So there will be some sort of special stage event at TGS involving Starforce today or technically 9/28
He's literally me...

>>540588231People interested in Mega Man, huh? Well, probably some bizarre anomaly. So, how about we release a new Resident Evil?

>None of the assets created for the Sonic Racing DLC will ever appear in a proper Megaman game of any sort.I'm not advocating for endless asset recycling, but it's a tad annoying that they made all these new renders only for them to get wasted in a one off DLC and never used again.
>>540632154I honestly find them shit and don't know what people are smoking when they claim it looks exactly like MM8/late 90s Classic. Or how MM fans in Twitter are importing Sonic Model Discourse talking points.
>>540632154Eh, that's the nature of dlcs like that.
I was playing X Dive earlier and made this.

>>540644613Not with that attitude.
How does the main music work? I'd like to change it back to the Resistance music if possible because the X Dive original track for it sucks.
>>540645732The main music is defined based around the system date I believe. Maybe the topmost event also had effect on the title screen but I don't believe so.
>>540646034>The main music is defined based around the system date I believeWhat do you mean?
>>540637979Reminder karin assembled kernel as part of her reverse harem and also comforted iris when she made her brother and the other x reploids go berserk.you got cucked by a blonde ojo sama
>>540646191The game checks which day coincides with a event and automatically sets the event. It also changes the music playing and the background, if there's an unique background. For example, I think during October the main screen will be Halloween themed with Halloween music. You might check if setting an event with resistance music will change the title screen too but I don't think this is how it works. Or maybe it's, IDK. There's probably a mod for this stuff.
>>540646546These are two characters that I've never imagined together.
>>540646546>>540646809 they have the same seiyuu
>>540646546And I'll cuck her back.
>>540646553I don't think that's what I meant. The overall music on the main menu is the default X Dive track regardless of which event I set it to.
>>540647516At least she'll know how Sakura feels
Oh well, I give up on it.
>>540646546She looks like a human Pallette so it checks out knowing some of the images posted here in the past.

>>540648312>the "him" in question
Himega
I hate Omega for obvious reasons. I don't welcome him here.
>>540646546Sorry, still having sex with Colonel
>>540645732>Random pandora in the oil fields event with no dialogueI hated late-stage RXD events so much. I think this is when they actually incorporated the Trap Phantasm BGM into the fight, but it was just Solodora instead of the duo, so it just REEKS of lazy>we wanted to have prometheus here, but funding ran out, so just have a no dialogue low-effort no context event, but hey, it has their music!!!!
>>540652848You could say it was better than nothing.
>>540652848Yeah it's weird like she's not even irregular data or anything from a plot point, she's just kinda there. You didn't even get her memories from the event either.
>>540653150God, I remember her emphasizing electrical attacks in this fight, and this was after Taicom had already established the precedent for using small humanoid event bosses as Raid bosses (Copy-X, and Omega were used as Raid bosses by that point, iirc), so there was the NIGHTMARE scenario of Pandora getting in as a raid boss - staying in the air all the time, teleporting around, spamming immobilizing plasma bolts would have been horrible for damage contribution. Like, Omega was already bad enough - since ranbu would obliterate DPS - but at least he could be pizza-cutter'd in a corner... but an airborn enemy that teleports around? Just the prospect of it was terrifying to me>game EoS'd before this could happen.thank god, i did not want to deal with that shit
>>540652291>wifeThat's a boy.
>>540654234Nuh uh, I checked.
>>540646546so you're saying Iris is a dirty maverick?
>>540653938Why Ashe holding booba
>>540653938Thinking on it, this was around the time ZXA Aile got in, and shortly after DiVE Armor Zero was introduced; Taicom were in late-stage lazy inclusions-mode, and most releases were DiVE armor/OC/recycled assets, so I imagine this event was likely planned in advance (events aren't spontaneously developed after all) to be the inclusion of Prometheus, but they either didn't have the money, or the will to throw him together at that point>Instead, we just get ZXA Aile (Recycled assets), half a boss fight (recycled assets), in a random stage (recycled assets) with no story context, and ill-fitting music ('new' content) shoehorned into an inappropriate encounterThere's another whatever-event with Ferham, where she does her CMM thing, and I don't think she had any dialogue there, either. Taicom couldn't even bring themselves to write the lowest effort event dialogue, it's all just dumb filler.
>>540655076I think it started with the Gate event not having text or maybe the final summer event
>>540655643I fucking forgot about that one, yeah. Gate event was another one that was just complete filler. I think it came with scientist Tron, since I recall her being one of the bonus point units.
I never actually got this far in the game before it shut down. I think Leviathan and Magma Dragoon would probably get along since they're both battle autists that seek powerful foes.
>>540664462If I recall, Magma Dragoon is - story-wise - the first enemy to canonically suggest RiCO scan his data, and make him a hunter program, and she treats this like a novel concept as if it were the first time she thought about it... However, prior to this, there was a Christmas event with Bit, where he suggested the same thing, and he made his debut before Magma Dragoon.I might have some details wrong, but I distinctly remember something with these two, and their inclusions being weird. Like, it seems as if the Magma Dragoon story mission was written first, but due to scheduling mixups, and seasonals, Bit ended up being the first Hunter Program analyzed from boss data.
>>540667297No you're correct. I fought Bit before and he didn't mention that. Instead, he tells the player to beware of the inevitable foreshadowing at the end regarding the X Dive OCs.
>>540667681Maybe it was something like>Bit gets in @ Christmas 2020 -> Magma Dragoon says to scan his data in January 2021 -> Magma Dragoon gets in -> Bit (Because he was featured in so many fucking events) says to scan his data even though he had been in the game for a whileI'm pretty sure it wasn't a fever dream, and at some point he suggests it, but I'm not sure wwwwwwhen. Aside from Christmas Bit in the seasonal event (He was used twice), you also have both a shield-Bit, and a shieldless-Bit as bosses.
>>540669063Ah, yeah, here we go - 13-6, he suggests RiCO makes him a hunter program, and RiCO draws parallels to what Magma Dragoon said in his boss fight, despite Bit having been in the game since 2020> Bit: Hey RiCO... Such is the way of this world...and our paths may cross yet again...>I wonder if we will meet again as an Irregular Data or in some other shape or form? What do you think, RiCO? >RiCO: Huh...? Other form...!? Magma Dragoon said something similar too... >ViA: About coming back as Hunter Programs! That's what he said, right, RiCO!?
>>540670004All that being said, Bit was certainly a choice.
>>540673408Carried by memes - the thread exploded the night he Said The Thing
>>540677978That's such a weird thing to fixate on making a meme though. Like yeah, it's a dumb line but there are certainly dumber that go under the radar like everything in Megaman 8.
>>540678138NTA but that meme is semi-popular on the eastern side and since a good chunk of that gacha was catering to that sort of audience, they went there.
>>540679029>>540681154

>>540693082Eh close enough they're practically sisters

>>540695579There are just so many terrorist attacks on highways that a delivery company can support
>>540696014It all returns to Highway....
>>540655742The consensus is that the Gate event and Nana being the last pre existing character brought over was the beginning of the end. Wonder what happened that they delayed Prometheus and Oro S up until they got the EOS news.
>>540698208Nana being leaked a year in advance and some random mobage using Dynamo as part of a collab months before he got in prove that these things get planned ages in advance.Daibu made tons of money for Capcom's mobile games in 2020 and 2021 but it was scarcely mentioned in the 2022 fiscal report with TEPPEN taking over.I feel like that the game must have been losing favor sometime in early 2022 since almost everything after Nana was OC or an alt of a popular character. CAP_KOBUN talked on twitter about how the school event was going to have different characters for its alts at first but changed to Erato and Sigma for the sake of safety.I think the main thing is that Capcom Japan were pulling resources out of Capcom Taiwan because Daibu didn't do anything that would have made people quit.
>>540698208I only sensed the reaper of EoS @ ZXA Aile (2022/08/10) - she was such a lazy implementation, even if she had gotten spoiled like.. months in advance (Thanks, Nebula), but being followed by Bancho Sigma, and Eratoeir helped alleviate those fears, briefly.Bass Cross (2022/07/06) also reused a lot of attack assets, but he was cool, so I wasn't really worried about it, then. Spammable Vanishing World? SickGate got in on 2022/03/02, which feels way too early to start doomposting, and Nana is still 2022/05/04, where the feeling was more 'oh cool, they're still adding standard pool characters'Halloween Zero, and Halloween ViA (2022/10/26) are when I couldn't shake that feeling, because they were both so underwhelming - every one of Halloween Zero's attacks were just repurposed shit from other forms, but RED, and Halloween ViA had that awful pumpkin PNG attack, what the fuck is thatBass & Treble (2022-11-23) is the absolute fucking harbinger of the end; I knew death was coming, when I saw such a lazily thrown together character. Using Bass.exe assets in his attacks (What the FUCK) and Treble having like, 3 frames of animation when he was walking? I knew it was over. Who even asked for Bass & Treble? At a conceptual level, it feels unfathomably uninspired.>Bass, but dog projectileI can tolerate lazy events, but when the characters people are expected to drop money on started to drop in quality, I knew it was over. Don't get me wrong, there were some good ones after B&T, but the fact he was green lit, showed something was deeply wrong. So, late 2022 is when I couldn't shake that nagging feeling
>>540699660>sake of safetyAs in, more popular? Because I remember the Asian twitter account had Bancho Erato have a salt-filled monologue calling out prudes
>>540699814>Who even asked for Bass & Treble? Like Xmas Bit, both versions of Bass are hugely popular in Asia.
I hate that they never followed up on having Alia and Layer in yukatas and Pallette in a bridal dress for 2022/3 as they promised each other in their event.
>>540700948The Navigators didn't have enough on general, they were completely ignored during 2022.
>>540701310I honestly didn't care much for Daibu apart from updated art (even then, Mizuno is generic imho) but the OCs should have been spread out longer instead of rapid fire Angie and Erato. Felt like they robbed some alts too. Colonel getting a color swap in the last second despite all the differing internal story descriptions felt particularly like a rob. Halloween ViA was also completely unnecessary when something like Vampire Hunter Dynamo or Bat/Vampire Bass could feasibly exist. Characters that felt like must haves to me were also missing like Duo, Prometheus, Ashe, the other Guardians and at least one other Legends character like Glyde or Yuna/Sera. I suspect the lack of EXE is because they'd eventually overshadow everyone else
>>540700726Okay, I can conceptually grasp Bass' popularity, and I even think he's cool, but we already had classic bass, and super bass at that point, while B&T is just, a half-way point between those two states. I can't imagine anybody who actually wanted more Basstent was particularly happy with him.
>>540702057It'd be slightly forgiveable if it was like MM7 Super Bass or a alt version of Bass easily unlockable via memory awards in Jakob.Again, they should have given him actual alts. Them getting the exe actress to do his voice instead of reusing Hiyama also rubbed Asian Bass fans the wrong way, you even had fanart depicting 90s Bass vs Daibu Bass.
>>540702471We're talking the same game that reused a dead man's voice. DiVE devs weren't all there.
TGS is now over. They revealed some stuff during the stream they did some hours ago. SFLC will have autosave and multiple save files since people felt lack of that in BNLC. They the whole soundtrack is getting arranged and you can choose to play using the old tracks or the new ones (pretty much like the Complete Works ports for PS1 from my view). There'll be more acessibility options to be revealed in the future too aside what they've already shown.On other note, they've shown the part of the Taurus Fire dungeon.https://www.youtube.com/live/trzttUYQAEU?&t=1822
>>540702964>X prompt>"ECKU"
>>540702964You'd think they'd ever do OSS or at least just the Clockman bit? I wonder how they'll handle the slot 2 stuff too.
>>540703068>OSSWait for the Leftovers Legacy Collection, when we get Battle Chip Challenge, 4.5, 5ds, NT etc
>>540703068I think that ship already sailed, they decided to port the original version of BN1 with all its technicalities instead OSS. Which is a bit funny, considering they've mentioned having to remake some ports of the older games since they had incomplete code for them so maybe it could've been less work just porting OSS?. I'm guessing they're more liberal with changes on this new collection because they're going to have to change stuff regardless because the dual screen gimmick so they might add some more QoL options as well
>>540703491remake some parts of the ports*
>>540703225That's not happening.
>>540703225I still think they should've created a collection with all Gameboy games aka GB I - V and Xtreme 1/2
>>540695579What are you ordering now?
>>540706021Nothing Mega Man related, nothing expensive.However, if I wished to order a hypothetical Mega Man-related package (Like, one of those udon comics, or whatever), I would need to make sure it isn't being delivered by the usual service, because of this.
>>540704075You'd know they'd just include MM&B GBA in there too because they won't bother to port the translation to the SNES version.
>>540709847>implying they would even bother putting a SNES/GBA game in a GB collection
>>540711347They would just tout it as a general GB-GBA collection and maybeee throw in BCC if they don't feel sore about Inti on that particular day.
>>540711623That's like 9-10 games depending on BCC state
From helper robots to AI programs to whatever the fuck SF Megaman is supposed to be, a story about technology.
>>540712015I don't think they'll ever translate 4.5 especially for the Hell that'd be trying to adapt the Progress Link Gate. These games are all tiny filesize wise, at most the only new features I can see them adding is palette options and a soundtrack swap for &B. It'd be a cheap low effort collection.I can see NT and Command Mission as NSO releases if the demand is there, CM seems more likely though. The remaining Playstation games are unlikely to see a re-release for a plethora of reasons.
>>540712461>Megaman.EXE is AIOY, the watermark crew is not gonna be happy about this.
>>540712461Where's X?
>>540714168dead because Elpizo
>>540714168X was never considered the "main" branch of the franchise at any point during the time the series was active from the 90s to 2009. You could even make a case for Volnutt being the face during 1998-2000.
>>540714881it's been the main face since it started, why lie?
>>540714881That was just Inafune pushing what he wanted to shill upfront.
>>540714881>>540716751Classic was still the face even onto the late 90s. Legends was the new direction. X was dead.
>>540714881Xbros...
>>540714881I'd say X was but relatively brief compared to Classic/EXE, after all, you don't get to have the same game release in both the SNES and PS1 if there wasn't some real confidence on the sales, as well as there being some pushes for merchandising around that time. Then again, you could say that the very fact the Classic moniker is pretty much found only in non-asian countries that contradicts the idea.
>>540714168It's under the Classic/Robot label
>>540707386If that IS hypothetically the case then you're far more dedicated for your waifu than I to put aside mischaracterizations.
>>540718003I'd say 1994-1996 mainly.
Something that's happening and I don't recall seeing before is that SFLC seems to be internally referring to the first game as "Ryuusei no Rockman 1" or "Shooting Star Rock Man One". Was this something that always happened in the collections? I don't remember MMX being officially called X1 for example, it was more like a fan thing in my head.
>>540720530According to Masahiro Yasuma in one of the SF guidebooks, the games was internally known as "chapters", there were 5 chapters planned when SF1 began development, but it got cut down to 3 during SF2's development.
>>540714168He's Megaman X not Megaman
>>540724336Sparkman is always so goofy
>>540724412>Have double the power of Elec Man>Have a much weaker weapon and a generally easier fight
>>540721005>but it got cut down to 3 during SF2's development.Can't have been 3 if there was a 4th game. Maybe SF3 was the original SF4 and likewise for 4=5?
>>540725716Maybe they shortened some arcs or maybe the arcs aren't directly tied to game numbers but more central plot points?
>>540724535Spark Shock should've been one of the strongest damaging weapons if it made any sense
>>540730105They really wanted to prevent another Metal Blade/Thunder Beam. Which I don't really blame because these weapons are busted, but they went in such an opposite direction that I tend to have even less of a reason to use Spark Shock.

Looks like the Starforce collection at TGS has a lot of visual jank going on. Missing sprite movement, transformation effects freezing in place, other effects doing completely different things compared to their DS counterparts, graphical glitches showing in the borders during battles, etc.Now I get why they said 2026, but didn't give an specific release date

>>540848710Nice.
>>540834373I was already suspecting the game was still pretty early in development since they were avoiding showing Star Force 3 battle system in trailers or the PvP working, I think we might be about 9 months apart like how long it took between BNLC announcement and release. I was under impression that they joined TGS late because SFLC was missing from some Capcom promotions but who knows what goes on Capcom's head.
