Half of that "indie games that need more attention" thread was on KS and got a fraction of what MN9 got and look better.

I don't get it why some of the screenshots look clear while others look like a blurry mess.
Wish they had went with a cell shading style instead, but I'm interested to see how the gameplay turns out.

Please post them then.
I imagine they were taken with phones.

I wish they stuck to 2D for the characters and NPCs, and 3D for environments... Like Hard Corps: Uprising.
this looks super ugly tho.

Have fun. I'm not gonna list a bunch of games on my phone when you can form your own opinion.
Even moreso it plays great. The controls feel great and the responsiveness is on point.

Well I mentioned Dragons Crown before which had a budget of 1 million.
Yep as I thought you enjoy 2d sprite work. I don't agree that those look better just different.

It looks fine I'm not sure what everyone is going on about. I'm hoping it plays pretty good since I'm itching for some Megaman X-like game.
And coming to the Wii U, even better.
I bet there are no artists who could've pull off authentic Megaman look... Right?!?!?!?!
This looks so, so bad, I don't even know where to start. I guess Inafune wasn't everything. And come on, they already have some kind of fan convention? They need at least a couple of good games first

Yes and it was only on 2 platforms. Dragons crown is a beautiful game but was not a kick starter game.

rockman zx makes the most depressing threads lol.
Game still looks as soulless as ever

Looks way better than that last round of screenshots. Looking forward to getting this and seeing how it plays compared to Mega Man
2d too much these days
I'm glad I didn't back the project, as all those conept arts kind of suggested it to be 2d, including some headers like "classic 2d action". While it might not look bad, as a 4 mio. $ project (probably more by now) it doesn't look super great either. They also cashed in 100k $ per plattform, other indies do that for a fraction of that cost.

Looking good.

The story in those pics is already irritating me.
Different platforms effect cost and scope of projects.
So you're saying porting Dragon's Crown to 2 or 3 more consoles would have tripled its budget? Ridiculous.

Perhaps this kind of a mad opinion but it feels like the design of the game has not adapted to 16:9 as in the thing it is trying to imitate (Mega Man) is 4:3 so they try to do a similar design of levels of x screens by y screens and it just leads to levels with too much spacing between objects (making it seem dull) and wide boss arenas too which could well change how those play out.

And yet the game is super fun with solid gameplay.

My only complain is how bad is the run animation and the proportions of Beck's body, is not like Mega Man was much different but there is something really off about Beck.

That Beck icon = RIP plasma TVs 
I don't know how much it would have changed the cost but it would have increased it. Also the 1 million figure is not completely correct. His quote says the game went over the million dollar mark. I can't find a source stating the final budget on the game.
People keep saying this without posting any examples. Do you dislike the art style because it's 3d like some of the other posters or something else. I think it looks good and supports the fun gameplay that they already have down. Yes it doesn't look like the concept art but most games never do. Also please post some of these other games that look way better so we can all compare them.
Is there something I'm missing regarding why everyone is shitting on this? Is it because it doesn't look like the initial piece of pre-development concept art? If so, there was a lot of things in that concept art that never made the light of day, and I'm ok with that. The only thing that needs improving currently are the particle effects. Everything else looks ok to me.
Ah, the New Super Mario Bros. syndrome.
This has an even lower budget and, yet, it looks better imho.

I take it you don't work in the game industry because yes it can happen. I'm not saying it happened with the game.

That looks like a flash game and ugly.
I don't know that it looks bad. I kind of dig it. I don't know what folks are expecting.
I *DO* wonder how they'll deliver on the 3DS and Vita versions, though, since the game is UE3. I guess Vita can support the engine but not all that well - 3DS though? Surely they'll have to build out a different version of the game on that platform.

Please enlighten me with a few examples where this has happened.
