Wow, even the creator of Mega Man gets shit on these days by his own company?
I really don't know if I can legitimately say gaming is better in this day of DLC and no Action Replay and fees for everything and disposable games and dying studios and botched franchises and Need for Call of Tony Hawk: Hardened Duty Tactical Strike and creators not being able to sell anything if it doesn't have 12 guns and 13 shades of brown in it.

For serious - ppl say that Japanese devs are behind the times and all sorts of other bullshit, but that ain't it at all.
It's corporate greed combined with just enough corporate stupidity to not see what is truly in their own vested interests.
And yet this is precisely what is wrong with western devs too.
Fuck 'em all, I say - another 2600 end-cycle apocalypse can't come soon enough.

How did Inafune screw Capcom, btw?
Elaborate.

um, isn't that what CEO's are supposed to be like?Zen said:
Seems like a whirlwind of the worst possible combinations of circumstances sealed this game's fate before any of us should have gotten hyped. Sad. :'(
Edit: For the folks that are still on the Inafune killed Capcom train of thought, while it's true that he spearheaded the whole "westrnization" mantra, he clearly meant something other than what we were thinking when he said as much, see the interview by 4gamer (I think it was?) right after leaving the company. (Having a hand in Clover's disbanding notwithstanding) Anything happening now is Capcom upper management not understanding gaming and lower management being salarymen not trying to shake the boat too much lest it capsize on them.

Kind of conflicted.
Wanting to leave the company yet finish your projects is sort of an iffy thing to ask...but Capcom should have been more open to negotiation, given his tenure.
Then again, they're really not obligated to comply when someone says they want to walk.

As much as I like Inafunes games and he also seemed like to be a nice guy in interviews but he really seems to be delusional. He was responsible for some of Capcoms biggest financial losses with Lost Planet 2, Dark Void and Bionic Commando, he probably was even responsible for Ninja Theory getting to work on Devil May Cry (I know that this was announced after his departure), he also constantly complained about his own co-workers and Japanese developers in general, started the MML3 project and made it public without any approval. But he got still the nerve to go to his bosses and to tell them that he´ll only work for them if they hire his new found company... Sorry but the outcome was more than obvious especially after the recent flops he was responsible for.
I hope his new company gets a chance to make games with a decent budget, because even after all the mess he caused in his last two years at Capcom he had also his part on Capcoms good start in the beginning of this gen.

Sour grapes
One guy on their twitter account = all of Capcom?
Why the heck would they ever release a demo of a game that was never going to be produced? Not worth the consumer confusion, at all.
Still entirely on Capcom's side on this one.
Nobody cares about Mega Man Legends, except obviously fans of the first two games, of whom 80% are on GAF. It kinda looks like Inafune went "I want to make MML3 because I want to make it". Not exactly a clever position to take in business.

Inafune was very pro "LETS GO WESTERN", and responsible for some shitty titles so...
while this story is fucked up, i kinda dont feel that bad about Keiji firing.

Okay then.
My little brother has been down ever since they canceled it.
Screw you, Capcom - making a young man that sad!
I enjoyed the games, but he played the black off of them.
I'm just glad I convinced him to wait until more games were released for the 3DS, before getting one in anticipation of this game alone.
Capcom: fucking over Nintendo handheld sales since mid '11.

If the fans had been more involved, maybe Capcom would have let him finish it.

Inafune was probably going to outsource this to Ninja Theory anyway.
