NEW Mighty No. 9 Trailer: Masterclass

"Cry like an anime fan on prom night" LMAO

HAHAHAHA

Amazing.

This game will be awesome, despite all the bullshit around it. I've played it an entire year ago and it was already great. Not even Inafune could ruin it.

Narrator apart, i liked the trailer, the game looks good and gameplay seems solid. that said, I´m afraid it´s not similar to Megaman at all at a first glance...I think I´ll wait to hear people´s opinions after launch before jumping in.

"if the Mighty No. 9 folks were REALLY smart, they'd start charging backers to take their name OUT of the credits"

And here I felt bad about dropping $100 on the KS.

I feel for you.

Man, I'm sorry. That's some "I Need a Hug" and a strong drink levels of regret. I know that if I had that much disposable income and loved something that much I would have dropped at least that much on any kickstarter I could as well. I truly hope that you find some way to enjoy the game in the end. =(
Thanks, guys.

Yeah, I was so excited for the Kickstarter, I went all in. After all, a Mega Man spiritual successor by the man, Inafune? HOW COULD I NOT!? Well, things didn't end as I had hoped. :(

Thankfully, the CDN dollar wasn't as bad then as it is now, otherwise the damage would have been much worse. There's that, at least.

I did back Bloodstained though, for the $150 tier. I might upgrade to $300 depending, since the progress of that game is a lot more positive than anything that came from Mighty No. 9. MN9 didn't completely kill the idea of Kickstarters for me, but I'm definitely a lot more careful over what I pledge now.

Everything that Ive seen about this game looks so horizontal, If i remember the old Mega Man games had a great emphasis on verticality balancing platforming and shooting this just looks like straight shooting.

Bloodstained is the highest amount I've backed a Kickstarter for, but I'm only in for the $100 tier. I really hope it turns out well. It's definitely looking a LOT better than this, at least. It actually looks like the concept art and all the shader stuff they've been doing with the community has been cool.

Yeah, I'm really liking how involved they're being with the community, and the game looks really nice so far (and it's just a short ways into development). They seem to be very receptive to the backers opinions, while doing nothing that might compromise their vision.

I wish Mighty No.9 had done a similar voting thing for the graphical art-style. I know I would have opted for something different than what we got.

Yeah, definitely. If MN9 had been involved with the community like Bloodstained is I'm sure it wouldn't have turned into such an ugly shitshow. I have no doubt that the vast majority of backers would have voted for a much different style.

I've been following this thread since I got into work this morning, and just now had the chance to watch it myself. I was sort of relishing in the negativity (week 3 backer, for the record). I actually thought the trailer was totally fine.
 

JCH!

Holy crap this game looks incredibly underwhelming... Yo think I was pretty excited about it all those years ago...

So you got paid for doing absolutely nothing while delaying finishing your job?

I can see why you're a fan.

These trailers are a thing now, huh? I get german advertisements similar to this, where an annoying let's player-esque guy narrates the trailer.

The worst.

Yeah, Dudebro marketing just never works.

Wildstar tried it. Completely flopped.
Sunset Overdrive did it. Absolute disaster.

Marketing needs to learn that this cringey style just doesn't grab anyone.

Makes me wish Capcom the best with their Mega Man endeavors. They're gonna do a better job with him than Inafune is... I'm surprised to say this, but I'm glad Capcom has the IP compared to him.

X Collection at E3 would be amazing

Are people really that bothered by the joke? Like... anime fans can't laugh at themselves at all?

I can laugh at myself just fine, I do it a lot. But the way it was presented in this awful trailer wasn't the least bit funny and pretty demeaning to a lot of the audience that backed the game. It's in incredibly poor taste, especially given that it's a Kickstarter project that wouldn't have been made without people giving them money first.

Following this game's development has been such a roller coaster. I actually thought the game was looking a bit better the last time I saw it, but this looks pretty bad.

Sunset Overdrive had some fucking great marketing art though.

I still dont know whats with North American game trailers not using the game OST. The game has a perfectly fine soundtrack.
 
Christ, that was fucking terrible. My condolences to everyone who backed this, it's a shame that it seems to be such a pile of shit even after so many delays. They should have just released the shitty game ages ago when it was ready rather than delay it for so long to make hardly any improvements..
 
If anyone is curious how this went.

The graphics look bad, like it was made for 3ds and then ported to more capable devices and in the end looks like shit.
