SCEE's PlayStation 20th Anniversary microsite uses Smash for's Mega Man render

The thing that's bothering me the most is that Mega Man's little info panel brings up Mega Man 8:

Why didn't they just use the art of the character from the cover?
 
Lol Big Daddy. Why does that douce character get some much love from Sony? Trico should of been there or some other important character. Maybe Mecha Sweet Tooth.
 
It's Capcom's character. Why would it be dangerous?

And this picture is messy and bad. Why is Ratchet and Jak & Daxter all the way in the back? Where is Kratos? Where is Parappa? Why are all of their Japanese IPs either not there or hidden? Why are insignificant or characters with no history taking up so much space, like the Watch Dog guy? lol

Why are Jak and Daxter so far apart from one another? Same with Ratchet and Clank.
 
Lol, amusing that Lara Croft is at the forefront while Ryu is at the back surrounded by a bunch of nobodies.

I guess even Sony knows which franchise is bigger!

I'm just joking, I would buy one Xbone for SF5 but I'm absolutely not getting one for TR. Just thought this was funny.
 
Well it's not as though megaman hasn't been on PS consoles. What's the problem?

You just answered the problem. They're using a likeness from a game that's not on their console, instead of from one of the several Mega Man games from Sony's console.

If Nintendo was to use say an image of Banjo Kazooie for it's imagery, would they use Banjo and Kaoozie how they looked in the n64 games or the nuts and bolts versions from xbox 360?
 
I think you guys are putting more thought into this than whatever intern hacked this together in Photoshop did.

The hyperbole in the OP is great though; really, really, really dangerous!
 
lol look at the progression of character design over the years from left to right.

Not that I have a problem with realistic looking characters but wouldn't mind more of the style from the left making it to the right.
 
Don't see the issue with Mega Man.

Pretty cool though. It's nice to able to click on characters I don't recognize and see what game they're from.

edit: No Freedom Wars characters? :I
 
Capcom probably hasn't made new renders for ages, let alone knows he really exists. I don't really see a problem with using that render as it's the newest one, and does a good job of showing the character. I'm sure Sony got permission to use it (either from Nintendo or Capcom), so there's really no harm, imo.
 
Thread title wants to focus on Mega-man. Thread posts focuses on the other characters in the pic.

That's A LOT of characters :)
 
Why is Crash Bandicoot tucked away off to the side and that guy from last of us and nathan drake are front row center? they look like fucking clones.

Im seriously shocked that Sony even acknowledged the existence of Colony Wars in that photo. That's gotta be a first for Sony.

Also lol at Chie from Persona 4 being there but not the main character from any Persona games
