Official Update Thread

[TechnoWolf]

 Happy new year.

Well, 2015 certainly did kick off weird in my place. But anyway, yes, next spring, we're gonna have some Mighty N°9... hourra... I'm not even waiting for it anymore.


EDIT :

I also got the (awesome) news that Azure Striker is taking time to come out in my place because they want to localize it. Great. Glad to know I'm waiting
for a game I won't be playing in french. No. Really. I've been playing all my games in english since... ever... why would I change that now ?


(And it's been the case for every french Mega Man fan : Only Mega Man X8 & Command Mission got translated. Mega Man Zero never was, Maverick Hunter X & Powered Up never were,
Mega Man ZX isn't localized, I think. I think ZX Advent was... anyway : if there are people dying to play Mega Man like game in France, chances are they're likely to understand english because it's been
the language they had to deal with in most case)

 OMG

somebody's still alive there !!

There are still survey for this game ? they're still developping something ? Comcept still exists ? I thought Inafune left for Mexico after he payed
the 3.8 millions he owed his bank for the cancelled "King of Pirate" game.

Are there still people around here too ? I barely remember who I am or what I said here !



Okay, so let's check these recommended settings.


RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer
Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 3.3 GHz or AMD Phenom II X6 => really ?
Memory: 8 GB RAM => really ?
Graphics: Radeon HD 7950 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti => wut ?
Hard Drive: 2 GB available space


Are we talking about the same game that runs on Unreal Engine, which is a 2.5D platformer ?


Imma check Mortal Kombat X PC specs, hang on :

RECOMMENDED:
OS: 64-bit: Win 7, Win 8, Win 10
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz => a bit higher than MN9
Memory: 8 GB RAM => same as Mighty N°9
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 | AMD Radeon HD 7950 => same as MN9
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 40 GB available space


I think I can already see the commercial for this game in my country (I know most of you don't speak the fagg0t language of my place, but you'll get the point anyway) :




... No really, what the hell are those specs ? am I missing something here ?



....

OH but we have the Mega Man Legacy Collection coming out on Steam this summer so.......... yep. And to think I say "maybe Capcom will announce something for summer"

...

That wasn't really what I meant but I'm so back at the wall right now I can't complain anymore....


I don't wanna make a scene, but Capcom & Comcept have me sandwiched here, I'm pretty sure.

OMG

somebody's still alive there !!

Duh.

There are still survey for this game ? they're still developping something ? Comcept still exists ?

Apparently not. It's been more than a week now and still no survey.

I thought Inafune left for Mexico after he payed the 3.8 millions he owed his bank for the cancelled "King of Pirate" game.

Let's see: original IP, multimedia franchise, $3.8 millions lost in development, sound like something else we all know too well.

Okay, so let's check these recommended settings.


RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer
Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 3.3 GHz or AMD Phenom II X6 => really ?

I'm just as lost as you are. I've seen better in X7 and X8, and I could run both of them on an antique Pentium IV machine with an equally antique 64MB GeForce 2 MX.

[TechnoWolf]

 maybe there are michael bayish explosions in the background in each levels right now.

[TheCloudyEye]

 Survey is finally coming out and people are already looking confused. Can't wait 'til it's here to see for myself.

[TheCloudyEye]

 Oh dear lord, we are having rap in the ending credit.

[TechnoWolf]

 Survey> what's to be confused about ? they just need to click two or three times and they're all set.

Answered mine



Mighty N° Kanye West > Oh dear God. Someone please tell me I played too much Batman Arkham Knight, got somehow infected by Scarecrow's toxin and this is all a nightmare.

[TheCloudyEye]

 Start throwin' ye money at the screen people, it's a bloody r?i?p?o?f?f?  spiritual sequel to Mega Man Legends. And we're givin' ye not just one, but TWO Kickstarter campaigns so ye all can throw even more money at us.

[TechnoWolf]

 Mais... mais... MAIS BORDEL !!!


HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU NEED KEIJI ??!!!


Seriously, what cancelled project spendings must he cover up this time ??


EDIT :

So basically :

Megaman has a kickstarter
Megaman Legends too
Castlevania IGA style too
Shenmue III too

...


If there's a japanese guy here more in touch with the video games market here, can he confirm me this : is japanese video game really in that bad of a crisis ?



=> Bethesda didn't feel the need to make a kickstarter to bring back Doom (and I know for a fact Doom 3 wasn't the best acclaimed game of the serie), or Dishonored
=> Squarenix (another japanese developper, and who wasn't doing that well too) didn't kickstart Final Fantasy VII remake


What's taking Capcom so long to kickstart a Megaman game ? what's taking Squarenix so long to kickstart Grandia IV ? Konami to kickstart Castlevania old style ? Nintendo to kickstart Metroid & F-Zero (ohwait no, Reggie told us to shut the fuck up about Federation Force, trust them, buy their shit & stop complaining because developping a Metroid Prime game would take six years ... just watching the distance between Prime 1 2 & 3's release dates suffice to know it's true, really)


Who's next, really, Keiji ?

Mighty N°X ? Mighty N°X Command Mission ? Mighty Ray ? Mighty N°9 Battle Network ?

Is Comcept really gonna run like that : kickstart everything to revive bad clones of previous success ? is the communication & translation going to be handled by the same morons ? Is Keiji's fanbase really gonna follow him 'till the end ? (you know what ? dumb question : they were ready to eat me alive when I joked about the game being delayed)


I know : this industry runs with money, hence my question : is Comcept really lacking money ? what features are they gonna scrap due to tight kickstarted budget this time ??


It's quite incredible : these days when Capcom dares to release a meh port of Dead Rising 3 on PC, or when Warner release a shit port of Batman Arkham Knight, everybody loses their shit and a big ass scandal explodes. But when someone abuse the kickstarter to "revive a classic", everybody's like "yay ! great ! fuck you Capcom !"

[TheCloudyEye]

 Anyone here remember that live-action MN9 movie idea they mentioned a year earlier? It's finally becoming a reality in all its fleshy glory.

[TechnoWolf]

 Inafune needs his money to cover up for other canned projects.

[Home15]

 

Inafune needs his money to cover up for other canned projects.

More like he needs more money to cover his traveling expenses and hotel lodges.
This guy doesnt work anymore, its others that make the game for him.

He just runs away with the rewards.

Oh, you'd be right about that!

Come pay his debts, NOW, FOR THIS LIMITED ONE TIME ONLY PAYMENT DEADLINE.

~ Here lies TechnoWolf, crushed by a kickstarter ~


Priest : ... Eh. He'll be missed *gazes over the asleep audience*

===

I wonder if I can read between the lines


"Our fearless leader Keiji Inafune"

... Yeah you better be fearless to make 56416556 kickstarters before releasing even one game...

seriously.


And in fact, it's like : NOW guys we're gonna make the full game. Like it wasn't being funded and everyone at Comcept's forum were blaming "trolls" and "haters", and the game that was set was not even the full game but only a prologue ? Oh, on the condition that backers give MORE money of course.


Somebody should pass a law that prevents people for making more than 3 kickstarters in a year....... this is getting totally out of control.

"our fearless leader Keiji Inafune explained that a conservative estimate for making a great open world game would be millions of dollars!"

Yeah, why isn't game design free, godammit !


"That is why we've come to Kickstarter and you, the fans, in the first place for the RED ASH project. We want to jump start this new game without having to sign away rights or wait on complex contract negotiations to create the game we really want to make."


We know you're gonna throw your money on us, so screw negociations, it's easier to do a KS, and since we can call people who complain "trolls" or "haters" & get away with it because Inafune's fangirls are stupid, we are gonna abuse this until you're all poor and dying outside.

It only takes a pledge of $25 or more to get a digital copy of "The KalKanon Incident", the prologue to RED ASH.

NOW, when you pledge $79 or more, you will also receive the entirety of RED ASH (main story, estimated at 12 additional hours) when it's released! How's that for an upgrade?

Mooooore MOOOOOOORE !!! I nEeD MoOrRrRe mOnNnNnEeEeEeEeEeEeEh !!!!!!

- Inafune has to pay for a big divorce, guys -

For Not-Yet-Backers

If you pledge today, you will receive the main story of RED ASH for an exclusive pledge price of $49 (normally $79 and up). This offer ends TODAY, July 17th, 24:00 California time (July 18th, 16:00 Japan time).

Backers, you got screwed.

...

Ah non.

For backers who have not yet pledged $49 or more, you are eligible to receive the main story of RED ASH if upgrade your pledge to $49 or more TODAY (July 17th), by 24:00 California time (July 18th, 16:00 Japan time).

GIVE YOUR MONEY NOW ! NOOOOWWWW !!!! I need a good lawyer to justify the fact that my wife caught me trying to screw my Roll doll. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS !!


?Privileges

Check them !

will be lost to the backers who change their pledges after Friday in the manner below:

Isn't that baiting your customer ?

?Additional Information? The main story: "The New Order Conspiracy"

The Kickstarter Conspiracy

We're just over halfway to hitting our goal for "The KalKanon Incident", the prologue to RED ASH! But what will the main story called "The New Order Conspiracy" include?

You guys have even less creative names that I do...



...

Some random infos about the prologue lasting 8H and the main game 12H. Enjoy the prologue that's 4H less only, I guess. At this point, the prologue can be the main game and the main game can be a sequel.

I don't know about how long a Megaman Legends game should last so, meh.


Back to the lines I translated already... so here's this video of the Inafune fanbase mentality instead :



(I have no honor left, for having linked this. If you happen to like this, I'm very sorry for you)

As art director Kazushi Ito explained in yesterday's update, it's unheard of to be given free reign in the game development world to create without having to please a publisher or an executive board.

It's unheard to have a job without having to please a superior hierarchy, except when you're  your own boss. Which, I don't know for Japan, but is more and more impossible in France (left wing government mentality... with rightwing economic policy....)

Through the funding from this Kickstarter, we will be able to create proof of the highest quality

...

via The KalKanon Incident to show partners exactly what we can do.

Oh, wasn't Mighty N°9 enough proof that you guys are fools. Let us remind the wise words of Kamiya-san.

The financial support of our potential partners, combined with the support of our initial fans,

Those who stayed, that is...

will make it possible to create The New Order Conspiracy.

Until you change the name, gender, villain to suit a feminist / progressist / worthless crapist agenda ?


You're here with us on the ground level. And so, we give you this special chance to see the world of RED ASH in full!

You know, all this wouldn't be so bad, even with Dina and all that stuff, if it wasn't for that little detail :

https://images.encyclopediadramatica.se/3/37/Undefundno9.png


If I can't trust you, even after the kickstarter made more than 4 times its initial goal, to deliver the feature (basic feature, not a reward) you guys promised.... tell me on what ground should I trust you ?

Because if I don't blindly throw you my money I'm not getting a new Megaman game ? or a Castlevania game ?

...

Goodbye, franchises, we had a pretty cool run. It seems, just like my childhood, you stopped, and there's nothing I can do to have both of you back.


Next time you see "a game made by fans for fans", be sure to read "we're thinking you're stupid manchildren, and we're gonna empty your pockets 'till you're dry and dump you in the darkest hole, calling you every bad names we can"
