    They just don't know what to do with him. There's no way to make a 2D/sprite based one sell as much as their big franchises (MH, RE) and they don't want to commit to a fully 3D game like modern Marios because it's uncharted territory for them.

        all play exactly the same as their 2d counterparts, x7 being the exception for obvious reasons

          Seconding 30XX. No one is going to come closer to the MMX formula at this point. The rougelike aspects don't really matter (you get stronger as the run goes on, just like you would as you get heart containers / armor pieces in mainline games). Most "builds" end up pretty much the same for both characters. Pick the boss weapons you want, pick things that make them stronger / more useful.

            Two main grievances with 30XX for me are
            >Ace controls like total shit because they want their melee character to be as non-committal as their ranged character, I very firmly think Battery Staple doesn't actually understand why Zero "works" or feels good to control in MMX and MMZ alike. I do laud them for giving him a full suite of melee copy abilities this time around though
            >Resonant armor gets way too strong way too quickly and isn't a replacement for the core augs which have actual armor powers still. This is on top of Resonant armor not being a sure thing in every run, which is good for the roguelike side of it but very bad for the MMX side of it

              I find this interesting because Ace is by far the better character and relies a lot less on "getting lucky" with powerups. pick ascent, projectile counter and shadow double from bosses and you have mobility, defense and damage all covered just from three boss weapons. The rest of your kit doesn't even matter, just flavor to preference.

                Ace's mobility focus in his *powers* is good but I find it insufferable that he has no weight when he's using anything that isn't Ryuusei, and doesn't ground himself for hay-hoo-ha saber attacks or charged sabers. Charged saber implementation sucks too while I'm at it, it's been a consistent problem for Ace since 20XX that his charged saber is really unimaginative to the point that taking MMZ's splash saber swing would be better. But it feeds back to them not wanting Ace to ground himself or be rooted in place for any attack at all.

        Sidescrollers are still sidescrollers and X7 was poorly received. What I meant was a high profile 3D platformer like Mario 64, Sunshine, Wonder etc. Current Capcom isn't willing to take a gamble and make an actual AAA with Megaman.

      Came here to essentially post this. Capcom, for all the good that they do, is among the most blatantly money hungry Japanese developers. They don't hate Mega Man - they just know that they can't monetize him the same way that they can a MH, RE, or Street Fighter title. As much as it hurts to say, Mega Man just isn't "worth their time." They are also still butthurt over Inafune who hurt their Japanese honoru

        They are but that's why they don't make them anymore. every project at Capcom is all-hands-on-deck. Previously, it used to be the project, along with quite a few others, they would put people on with downtime between major huge releases like Street Fighter.

        Remember Rival schools? The reason we aren't getting more of that isn't because of Hinata's panties or it selling less than SF or whatever. It's because it was a project that had members from their fighting game dedicated to it on downtime between games. But SF doesn't have downtime anymore, it's a continuing services game with DLC, with extra characters, with additional content for that game constantly being released. There is no time for someone to go and make a new game with whatever resources they have just to put something on the shelves for that year. IIRC, MM11 isnt' even an in-house game, it was outsourced.

          >MM11 isnt' even an in-house game, it was outsourced
          MM11 was developed in-house, but the reason it took so long to get off the ground was because someone had to step up "to be the new mega man guy", and also present a passable pitch. Based on what the guy who got MM11 going said, there might have been other MM game pitches in the interim, but those pitches probably weren't good enough, or like you said, most of the developers were busy with bigger projects.

          That's not how the 90s Capcom arcade division worked. They had enough devs to work on multiple games at a time, and teams were formed on a per-game basis. While some people were working on Rival Schools, others would be working on Jojo, others would be working on Third Strike, and so on.

        Sonic Mania didn't make as much as you think. It was $20. That's probably why Superstars is 2.5D because 3D models let them come up with the excuse to charge full price. Both devs and consumers inherently believe you can't charge full price for pixel games now.

        Sonic's problem is a little different than Megaman's. Capcom just won't do anything with their mascot, while Sega will do anything BUT what fans want. Capcom has internal devs who know how to make a good game but won't set them down with it to work on. Sonic doesn't, and refuses to hire studios who clearly do.

  8. 5 months ago

    Because what else is there for them to do? Classic will always be classic and can almost never deviate. X is a fricking mess from top to bottom with experimentation that ranges from good to terrible on top of plot moronation. Battle Network is done. Legends, who gives a frick about Legends outside the people who actually played the 2nd one. Zero series is also finished. That leaves Star Force and ZX which had promising futures, but also released around the time Inafune left whom was the sole reason Capcom kept producing these games. Now it's been roughly 15 and trying to continue their stories, but really who cares at this point when Capcom themselves show no interest in keeping them going.

    Mega Man is good for cross promos at this point. They know Mega Man doesn't sell like Sonic or Mario, but they're also aware people will support games where his likeness is involved.

                I was really wary of it when I first heard the idea that Beck would copy basic stage enemies since it gave me MMX7 and X8 flashbacks to Axl. The idea is way cooler than any execution of it ever could be and X7 did it more justice with copying small abilities and power-ups kinda like a projectile Z-Knuckle.

                Most weapons are just degraded versions of weapons that already existed in the series before or minor sidegrades. Here's the thing: most mobs aren't designed to be particularly efficient or effective. They exist to be mowed down and their weapons are rarely that useful. There's pretty much nothing in Z4 that merits replacing the Z-Saber or buster shot.

        You'll be fine with Megaman.

    Capcom won't invest time into mega man if they can invest into monster hunter instead and get better returns.

          It has a lot of things going for it, but if you find even a single problem with it, that problem is going to haunt you because it's kind of the same few gimmicks recycled over and over again.

          People give MMX6 and X5 shit but those games had a variety of stages with different gimmicks each stage. This mostly has a few, and just swaps between them.

Bet actual fans even now don't know Neo's on Steam, that's how little they tried.

      That's just nonsense. All you need to do (for a mainline entry) is have 8 robot masters, have a power weakness flowchart, and have a stage full of minor enemies that ends in a boss fight.

      Things like MML, MMBN, and MMZX didn't even strictly follow these guidelines.

      MMZ even challenged the basic notion that you need a blue hero with an arm cannon in the lead.

    Honestly. I was looking at Capcom library and all of them seem incomplete as frick. I guess SF is their most polished turd but almost everything else has holes all over. Whether it's the gameplay that needed just a tiny bit more fine tuning or a story that left a huge plot gap or plot holes all over the place. Even replaying BN I'm just left with a feeling after all the games going "oh that's it?". Almost all the Capcom games really feel like they need more fluff.

    How come nobody theories that X is literally just Rock? An upgraded Rock but still Rock. Why do people assume these are two different characters?

        He ain’t with Capcom anymore so his word means nothing. Some new guy can come in and say they’re the same person just like that.

      Because it says in the opening to X1 that he's clearly not Megaman.

          Why in the ever loving frick would they throw out X's entire character and everything they built up for it, just to retcon him into being Megaman?

      Reminds me of the old theories about X being Volnutt.

        Still mad the English dub changed "Irregular Hunter" to "Purification Unit". It was a cool callback, Volnutt literally had the same job as X on Elysium.

          It bugs me that the English release changed Volnutt's first name from Rock to Megaman, too. Kills the impact of the Megaman Trigger name twist when he's called Megaman the whole game.

            Wouldn't Roll be like 2 when this happens?

          Really? That's dumb, I didn't know that. At the very least they could have called him a Maverick Hunter

    better question, how come no one ever said anything like "hey x, you kinda look like this kid from 1XX years in the past"

      Robotics were completely forgotten by the time Cain unearthed X and reintroduced them. X doesn't really look like Megaman regardless anyway apart from the armor design vaguely resembling him.

        Different body, same mind. OG Rock’s body was destroyed but his AI survived. Light builds him a new body and Rock is reborn as X.

    Like others have said, it doesn't sell as well as their other IP's so they don't allocate any resources. There also isn't anyone within Capcom with enough legacy to champion the franchise.
    I also think it has the same problem Castlevania ran into. Everyone went 3D so they did as well but they weren't as big a hits as the likes of Mario or Zelda so they downsized the franchise, experimented a bit, and eventually just pulled the plug.

      it's funny you say this because Legacy of Darkness did super well, didn't it?

        Not sure. Can't find any reliable info on Castlevania sales. All I know is the reboot LoS was the best selling which I think isn't surprising in the same way MM11 sold the best. Legacy franchise+bigger user base than before, hasn't had a new entry making people curious, etc. I doubt the sequel sold as well which would explain why Konami pulled the plug afterwards.

      Mega Man was inspired by Astro Boy and Casshern. Just make a Mega Man inspired by Pluto and Casshern Sins.

      Mega Man Legends 3 would print money, if nothing else for the meme value associated with it, and they could put all of their Lost Planet guys on it and make it metroid Lost Planet but blue boy and it'd make mainstream press.

      Or just make yet another spinoff to gauge interest. Tron is enough of a character outside of Mega Man to carry a Misadventures 2.

        I still argue the only reason Legends wasn't a big seller was the god awful cover art that makes it look like some shovelware knockoff of Mega Man. The games should've sold better for what they are.

          Unironically you're fricking right. He looks like a Reboot character and I mean that in the worst way possible.

    We've already established that Inafune was the one actively pushing Capcom to make Rockman.
    Nobody at that homosexual company wants to be that guy who suggests to stop making monsterslop in favor of any other IP.

    Compared to the rest of the "big four", he never made it big. Probably because kids and newcomers have a hard time getting into the series with the classic series being inaccessible with it's difficulty and blancing, and a confusing-ass convoluted timeline that's overly complicated for a kids mascot.
