It always worries me when these fan projects get posted online before they're completed, because so many of them get shut down. I remember the Chrono Cross 3d game a few years back was reportedly 90+% complete when they posted the info and trailer online. A few days later they got an order from Square to shut it down.

I know you want to get the word out. but at least get it in a finished state, then release it. If anything happens after that, well at least it got out there.

There was also Sonic 2 HD edition, that only got a demo.

I think that these people who release information about these unfinished projects just got tired or something like that and don't plan to finish it. So they release information hoping that the company who owns the franchise will shut down the project and they can say that it wasn't their fault.

If I remember correctly, there was a fan made version of Streets of Rage that they finished before releasing any information. SEGA shut them down, but at least the game is complete and people can find it.

And I think you meant Chrono Trigger, and I don't think it was so close to be finished as 90%.

Nerdmaster4571d ago

How long will it take until Capcom shuts it down?

Treezy5044571d ago

Capcom should be smart and hire these guys lol.

GentlemenRUs4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

I can see a C&D letter coming anytime soon now... Shame really...

C(R)apcom strikes again!

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro151d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher150d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain150d ago (Edited 150d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger150d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro150d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC150d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.

Yeah they’re testing the water with Pragmata ..

shinXseijuro306d ago

Next megaman game will run on Pragmata engine they’re just gonna swap out Hugh and Diana for megaman but they literally function the same . You’ll be able to lock into enemies and uses your thrusters to dodge in all direction and as you advance you’ll get upgrade for double thruster jump , front and back dash etc . Great game

BlackDoomAx306d ago

I fear that current generations don't care about it.

HyperMoused306d ago

Its just a bit dated now...the pic above its the 90's....maybe a slight revamp would be good, now what that would look like would be interesting

Johnh5223306d ago

Question is always going to be what are you going to do with it? Capcom has burnt mega man fans many a time and trust is low overall so I think a bold new direction may not be the best idea unless it's backed with a sonic mania style project alongside it.

I could see a bold new 3d take on the Willy wars alongside a mania style game being very popular.

Just keep it far away from Live services and loot boxes

DarXyde656d ago

Hear me out.

........I think they could pull off a MetroidVania Mega Man.

Even better: make it Megaman X, but in a pre-X7 style.

Old McGroin655d ago

Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.

shinoff2183656d ago

Sounds like a plan Capcom. Just don't forget the disc. Also I think alot of the mega man base would love to see a return of the rpg

Brazz655d ago (Edited 655d ago )

You know... I realy think a MM game that plays like ratchet and clank can work great! Mega Man can be very light hearted and family friendly, something for everyone If they use a formula similar to Ratchet and Clank, i realy want to see Capcom giving It a try.
