Inti Creates president twitted about it, he is not happy, lol

https://twitter.com/t_aizu/status/735652527450947584

seems like even inti creates is upset about this. I checked around and the official Gunvolt twitter has rted them before (https://twitter.com/gunvoltofficial) so seems legit?

edit: whoops, old

Jesus Christ now I just feel bad for Inticreates. They didn't even get any input into the trailer? I'm not sure how common that is (probably very common I assume) but man >_<

 

[Sayad]

I guess people don't like awesome things that are awesome!

 

[aadiboy]

The gameplay looks terrible. Enemies just stand around waiting to be absorbed. The whole absorption mechanic should have been scrapped early on in the design process, it doesn't even seem like it has any demonstrable effects. Should have just made it a straight MMX/MM clone, rather than add new things that suck.

 

[Amauri14]

I think that Deep Silver is trying to sabotage this game.

Sega decided to respond to the trailer via Twitter:

Thank God for @sonic_hedgehog!

Looks like somebody's an anime fan.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

"Cry like an anime fan on prom night" Oh snap, HAHAHAHA.
It was cheesy as hell and cringeworthy. I laughed, but all those dislikes.
Trailer was bad.

Sega decided to respond to the trailer via Twitter:

Heh.

At this point, he doesn't want anything to do with this game.

 

[zoukka]

All the dislikes come from anime fans.

It's very common. It's usually the publisher's responsibility to market a game and they'll market it in the way they think works best. They might run it by the developer as a courtesy, but the publisher usually has final say and doesn't need the developer's approval (unless their contract says otherwise.)

Marty O'Donnell was famously fired from Bungie after complaining about the trailers Activision was producing for Destiny.

As for Mighty Number 9, people have been talking about the game all day because of this trailer, so Deep Silver probably considers this a "win."

Targeted ads for this are just perfect

 

[Sayad]

Pretty sure they take likes/dislike ratios very seriously in gauging these things. That and most(all!) those shitting on the game already knew about it before hand, a lot of them were following its progress closely too, they'd have to be really dense to take this as an "all publicity is good publicity" kinda thing.

 

[SeanTSC]

And then you realize that Deep Silver is also publishing Bloodstained, prepare yourself for another horrible trailer.

Oh, I think they're going to learn a lesson from this with the backlash from it. It'd be pretty foolhardy to pull the exact same thing with all the negative reaction.

 

[Giolon]

Related - I was in Akihabara last week and at the Tokyo Animation Center gift shop they had fucking Red Ash merchandise (a 2016 calendar). Inafune the business man!

Trailer looks so bad. I hope it's still fun.

 

[Wagram]

Deep Silver is one of the worst publishers out there. The projects and trailers they approve are what the hell territory.

I dunno about that. I haven't been following the game that closely but all this outrage at the trailer got me to watch it. While I agree with most people that the voice over was cringe-inducing, this is the first gameplay I've seen of it in a long time and it looked okay.

 

[thetrin]

You'd think he'd have some say over its' approval.

I guess not, wow.

They wouldn't need Aizu's approval. He's neither the owner of the IP or the publisher.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Given the buzz about the Kickstarter, this seemed like a good project to back. Of course, DS does seem very hit or miss on a lot of other stuff.

Yeah I watched it without sound and it looked pretty cool.
I must admit though that I am not that invested. It is a game I heard about a year(?) ago and one I might buy when it comes out.

 

[MaLDo]

i remember this concept art getting my hype back in the days.

too bad they couldnt replicate the look of it

Wayforward should have made this game.

Moon Studios.

Imagine Ori visuals, pacing, level design and controls in that concept art.

 

[Breads]

Call me crazy but the game looks pretty fun.

That trailer is bordering on active hostility though. It was agonizing to sit through. What were they thinking.

 

[mikeyvids]

So are we still thinking it was Capcom that killed Megaman or is it looking like Inafune had more of a hand in it?

 

[Chao]

New AVGN game was just featured in a new trailer

 

[MrBadger]

Trailer approaching "you're a squid now" levels of parody

Someone earlier in the thread said if you're going to make fun of our audience, best to do it when they're in a good mood. It's kinda similar to how this went down

I still think this was great. Just like when he showed up in the Mega Man Universe trailer.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

make you cry like an anime fan on prom night

 

[Autosaver]

Can someone explain to me what happened with this game? Inti Creates has made a number of "Megaman style" games before. This game doesn't look radically that different besides the fact it's all rendered in 3D. What's with all the delays?

 

[ArjanN]

I still think this was great. Just like when he showed up in the Mega Man Universe trailer.

Boxart Megaman was great, a lot of the Megaman fanbase was just too salty to appreciate the joke.

 

[Berordn]

Boxart Megaman was great, a lot of the Megaman fanbase was just too salty to appreciate the joke.

It doesn't help that it came on the heels of two big cancelations, but yeah. I thought he was hilarious.

 

[Jebusman]

I still think this was great. Just like when he showed up in the Mega Man Universe trailer.

See the Megaman Universe thing was fine, a nice little throwback to what the old was, and at the time Universe seemed like a real neat concept. It was effectively Megaman Maker. By the way we really need a Megaman Maker.

SFxT Megaman could've gone over well if it wasn't for the fact that Capcom was A. Currently in the process of shitting on Megaman everywhere they could, and B. Dropping the ball real fucking hard on SFxT

 

[Zolo]

Boxart Megaman was great. He just would have been a lot more appreciated at a time when Megaman was actually doing decently instead of being put in a bin.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Wow @ the negativity ITT.

Am I the only one who thinks this game actually looks good? Cute art style and fun Mega Man X style gameplay, haven't had a game like this since Shovel Knight. It'll look good on the Wii U gamepad.

It really reminds me more of Sonic 4 than any Mega Man game.

 

[koutoru]

Can you actually put your face in the game? Is this a backer reward?

 

[Crocodile]

Its a very common backer reward for big Kickstater campaigns. Shovel Knight did it, Bloodstained is going to do it, etc.

 

[MrBadger]

I thought it was funny too, but timing is everything. What I meant was that they put that in SFxT after not putting Mega Man in UMVC3 and after cancelling Legends 3, so what was meant as a funny jab at MM1's terrible box art came off as an insult to the franchise in general.

For what it's worth, Mega Man Powered Up on PSP had a level editor. I remember it being pretty fun but Powered Up sadly isn't available on current gen

[sixteen-bit]

it would be neat if they made it BC on Vita

 

[newtypepilot]

I feel bad for those who backed their kickstarter..

The hits keep coming.

Sonic and the pizza "explosions" is great too.

 

[Onaco]

I gave this trash $60.

 

[KojiKnight]

I feel bad for those who backed their kickstarter..

Why? I don't feel bad for backing it.

 

[Sami+]

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.

Lmao come on dude I skipped my prom to watch Fullmetal Alchemist with a girl that wasn't into me and even I thought that was the only redeemable part of the trailer

 

[Pastor Steven Anderson]

I feel bad for those who backed their kickstarter..

Feeling pretty bad about my $100 USD pledge.

 

[jennetics]

The bad writing doesn't really bother me so much. The game, however, looks really bland. Those explosions looked really bad too.

 

[Ghost Dad the Whip]

What do you want them to comment on?

 

[allenpergallon]

Can you actually put your face in the game? Is this a backer reward?

$2500 tier, I believe an earlier trailer showed Egoraptor's animated persona in one of the stages.

There are 13 other backers in the same tier.

The way it's cut is way better. Hell, if it didn't have copyrighted music on top of it, Comcept/Deep Silver should be contacting this guy to just lift the trailer as is.
