*kills the Mega Man franchise*

>>717351031 (OP)
pretty sure 90% of MM fans only care about X

It was a failed necromancy spell. Homie was dead prior.

>>717351031 (OP)
it is the best selling Mega Man title.

>>717351031 (OP)
none of you care about megaman besides legends.

>>717351031 (OP)
>best selling game
>kill the series
huh? vote with your wallet bros?, what the hell happened here?

I prefer sprites

Sales mean nothing if we haven't gotten a new game in seven (7) years with absolutely nothing on the horizon.

I'm fine with the franchise being dead from an official standpoint because there are still a handful of bitchin' fangames to look forward to. I WILL play Corrupted before I die.

>>717351031 (OP)
Mega Man is too soulslike. They need to innovate.

>>717351787
It's not that Megaman did bad, it's that Monster Hunter and Resident Evil do much better.

>>717351787
>he thinks sales matter
It's a disgrace of a game

>>717351950
I thought zoomers liked rollslop

>>717351787
Why spend $500,000 to make $2,000,000 when you can spend $500,000 to make $10,000,000?

That's why Mega Man is dead. You throw the words Street Fighter, Resident Evil or Monster Hunter on something and it sells 10 million copies in the blink of an eye. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Dragon's Dogma, Dino Crisis, ect are all either dead or on life support for the same reason.

The game doesn't just need to not flop, it needs to make enough money to compete with just having that team make yet another Monster Hunter DLC pack.

Faggots hating everything not 8bit killed it

>>717353623
MM7 and 8 are both great games and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

>>717351031 (OP)
Posted the wrong image OP, let me help you out there.

>>717352492
dude they most definitely didn't spend 500,000 usd on megaman11

>>717353730
It would have died a lot sooner than it did if not for him

>>717351521
This is me, for sure.

what the le fuck do you mean we don't have to waste trillions on a live service game????!?! NOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO THESEW GAMES ARE NOT VIABLE ANYMORE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IGN IS NOT DYING

>>717351031 (OP)
the mega man formula is still great but i think it's a case of it "not meeting the expectations of the modern audience" or whatever. they're relatively punishing games that don't hold your hand and have memorization heavy proto-souls bosses...there's no way to make megaman less niche without it not being megaman anymore.
they should let inti creates take another stab at it if they manage to stay afloat, the zero games are my favorite after x2 and x4

What's stopping Capcom contacting inti creates for a new mega man title? It's obvious they are competent enough for this and it won't take much cash to do

>>717354637
*headcanon about the industry*

>>717354637
I don't think they're on good terms, but I also doubt there's any desire for it on Capcom's part anyway.

>>717354637
What's stopping Capcom from just putting out low budget titles themselves and turning a steady profit alongside their big gamble AAA titles?

>>717354704
I like to call it a deep insight from a video game veteran...

the dogshit sound was fine
the horrendous modern effects are great
the gameplay not evolving at all is great
barely looking any better despite requiring 10x the power is great
extra content? what are you autistic?

stop being autistic

>>717351787
No one knows. Capcom simply has too many great IPs with only a couple of them actually making them the big bucks. Why bother making a new Mega Man game, or a new Ace Attorney game, or a new Devil May Cry game when they can just shit out another Monster Hunter or Resident Evil and see guaranteed success?

We need a Starforce Continuation

>>717355303
>the gameplay not evolving at all is great
Correct.

>>717355336
And how's that working for Wilds?

>>717355573
Honestly, I wasn't even aware of the state of Wilds until just now as I do not follow Monster Hunter because I don't really give a shit about it. Nice to see it's flailing a bit I guess. I doubt this will be any sort of wake up call for anything more than just them needing to change something for Monster Hunter though. It's not like they're gonna suddenly pivot from a series that has been giving them unprecedented success for the past 10 years.

>>717353730
What's wrong with Mega Man V (GB)?

>>717355573
It sold 10 million copies, they're laughing all the way to the bank. It's post-release reception might end up damaging the brand in the long term but that's a problem for future Capcom.

>buy for xbox
>analogue controls too twitchy
>d-pad too small and shit

>>717351521
2 and X are the only good ones

ok

The entire Mega Man fanbase desperately needs to stop cocksucking Inti Creates. They haven't made a good game in well over 15 years –no, their endless cavalcade of soulless pixelshit Mega Man clones are not good – and every single poor decision made in 10 and 11 lays on their shoulders. They've demonstrated again and again that their "love for Mega Man" is nothing more than marketing talk, and that when actually placed in a position to design these games are completely unenthused. Capcom should be making Mega Man in-house or not at all.

The Zero series ended a fifth of a century ago. Get over it.

>>717356829
That's after word of mouth got out about how bad it actually is

>>717357149
>and every single poor decision made in 10 and 11 lays on their shoulders.
You meant to say 9 and 10 here, right?

>>717357149
>Inti Creates
>They haven't made a good game in well over 15 years
Damn, and I really liked Blaster Master Zero 1, 2, and 3.

Capcom's AAA model is starting to crumble, the last MH was just the first of many failures. Soon enough they will have to crawl back to Mega Man.

>>717357149
Luminous Avenger only came out 6 years ago.

>>717357149
>and every single poor decision made in 10 and 11 lays on their shoulders.
Let's not pretend 9 wasn't also shit

>>717357913
>Let's pretend the third best classic game is bad

>>717358223
>9
>classic
nope

>>717351031 (OP)
Mega Dead

>>717358514
Pretending to be retarded isn't pretending.

>>717351521
i actually care about legends and ZX
both didn't got their satisfying endings they deserved

>>717358978
>having a different opinion = pretending to be retarded

ok, still not considering a wii store download game as a classic mega man

>>717351031 (OP)
>con man created an office bias against it leading to a drought
>there is a clear financial incentive in Capcom now big 3 of MH, RE and SF
> because there is a huge absence due to the gap of potential new fans, not once but twice
>because of cucks like egorapter there’s a mindset that X is the go to of the Megaman series when it’s kinda overrated when you look at the series as a whole
>new gen Megaman fans think the big three of megaman is Classic, X and legends and not battle network

Most based statements in this thread

At this point they should make a Capcom Astro Boy game like they originally wanted for the first game. I'd want it not because it'd be cool or anything, but it would cause the Mega Man fanbase to seethe and melt like the opening of the Lost Ark.

>>717357149
They made Curse of the Moon, Curse of the Moon 2, Blaster Master Zero, Blaster Master Zero 2, Blaster Master Zero 3, Gunvolt 2, Gunvolt 3 and Luminous Avenger iX. I'm not going to say all those games are perfect or that every game they release is good, but they're not just riding on MMZ's coattails either.

>>717356829
>despite them stating that sales were soft
that comment was not about the total number of sales but recent sales
