Inafune seems to already have the "never release the game ever" part of development down, thanks Vire

That's waaay out of date, here's some recent direct 1080p grabs.

Regarding hope MN09 turned out, I just think it's really hard in general to make a polygonal side scroller to look good. They tend to just look.. Cheap. The only way you avoid this is by having a very strong art style that works well as a sidescroller, and really good animation suited to a sidescroller is also important. I feel like the animation in MN09 is decent, but the overall presentation -- Textures, FX, colors -- Is generally kind of mediocre, which just drains my excitement when what I originally had hoped for was the next step up for mega man -- similar to how Mega Man X was a step up from 8 bit. Fresh, energetic, impressive.

People complaining about the tweet are more annoying than the tweet itself
Which is pretty hard to do

I really regret backing this. If I just could have been spared the asinine ride, it would have been worth it just to laugh at it.

But hey! Laugh now, cry later, right?

It's not whether the tweet is right or wrong. It's that it's being spammed to fuck and contributing nothing outside of derailing the threads it's posted in. Here's a wild idea: instead of posting some tired meme, why don't people form a thought with words that articulate their point over the thousandth appearance of that kamiyainafune.jpg

I'm not saying I condone what Capcom did...but I understand.

there really isn't anything to understand in regards to megaman legends 3 . Inafune was long gone before that game got canceled so he likely wasn't a factor . now if you talking about why nobody at capcom tried to stop him from leaving then I'm with you 100%

You know, as a backer I really wish there was even one moment where I really cared about this project's development past the finish line of the campaign.

Oh well, come when you want.

Sylverstone14 often posts here and I believe he is a mod on Reddit. Neat seeing he got a response on Twitter from Kamiya. I would nerd out.

It was surprising since I expected Kamiya to maybe block me (it was my first question to him), but yeah, I've nerded out a bit. I've fielded better questions to him, plus he gave me props for my Wonderful 101 shirt.

Also sometimes I regret how much that tweet has become so readily used in a ton of Inafune-related stuff. The humor was there a year ago, but it really has worn thin.

To think such a harmless question would spin out of control...

Game is done, or mostly done (dk about the dlc stuff)

Still working on it, still buggy, tho.

A little surprising that it won't make 2015.

Are they? They still have all our fucking money (now I made myself want to watch the Aqua Teen movie again). Plus they got funded by Fuze for Red Ash and are getting funded for that Xbox One game.

I'm actually glad it seems to have been delayed a while, currently moving house and it would've been a nightmare trying to keep track of where and when all my Kickstarter rewards would be sent.

Plus I think another year to year and a half of development could spruce up the game visually and possibly mechanically too.

The problem is that, debatably, business men don't delay games.

I get that people aren't happy with mn9 but to say delaying the game is somehow only a marketing or business strategy is kind of weak.

If anything, we should be happy. Inafune must not like the reception this game has had from fans and perhaps wants to squeeze a bit more into it to polish the rough spots.

It's like, wow... we could avoid the whole song and dance altogether if people didn't post it in place of critical discussion to begin with!

I like how people use Kamiya's words as a put down to discredit Inafune when Kamiya has also had words of praise/acknowledgment for the same man.
Besides, Inafune is doing enough to discredit himself; the tweet being posted doesn't even make sense considering lately he's demonstrated he isn't even a GOOD businessman.

Is... is satire something that is easily lost on you? Lol why would I genuinely tell people that I'm smugly leaving a thread?

How about the fact that it was the one shown in pretty much all the artwork prior?

Her design being so blatantly Roll is also obvious. This game was sold as "basically Mega Man" from the start. They put all their chips on fans going for the one that was blatantly Roll. Because it's familiar and safe and safe sells.

Oh ok I see what you're saying. Yeah I'm inclined to agree - I had similar thoughts back then and while I don't think they were trying to force anything, the way things played out in that end was annoying to me :/

You could have left the weak bait alone :p (though I guess somebody else would step up to the plate). The tweet is played about across the 3312353 recent Inafune related threads and isn't really applicable to the subject of the thread :/

It was actually pretty relevant this time around, considering the post that post was replying to described him as a creator.

Not to mention that the sentiment is very, very true and we shouldn't forget that

Edit:

Just checked out their website.

There are 2 people on the team.

vap - programming, gamedesign and animation (also made Intrusion 2).

Niconoff - level and character art.

All presented content is work in progress.

WTH?!?! Okay Inafune, you no longer have any excuses whatsoever.

Yeah, this is more or less the kind of response I had in mind.

I admit I was caught up in the MN9 hype because I was in full "fuck Capcom" mode. But things have really changed over time.

I have no doubt it'll be a fun game to play, but yeah this. The ongoing dramatics and weirdness that was Red Ash in conjunction with this project still being MIA didn't help much.

How we can forget if it always appear in Inafune threads even those not related to the MN9 clusterfuck? Or how we can forget the "lets pretend we don't know what concept art is"? I mean, we are not even discussing if gameinformer is right about the delay just "lolInafune".

Guess I should be glad I never backed the game. Could be the backlash of complaints causing him to see the project and push it back until next year.

So people are bitching cause they decided to delay the game instead of release a buggy mess.... I thought we were over that delays were a bad thing. Oh wait its cause its cause inafune right.

Inafune's incompetence shouldn't shadow the whole KS thing. You just gotta know who it is you're backing.

I think everyone assumed Inafune was a safe bet, if we're supposed to be backing projects based on the people behind them
