Rockman X is Over

Her tits weren't THAT big...

Her tits weren't THAT big...

Don't tempt fate! Or else Subby will swoop by to prove you wrong!

[Sub Tank]

He's right. They should have been bigger.  That's twice the energy capacity for all her navigational functions.

Underwhelming TGS trailer is underwhelming.

Only about a half-second of gameplay, and still no real indication that this will be a decent crossover. The most interesting thing, to me, is that Luka gets multiple armours...though I've got a bad feeling that these "armours" will, in-game, just be recolours of his default set.

Also, I couldn't help but notice that Volnutt is completely absent in that bit starting at 0:09, and only appears at the end, in that Xover promo art. Then again, Zero's missing as well.

"This game is totally awesome!  You can slot chips into OVER and make him powerful and stuff!  And not just boss character chips, but enemy chips as well!

Oh, you wanted to see the game in action?  Um... okay...  How about... blam!  Check out shooting those Raybits!  And oh!  Storm Eagle attacks!!

Isn't that awesome?!

Please buy our game.  TuT"

[Mirby]

I enjoyed the music. And I am curious to learn more. Aside from that...

also, the robot hiding the Body Armor Capsule in Sting Chameleon's stage is the upper-right chip.

The running animation seemed kinda jerky to me...

The trailer doesn't seem too bad.  But I expected a bit more.  I am still uneasy on Capcom just releasing the game on the iPhone though.

The trailer doesn't seem too bad.

I saw a skip and an autoplay button, and nothing that indicates that you control any kind of movement. If my expectations for this were any lower they'd be negative numbers.

[The Great Gonzo]

I saw a skip and an autoplay button, and nothing that indicates that you control any kind of movement.

According to Famitsu, the stage we saw has forced scrolling. No indication that it's just that stage, or if you can move up and down (it just says you jump and shoot with the on-screen buttons).

Gnargh.

[Treleus]

Just about everything in that trailer is old recycled art assets. Even the gameplay portion. Take a good look at the Battle Network rip-off menu.

I love how they used the boss intro from Mega Man X for this. They are wholeheartedly embracing the fact that they're just banking on that game to sell and characterize this one.

[OBJECTION MAN]

The running animation seemed kinda jerky to me...

Yeah. That tends to happen when your running animation is 3 to 4 frames.

What a terrible disappointment. It is inevitably even worse than I expected. I'm not sure how that was possible. I just had a feeling maybe the developers were even SLIGHTLY motivated to make a product they can at least be in some way shape or form, even in the smallest amount, proud of being a part of.

Apparently that's not the case.

Putting effort in a Megaman game is a punishable crime within Capcom

"What a great anniversary"

[The Great Gonzo]

But at least Metroid has a chance of recovering from Other M...

"What a great anniversary"

Exactly

[Hiryu]

So how about those fangames?

[Flame]

But at least Metroid has a chance of recovering from Other M...

Metroid had it's 25th anniversary totally glossed over. And 26th. Other M's. Blowup has caused a legends 3 like event with metroid in Nibty.

[The Great Gonzo]

True, but at least it seems like Nintendo hasn't just dropped the series (there's a Metroid-themed game in Nintendo Land) after one base-breaking game. And I don't think Other M's failure was followed by a veritable deluge of awful like MML3's cancellation.

"What a great anniversary"

Crying so hard right now.  T_T

Actually, I'm serious.  That image is just so sad...  Rockman needs a hug.

[Protoman Blues]

At this point, what he really needs is an animated Gangnam Style video to get him some hilarious attention.

OPPA ROCKMAN STYLE?

[The Great Gonzo]

I'd love to see a video like that. Maybe one of Megaman's siblings shows him that dance to try and cheer him up?


Oh, and a fellow named Andreas Asimakis was able to play Xover at TGS.

IT SUCKS.

[Joseph Collins]

To be fair, it sucks so far.  They're (supposedly) not done with it yet and a lot of the demo features were locked.  Maybe it's better when it's fully playable.  I mean, even Doom/II RPG let you actually control the character.  I can't imagine that Rockman Xover would be nothing more than a glorified stripped-down rail shooter with no challenge whatsoever.

... then again... games these days really aren't as challenging as they used to be anyway.  And are chalk full of tutorials you don't need.  So maybe this is all there's ever going to be...

To be unfair, demos are suppose to get you to want to play the actual game when it comes out. Locking certain features like that and making the demo god awful does nothing to help achieve that goal.

Now back to my imagination and Oppa Rockman Style
