Wait so they are selling a demo or is the entire game small scale and selling at 200 yen?

Prologue DL Title to Rockman DASH3/Megaman Legends 3.

 

[Ahoi-Brause]

First off, that's not what a Mary Sue is.

Second, I wonder how much you felt towards Bass.

Third, I bet you didn't even play X8!

My rage... it gives me power!

Bass wasn't playable when he first appeared.
Axl was crammed into the series to appeal to stupid yaoi fans and to imply some kind of homosexual love triangle going on between Zero, X and Axl so fujoshi will buy the game.

Anyways, this new character fits the definition of a Mary Sue for a 100%.
It's like some shitty fanfic character come to life stealing the spotlight for megaman.

 

[Kyoufu]

Looks like pay demos are the next trend.

This is an alpha though :lol

 

[brettchalupa]

This may just be a way to see the fan reception before actually going all out on the full title.

It isn't really a bad thing, I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks to get some early content and look at the game.

 

[PKrockin]

Oh dear

I hope they polish it up before releasing it on the shop...

 

[Metallix]

$2.50? I'm down. Especially if it means more money for the devs.

 

[Moppet13]

Wait, they have pay to play Alpha versions?

 

[Kyoufu]

This is an alpha though :lol

Don't remind me :lol

 

[C.Dark.DN]

is there a VOD

 

[[Nintex]]

Oh dear

I hope they polish it up before releasing it on the shop...

I don't think so, they probably ran out of money..

 

[Kyoufu]

Duckroll trolled us all. The show was 2 hours 40 minutes :lol

 

[Father_Brain]

Anyway, I had been under the impression that Nintendo wasn't allowing developers to announce 3DSWare titles, and didn't have a date for when they'd be available. Maybe it'll happen when the eShop launches next month after all... I can dream, can't I?

 

[Seven Force]

I'm down if it's only $2. Hopefully they can polish it up a bit.

Spoiler

Oh who am I kidding, this is Capcom... they'll find some way to fuck this up

 

[duckroll]

Duckroll trolled us all. The show was 2 hours 40 minutes :lol

Okay. Next time I won't make a thread. Sorry.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Even though this is $2.50 for an alpha build you have to think this is the perfect way to get fan reaction, yeah its BS that it even costs but oh well.

 

[Luigiv]

It's a pre-pre-alpha build full of place holder assets and no polish. Content probably wont overlap with the final build by virtue of it being so damn early but it's still a terrible idea for an early teaser release. Even at 200 Yen it's ripoff (though, I'm still biting, because I'm foolish) and could end up harming the final games integrity as most people don't understand the concept of prototypes.

Apparently Rome was built in a day if some people are to be taken seriously.

Edit: One thing worth noting though, It could be that Capcom put a price on the demo that it would have a permanent spot in the shop. Remember, Nintendo cycles through demos.

 

[Kyoufu]

Okay. Next time I won't make a thread. Sorry.

Heh, thanks for the link. Aside from the iPhone momotaru speed run and the creepy naked soul thing it was ok.

 

[From The Dust]

Capcom is trolling Mega Man Legends fans hard

 

[friskykillface]

I want my mega man


I'm at college and I want to see this trailer/ gameplau footage

lol at pay demo , oh Capcom

 

[Boss Doggie]

So I guess go blame Sony's GT5 prologue and SE's Dissidia prologue

Bass wasn't playable when he first appeared.
Axl was crammed into the series to appeal to stupid yaoi fans and to imply some kind of homosexual love triangle going on between Zero, X and Axl so fujoshi will buy the game.

Except that you do know Trigger is stuck in outer space.

And are you implying that there haven't been any yaoi prior to Axl?

I don't think this is really being intended as a teaser release.

More likely, the team needs the money, or Capcom wants to check fan reactions (via amount of people who pay for the demo) to see whether or not they should greenlight the project officially.

The Prototype version was rated by the OFLC in Australia so it's safe to say that is going to be happening pretty soon as a way to hype the service. However, it better not set a precedent that demos should be paid for either. >_>;

 

[Drkirby]

$2? God damn it Capcom, I can't say no at that price. It is that or a hamburger.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So Prolouge = Play as Ballet
Final = Play as Megaman & Ballet? (possibly co-op like I said)

 

[gimz]

is the video still streaming?

 

[From The Dust]

lol at pay demo , oh Capcom

trailer

you will get Mega Man Trigger in the full game.

 

[Kyoufu]

Its over.

 

[Mockingbird]

Pay demo...wow.

Well it's not like those two agendas are mutually exclusive.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Pay demo...wow.

GT5 Prolouge

 

[Ahoi-Brause]

Except that you do know Trigger is stuck in outer space.

And that's why the game should be about some new shitty friend?
This is like sonic.
Just bring back megaman, let Tron rescue him or whatever.
But introducing some shitty new friend who is totally jarring and doesn't fit the scenario is a bad idea. I personally feel trolled by capcom.

MM is playable though!

This is a prolouge dude. It probably ends with Megaman coming back.

Agreed. The right way to do a demo is to wait until you can release a polished slice of the game, but I guess MML3 really is in danger of cancellation and the team is doing this out of desperation. Either that, or they're just fucking stupid.

Still, I doubt I'll be able to bring myself to not buy it, if only as a $2 gesture of support.

 

[duckroll]

I don't think so. Megaman isn't even going to be in it at all, because Megaman is still stuck in space. I bet this is going to be like DMC4, where half the game is Ballet working to rescue Megaman, and then after that they reuse all the same areas for another half of a game with you playing as Megaman to beat the real villains.

That actually looks... really good, or at least much better than I was expecting from the comments in this thread.

Though it would be nice if the potato tank thing didn't sit there dead.

$2 is precisely on the cusp of "might as well. I hope they do the wise thing and troll the OCD fans by having it unlock something in the main game.

They should have released the short trailer and announced this demo. Showing people what they're going to get beforehand might just have triggered a wave of negativity about the demo that snowballs into the cancellation of this project.

Making the rescue something like *snap* like that is the most unsatisfying thing to do, especially when the cliffhanger ends like that.

As someone said, they can fumble and end up doing a Raiden, but they can also do it good and make it more of a Zero.

If anything, you people tend to ruin Capcom games for being too much more of the same.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Guess we will have to wait and see on that one, I personally think he is going to come back at the end of the prolouge

I felt like what I saw was gave a decent impression of what the finished product will be like, but I'm also a lifelong Mega Man fan. I liked what I saw, but I also had to use a bit of imagination to get a grasp on what the final version might be like, and in that sense I'm hyped. But Average Joe 3DS Owner paying a couple dollars for this, hoping for a polished little demo or bite-sized game, could potentially just get disgusted and never even bother when the actual game comes out. Just seems like a bad idea to me.

 

[Ahoi-Brause]

Welcome to Megaman Legends 3.
Now with more poochie

 

[Krev]

Maybe they should have just conveyed the gravity of the situation over at Capcom on the blog and started a donation drive.
Might be the more effective strategy.

 

[polyh3dron]

shitty friends, lol

Well I am going to assume this will be released either in May or June, lets see if they can just add a little extra polish or not.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So it's like Dash 3 Case Zero?

I hope we get Dash 3 Case Bonne after the game releases.

 

[Shiggie]

Why is GAF so fucking cynical about a pre-alpha demo? Prejudgment much.?

 

[duckroll]

Do they have any money left to pay employees to polish it up?!

If I remember correctly, the developers said that Mega Man will be playable
