Rockman Xover

[Myroc]

Pretty sure over 100,000 people is enough support and profit to carry on making the game and please a lot of people.

Sadly, no. It isn't. The Mega Man Fandom may be numerous, but we are too niche to generate a decent profit compared to the games they could be making. It doesn't matter how much money we'd be willing to throw at them for Legends 3, it's nothing compared to the much, much larger amount of people who are throwing their own money at them for games like Dragon's Dogma or Dead Island. We just aren't profitable enough for them to divert their resources towards us. Instead, we get minor games like this, because they don't have to do any significant resource investment for these kinds of games.

Apparently not even the Japanese fans are looking foward to it. I predict that the game could end up cancelled or scrapped, because apparently one of the possible reasons Mega Man Universe was ditched besides the earthquake was because lots of people were complaining about the art style being used.

Still, nice job on the article's artwork, Press Start.

Thanks dude!

I still feel bad for ever complaining about Universe!

Exactly, 100 000 is nothing for a game sale anyways and i'm pretty sure; a lot of "like" are not from the buyers of Megaman Legend 3" but just...the megaman fan, as me....

Well then, this is great, to think I could have MegaMan Universe downloaded onto my PS3 by now, and have a 3DS with Legends, yet they decide to make a social RPG, I mean I know that MegaMan fans across the entire world wouldn't make them enough money.  But in my opinion, money isn't everything a gaming company should care about.  I mean, look at Valve, they took the time and money to create good games with good sequels, ie Half life.  That satisfy a gamer's wants and needs.  They make a lot of money, but they also allow the fans of their games to get involved in develpoment of the game, ie: Steam Workshop, Source Filmmaker. and have little shoutouts to the gaming community via internet memes.  ie: TF2 Meet the Team series, "Copyright LOLOLOL".  As well as letting gamer made games be available on Steam, as well as developing games while taking in fan input.

More info on Rockman Xover, involving extra notes and the name of the new Megaman! Is his name any good? There's a clue in that url.

There's also the problem that fans of one series aren't necessarily fans of the others, so a crossover might well end up appealing to nobody.  For example, if it's a side-stroller will the legends and BN/SF players care?  If it's an RPG-ish thing (which I actually suspect given the "level 5" in the corner) will any of the classic/X/zero/ZX fans care?

Oh hey this looks pretty cool.

Sweet avatar, bro!

Barely 20 seconds of gameplay footage

The rest is just flashy words and cool video effects and toying around with stock artwork

GOTY right here folks

[Ivory]

Barely 20 seconds of shoddy gameplay footage you mean. There is nothing good to be expecting from this attempt.

[JaxOf7]

That dislike bar.
And you can totally read "Rockman Over" from the title.

[Emmanuelf06]

Epic dislikes bar !

Darth Vader's light saber without the handle.

Though this is still terrible and not good for MM's 25th anniversary, they do seem really confident with this. If anything though, there are a lot of things that need fixing, such as that skip button.

The protagonist's design looks good, but "Over-1"? Wat?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA the video is unlisted and the comments are disabled. It's like Capcom knew what was going to happen.
