It could be a downloadable game for all systems like megaman 9 was. Or it could be that battle network rubbish since a new one is already out in japan.

With the exception of the ZX games, Megaman has overall become quite craptastic in the last decade or so. The Legends games were so-so and the Battle Network games just plain suck. I think it's mostly because they took the gameplay that made Megaman games so amazingly fun and popular and threw it in a dumpster. When it comes to the next Megaman game... gameplay is my number one concern. Megaman 9 and the ZX games are proof to me that Capcom can still make Megaman titles I will enjoy playing. I know they can make great titles if they really want to. |
Megaman 9 was rehashed crap, its not even that fun, its so transparently slapped together, all they did was recycle levels and sprites from previous games.
Also, Megaman Z was awesome in addition to ZX (though Z4 was lacking).
Megaman Legends were mediocre but the fact we got gimped versions didn't help. It's just insult to injury.
The Battlenetwork crap sucks. Don't turn Megaman into Pokemon/Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh.
Megaman X has been a lost cause ever since it left the SNES. No single Megaman series has been so ruined by localizing risk management.
Don't expect anything else out of ZX, for some reason Capcom seems to have no ambition to continue it. Also, if a lazy hack job like Megaman 9 is your ideal of quality, then by all means open wide for the rehashed virtual content revolution coming our way.
Now that Capcom knows low investment, low risk crap like Megaman 9 can sell, what incentive do they have to actually try for anything more than that?

You're insane and your opinion no longer matters in this discussion. It's become quite clear that somewhere along the line you lost your sanity when it comes to this franchise and devolved into a MM troll.
You want this franchise to die? Just stop playing it and don't acknowledge any future releases. It would me one of the least absurd things to have come from you based on this thread alone.

Eh, I'm not going to argue over MM9. Some will like it, some won't. YMMV.
The <bolded statement> is one that we're seeing the effects of on titles across the board and not just Capcom. Of course, it doesn't mean much to scream to developers to pull their collective heads out of their rears and make high quality games for the Wii when they're too busy counting money from cheap cashins and spinoffs...
Still, MM9 made a lot of people happy and shows that Capcom hasn't completely forgotten the origin of Megaman and what made it popular in the first place. Between that and ZX, I have some hope. More hope than I have for a good Sonic game at any rate.

that's fair. Hope is yours to have and you are entitled to that. But please don't mistake Capcom's "not completely forgetting the origin of Megaman" as being anything more significant than a company knowing how to cash-in on cheap nostalgia.
Sonic Games suck because Team Sonic admitted in a blog that they hate making Sonic Games but Sega won't let them do anything else.

I would thank someone of the opinion that Star Ocean 4 is anything worth anticipating given Square-Enix's progressive decline, Star Ocrean 3's questionable calibur and Tri-Ace's track record as an underperforming developer not to question my sensibilities in gaming. Not to be rude, but I'm just saying is all.
Please, ZX still have that cyber elf crap? the "walk through a freaking labirinth before even finding the door to the stages"? i hope not
And ZX came back to the 8 bosses selection? If yes, i'm going to get ZX right now

Again, the MM9 argument you can have with someone else. I don't feel like having the my opinion > your opinion kind of debates today.
As for the Sonic Team, I saw that article and the writer wasn't specified IIRC. It was pressumed to be someone working on the Sonic Team but not verified. Do you take everything you read on the internet to be true? The article is probably true, but it deserves a disclaimer.
And Sonic games... they suck because they suck. I keep hearing that a lot of people dislike what they do, but that doesn't make sloppiness excusable IMO.

The fact that you thought Enix employees were responsible for the recent FF games when Enix doesn't have development houses would lead me to believe that you wouldn't question anyone's sensibilities in gaming until you got your facts straight. Not to be rude, but I'm just saying is all. Talking about tri-Ace's (excellent) "track record" as a half-assed excuse to put down a game that isn't out yet is pretty bold considering that I'm not entirely convinced you even know what games tri-Ace have actually developed and released in the past few years.

Oh so what award winning multi-million selling games has Tri-Ace put out to give us faith that they can save a franchise like Star Ocean? If Square-Enix is more than 75% Enix, I find it hard to believe that this majority is only working on Enix Franchises. But even then, if what you're saying is true, that's even WORSE than what I was suggesting because that means even less talent is working on the Square Franchises. In fact, I'm half tempted to believe your claim because of the fact that all Square has been able to shovel out in the last five years that isn't FFXIII wheel spinning or outsourced to Tri-Ace is cheap remakes and spin-offs for the handhelds.
Now just cross your fingers in hopes that your beloved developer actually release the complete version of Star Ocean 4 in the West. Don't you just love Square-Enix.
