any decade now

Never also X8 is a fine ending for the series
Axl died of aids the end

Instead of X9 they should make a new series that takes place between X and Zero
Since by the time of X8 copyrobots would make everything different from before
They could take the series all the way to the elf wars

>>717984759
fine. X0 then

This will be megaman graphics in 2016

>>717984836
I'd just prefer a continuation of Maverick Hunter X, really. Would be a nice opportunity to unfuck some of the plot contrivances that plagued the series during the PS1 era, and more animated cutscenes would be kino.

modern MegaMan in Re-engine
lmao

>>717985297
There is a 0% chance of that, MH is a failed product they would never try again

>>717985297
Agreed, but they wouldn't be able to release them 1 at a time.

Releasing a maverick hunter saga with highlights of X2 through X8 would be kino

>>717983316 (OP)
Nah, we need a NEW spin off

>>717983316 (OP)
>series with 8 games that only has 2 good games
why do you even want it

>>717988192
5 of them are good.

>>717985297
Yeah, MHX was a good idea conceptually but they were honestly fucked from the outset because if they wanted to remake the series from scratch they HAD to start from X1 which is the only game in the franchise that doesn't need it whatsoever. So MHX1 just comes off as superfluous and dooms the rest right out of the gate.
Like >>717985494 said, it probably should've been Maverick Hunter X Chronicles with X1-3 or something to start but this was also the PSP two fucking decades ago, that was never going to happen.

>Series of 8 games with only 1(one) objectively bad game
Yeah, I want more of that

>>717985297
MHX was the reason X9 was not made and it bombed.

Does anyone genuinely think Mega Man will escape the collection/collab hell that he's been in for the past decade? Capcom may say the series is important but they clearly have Zero interest in doing anything actually new with the series.

>>717988950
you'd think they could at least make some megaman games with a smaller budget or something but they don't bother at all

>>717984836
wasn't that the original plan for what then became the ZX games but capcom shut it down? I think I remember reading that on an interview but not sure if I'm remembering right

If X9 ever happens, do you think the Japanese intro would be worldwide, or would they continue to have vocals only in JP and everywhere else just gets a new instrumental track?

>>717984836
>Instead of X9 they should make a new series that takes place between X and Zero
No more spin offs. Especially one for a dead end like Zero.

>>717983316 (OP)
megaman X can honestly only succeed if they return to hand drawn sprites and similar era music. There has been some nice attempts over the years, but it's the only way to truly save the series.

Megaman Zero and ZX kinda proved that point to me, it is the ONLY way. I hope they listen, but I'm not hopeful.

>>717989097
Nah they don't give a single fuck. If they did they'd just outsource more inti sloppa.

>>717989336
Zero and ZX did the worst collectively in the entire series though

>>717989231
X is also a dead end

>>717989418
Really? I thought Zero was a huge success, but I will admit that I'm personally biased. I wasn't surprised ZX didn't do better, but I guess I've never heard anything but praise for both series here.

Maybe it's just dead, I don't know. Megaman X is genuinely one of my favorite games. I think it's a masterpiece. It's such a beautiful collection of things going right.
>tight controls
>great artstyle with excellent spritework
>some of the best music period
It kinda bums me out that the series never really found its footing. Megaman Zero was really peak, shame that it wasn't a success if that's truly the case. I figured they made four of them so it had to have done somewhat well

>>717984836
Fuck filling in the gaps, we already know everything important that happens. If you're going to do a spin off, make it fully alt universe.

You know it's a real travesty we never got a second one of these

>>717989503
X ended on a literal cliff hanger.

>>717989656
Mega Man genuinely had a problem of there being way too many games being made and people getting overwhelmed. Instead of just slowing down the output and increasing quality they overcorrected and stopped making any and kinds of Mega Man games.

>>717989656
Nope. Even the collections did pretty roughly. The highest selling Megaman games are typically X or BN.

>>717989823
it leads to zero all the same

>>717989656
Zero did okay during it's day but lived in the shadow of Battle Network.
The Zero/ZX Legacy Collection though, that thing bombed worse than X Legacy Collection 2.

I fucking hate Capcom. They refuse to do anything with the MegaMan IP and it really pisses me off.

>>717989972
It doesn't. Zero is its own timeline.

Pitch a new spin off

>>717990017
It's not even just Megaman, they have an incredible library, but if your name ain't Resident Evil or Monster Hunter, or Street Fighter 60 Gorillion, they will never care.

If it's not ZX 3 then I don't want it

>>717990027
Wrong

>>717989707
it was a miracle it even happened, I'm pretty sure the only reason it exists was to keep the breath of fire guys occupied when they had no clue what to give them and nothing else
I wonder what happened to that team afterwards, probably assimilated into the monster hunter mines or so

>>717990017
they landed on the AAA factory business and they'll never go back, every game must have years of lifespan, seasonal passes, scheduled DLC, etc.
even devil may cry doesn't get any attention, they just refuse to work on games with smaller dev cycles I guess

>>717991450
Correct.

Megaman is an abandoned project and a wasted character.

Megaman fans have got no reason to complain so much.
Constant crying that the series is dead but there's like 50 games, nigga go play them and be happy you got that much.

>>717983316 (OP)
was actually genuinely flabbergasted and curious as to why inti/capcom didnt make retro X-games like Megaman 9 and 10

>>717994310
Because the only reason they made 9 and 10 in the first place was because of Inticreates and they made them 8 bit because their typical sprite work is pretty lacking as it is.

>>717983316 (OP)
I want feature bloat out the ASS. Make X5 and 6 look like childs play. I want a textbook of stupid features. I wAnt buster durability, Alia horniness meter, 6 different currency systems, time of day events, a fishing minigame, more, MORE MORE

>>717994310
Inticreates fucked up doing co-op for megaman 10 so capcom didnt want to work with them anymore.

>>717988861
The PSP/Vita was dead in the west what did they expect.

>>717983316 (OP)
The series is dead to me. Only fangames fill the void. Corrupted will either bring back Megaman X into the spotlight or crash it against the rocks, there is no middle ground.

I'm baffled you guys still have hope for more Mega Man games. The last game we got, outside of gacha shit, was 2018 and before that was like 2011. Despite being one of the best selling MM games of all time, MM11 still wasn't enough to light a fire under Capcom's ass. They don't even consider Mega Man a relevant IP to their company anymore, it's all Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, etc. It's time to let go.

>>717996639
Its only been almost 7 years. We had to wait 8 between MM10 and MM11.
But seriously though, I don't think Capcom is just gonna ignore it forever, the fact that they mention Megaman at all and say they still value him does mean something, and BN collection actually shocked them with how well it sold and they stated that they would take BN's success into consideration on how to handle Megaman moving forward.
We will see a new game, who knows what ot will be, it could be a new series altogether and not a sequel to any of the current series, only time will tell.
I still wish we could have known what the hell that big budget Rockman Taisen game was about, but its gotta be cancelled at this point.

Megaman fans didnt buy new Megaman games they let flop the gacha too, megaman dont sell anymore

battle network killed this series

Megaman fags are some of the most pathetic "fans". It's dead, buried and most importantly irrelevant. Yet they keep coping any more than any other fagbase out there. I wonder what causes that.

>>717988609
I think MHX's only real sin was coming out for the PSP instead of the DS, larger market penetration on the latter. Same for Powered Up. DS had a conspicuous lack of traditional Mega Man games (ZX is a continuation of Zero and is the only Mega Man fare on the DS) and while hindsight is 20/20 they really didn't need the PSP's beefier specs to make Powered Up or MHX

>>717999963
Because it’s a wasted of ip, the concept is cool but suffer the same like other Japanese series go 3d it became absolutely dogshit

>>717983316 (OP)
>any decade now

>>717990115
Far future, Elysium has crashed, give it Porco Rosso vibes, make the Rock of this era a treasure hunter for a specifically sleazy guy who doesn't gel with Rock. Slight Monster Hunter gameloop of hunting down giant robots and working your way deeper into the single giant ruin. wait I'm just basically describing a Legends 3

>>717999963
>Stop liking [thing]
kys

>>718000324
Within the next two years trust the plan.

>>717984836
Nope, make a sequel to Mega Man 11, call it Mega Man and Bass 2. Have it take place directly after Bass' ending in Power Fighters, then jump to a month later or whatever. We get to see the conversation between Wily and Zero from X4, only Bass is also there. Bass doesn't want Zero to be the one who defeats Mega Man, fights Zero, and loses. Wily, with Zero's assistance, creates 8 Robot Masters. Mega Man and Bass are forced to join forces to defeat Zero. Wily installed the Power and Speed Gears on Bass, but he uses them in a unique way.

>>718000439
I'm expecting the owner to go "Na, I can do better" and start from scratch again any day now.

The real reason is that this was Inafune project until X5 and after the deminishing sales no one in Capcom wanted to do a new X game.

Anons, hear me out.
Command Mission 2

>>718000589
Capcom simply has the same brain poison every other company that's too western does where they think small projects literally should not happen and only mega-successes with enormous budgets "count"

Monster Hunter Wilds not doing very well is a pretty big slap in the face right now, it's selling about as well as Monster Hunter Rise

Spider spelled backwards is Redips.

>>718000676
True. It happens in movies too where they put all their eggs in a basket. Instead of investing 100 Million in 5 games they put those 100 Million into one.

>>718000581
I think the other staffers he has now would fucking kill him if he did that

Nearly every Megaman X game is bad.

>>718000120
I don't disagree. Using the DS as a launching point definitely would've been better in the long haul, but I can see the reason for it. You release the Zero games on GBA and everybody, and I do mean everybody, bitches about screen crunch and that the levels suffer for it. So you leave Inti to deal with the DS's slight upgrade to 4:3 hoping they'll learn their lesson (which they mostly do) and you focus on the new PSP with their 16:9 for the rest of your games that you're more confident in.
I completely understand where they're coming from, choosing the PSP. And like you said, hindsight is 20/20, but the DS probably would've been the better play.

>>718000834
His game, he can do what he wants.

>>718000805
This is going to get exponentially worse after the new GTA game isn't it?

>>717984925
that's just regular mega man

>>717989336
Trvth nvke. Look at that X:Corruption project. Release date memes aside, it’s proof of what you’re talking about. Everyone wants it.

>>717992018
Apparently inafune tried to squash it, but one of the higher ups loved the pitch so much they green lit it anyway.

>>717999463
Hyper truth nvke. They sold great but destroyed the idea of what Mega Man even is for a generation. Textbook example of “profits now, let it be someone else’s problem later”. They were also spammed worse than the NES/X games. Really should have been its own IP or not existed at all.

>>718001154
The GTA game is gonna be the lynchpin that brings it all tumbling so hard nobody can put their head in the sand on it, mass layoffs and cancellations show a AAA crash is already in progress. Insomniac was already bitching at Playstation about the fucking enormity of Spider-Man 2's budget and having NO idea where 75% of the money for it went (most likely in an executive's pocket) because there is no amount of developer work that will ever make a game "look" like it had hundreds of millions of dollars poured into it, there is no story that will be "AAA budget", there is no gameplay that will be "AAA budget" (the sheer budget involved means you need to make it as bland and safe as possible to get enough sales to break even, let alone profit)

Executives became fucking obsessed with putting out the video game equivalent of inoffensive but not catchy or good job-training-video music under the belief that Lots Of Money in = Even More Lots Of Money out and the AAA crash is these LinkedIn retards being so sheltered that when it doesn't work that way they just force the issue and send their company hurtling into the fucking pavement

>>718001050
Well gee anon what games DO you like

>>717984759
Yes roboaids. The leading cause in reploid deaths ever since the sigma virus was cured

>>718002612
Sigma balls

>>718001662
I'm not sure about that anon. I've seen tons of retards who gleefully brag they'll buy it on day one regardless of price.

>>718003676
Now how many of those were real people?
