Rockman X is Over

[Sakura Leic]

Which is what I want to prove.

If it was on a platform I could actually play it on, I would probably give it a try.  I kind of want to play the iOS version of Rockman X, too.  It may be ugly as hell, but it can't be any worse than Rockman X: Cyber Missions was.  x:

Please tell me that was a huge joke.

Xtreme 1 was not great, but even X7 is better than what XOVER seems to be like.

Did you hear that funny, high-pitched noise?  Yeah... that was me.  I squealed like a fangirl.

[Karasai♪]

Fangirl-like squealing, huh? I dunno, Capcom isn't likely to have made any real improvmOMG KALINKA

On the other hand...is this thing coming out within the month or not 'til December? Will they actually try to haul it out of auto-scroll purgatory (not likely considering that Auto Play is still polluting the game with its presence) or are they just going to let it sit until it's closer to the 25th anniversary?

And just when did they start development on this?

[Joseph Collins]

Heeeeey, the article updated.  And hey!  Cutman!  Neato!  Looks like brand new or heavily edited sprites, too.  I have to say, though...  I'm getting tired of Capcom's disregard for "styles clash."  Cutman looks a bit large compared to OVER due to the difference between Rockman X and Rockman 7 sprite styles.

[Karasai♪]

the cutman sprite looks bad

[Ladd Spencer]

Why would you even think about getting such a horrible game. It's self admittance that they are incapable of utilizing their own IP as a development house. What share holder would stick with such a spineless and self-defeating company?

At least it's got some new sprites. *Shrugs*

Xtreme 1 was not great, but even X7 is better than what XOVER seems to be like.

X7's not that bad. I'd say it's better than Cyber Mission. At least it tried something new and was clunky. Cyber Mission is like a guessing game on physics and hitboxes. The stage and enemy layouts are also crudely done, at least to me.

[Joseph Collins]

Hey, Capcom!  We can make this game, too!  Apparently.

It still plays like a real Mega Man game. It was glitchy, and the plot was a pretty bad excuse for rehashing the past, but nowhere near as bad as you make it seem.

New sprites? You mean like the edited and filtered SNES X sprite?

[VixyNyan]

I thought the X sprite sheet ripped from the iOS X game looked great. The game might not meet everyone's standards tho, but at least there's new dialog to breeze through and read about. ^^;

So many Auto Play and Skip buttons.
Playing it by using the regular buttons helps you gain higher levels tho, so that's what I did. ^^;

umm if that's what the game is actually like then it's a steaming pile of horse [parasitic bomb]

seriously i cant even imagine playing more than 2 minutes of this game without getting bored

Oh wow if the end product really is exactly like this that would be just hilariously bad.  Seriously if Xover is exactly like this those involved in the production of this should be fired.

[Joseph Collins]

You know, maybe I'm crazy or just have poor taste, but after playing the fan-made mock-up I linked... repeatedly, I kind of want a copy of this game.  It looks like it could be a lot of fun, despite the "auto-scroll Hell" style of gameplay.  There's some strategy involved in the side-scrolling parts -- knowing when to charge a shot and knowing when to just let loose normal shots.  Combos raise your Experience meter, too, which I assume means better goodies at the end of levels in the real game.  If you let the game go all by itself, you get minimal rewards, but don't risk losing life.  The later levels, I assume, will probably have harder enemies which actually move and such, so the decision between charging a shot and wildly firing becomes harder.

I can't honestly say this "makes up" for the last year, but you know what?  I can honestly say, this looks like it could be fun.  And this without even adding in the modification aspects or multiplayer!

[Flame]

...You worry me, Collins.

To be honest, there are still a few gameplay gimmicks that have not been shown in action yet, like the card stuff, and the forms.

Though I doubt they will alter the gameplay significantly. If anything they will add stats and different attacks. (A slash instead of a shot, for ex.)

Best of all, I win every time!

...

Is Xover gonna REALLY be this easy?

[Flame]

Its a free to play Social RPG isnt it? yeah it likely will. Capcom wouldnt put effort into something like that. Online had some real effort. But- it wasnt free to play, AND, it wasn't being developed by Capcom.

[The Great Gonzo]

I saw it on PRC. Looks like I won't get to play it 'cuz the demo is now down.

I don't want to automatically assume that, say, Capcom was involved, and that it's just 'cuz the traffic got too intense or something, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Joseph Collins]

What the hell?  It's even been taken down on 4chan! (I was looking via Google search, just in case anyone cares.)  Wow...  What the hell?  Maybe Capcom was involved somehow.  O_o

[The Great Gonzo]

This is the same company that wanted to ban anyone who brought the unused, fully-functional data in SFxT to light, so...

[Joseph Collins]

Wait, wait, hold on a second...

*digs around in the trash -- er, cache for a bit*  ...!

[insert Rockman 7 1-up noise here] 

[The Great Gonzo]

OK, so Protodude spoke to Press Start (one of the developers), and they're just moving it to a different URL. So Capcom (hopefully) hasn't started shutting down attempts at calling them out.

[Joseph Collins]

I'll update the URL as soon as it's ... updated!  X3

(I bet Bananachan just got giga-slammed by an influx of users or something.  Heh heh.)

Edit: Oh.  There it is.
