LOOKS badass but just doesn't work with megaman you know, it's like that overdesigned Bomberman.
[QUOTE=mzathemind;40564591]LOOKS badass but just doesn't work with megaman you know, it's like that overdesigned Bomberman.[/QUOTE] At least this still looks like Megaman. Also, former Metroid Prime devs. Those games were fucking baller.
That is one badass looking Megaman

Honestly, it looked like a hilariously misguided gritty reboot. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olYCsHuqjOo[/media] Coulda' been fun though.
They shoulda made it more like actual Mega Man, with robot masters, charged-up blaster, a wide variety of wacky robots, and of course the various abilities gathered from the masters you defeat. Also it woulda been better off looking more like anime, since I think the series does evoke that graphical style. I mean just look at the kid's eyes in Mega Man X or the Legends games; that's so anime.
How about a Mega Man fps with a similar art style to Wind Waker.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;40564706]this wouldn't be the first time a Megaman game has presented a different Megaman this looked amazing[/QUOTE] Yeah, it definitely wouldn't be the first time, but this design just doesn't look good. Honestly to me X was already the worst Megaman (in terms of character) and this just took him and made him really, well generic to be frank. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the Metroid Prime devs, and would love to see a Megaman FPS, but this looked like a really poorly done idea.
Looks shit to me. This would of had a ton of backlash if it wasn't cancelled.

[video=youtube;aeQRp089R1E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeQRp089R1E[/video][/QUOTE] I'm well aware, and that is quite well done, I just think the idea of a more story driven (X, Zero, EXE, ZX, Legends, maybe even Star Force) Megaman FPS that's a bit less oldschool is also possible.
[QUOTE=Samoht;40564713]Honestly, it looked like a hilariously misguided gritty reboot. Coulda' been fun though.[/QUOTE] Given how Capcom just recently published a gritty reboot that was received poorly by fans of the original series and failed to sell in spite of glowing reviews, they're probably pretty conscious of that right now.

Dammit Capcom I thought you were all about going for new customers only and spitting on your old fans, look here Capcom, I would have bought this!

[editline]7th May 2013[/editline] Not really a fan of that redesign anyways.
