Those robots at the end...
They are from Wily Wars... (When I saw 2 health bars on the last robot, that gave it away)

Well done, can't wait to play!

Commenting on the trailer. Spoiler tagged for those who haven't watched it.

Thank goodness for the Bright and Fire Man reworks. Looks like I won't have to feel bad about distances in my maps with Ground's stage having expansive, open terrain. Oh man, the attack of the Xs from King! The nostalgic raging. Good thing we can strafe in this, lel.

I already knew about that last thing in the trailer since January.  

[Tfp BreakDown]

All aboard hype charge man!!

[Ceridran]

Once the update comes, what will we have to do to make sure our wads work with the new version?

[The_Broker]

Excellent trailer! I am very excited for the upcoming version and cannot wait to get my hands on it.

[Hallan Parva]

the only thing in the trailer I'm not happy with

(click to show/hide)

it's Fire Man's new stage

sure it was small and tight but the layout actually worked well for what it was
and now Fire Man seemingly tripled in size

R.I.P. MM1FIR duels




also it's probably the first-person view and no doubt the projectiles look prettier from another angle
but Wave Burner's preview made it look like Atomic Flames (Proto Man's flamethrower) from MMSP

Once the update comes, what will we have to do to make sure our wads work with the new version?

I do know that the WCOLOURS has been completely re-arranged, and now it's named differently.
Also, the code to handle charging weapons has been changed a bit. (The only thing I now that is affected by this is one Best Maps Ever map, so yeah)
Not to mention the possible renaming of certain textures in custom maps (I already found 2 custom maps that conflict with V4 maps)
Because of the addition of a bunch of new ones. Heck, there could be some SFX that conflict with texture/map names!
And a couple core textures appear to be renamed/moved about, so there may be a few missing textures in a few maps.

Other than those things, they should be fine. I should know, as I had been loading the same set of WADs 'n' stuff with v4 testing as I did with v3, and they all work just as well with v4 as they did with v3, with the exceptions of the few things listed above.

Although none of those WADs contained weapons, with the exception of Bonus Soda, so who knows?

So the cat is out of the bag now. I really hope you guys will enjoy the songs that were made for this expansion, I'm pretty confident they're top notch. I've worked with the people responsible for the new v4 songs, and in my opinion, you guys are in for a treat.

And yeah, I tried making sound effects as well (you may have heard at least 2 that I've made, some of the earlier ones were pretty accurate themselves). Curse Lightning Bolt, seriously.

v3 had a vastly better trailer.

[Dr. Freeman]

I guess I'll spoiler if you haven't seen it.

Totally called something outside of &Bass in there. Though I blanked on Wily Wars and for some reason was thinking something small with the GB Wily stages to go with the Killers. Oh well.

So pumped for the Bright Man rework, the Fire Man rework is cool but it didn't seem like a map that needed a full revamp, maybe a few things but not a full reconstruction. Oh well, it still looks neato so it's not a big deal.
