mercenaries 3D before others, head to Akihabara on the 29th between 15:00 and 20:00. Admission is free.

Well, that's good to hear. At least it survived the cutting board... for now.

New contest, deciding Volnutt's design in the game, the choices are

A) L2 look
B) A slightly more detailed design
C) "Armored", has slightly less bulk than the other two

I personally voted for B, but in this case, I'd be fine with any of the three.

Link here.

[OKeijiDragon]

I picked Design B.

Basically, it takes his Legends 1 colors and combines his Legends 2 design, with new details added and allowed by the hardware Legends 3 is on.

It's the best of all three, IMO!

[Fxeni]

I agree on Design B being the better version, however I think the silver parts on his armour should be light blue instead.

[Kieran]

I picked C.

When you consider that Trigger looks completely human under his armor, the other two designs having ball joints and mechanical hands doesn't make any sense at all. >__>

[Archer]

All of you voting for C realize that you're removing Trigger of a certain piece of armor which reveals a major weakness?

Going without the codpiece is just asking for trouble.

[Flame]

Yeah. It doesnt really sit well with me how he is well armored EXCEPT the crotch area.

Just feels weird.

the human design is nice, I DO like it, but doesnt work with the nature of his body. (mix'n match)  which the balljoints accurately illustrate.

So B for me

[Acid]

Yeah. It doesnt really sit well with me how he is well armored EXCEPT the crotch area.

Just feels weird.

It worked well for Copy X

[Flame]

Copy X followed Zero series armor standards. thin chest length jumpsuit vest and thong.

he also probably has no dong to be worried about.

Trigger has heavier armor than that.

it looks odd, because the rest of him is all thickly armored and [parasitic bomb], while that area is exposed.

[AquaTeamV3]

The lack of crotch-plate in C doesn't really bother me.  I mean, we've seen Volnutt in an apron already, so it's not like we just now found out that he has a waist.  I do also like how the design also conveys a sense of speed; he looks a bit more agile, and the gloves are a nice touch.

[Acid]

Now now now, let's not bring realism and common sense into video games. You know it's a lost cause, the the first one who brings it up is usually out of points.

[Flame]

It just looks odd to me.

design is nice, (the gloves like Aqua said, are a nice touch) but... odd.

[Mirby]

I really like B. Lack of crotchplate in C aside, it just looks like the most aesthetically pleasing design to me.

[Hypershell]

To me, Design C looks like it's bleeding Classic/X elements together, with the hands and waist.  I mean, you could throw that design into Command Mission, no problem, and it wouldn't look the least bit out of place.  It loses the "Legends" feel. 

I went with A.  I like consistency, and I like seeing classic designs brought to life in the hands of both more detailed artists and more powerful hardware, no need to reinvent the wheel.  But I must admit, B is pretty darn awesome.  I just wish, color-wise, they'd left the thighs/upper-arms gray.  Again, that was a fairly unique touch to Trigger's design among the many "Mega Men" we know; no sense in going backwards.

[Protoman Blues]

I really like the B design, but I'd prefer it with the A color scheme.

PHOTOSHOPPERS. CAN YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

[Protoman Blues]

Excellent work, Rolla! You'll make sergeant for this!

And yeah, that's my favorite version!
