Capcom Europe: Mega Man Legends 3 canceled due to lack of Devroom participation

 
The Mega Man Legends 3 Project "Devroom," a forum where fans could vote on elements to be added to the game, always seemed like a stunt to drum up interest in the 3DS game. However, it appears to have been used as a gauge of existing interest ... and the numbers it presented were unsatisfactory.

Speaking on Capcom Europe's Twitter account, one representative said, "Unfortunately so few fans took part in the creation of the game. It was felt the project was not worthwhile." The rep later clarified that the disappointment didn't lie with fans as it appeared, but with the Devroom as a marketing tool.

For a fan perspective, Game Informer spoke to one of the most dedicated Mega Man fans anywhere, Brian "Protodude" Austrin, who runs the excellent Protodude's Rockman Corner. He explained his dedicated work in the Devroom, and then gave an indication of how even the most loyal Capcom fans are feeling right now.

"I really think that their trust bank has been shattered," he said. "This isn't the first thing that they've done, not just with Mega Man, this is the second Mega Man cancellation within four months," he says. "Then we have the other stuff like the Mercenaries 3D DRM, and it just keeps going and going, and they're establishing this track record."

Yeah. So. It's your fault for not joining Capcom forum.

Capcom is becoming synonymous with fail.....



Wow how freaking pathetic. Did they seriously cancel a game because not enough people joined a forum? I bet you most people have never even heard of that forum I know this is the first time I've ever heard of it and I play tons of Capcom games.



CAPCOM are a bunch of fuckin bastards to us Megaman Fans:

They said Megaman didnt make it in into UMvC3 because he didnt have enough votes... Megaman X was the highest voted character for DLC for the original more than strider demon crest .. but there in.

Megaman Universe cancelled

Megaman Legends 3 Canned based on not a active forum but it beat the DMC series forom i believe its the 8th largest forom,They broke deal... MML3 future was to be based on the prototype

Theve put ZX on hiatus even though it met the sales deadline of 100k

Star force canned

No MegamanX since 2005

Megaman 9 and 10 were half hearted( mot developer but company support ) we will most likely never see Megaman 11

Outrageous comments like westerners dont like Megaman or Megaman wasnt added initially to MvC3 because he doest have much to work with...Xxcuse me? of 100 moves Megaman under Megaman belt


They keep giving these weak ass answers for why they are ignoring Megaman ... but were not dumb. This is obviously a stab a Inafune.



Capcom lost A LOT of trust from me.

Best excuse ever.
"We are disappointed in you [Megaman fans] for not creating the game for us. You can go fuck yourselves."



And I didn't think it was possible for Capcom to fail even more...




This is so sad its funny.



The worst part of this is that this isn't the first time they or others have tried to blame fans. They should have the balls to be honest.

I'm done buying capcom games until they rectify this
