my thoughts? with the metric frickton of both regular megaman games and very talented fangames like this one, why is the fanbase so upset the series is on hiatus?
>why is the fanbase so upset the series is on hiatus?
They are as autistic as the Sonic fanbase. The Megaman franchise has so many games and they're all pretty similar, but for some reason they want more of this repetitive crap.

>no more new mega man games to play
>want more
Not that hard to understand.
Well, there are more than 30 titles. Enjoy it
Pretty much this.
>They are as autistic as the Sonic fanbase.
Main difference is that the Mega Man fanbase is significantly smaller than Sonics ever was. Only two Mega Man games ever broke a million copies, meanwhile the recent Sonic slop, Sonic Frontiers, sold 3,500,000 copies.
I remember seeing a tweet a while back that said that Mega Man didn't really have the same issues the Sonic fanbase did, like the ClassicModern split.
Except, the Mega Man community absolutely does, in retrospect.
Have you ever heard of Battle Network being described as some variety of Pokemon but with Mega Man? That is something that lingered from the days that Battle Network was new, from fans of ClassicXZero who didn't view Battle Network as being part of the same franchise at all. while also arguing that people who were fans of Battle Network weren't actually Mega Man fans.
Truthfully, much of the Mega Man community are just relentlessly bitter for anything other than their own works. It makes me wonder what the japanese side of the fandom makes of the whole mess, just glancing at japanese Twitter with some keywords did turn up a couple of posts about there being some notion of arrogance in our works. Like we think we know Mega Man better than literally anybody else.
What's the deal with the brazilian community, though? Aside from that weird comic.

This literally never happened. The only people who say this, haven't played them at all and have no relation to any other group of fans.

More insane schizophrenic nonsense. You must be some crybaby discord troony blabbering about people that nobody else has ever interacted with. Most retro gamers love mega Man and castlevania generally and just want more games.
Would you mind disproving it definitively, then? Because I distinctly remember this originating from the original Bob & George forums around 2004-2006.
Not that your attitude is suggesting you'll even bother with a basic fact check.
>goes to obscure forum full of homosexuals
>cries years later about some argument he read
You should go back, homosexual
>about some argument he read
>some argument
But I thought you said it never happened at all! Now you're acknowledging it? Dumbass.
NTA, but it isn't as though much variation is really that apparent to someone totally unfamiliar with the series. If the common loop of a Mega Man game doesn't land with a person, there's not going to be much reason to try anything other than maybe Legends or Battle Network.
So much of the franchise depends on the same framework for gameplay, and although those series look different in aesthetics, how many games can be generally described with the pattern of "robot with ability to jump and shoot goes through 8 stages, fights a boss for each stage, goes through 4 fortress stages, one of which is one-on-one rematches with those 8 bosses, and fights a 2-phase final boss"?
There's a lot of variety... IF you're in to the series. Otherwise the surface details tend to look really same-y, which IMO is why the franchise nearly burnt out to begin with.
Tl;dr: You write like an insufferable homosexual
As it offends you so greatly, I will gladly continue to further spite you.
>This is literally all video games you reductive idiot
You might've missed the part where I used the word "franchise". Narrows the scope to, well, the franchise. As in, the Mega Man franchise.
Then again, if you can't tell RayCrisis apart from R-Type apart from Zaxxon, then maybe you're the reductive idiot.
Yes, this applies to every gaming franchise you dumb Black person. That's what makes them sequels. Mega Man is no more samey than 99% of the other gaming franchises in existence.
So your whole point, like you, is moronic. Go back to to your troon discord server.
Also, shmups are the single most generic and samey genre in all of video games.
So why even bother with the conversation? Go play your "original" games, idiot.
All I'm calling out is that Mega Man tends ot be a bit same-y, and you're here... Defending it? Condemning it? I can't even tell because you're presently trying for the title of "dumbest poster on /vr/".
You can't tell because you're an autistic troony with no reading comprehension skills. It was clear from post one, that you're dumb fricking criticism of mega Man, applies to all franchises. You're basically saying "it's bad cuz franchise". And it's particularly comical when you consider that between classic, X, Zero, ZX, Legends, and battle network, it actually has more variety that literally 99.99% of all gaming franchises.
What are you, trying to underflow your stupid stat so you pass the intelligence check?
You aren't even talking about post, you haven't been this entire time.
>If the common loop of a Mega Man game doesn't land with a person, there's not going to be much reason to try anything other than maybe Legends or Battle Network.
Obviously, this refers to the basic gameplay loop of *A* Mega Man game, which most games in the franchise share, to your point. You jump, you shoot, you fire energy shots that are often called lemons. It is generally what one will think of when they think "Mega Man". However, if that loop doesn't stick, then how different the games are from one another is not going to matter, no matter how much you scream "bUt aLl vIdEo gAmE fRaNcHiSeS wOrK tHiS wAy" at the top of your breath. The things those games in that franchise have in common will take precedence.
Only someone as stupid as you would argue against themselves and think they won.
>if you don't like the most core element of the game you won't like the sequels
Holy shit bro that's fricking deep. Kind of like how if you don't like generic shmup #2694 you won't like generic shmup #31657 because you're still just flying forward shooting out dots.
If you don't like dragon quest 4, you won't like dragon quest 7 because it's still a turn based jrpg instead of a fricking racing simulator.
You're a dumb Black person. From post 1, you basically said "mega Man bad cuz the sequels still have similar gameplay, except when they don't". And as previously stated, you're a moronic troony because this criticism is true for every other fricking gane series on earth, except a couple like the cluster frick that is final Fantasy from 11 onwards (and this is a bad thing btw).
Take the L you fat bald homosexual. You posted a wall of text about a game you don't like, yet never made a single valid citicism because you're too low IQ.
>gran turismo and forza suck because in all of the sequels you just drive cars
>generic shmup #2694 you won't like generic shmup #31657
Far less generic than moronman/Megagay. wienerman is overrated redditry worthless homosexuals like you eat up because you've been filtered by a genre unweighed by gravity. A mere flick from a shmupLORD would shatter your weak jawline, but not before you curl into fetal position from the anguish of inadequacy upon witnessing our 6'4"+ builds, spines straight and tall; given free rein to grow towards the moon rather than be cuckold to gravity, while yours was compressed by the planet's grasp from your very first instant in the womb. The shmupLORDs share a chuckle at your subhuman face, now even more chinless, as we turn back to the machine and effortlessly 2-ALL DaiOuJou.
>shmups are the single most generic and samey genre in all of video games.
Shmups are the purest game experience, with full range of movement and constant forward momentum not weighed down by gravity like moronman. moronman doesn't even have scoring, it's too busy adding RPGshit like menus or autistic upgrades in the seX and Queero series. Megagay's a Black person, and moronman's a cuckold. Learn to read game 4th-dimensionally and you'll see how shallow moronman/Megagay is.
Nah
>So much of the franchise depends on the same framework for gameplay,
This is literally all video games you reductive idiot
>hurr durr they're all the same
Unlike cawadoodie 78, open world slop #782, Soulsborn #123, Literally every beat em up, literally every shmup, etc...
You're moronic. Mega Man going from classic, to X, To legends, to Battle Network, To Zero, to ZX, is actually a ton of variety.
>Only people I know who plays Mega Man games these days are the biggest turbo spergs in the communities i'm in.
Exhibit A
I see you have no counter argument, Black person. Megaman is one of the single most popular series for retro gamers, get over it.
>proving their point
This, and Sonic is still getting games, keep in mind.
>Battle Network being described as some variety of Pokemon but with Mega Man
Only Pokemon gays say this and that was at the time Pokemaniacs were looking for "the next Pokemon/Pokemon killer" just like today, funny enough.
In theory, a new Mega Man made by Capcom should be better and more interesting than one made by fans. There are many great fan games, but most of them take too much inspiration from the old games and don't innovate enough. On the other hand, Capcom usually plays too safe when it comes to Mega Man.
fangames aren't canon
those people play megaman for the story
i'd consider myself part of the fanbase, and i'm fine with fangames--if they're good. the gripe i have with this demake is there's a lot of empty space.
also, another thing i like about fangames is they tend to get the attention of the developer, if only for C&Ds. i don't like fans getting sued or whatever, but usually if someone takes action against a fan developer, it probably means they have something in the works. so it's win-win for the players, assuming whatever game that comes out is good.
i don't know how i feel about that JKB guy. ever been to his twitch chat? jesus lord almighty everybody in there is a fricking moron. i mean, basically everyone in a given twitch chat is a fricking moron, but this is an especially bad case. you're also not allowed to discuss when the game's gonna come out. i get that insofar as there aren't many people working on it and perhaps there's a certain quality standard they're aiming at so they don't really know when it's coming out. on the other hand, that homosexual's been working on it way too long for a mega man game.
i'm not going to say i have much faith in that project, but there are plenty of gameplay videos out there, and they look quite good.
I have. I'm guessing his garbage twitch chat has something to do with the disproportionately large number of brazilian MMX fans.
Because I wanted my MML3 20 years ago and no fangame will ever give me what I want.
Because the more moderate voices in the community moved on, leaving the vocal minority of idiots to take over and influence the new influx of fans.
Now the fanbase does not personally care to count figures, soundtrack releases, artbooks, cameos, themed DLC packs, shows, game collections, fan works, general merchandise, and even new game releases that aren't Mega Man 11. Whenever any discussions of what Capcom has done for the brand comes up, there will be some absurd contortion of logic to say "CAPCOM HATES USSS!!!!!!" complete with the kind of rhetorical bullshit you'd expect to find in political "debates".
So it isn't even really a hiatus.
Lmao shut the frick up you massive fricking homosexual. No fans, new or old, think that a bunch of licensed merchandise and dumb 45 iq gatcha cellphone trash, are a replacement for a REAL MEGA MAN GAME. have a nice day
Capcom Europe was fricking right and you're STILL mad about it.
This is actually very very true. Only people I know who plays Mega Man games these days are the biggest turbo spergs in the communities i'm in. I enjoy them, but I just don't have any interest in new ones, they all play the same in some form or another.
Don't tell Capcom.
What system
>Demake
>16:9
Fricking morons. Why do these le heckin fake retro idiots never use the right aspect ratio? It's like they're solely using service level aesthetics... oh wait!
You speak like a homosexual
He's right.
have a nice day
Looks neat. Will JKB just fricking release Corrupted already?
JKB is basically a meme in many Mega Man focused channels by this point. The guy has been working on that game for nearly 2 DECADES, I don't think he will ever release it. Btw, he said that if Capcom ever announces X9, the project is over.
I don't want to believe that someone would spend almost 20 years working on something they'd readily throw away if Capcom announced a new game. That'd be loser award of the century.
Idk, that guy giving a starcraft source code cd back to blizzard is still the most pathetic being in existence for me.
>I don't want to believe that someone would spend almost 20 years working on something they'd readily throw away
but he is getting money from patrons.......
it's like one of the most sophisticated scams of all time
Corrupted is basically a bunch of sprite cartoons in the same vein as what you used to get on Newgrounds. There's no actual game there, it's just ornate sprite animations, they're not testing or balancing any of what they're showing.
>Will JKB just fricking release Corrupted already?
we will see epstein client list first before ccorrupted gets released so.....
Shoulda done X7
>"BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!!!" will not be preserved in the demake.
Both vehicle levels got slightly improved, but as a whole, the demake still retains the same gimmicky level design philosophy of the original, except now with less characters and no upgrades. What was the point of this?
It's not Mega Man X: Corrupted
>Bamboo Pandamonium's charge attack is unavoidable unless he throws the bamboo wall attack first, and it can happen a few too many times
>You have to dash towards Dark Mantis to dodge under his slash attack (how the frick would you ever guess this)
>Dark Mantis' jump and grab attacks are randomized, have barely any telegraphing, and his mid-health slash attack has a much more ridiculous area of effect than the original
>Charge shots take too long to charge
>Dash-jumping covers less ground than jumping, then dashing in mid-air for no good reason, ruining the flow of the game if you want to go fast
Otherwise it's alright. Great sprite animation work. I beat it a few hours ago.
>SFC demake
>called FC
why?
The best part is it's not even running on a SFC, it's just another one of those shitty PC remakes pretending to be one
If that's the case then I don't like it and it won't play it
That's every "demake" though.
There is that one symphony of the night remade as a Genesis version, but I know what you mean. Don't like the PC megaman demake.
But Portal 64 get canceled
and it got cancelled because Steam is an absolute cuck to Nintendo
Meanwhile any other homebrew title wouldn't get slapped by Nintendo.
Bot post.
I just made it and thought it was funny.
>didn't bother to demake the soundtrack
Pass, you had one job.
yeah i don't like the x8 ost either. it's mostly because the guitar tone is ass.
X8's OST is great though, some of the best songs in the series.
Never said MMX8 is bad, it has great tunes like Bamboo Pandamonium and Antonion. I'm complaining because this is supposed to be a demake and developer didn't use MMX soundfont.
It wouldn't work well since the SNES soundfont can't do good guitars, and the OST is full on guitar twanging.
id rather have a megaman 11 demake
>Apparently Zero is unplayable and Axl is cut entirely.
I can respect the effort, but I'm not interested.
Axl is pure trash.
Self contained storyline.
story wise, where do you even go with an MMX9? do you stick to what's in the games? do you foreshadow MMZ? personally, i don't want a lot of drama, retcons, or anything else. just give me X and zero fighting mavericks. maybe a prequel is the answer.
>Make it like MMX1!!!
Nope
Trash and uncanny as frick, it doesn't even look like a MMX4 on the SNES-CD
>no playable Layer
Tell me why i should bother with this slop?
>Why does a robot need breasts, much less underboob?
It just DOES, ok!
>Why does a robot need breasts
Because Reploids were designed to have their own personalities and thoughs, so naturally the female ones will want to actually look female. It's a binary civilization.
most important thing in this thread:
How the frick do you play this game?
press the buttons
It's nice, but it feels more like Corrupted than the SNES games. Bosses are even more over the top than the original, stage design is still very different from the other games and even the visuals (save for ones edited from the SNES games) look like a different style, though X3 already had that sort of thing. I don't like X8 much as is, so it wasn't particularly interesting to me, but it's fun. Shame to not see Zero or Axl, though.
