I need to give this a shot today. I'm running a 970 GTX Golden Edition. I hope that it doesn't play like a train wreck.

Mighty No. 9 special demo now live

I don't think you can give it a shot today.
Voice acting budget going to good use
I love how they point out the stumble is a problem, and then it never comes up as a problem from what I could see.

Wow, I was not expecting it to look this mediocre. I had high hopes for this.

The story bits remind me of this.
Wasn't he saying that's how a modern Mega Man game would be? How prophetic of him.

Ahh right, they delayed it. Well, we'll see what happens. I backed it and when I get my hands on it, I'll post up my impressions.

Holy shit, that looks bad. The constant 'story' interruptions, the godawful dialogue and VA, the bland visuals and awful art style, the enemies which are lifted straight out of Mega Man, the weird design decisions and questionable level design, the poor technical performance, and so on.

Blame this in UE3, IMHO. They should have used Unity.
Why would you blame UE3? There are tons of games made with UE3 that look way better, and run awesome on PC.

Yeah people who invested in it and have exclusive access are going to like things more than than would otherwise.
It is like when Kevin Smith had an advanced preview of Star Wars episode 1 and told everyone it was awesome.

So apparently "everyone" changed it's meaning while I was asleep.

Because Unity runs better across more platforms for 2D games. Using UE3 for MN9 is like using a bazooka to kill a mosquito.

Don't forget there's alsoa hive mind for hating things that other people hate (sometimes when people haven't played it for themselves).
I think what would be a good idea at this point is for backers with valid concerns to voice them in the proper channels. I hope this one turns out nice or at least leads to nicer things. Capcom needs to see that the public matters. Can't see that happening if this tanks
So watching this game demo in action...
-Something is making normalpeople Robots go haywire.
-Hero can absorbnanites "Xel" into his body for his own use.
-Hero can use Xel to make new weapons out of his body.
-Hero has the ability to cure theEvos Mighty by absorbing their Xel.
So basically, this is Generator Rex with a store brand megaman coat of paint?
Hardly, this was on Megaman X5, predating his video by years, in fact i straight up assumed he was making fun of Megaman X5.

Gross. I understand Comcept wants to have a "cartoon friendly" universe but at least let me turn all that trash off.
I actually like it, it's the one mechanic that sets it appart from being a carbon copy of megaman, plus it has a risk reward thing going, will you snipe everything from far or will you go dashing to absorb the most so you can have a subtank when you need it?
Perhaps.
But that's not the game I had in mind when I backed this to be honest.
I'll still play the final game when it comes out, but I'll probably ignore the "dash to kill" entirely if at all feasible.
It's not a 2D game though. It's a 3D game with a fixed side camera. Unity may run better across more platforms but MN9 is having performance problems on a PC with specs that are better than recommended.
It'd say don't blame the engine but blame the developers.

The demo is now releasing to backers via Humble Bundle. It seems to be releasing in waves though. Some people have it, some don't yet. Mine didn't come until about 15 minutes ago and the announcement was an hour ago.
I gave it a quick spin. Game looks like ass, but the gameplay is solid.
Why couldn't they cell shade this? >.<

Yeah, that would had been cool, or better yet, 2D!!!

How on Earth do I download the demo?
I go to my Purchases in Humble Bundle's site and it takes me to the following page:
And then!?

Is it for all backers? I have it, but I pledged enough for a copy of the game... not totally sure.

It's like Megaman, Megaman X, Battle Network and Legends rolled into one package without any of the polish.
For some reason I'd thought this was going to be 2D. Haven't really followed along, but was disappointed to see the graphics. Gameplay looks ok at least.

It's a good thing they delayed the game, to you know, work on more important stuff, like making sure the online works.
Mine still isn't showing and I did use the order resender.
Maybe it's better this way.
Edit: Got mine to show up after hitting the order resender a third time. First impressions are pretty meh. It's like PSAS...it's 99% Mega Man but that other 1% just makes me wish that I were playing the MMX instead.
So am I missing something or is there actually any way to tell whether Pyro is going to just sprint or do the sumo splash? It feels like it's just a dice roll.
I don't hate this demo, it just feels...kinda sloppy? Like they have some good ideas in here but they didn't take enough time to playtest and refine it so you're left wondering what could've been.

What a terrible demo, inconsistency in texture resolution and quality, terrible pacing with poorly designed 3 minutes long levels (with hardly any platforming), beyond bad boss fights, atrocious character design with even worse voice acting, laughable effects with piss poor animations (you could see Beck's neck not connected to his head in one of the cutscenes), meh OST, random fps drop.
This game is anything but polished, feels like playing one of these indie games that Jim Sterling complains about, after being disappointed by the beta demo (old demo), I had no expectations for the game, yet it managed to somehow disappoint me even further. I stated before that the old demo felt like worse than the worst Megaman, I was wrong, I've played Mario Maker levels made by kids that were more fun than this trash.

Didn't mean to offended anyone but I'm pissed.
Probably the wrong thread to bump but I can't find a more relevant one that isn't a couple of months old - they're shipping out the first wave of physical rewards now:
Bit concerning that it hasn't included the poster, signed artbook and game manuals, I suppose they should come in another wave. I haven't had the time to even try out the special demo.

Printed stuff might be coming from a separate warehouse / supplier.

Got the same email and yeah, bit weird that it's not all of the physical goodies.
I've tried the demo (at the lowest detail settings), but only by the luck of having a Windows PC for work that just *barely* runs it. All of my home computers are Macs and I chose PS4 for my copy of the game.
