Can’t they just do a metroid dread and revive the idea?
>>728946623The problem is no one wants to play Capcom games because they are a shitty company.
>>728946623it looks completely different in tone than the first 2
>>728946623Yes but that would take effort. What studio would you even trust to make it?
>>728946770The 1st and 2nd game also had different tones.
>>728946623You will get a port collection of 1 and 2 and that's it.
>>728946623They could do anythingwill they tho?the answer is always no.
>>728946623yes
>>728946623Dread had Samus returns first to get the studio ready to really try a revival so I actually would be pretty worried if they jumped straight to legends 3. I know retards on /v/ despise remakes but its honestly a great way to train up staff for what you really want
>>728948204>I know retards on /v/ despise remakes but its honestly a great way to train up staff for what you really wantA trained Indian is still an Indian
>>728948715Yeah yeah. Do your bit
>>728948715I wonder if you were cackling to yourself while thinking about how much of a 200IQ post this was as you were wiping the cheeto dust off your keyboard in preparation to type it
>>728948204>I know retards on /v/ despise remakes but its honestly a great way to train up staff for what you really wantThat's a nice concept and justification, it just rarely happens.
>>728946623why? you troons will never shut up anyways about how it's not the demo that barely anyone touchedand why would they even start when the projevt wasn't even in their plans until conman tried to take over?
>>728948715you, just look at yourself sanjeet
>>728948959I did chuckle at my own joke, and I am eating cheetos, but I don’t see how these things are related.
>>728946623I've been on the moon for longer than Metroid has even been 3dInjun was best girl.
>>728948204Samus returns wasn't made by retro.
>>728949387No... It was made by mercurysteam who then made dread.What's your point? Or are you misreading something
>>728949185beyond parody
>>728949549He's a tourist who didn't even know about Metroid until Prime 4 came out and he got involved with the console war shit flinging around that game.
Was it time travel?
>>728946623I doubt there's anyone left at Capcom that gives a shit about MML and the early prototypes were probably ass for them to outright cancel it.
>>728948204>I know retards on /v/ despise remakes but its honestly a great way to train up staff for what you really wantYou know I say this but even I acknowledge that Legends is the exact kind of title that people doing a remake wouldn't understand.
>>728949978No idea. I suppose Barrett was supposed to be the Protoman of the franchise. His RIDER KICK was gonna be a fun mechanic.
>>728946623I'm not sure there's anyone left at the company who had a hand in Legends 1 & 2? They'd need to bring back Ship Rice Boat for a private contractor role to work on it.
>>728946623at this point, I hope not. port the originals if you want, but making a sequel now is a total non starter for me, and should be for anyone being honest with themselves.
>>728950317The only way I would be interested is if they kept the aesthetic completely and only modernized the controls/ made the combat a bit more dynamic like we see in the 3 trailer
>>728946623They could, but they don't want to. They didn't want to do it in the first place. Inafune did and then he bailed.
>>728951092>The only way I would be interested is if they kept the aesthetic completelyThis, but it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
>>728950663>imageReally hate Tron's retarded receding hairline and stupid hair style. Shit character design that retards latched onto. Her only good design is her disguise one because her hair looks normal.
I think we already went down this rabbit hole 12+ years ago...
>>728946623The reason Capcom has no reason to give a shit about Legends is that series has THREE games to sell well and it failed. It managed to fail on the PS1 a successful console with a large customer base. If you fail like that, your series deserves to be discontinued as its a failure.The only Mega Man sub series that Capcom pretends to care about are Classic because it's the most well known despite not being the strongest seller, Battle Network which is a strong contender for selling well on its own individual right, and finally X strictly because it has fan favorite characters like Zero. Mega Man Legends has no such luxury. It failed to sell and no one who isn't a Loser Masturbator cares about this series.
I'm curious what they'd do with the control scheme. They could add old-fashioned tank controls for shits and giggles, but the default "modern" controls have gotta be a mix between 3D platformer and 3rd person shooter. That could really make for interesting gameplay we've never seen since 3rd person shooters tend to be grounded with very little mobility.
>>728951331People are idiots. They keep asking about a new Mega Man Legends the same way they keep asking for a new Kid Icarus game with Sakurai as director. The difference is Kid Icarus Uprising had the decency to at least sell over a million units. No individual Mega Man Legends game has ever sold a million. Even Sony's weak selling platformers like Sly Cooper sold better than Mega Man Legends. Think about it...Three Mega Man Legend games none of which broke a million units.Three Sly Cooper games all of which sold a million unitsMega Man Legends is a failure brand. End of argument. Even Klonoa's first game sold better than the first Mega Man Legends.
>>728951545>but the default "modern" controls have gotta be a mix between 3D platformer and 3rd person shooter. That could really make for interesting gameplay we've never seen since 3rd person shooters tend to be grounded with very little mobility.What consoles do you have?
>>728946623Realistically no.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGCe_HpgH6c
>>728951859i'm having a difficult time thinking of a modern 3rd person shooter with a character who moves as fast and jumps as high as Volnutt. I guess Marvel Rivals! Can you think of any others?
>>728946623
>>728952128There isn't one, those kind of games died a long time ago. I always wish we got the sequel that let you dash-jump out of the skates
>>728952204queen and her support crew
>>728951951i hate how hate bad blood affects megaman, we're not getting a zero/zx followup because of their relationship with inti
>>728952128Splatoon
>>728952401Those games didn't sell great. For crying out loud even divisive games like Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories on the GBA sold better than the first Zero game.Executives look at the money, not the bad blood as you say. Think like a businessman. You want well selling brands. And four Zero game is good enough despite not selling grandly.
>>728952471now the real challenge is naming a single-player game like that.
>>728946623No one at Capcom champions this game. The reason we had so many Mega Man games in the 2000s and early 2010s is because Keiji Inafune championed said Series by becoming the most tenured member that worked on said series. He was able to position himself as the father of Mega Man from a marketing perspective. But his massive fallout with the company meant that there wasn't anyone championing for more Mega Man games.
>>728952586The games were made because Inafune wanted to keep the Mega Man brand alive. He used third party contractors for said games as a way to get budget approval from Capcom. You can make 2d Mega Man games on a budget but Mega Man Legends 3 would need a bigger budget that Capcom doesn't feel comfortable with. Honestly I feel that a remake of Mega Man Legends with modern graphics and modern Third Party Shooter controls could work but the Legends 3 project is dead. If said remake sells they could remake 2 and who knows do 3.
>Entire franchise people love hinges on one nigga working at a AAA companyWild, desu.
>>728946623People always wanted a new 2D Metroid.Fans did not care for Legends 3 and that's why Capcom cancelled it.
>>728952626Splatoon
>>728953338>a remake of Mega Man Legends with modern graphics could workThe people who were willing to pay for the games 30 years ago want the games to look exactly the way they did 30 years ago. They'd sell even fewer copies of a reboot than the original if they replaced the original art style. Porting the original 3 games is the only decision that makes an ounce of sense and they haven't tried to do that since the PS3, so Capcom must know something we don't and have absolutely zero confidence in the series.
Why is it so fucking hard? Every one but Galaxy Man filters me in either the stage or the boss
>>728954919which other megaman games have you played? I definitely think 9 and 10 are the most difficult classic megaman games, but you can do it if you've beaten the other games.
>>728955286>which other megaman games have you played?All of the classic games up to this point.
>>728955685I'm sure you're frustrated at the increased difficulty, but keep at it. you know what to do.
>>728954919Does Jewel Man seem a little...you know...?
>>728954843>The people who were willing to pay for the games 30 years ago want the games to look exactly the way they did 30 years ago. Wrong, we just want the artstyle. If it's the same artstyle and design direction, it would be fine even if it were made in Unity.
>You can't care about something unless it sold X Y and Z (I will change X Y and Z to suit my argument depending on the thread, the people in it, and how much engagement I get) Why is he like this?
>>728957538Genuinely it's because some people are too stupid to understand fun. They only understand games as it relates as a business prospect, but they don't play them and they post here exclusively for the purposes of treating them as a vector for arguing about shareholder dynamics and not the games themselves as entertainment. This is why he comes to all these threads and makes the same "WHY DIDN'T IT SELL AS MUCH AS GAYLO" walls of text posts.
>>728954919Go with Splash Woman, she isn't hard and her weapon is spiritually like a charge shot in 9, so useful everywhere else.
>>728952128Lost Planet, if you look at Lost Planet's team, you'll see a TON of the old Legends art/support team on it. Lost Planet is the game they would have made if they had an AAA budget.I say Lost Planet 1 and maybe 2, after that it fell into the bloated budget problem that's killing Monster Hunter right now.
>>7289466233DS was the last time a big studio could put out a full fledged 3D action game on a shoestring budget. If Legends 3 was made today it would cost too much relatively to its niche target audience.
>>728951476>some mentally ill cope about it not selling wellKunitsu-gami is one of the best games Capcom has sold the last decade and it sold like shit. So shut the fuck up "muh sales" negroid.
>>728946623Yeah, because Dread did so much good for Metroid, right?
>>728958616It did. Prime 4 sucks but Prime 4 isn't the only Metroid game out there.

>>728952586>Think like a businessmanJapanese businessmen are petty as fuck and Capcom only got together with ex-Capcom employees (IntiCreates) because Inafune vouched for them after the ex-Capcom employees crawled to Inafune for a shot. And this was after they left Capcom because they didn't like how the work was being done.

>>728959080Dumb baitposter
>>728959027>>728952586Seriously, the "MUH SALES" brainlets always seem to forget the row Capcom went through just to spite Inafune. They even made MM11 because they heard about MN9, which was a decision that wasn't made according to any sales figures. They just wanted to rub it in Inafune's face that he never made the series great.
>>728959118Bait
>>728951697>>728951476>people are idiots (says the stupidest shit ever posted on /v/)I'm glad people like you who compare sales figures from games 30 years ago to series made 10 years ago or even today get to post and remind us of the average IQ of the window-lickers who hate this series on the basis of "It's cute". >>728952586Thinking like a businessmen would lead me to conclude that several Capcom projects from the 90s are sorely underrepresented. Seriously, it's been 30 years for most of these franchises. The games industry isn't the same now as it was back then, almost every game with any remote interest breaks a million sales, now. Legends is a franchise darling with a dedicated cult following that has pretty unique gameplay (I know you don't care about games for gameplay but LARP for a moment) and a unique artstyle with fun characters. Any executive with a brain would realize that there exists a market for a game that was a childhood favorite from 30 years ago, but those same executives are currently killing Monster Hunter so maybe you'd fit right in. >>728958996Extra packing material.

>>728946623I'm mad that Capcom literally got hacked and the hackers didn't get and release the demo. That was likely our only chance of ever getting it and they wasted it.

>>728948204Any modern attempt of remaking Legends would ruin the game completely, you just can't capture what's great about it again, I'll much rather have some small spinoff and then 3 instead of ruining the originals
>>728964110>Any modern attempt of remaking Legends would ruin the game completely, you just can't capture what's great about it againUnless you're the same director. This is why I defend Inafune; he saw the issues with RE4 and greenlight'd Dead Rising as response to it and that game was goated. Therefore>Legends' director was the main responsible for Dead RisingIf you squint you can treat the first game as a Legends spiritual successor of sorts.
I wouldn't trust modern capcom with a game like this
>>728948204It's not like Prime Remastered made Prime 4 any better
>>728966193It's very disheartening how they made Prime Remaster, one of the best remasters of any game series ever, and then followed it up with Prime 4. It makes me believe that the problems with Prime 4 are not Retro's fault and there was executive meddling which made the game untenable.
>>728966342We know a significant chunk of Prime 4's problems come from Tanabe.
The eternal debate: Tron, or Roll?
>>728970485both at the same jealously competing with each other
>>728963937>gun>classic roll>classic/x styled enemies
>>728946623Capcom cares about Mega Man but only enough to rehash the classic series. You need someone like Inafune to actually explore and expand the IP
>>728971698The enlightened path.
Maybe someday I'll have a successful game company that Capcom can contract Legends 3 with. And I'm aware I'll have to move out of the US.
>>728946623Name a single direct sequel to franchise that jumped consoles and was also good.

You and I may not like it. But inafune was always the Koijima keeping megaman alive.

>>728975156Well he sucks at his job then.
>>728946623That depends on how many higher ups still hate Inafune's guts.
>>728974418Jewish
>>728968582This
Whatever happened with that Red Ash knockoff series that Inafune had kickstarted?
>>728976703Nothing, Comcept is gone.
I really want to enjoy legends but the actual gameplay is mid at best. Why is it so hard to just make a third person shooter with MM?
>>728976703Conman
>>728976872Shame, I kinda wanted to see more of notTiesel.
>>728959520Legends was always regarded as a commercial failure. It's pretty much the Darkstalkers from Megaman, lots of people enjoy it from the side but almost no one plays it. Legends 1 was one of the most voted Megaman in that Capcom poll but it never sold well, comparatively it couldn't reach the same highs as X4 and X5 which were released in the same year as both Legends games and performed much better. In fact, these two games still perform relatively well today considering X Legacy Collection sold an combined total of 2.7 million copies. I don't think if a Legends Collection were to be released today it would breach 1 million copies sold, Zero/ZX gets talked a lot and still haven't reached there. There's no hope for Capcom to greenlight Legends 3, the interest simply isn't there.>>728976703*raughs*I honestly dig that project way more than Mn9, trying to make it multimedia kinda pisses me off though.
Your Queen of /v/.
>>728978657Her clothes don't work like that
If you wanted a chance to revive the series I think you'd have to remake the first two games.But that's a monkey paw I don't want to see curl with modern crapcom.
I can't see Legends 3 working well in modern day without overhauling the controls. Which might ruin the charm of the games.
>>728947491Real talk, not even that
>>728980598Like Capcom of all publishers gives a fraction of a fuck about ruining the charm of a game by modernizing the controls.
>megaman fags have literally 40+ games>one of the biggest crybabies of any fandom ever made of all time
>>728948204Retro made Prime Remastered to train staff and Prime 4 was an abomination
>>728952626raiders.and all the games have single player campaigns you goal post moving nigger
>>728981014no one likes having their favorite franchise end, who woulda thunk
>>728982132Prime 4 was ruined by Tanabe's autism
>>728985540I thought it was the marvel quip-loving writers who ruined other games in the west
>>728985597The focus on Sylux, the feddies, the desert, and the boring scan logs were all Tanabe
>>728985674Sylux is cool. If anything the focus should have been even more on him
>>728964759Me neither. But...the possibility of Tron returning and still having her OG design (because changing it is suicide) and thus causing eternal seethe from trannies and liberals/conservatives because of Japanese sensibilities would be kino of the highest order but also MML has a cool world, cool robots, a unique 3-D running and gunning system, and comfy levels. The only problem is finding the right artists and VA's that instill the same comfiness that the games had. Wish there was some sort of 4kids type studio that just had great VAs lying around. I know people will hate me for this but even if anons hate MHA and FF7 Remake, I think the voice actors were pretty memorable and if they can find unique voices like those for MML 3 that might be kino. Ignore the stories of what I said and just consider voice acting and how they fit the characters as they were outlined and written. That is what I mean.
>>728975223How is that my problem?
>>728946623Unfortunately I find it very difficult to ever be made considering how modern Capcom is.I don't even want them to do it, to be honest. They're a shitty company, they'd probably just make a shitty game, too, and Legends deserves more.>>728946690Finally someone says it, I've been saying this shit since forever. Capcom was good up until around like the late 2000's or so, but ever since then it just sucks.
>>728946623The demo's gotta get leaked eventually, right?
>>728946690Are they shitty? Open to interpretation.Are they hugely successful? By most definitions of the word.
>>728975372Pretty much all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some blacklist with him on it.
>>728951697>Mega Man Legends is a failure brand>2 90's games made in a 3 year span a lifetime ago right in the heart of the greatest games in the Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda etc seriesYou can't even say they tried.
>>728985540I doubt it was Tanabe's fault that the areas are all linear as shit and the final area has zero gameplay and a piss easy final boss
Crapcom only cares about shoving more blacks pajeets and trannies into monster hunter and resident evil
>>728946623No, because no one at Capcom but scamifune wanted to make it, he announced when they jad zero plans to make it and they took tge first chance they could to cancel it
>>728970485Tron Fuckin Bonne
>>728946623when's the megaman timelines legends comic coming out?
>>728992813Next month like the ZX one. Couple days after that the next X comic releases.
>>728946623All I know for sure is the day it gets officially revived I'm opening the good bottle of whiskey I've been saving for a while now
>>728993530Guess that bottle's staying unopened forever then.
>>728970485Roll, no question. Legends Roll has always been absolute perfection. and people are gonna hate me for saying this but Tron has stupid hair
No matter what happens Roll will always be part of it.
>>728966193>>728982132>>728985540Go back to your containment thread, acpedo
>>728993735There must always be a RollIt is a vital...role.
>>728994262Roll doesn't really do much. Classic anyway.
>>728971698This guy gets it.
>>728994262The world only has room for one Rock, and one Roll.
>>728994029I never said I didn't like Dread, faggot
>>728994359Her role isn't active but her existence is an important story element. Being Rock's cute sister that worries about him when he goes out to fight is a vital role. It speaks to the protagonist's motivation and makes him more sympathetic to the audience. Having a family back home makes his choice to fight more personal than simply fighting for peace. It's like saying Princess Toadstool doesn't matter in Super Mario Bros because she doesn't sell you power ups or something. Cute girl that relies on you is basic primal shit that everyone can instantly wrap their head around, unless they're a sociopath or a fudge packing faggot.
>>728946623I will never stop seething. Goddamn you, Capcom.
>>728975223it's gonna be a wilds situation where the game sells well at first then nosedives into obscurity a month later
>>728950125The demo looked pretty good though
>>728946623idk, I'm gonna be honest, the concept for legends 3 didn't seem interesting at all, but then again, I don't really see the point of a Legends 3 at this point where the hardware has shifted so much since the PS1 and no one at capcom would be able to capture any of the soul of the first 2what I want is Tron's Misandventures 2
>>728999462That's every RE game since 4. Luckily it's a singleplayer experience
>>728963937I love when the minimap doesn't represent the actual map at all
