Topic: Rockman X9 getting big support from fans!

[Solar]

and i already played the 16-bit megaman X but i have to say i dont want a 16-bit megaman.......8-bit megaman is acceptable but 16-bit megaman X?sorry but no.....Capcom really made [parasitic bomb] on the megaman series for several years so please.......make it special,advance,highly super graphical than devil may cry......making it 16-bit would show that they were truly lazy or not serious about megaman.....

Yeah...no.

If there's one thing we've learned after all this time is that "technologicaly advanced"  Megaman games RARELY do well. Legends 1 & 2? We're still waiting for a third part after all this years, so that REALLY says something. X7? We all know what happened. X8? No idea how well it did actually. Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up? I don't think I need to explain the situation here.

X7 was GREAT. it was the stage layout that could have used some more planning. as they were very bland and too straight forward. X8 was good, but once again, lacked a bit in the stages. they were very straight foreward (some not all, as antonion has shown) and simply had gimmicks. I mean, trilobyte has you go through the same area twice, and dont get me started on manowars stage.
other than that, it was good. and the only reasons things like IHX and MMPU did "badly" is because they didnt do good in japan. the PSP wasnt as wide spread there yet, and all they like are card battlers and "collect em all's" sidescroller egaman games do pretty much better here in the US than there.

Id rather have a game that I can buy, and that if my console were to die, wouldnt be lost. if my 360 broke years from now when that game is no longer available for DL, I wouldnt be able to Dl it again. if I had the disc, I could still have the game.

I just start to wonder how many people actually know about and use XBLA/PSN/WiiWare.

Mega Man 9 at 100k just seems low.

[VirusChris]

X7 was GREAT.

Another person like me who loved X7!
And I agree with you about X7 and X8.


I don't mind what style they went with X9, but I'm hoping for the PS1 graphics (mainly X5 and X6) cause I want to see a 2D sprite of Axl by Capcom. I like how they setup the different gameplay between the three characters and I hope they keep it in X9.

And some return of old characters will, I don't know, Dynamo?

Maybe the story plot should tell about Axl and his "attack" from Lumine during their last mission. Just like X5 depending on the performance of the player they can either save Axl from Lumine's infection or have him destroyed to save him from becoming a Maverick. Just a thought.

I swear, the day the story in a megaman game doesnt revolve around MEGAMAN...
oh wait...

@1st part: Well, my point was that the 3D Megaman games seem to cursed somehow or another.

@2nd part: Agreed, that's why I liked the rumor that the Wii version would be a normal disc game.

Well, those sales are Wiiware only, not to mention NA only too. Also, it's still in the top 10 Wiiware games sold in the week, so I don't think we should compain.

but the thing is, that theyve just started to settle and get to work on the X8-IHX graphics, and with IHX, the improved upon X8, it would be a pity if they just abandoned that.

[HokutoNoBen]

They worked, but even a number of Rockman fans agree with the notion that the "feel" of the classic games was just not there with X8 and IHX. They touch it up, and I would be (more) interested.

Personally, as I may or may not have said before, I'm open to most graphical styles. But the single most IMPORTANT THING, again, is if some one like Inticreates is on board. While the X series was floundering about in quality in their absence, they kept on delivering with the Zero series, and then showcased their old-school flavor with RM9.

An X game, that basically did more to continue where the likes of X1-X3, as well as Zero 1-4, left off? I'd be ALL OVER THAT...

This dammit, this. Especially the bolded part.

[Flame]

Definitely keep Inti. theyre good at what they do. they really are.
though my one plight is for it to be a game I can actually BUY and be able to hold in my hands.

[Kieran]

I think the only way to make a -really- good X game at this point would be to remove Capcom's involvement altogether.

Or at least Inafune.  But then, that's just me.

[TheMogX]

If inticreates helps develop this game,  I dont care if its 16 or 32 bits, everything is gonna be awesome.
But getting a little into the story... it is suppose that sigma is not comming back like they state it on X8, so no more Sigma... is thats possible? 

I don't mind him really, hes hardcore.

[Kieran]

They have to leave him behind -sometime.-  He wasn't in Command Mission at all--he didn't even get -mentioned- at any point, so they -are- capable of writing a story that doesn't involve him, in theory.

why Inafune?

[Kieran]

Well, mainly because if it were up to him, the X series would've ended at 5.  Considering he doesn't really -like- that the series has continued, I doubt he's really going to put a lot of effort into a ninth game.

[Flame]

it happened and theres nothing he can do about it, but he still loves his Zero. hell continue it as long as Zero's there to steal the show.

[HokutoNoBen]

The way things are now, Inafune is the Head of Capcom's R&D, and has the role of overall "Producer", when it comes to the Rockman series .

To put it bluntly, he's not really knee-deep in the Rockman series, as he once was. He may hold the final say-so with a lot of things, as well as has the right to exercise his "executive authority" and quality contro,l whenever he see fit, but the majority of the work is now handled by people who he trusts to handle the details, and he just approves of it. RM9 was a rather rare exception where he came back to play a more pivotal role, but I can't imagine him doing that, but so often. Not when he could stand to be busy doing other things, like parading the cause of Lost Planet, and its upcoming motion picture. 

[Solar]

Worst. E3 conference. Ever.

[Waifu]

Well, I just hope that even if it gets the green light, I hope that Inafune would ask whoever is going to design the game to create it of impressive quality while maintaining the "feel" the series had. Hopefully, the story would not be so convoluted that it contradicts what Zero series had already in placed or create an alternate timeline altogether. I do not like the ultra skinny characters X8 had and I want them to go to the artstyle of Mega Man X1-7 or even Command missions designs.

[Yllisos Zanon]

Just had a thought, let's have an X series game, based on the actions of the enemy, where you play as the main villian. You have to tackle thrugh some Repliforce and Maverick Hunter Animal bosses, making X and/or Zero as the final battle.

lol Vile/VAVA.

[STM]

Yep, it's been done. X and Zero tag team against you for a final boss in Maverick Hunter X. Was pretty fun.

Sounds like Maverick talk to me!

[Bag of Magic Food]

Eh, they make you fight enough good-guys-gone-bad-- Why not let you fight them while they're still good?

X4 and X5 and some of X6.
Not all of repliforce was maverick. in fact, almost none of them were. only a few that sided with sigma. 9and then the ones dispatched BY sigma) Colonel and General for Ex DEFINITELY weren't Mavericks.

then you fight X or Zero in X5. and can fight Zero while hes not awakened. just regular Zero who happens to be OD souped up with moves he never had before. >_>;

not all of the Nightmare investigators were maverick. almost none in fact. they were just following Gates orders cuz he revived them.
