Yeah, Inafune didn't create Mega Man himself, but he's responsible for pretty much everything Mega Man has become since like the first game. (Except cancelled. *rimshot*)Fine Ham Abounds said:

Ignoring all the fake stories surrounding Capcom and Megaman lately, this one has to be the real deal right??SwiftSketcher said:There is a rumor circulating that if the Devroom reaches 25,000 members, they will resume production. From a "source within Capcom."
Make of it what you will.
I'm personally waiting for an official word from Capcom to confirm this... Rumor to me until then.

It does, actually.Manmedaz said:Servbot # 006716 here ! It seems to be moving really fast .
Damn it, my bad. Uh, but I guess it's even better then that it was Sven lookingGod's Beard said:Sven is not S-kill. Sven has MUCH, MUCH more pull within Capcom than Seth does.
Well damn! Before I went to bed it had barely broken 5,000, to see it at almost 7,000 now is pretty amazing. Especially considering how shitty the sign-up system is.Manmedaz said:Servbot # 006716 here ! It seems to be moving really fast .

This. CAPCOM's site seems to have gotten more asstastic than it was in the Lost Planet days. So slow and bloated.krumble said:Signed up to devroom

Hypershell said:Hi, Sven. Sorry for the extra work, but try as I might I cannot condense my thoughts into just a few words...
As disappointing as it is to see Legends 3, that is the final game, cancelled, I cannot express in words the feeling of betrayal that comes from the Prototype Version being cancelled.
This is straight from Director Eguchi's mouth on April 21, 2011:
"We ended up reaching an unprecedented agreement. As it happens, it was decided that the prototype version of the game we had submitted within the company would be sold as a downloadableMega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version. Furthermore, the heat and excitement surrounding this downloadable title would determine whether or not the full game could be greenlit."
Here's the problem that I, and quite a few Devroomers, have: We gathered from this statement that the Prototype's release was to be a key consideration in whether or not Legends 3 would be given the final greenlight by Capcom. To terminate the project before then feels very much as a stab in the back. It says that we were promised an opportunity, and that opportunity then taken away. A procedure was in place to test the viability of Legends 3 on the market and Capcom unilaterally decided to back down, why? What happened between then and three months later, when the title was cancelled? There is also a strong implication that this prototype version, being based on the greenlight meeting build, should have been close to completion. I understand it needs to be fine-tuned for the public, and there is surely more than a little red tape to clear in releasing a game even through digital distribution, but the steps required to get there ought to be minimal compared to how far the Prototype Version had already come, so why terminate it before taking that opportunity?
To release the Prototype Version, and say that the impact was inadequate, would surely be difficult to hear. But at the very least it'd have preserved Capcom's integrity. It'd have given the Devroomers a consolation prize. It'd have given Capcom some small revenue to offset the 9+ months of development that Legends 3 saw, rather than wasting it outright.
What manner of "heat and excitement" was deemed so inadequate as to cancel the Prototype and deny the chance to observe our reaction so close to release? Legends 3 made the cover of June's Nintendo Power, and it was the *ONLY* non-ported 3DS game on the e-Shop that anyone had even heard of (and actually it still is; the only native 3DS games on the e-Shop, if you count them, are the 3D Classics remakes). If you thought our efforts inadequate, could you not have asked more? Did we not well exceed the only publically established Servbot membership goal ever set, despite the clunky and initially bug-ridden membership process? People have taken to talking about how a few thousand members doesn't indicate stellar sales, but what relationship does Capcom believe a public appeal to "amateur game development" has to the game's sales audience?
"The game didn't meet certain criteria" is not an answer, it is a public-relations dodge. It flies in the face of what the Devroom stood for. Surely we do not get to say "no" to such a decision anymore than Eguchi and his crew get to, they all answer to somebody as well. They all have to hear bad news that they really don't want to, and we do as well. I get that. But such a general statement is condescending and dismissive, even if it wasn't pulling away what had already been promised, it is outright insulting to the notion that Capcom attempted any sort of "communication" with us in regards to game development.
I'm frustrated, deeply, and I'm making every effort to stay civilized. Bottom line: Is there anything, whatsoever, that we can do to change Capcom's mind and get the Prototype Version released? If after that, Legends 3 is still deemed not viable for business, then at least we could say that we tried.
I wonder, is Capcom aware of the 100,000 Strong For Legends 3 campaign? At time of writing, less than a week since the game's cancellation, they have amassed over 31,000 members. Not at their self-stated goal yet, but well on their way for such a short time.
Regardless of the above, is there any chance of hearing a "farewell" message from others involved with the production of Mega Man Legends 3? I appreciated getting to hear "Gregaman's" thoughts on the matter, and I'd have liked some closing words from Eguchi, Kinako, and the rest of the crew.
