Andreas Asimakis writes, "Ever since Inafune’s departure in October of last year, Capcom has been moving further and further away from one of its most beloved franchises, and has been systematically cleaning its house of all things Mega Man. Worst of all, it has been completely shameless in its methodical dismantling the iconic videogame figure. Mega Man Universe was the first to go, an ambitious yet troubled MM title that would have offered a fresh take on the Blue Bomber’s 8-Bit days– if only Capcom cared enough to work on the number of gameplay issues it suffered from. Now we have the abrupt killing of Mega Man Legends 3, a project Capcom more than likely wanted nothing to do with in the first place."
If you're a Mega Man fan, you might remember the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 in 2011. While fans were encouraged to show their support for a new entry even after the project had been axed, it's now 2020 and nothing seems to have come of it.
Now, out of the blue, the Mega Man Legends composer Makoto Tomozawa has asked fans on Twitter if they would be up for crowdfunding Mega Man Legends 3.
I'm down for a crowd funding campaign and if this works, hopefully Capcom will open up a crowd funding campaign for Dino Crisis next.
At this point a fan done remake of either of the first two done in UE4,5 or Unity would likely have more to show before a C&D - and Capcom still wouldn't have done anything towards other than the C&D!
Sony should back this up like they did with Shenmue 3. The series started on Playstation and it should end on Playstation.
Establishing a new video game franchise is not easy. You can to create lore, develop strong characters, and continuously craft gameplay that keeps players engaged throughout the series. But some games franchises go dormant, either because their developers or publishers have moved on or simply get canceled. Some games shouldn't remain in the dark, some deserve a new installment. Here are 5 games franchises that deserve a new entry.
I'd love to see a return of Resistance. Once you got over the fact it was supposed to be a "Halo Killer" and just took it at its face value, it was actually a pretty good series. Some ups and downs for sure, but I'd like to see its comeback.
Yeah I agree, Iiked that series and want a ps5 return . I wouldn't mind a new Socom and motorstorm.
Yes! I hope sony starts bringing back some more of their competitive online and co-op games.
I hope they announce a remake first...
Not a lot of people got to experience the series...
And let Bluepoint handle it like the Uncharted collection...
Similar to that collection, the first two games don't hold up by today's standards...
The author should just give up on any ME game, Bioware is pretty much horrid these days. So I don't expect anything good to come out of them any time soon.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
Some of these games were never played by or released to the public....how do we know they were ever actually good?
I have no clue if scalebound would have been any good... But the game was marketed well enough that I wish it hadn't been cancelled :/ To be fair loads of games that were good and sometimes great were "brought back" and were total disasters (Duke Nukem comes to mind for example).
By all counts the Scalebound shown at E3s was not what the actual game in development looked like. If such is true, or if the four player co-op thing, then its stronger reason why they canceled it. Why it was so long development before it was.
Having looked at the trailer for Scalebound I was appaled by the cringe-worthy voice acting although from the very limited time watching the battle scenes the game IMHO had potential.
Actually, the trailers were really boring and the demo of the gameplay was crap in performance. The desire for a good game has created a hype campaign in this game.
not dead...hese a zombie, i still play the classics.
there are officially no more megaman games being made so he really is dying now
capcom doesn't seem to like megaman much this gen or any of their other franchises that aren't RE and SF
I want Mega Man X9!
That picture describes my feelings exactly.
I don't believe Mega Man is dead. I do know that without him, Capcom is dead to me.
