| deathcape said: I totally agree with everything he wrote.. if you guys would take your time and read it..you would all understand WHAT he means he never said the game would PHAIL what he's saying is..that it's not completely what he thought it would be: The new Megaman 3 as in...everything that was GOOD about MM put into it..and all the bad taken OUT of it.. what happend was that MM9 is like a sequel to MM3...same old gameplay..but...same generic bosses.. with a FEW new concepts..and the NEW concepts make the game fun..I dun wanna beat 1 fire boss each time I play MM...it gets repetetive.. create something new.. what he's trying to say..MM9 is not as disrupted as he wished it were |
The hardcore don't fear MM9 like Malstrom claims, they welcome it. If hardcore gamers were afraid they would have been terrified of XBLA instead of embracing it. Many hardcore gamers (and casuals) love classic games and classic gameplay but that in no way means that MM9 is going to change anything.
Going back to a game's roots simply wouldn't work with some genres, especially those that rely heavily on technology. Take the FPS, RTS, and sports genres for example. If EA were to strip Madden of all it's features or if Microsoft stripped Halo of everything that has been added to the series since it came out there would be a backlash. If Starcraft 2 ended up removing many of features of Starcraft 1 what would people expect to happen?
MM9 isn't disruptive, it won't change anything except maybe see a few more companies release nostalgia fueled games.
