Really hoping its to rework the visuals..... game looked very bland. Games with similar atheistic like Splosion Man that came out 6 years ago looked more visually interesting.

Mighty No. 9 Will Not Release In 2015 (According to GameInformer)
- Thread starter AAMARMO
- Start date
Bosman probably.
ASH campaing managed to get funded and then they announce a delay for MN9.

what.
Well, because it's Microsoft published, it means he did business with other businessmen who also know how to handle their business. So if Microsoft cancels it, it's a business decision and shows how 'good' of a businessman Inafune is at running a business.
BUSINESS
What did you back?
That's my thoughts. It's been receiving a pretty tepid reception hasn't it?
Still, it's baffling why a game like this is taking so long. Stretched too thin with wanting it to be a major multimedia franchise out of the gate would be my suspicion.

Because delays never happen in this industry. Some of you guys need to grow up.
I think he means that a lot of people are just piling on the hate right now because it's the popular thing to do.
But I would disagree. I think there are a lot of valid reasons to not be a fan of Inafune right now. The way Red Ash was handled was a trainwreck in every way imaginable. Adding a three month delay to MN9 right after that definitely isn't a good look.
Reese, from the future. Mighty No. 9 is actually Skynet's first step in weaponising video games.

You're the one who said it seemed artificial. Great job explaining how it's artificial, when it seems anything but.
It's obviously not though. Sure, there are always some bandwagoners, but it's pretty obvious that Inafune's public perception is going downhill because of the problems that keep happening under his watch.
Lol frankly I don't even want it anymore. It looks bad.

Well, there are tons of desinformation and people repeating the same Kamiya tweet like gospel.
Doesn't mean he don't deserve part of the hate, thought.
Second delay already I think. And since GameStop owns Game Informer, I think they know what they are talking about
LOL
This lightens up the mood a lil bit

Maybe but like I said what they have been showing us recently was what we were going to get. Something tells me it's not something about the game itself.
Same, I wonder what the hell happened in that short timeframe.
Psssh...nothing personnel. It's just business.

I'd also add that the speed run video posted here yesterday didn't leave a very good impression of MN9 to many of us, especially since, at the time, the 9/15 release date seemed legitimate. The video looked like Mega Man's bland cousin who relied too much on dash, and the gameplay appeared to be ridiculously easy. Maybe the delay will help but the last few updates on MN9 have been lackluster at best.
I don't hate Inafune but there's quite a bit of reasons to be disappointed in him lately.

Red Ash clusterfuck. Then again, that also seems to indicate that is a problem beyond the game itself.
Then Deep Silver or someone should issue a comment saying as much. Offering a no comment to GameInformer doesn't give much confidence.

What a mess
Looking at the recent video
Why oh why did they not stick with the 2D art for heavens sake

Interestingly, you can pre-order a digital Steam code on amazon.de right now but the physical copies never went up.
his work on recore is conceptual, armature studios+microsoft are the ones doing the heavy lifting

Maybe next time people will think twice about mythologizing the guy who helped drive Capcom into the hole they are now and will see him for what he is.

They are definitely being very open and honest to their customers that already paid for their game 2 years ago, right?
It'd have been 2 years in September. And that's already a delay, the game was due April 2015 originally.

I agree. Even if it didn't match up with this concept art I wish they stuck with a 2D style because their 3D stuff in the game looks awful. They could at least kept the cool looking HP Bar.

Animating 2D at that quality would have been exceptionally more difficult and time-consuming than what they're doing now.
Also, concept art.
I don't disagree that their 3D stuff isn't exactly exceptional either, however.
This actually looks like a mix or regular and cell shaded. Which would have been completely doable.What a mess

2D vs. 3D isnt the problem, its that the 3D looked nothing like that even though it is clearly attainable this day and age.

And he had the nerve to announce another kickstarter, this is unacceptable. I'd be fine with a delay if he didn't try to kickstart another project before this was even out

For the 11 billionth time. That was concept art and said so on the kickstarter page. Hell on the same page that had more reasonable 2D sprites that were also concept art.What a mess

This is coming from someone who has not been impressed at MN9 at all.
2.5D is completly fine and making a 2D game of that quality can be very expensive.
The problem, me thinks, is that the one we got is completely bland and ugly looking. I mean, it looks so generic =/

As has been said, it's not a matter of 2D vs 3D. You can switch from 2D to 3D, but it should look just as good...and it doesn't.What a mess
