hervoheebo Posted July 19, 2011 We'd like to thank you for your ongoing loyal support of Mega Man Legends 3. Today, however, we must regrettably announce the discontinuation of this project. http://www.capcom-unity.com/devroom/blog/2011/07/18/a_message_from_capcom I've never played Mega Man, and I don't follow the series, but apparently this is kind of a big deal. So... fuck Capcom, discuss, et cetera. 0 Share this post Link to post

Second, Legends was never abused in terms of spinoffs and sequels like the main series was (the last game was released over 10 years ago). Crapcom really dropped the ball on this one, and for fucking what? Another RE game? 0 Share this post Link to post
Du Mhan Yhu Posted July 19, 2011 Sucks, I was kinda looking forward to this. Shame. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted July 19, 2011 I remember this being news a while ago. To be more specific, it was listed with some other projects that were dropped after the Japanese earthquakes in March. Not sure why it's a big deal now (maybe just a fake article that ended up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy). Less reason for me to ever get a 3DS, regardless. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted July 19, 2011 This was the only game I was really looking forward to on the 3DS. Should've seen it coming when Inafune left the company. 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted July 19, 2011 As a huge megaman nerd, this makes me ":(". But then again, I wasn't going to get a 3ds anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted July 19, 2011 I never liked any Megamans save for the 8-bit ones (which are some of the best games ever made), so I don't really give a fuck. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted July 19, 2011 The Legends series had next-to-nothing to do with the traditional Mega Man games, so you can't really compare them to the NES games. They were great games on their own, took more cues from Zelda than Mega Man really. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mega Man 9 and 10 have both come out within the last 3 years. Also I played the first Legends, it sucked. Wasn't even aware there was a second one, heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
hervoheebo Posted July 21, 2011 Capcom's going to be at Comic-Con, some people got to their booth early and had this to say: Comic-confag here. Went to capcom's booth last night. Security is really heavy this year everywhere and they're super strict, but it was insane at capcom. I heard someone just say megaman and they almost threw him out, and they stopped a tron cosplayer from coming anywhere near it. I saw that too! She was walking toward the booth with her friends. I was nearby and was like "Oh shit this'll be good" so I watched. Seth Killian looked at this rent-a-cop near him, pointed to her, and he went up to her with two other guys like "You can't be here dressed like that. Company wants you gone." They threatened to confiscate her badge. I couldn't believe it. Damage control much? At least on Youtube I've seen a pasta rallying con-goers to boo Capcom off the stage. Let's see what happens.... 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm glad that's just your opinion, man, because lots of us disagree. Covering it up with a "heh" doesn't make it all roses, either. CAPCOM is falling apart and it's a real shame. When your good people leave it's a bad sign. Reminds me of the stories about all the original alumni leaving Activision. 0 Share this post Link to post

lupinx-Kassman Posted July 21, 2011 The megaman and resident evil franchises were really the only games I cared about from Capcom. Resident evil has gone to shit these days, and I pretty much doubt good megaman games will be made anymore (if at all), so at this point I don't really mind what happens to them. They at least seem to still show love for the street fighter games, but I never was much into those for some reason. Jodwin said:I never liked any Megamans save for the 8-bit ones (which are some of the best games ever made), so I don't really give a fuck. Yeah I guess legends wasn't everyone's favorite, but a lot of people say they only liked the 8-bit megaman games. How you can not at least enjoy the SNES megaman X games is beyond me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Too big sprites (means there's less stuff on a screen at a time), don't like the cartoony art direction, don't like some of the new things you can do since they "clutter" the gameplay (Zero's sword, etc). Plus no more Wily. 0 Share this post Link to post

They have put out [b]many[b/] great games.. (Nothing as great as Doom of course) but then they have cancelled promising installments to there select (favored series) games. Owell, theres always this. http://digitalwork.altervista.org/digitalwork/index.php?page=mmxe 0 Share this post Link to post
