(Don't know enough about comics for this week's topic, so I'm skipping it!)


Sigma, Vile, and Dynamo will be wearing thongs. Vile will be angry about it, Sigma will always looking deeply uncomfortable, and Dynamo will be exceptionally giddy.

Meanwhile, X and Zero will be skipping down the beach holding hands in a way that's totally not gay.

Also, Double is there. The fat one.

I myself would like a Mega Man RPG fighting style game. A chance to bring all of the robot masters from all the games. Gain all the weapons, all the Rush Upgrades and items. There are no levels, only boss fights.

As for the topic I had in mind. I wanted to mention a movie based on Venom. From the time he escapes the glass chamber, fights off The Lizard, to him confronting Spider Man the first time.

And onto the next...

Is it just me, but it seems like Capcom was onto something when MM9 and 10 were made. X9 as a 16-bit game, just may be best for Capcom right now. L3 is currently on the shelf, doesn't mean another Mega Man game can't be worked on.

So the next topic I ask, Would it be best for Capcom to go back the there roots? Get back into the retro gameing?

Considering 9 and 10 weren't getting new people interested in the series and was only pandering to the old-time fans... not really.

When it's got to the point where Capcom's not even willing to test the waters with a friggin' demo I think we can safely say that whatever strides Capcom made with Mega Man Classic's continuation have since been backtracked upon.

The best thing for Capcom right now would be firing its current head and putting someone more daring in charge.

I'm with RD on this. Mega Man 9 and 10 didn't really get new fans to care about the series, so they're no indication of the best path to take from here. The X series is far less entrenched in it's 16-bits roots too. After all, three games were for the SNES, three for the original Playstation, and three designed for the Playstation 2 (including Command Mission). It's got an even distribution across console generations, so a sequel should take that into account and either aim for the current generation systems, or go for the handhelds.

Truth to be told, I wonder if the best idea wouldn't be an all new series. Mega Man Legends was an attempt to make the transition to 3D platforming, while Battle Network reached out to a new generation of handheld gamers. A new creation similar to these would probably be a better starting point toward a franchise revival over trying to revive one of the existing threads.

This makes me think of Mega as the new Link or Samus.

I think part of the problem with making a new entry in the Megaman series lies in the fact that the Megaman fanbase is very diversified. This complicates things, because Capcom would not potentially have to try to make the games appealing to new players, but have to please the existing fanbase at the same time who don't even agree on what they want. Megaman can mean alot of things: the classic series, X, Legends, Battle Network and Star Force, ZX or something entirely new. But there's no guarantee that making a game in one of those series will even attract people who are fans of others.

We all know Sigma's smokin hot.

Also I'd play X9 if it was 16 bit. But eh, Axl. I hate Axl. Let's go back to the ending of X3 and reboot the series from there. :D

Why X3? I'd argue that X5 offered much more closure to the series, as well as opportunities to move forward. It'd have worked perfectly on it's original plan as a jumping point to the Zero series.

Because X4 is horrible.

The entirety of the X series could've used more humans overall. Hell, the franchise could've. It's bad enough we didn't get more than one human at a time until Zero 4.

MS Paint Masterpieces shows an excellent job of incorporating humans into the Mega Man storyline... but I think everyone knows at this point anyone else can do a better job than Capcom can.

And onto the next...

Seems everybody wants to talk about Mega Man related stuff lately. Believe me, I can't blame you people for it. So lets talk as to why, we want to talk about Mega Man.


Let's try to keep the obvious reasons out of it.

Because he deserves the exposure and recognition.

The biggest thing to me though, Mega Man has a lot of potential. Since he is in most cases a robot, the franchise can be reinvented/rebuilt several times while staying consistent with part of his character.

We want to talk about Mega Man because the games are fun, of course!

There have been several news lately, and many of them are not negative at all. New books are getting released, a new soundtrack showed up earlier this year, the comic is off to a promising start, we learned some background about the Ruby-Spears cartoon... The franchise is active, and as such it isn't far from the mind of many hardcore fans. Obviously, some extra exposure would be great to get more people involved.

We want to talk about megaman because this board was going to be filled with MML posts. MML3 being cancelled however, we still have mega on our minds, thus we talk about Megaman. (It needs .exe 7)

I have a reason to believe that Mega Man games, are going to slow down. Just so Mega Man merchandise has a chance to sale.

Such as the Comic books, there are the new toys, along with the art collection books.

Honestly though, how many Mega Man games have been made in the last 5 to 7 years? Mega Man games are not dead, they are simply, hibernating.

As for the next topic...

How would you improve the original and/or X series? To make them more enjoyable.

I myself, feel a new mapping system needs to be done. The simple straight forward approach to the boss, is somewhat boring. MM6 was defenitely a good example of this. Fighting the right boss granted you a piece of Beat. I would add fake spikes, that lead to secrets, leading to the boss fight.

More interesting weapons. They need to be functional outside of the boss battles you use them in. That Black Hole weapon in Megaman 9 is a great example of an interesting weapon design, and it's things like that that the series needs more of, so it feels less like you've done it before.

I'm pretty conservative with this though. I think the core rock/paper/scissors dynamic is good and should be left alone. Just take what you've got and make the best use of it.

I don't think that messing around with the formula too much is a good idea. If you want to do that, you might as well launch a new series in a new setting.

Necro raises a good point: interesting weapons. Mega Man 9 had a solid set overall, and Mega Man 10 offered a few good ones too. Those were much better than, say, Mega Man 8's set which was more useful to get through stage gimmicks than anything else.

I think there's room to add more levels, though. For the Original series, bring back the two fortresses concept. On the X series, keep a design similar to X8 where you could return to previous levels with new objectives. It keeps things from getting stale. Mega Man 6's alternate level ends are another example of something relatively simple that can add an extra challenge.

Next on the list...

I recently had a thought, for those who have the God Of War games.

Who is looking forward to the G.O.W.4? I know I am.

This is a chance to talk about it, go for it.

I thought the main series was supposed to end with 3...?

I got the God of War Collection (1 and 2) along with my PS3 last year, but I didn't spend any time on it yet. I'll have to get on that eventually.

I think September 13th is when the G.O.W. collection 2 comes out. God of War 4, is said to come out early next year if not by Christmas.

And Yes, it is currently in construction.

I recently had a thought, WHAT IF, Capcom did another Ride and Chase game? For the PS3, they could for sure have more characters to choose from.

But the question is, what other Robot Masters could fit in the game, and what kind of vehicles would they drive.

Nitro Man is already a great candidate. Maybe Charge Man.

Surely you mean Battle & Chase.

About any Robot Master would be a valid candidate. I, for one, would like to see one of the shield-based Masters have a shot as they'd have a unique weapon. Plant Man or Jewel Man come to mind. I'd like to see Blade Man in there as well: his sword throwing could puncture an opponent's tires, forcing him to slow down for a while.

Charge Man would be nice. If they did bikes, it'd be nice to see NitroMan just as himself.

I'd also like to see a drill-based robot master (maybe Ground Man) ride a vehicle that could bore holes through certain course walls or something to make his own track shortcuts... but maybe that would be too over-powered.
