Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype version officially announced!

[Blackhook]

So yeah guy, this is getting ridiculous.
Apparently don't you dear wear/have anything megaman related at comic con and god forbid you mention Legends 3. You get kicked out.
Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

[Acid]

I've been thinking,

maybe we should change this thread's title?

[Flame]

One anon suggested chanting "Legends 3" at any of Capcom's announcements, or just in general. I agree.

[Jericho]

You say that now, then they make a new version of the game 6 months later.

I'm weird about this stuff, probably because I didn't experience mass re-purchasing of editions for Capcom's fighters in the past, but this doesn't bug me in the slightest so long as they give me good value for the jump, be it in the form of new characters, modes, or the like. I do think that everyone should get options though, like a mass DLC upgrade pack for those who bought Vanilla MVC3, but in a case like this where it seems like everything is getting a mass overhaul and then some on top of new characters and engine changes, then yeah I understand the need for a disc based release. (Think SFIV -> Super SFIV transition)

CyberConnect2 wut.

[Acid]

Entirely depends on Capcom and if they're willing to hand it to someone else.

[Hypershell]

We need to start keeping track of how many developers are backlashing against Legends 3's cancellation, 'cuz that's the second one I've seen.

[Flame]

Yeah. The fact that even other developers are backing up the fans on this, is proof that Capcom severely underestimated the audience for this game had.

[Phi]

Thinking about it, i don't believe cyberconnect2 made any handheld games (not entirely sure on that). So in their hands, Legends 3 could very well be a PS3 or 360 title.

Or Cyberconnect's ticket to the handheld market

[Blackhook]

Didn't they make the .hack games? I think there was one for the PSP.

[Gaia]

Yeah they did, waaay back. It was .//hack/LINK if I recall. There was a CyberConnect2 reference as a hud in the "desktop screen" portion of Act 1 (which was Kite's adventure).

At this point it wouldn't hurt for them to commence development for L3.

[Mirby]

There's this now, a Facebook group entitled "100,00 Strong For Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3".

Some of the more interesting pages that liked this are Capcom's FB page, Nintendo's FB page, Keiji Inafune's page, and Operation Rainfall's page. Also Comic-Con International.

Capcom has now officially raised a shitstorm of truly epic proportions.

[Flame]

Kinda old news on that, but yeah. 100,000 strong. I know I liked.

BTW, thats not Actually inafune behind the page.

[Mirby]

Still, it says something. Even if he's not in control of that, the fact that he's there is a good rallying point. in fact, when the page wass mentioned on his page, there's a lot of YEAH THE MAN HIMSELF IS ON BOARD!

Best comment was "Fight, Keiji, for everlasting peace!"

Well, now that begs the question: If on a handheld, which one? My money's on the 3DS, or even possibly the Vita.

[Acid]

Why not both?

More availability = more sales

[Flame]

Multi console releases FTW. though I would prefer console myself.

[Phi]

That would be pretty cool. But i'm positive the 3DS version would be the gimped down graphically, considering the Vita is more powerful.

[Acid]

I didn't ML1 and 2 for graphics, and I wouldn't have played MML3 for graphics either.

[Phi]

Fair enough.

CyberConnect2 also made Tail Concerto and Solatorobo, both being very good and worthy substitutes to the Mega Man Legends series~

[Flame]

Im pretty sure it's graphics are good enough for it's era. At least the facial expressions all are done perfectly. many gmes fell to the trap of trying to actually make the faces themselves move with polygons, which didnt always work. legends just stretched the canvas over the faces and animated them instead.

Thats aid, the 3DS Legends graphics themselves looked pretty sweet IMO, so either way its a win win.

[Gaia]

Well, not many people played Solatorobo (and mostly, I played .//hack), so I guess it makes sense.

Graphics don't make the game, my friend~

Edit: Whoops, why did I change the title for..? 

[Flame]

I wasnt saying that to begin with. Was just responding to Archetype's worries about dumbed down graphics. To which I said "it will look good either way"
