Support NeoGAF

[Dark Octave]

No different from Rock and Roll if you ask me!

Call is Roll's counterpart so it makes sense lol

Yup.

This is awesome. If Capcom is going to let Megaman die, what better replacement than the father of Megaman to make something that is the exact same thing in almost every possible way.

 

[GG-Duo]

Did you guys listen to the sample song from the soundtrack? Hype level++

You just blew my mind!


God damn....

 

[TreIII]

Educate me on this GAF but is there a chance this could get a C&D from Capcom? My hate for them could only rise should they try to stop Infaune on his endeavors! He's trying to being the Megaman feel back, something Capcom seems to have forgotten.

In a world where Gameloft exists, the possibility of them being able to do anything seriously about this is slim to nil.

If they really want to do something about it, they should capitalize on the hype in some way...ideally in the form of a new MM game. Clock's still ticking on that 25th anniversary~!

 

[BPoole]

Any know if this is meant to be more like classic Megaman or the Megaman X series? I'm not a fan of classic Megaman but I loved the X series on PS1

 

[Tempy]

Backed at $175 (+$25 shipping). Gotta have my plushie (even though we don't know what it looks like).

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Thread title needs to be updated to $324,000 funded.

I don't think the project would have went forward if that were a possibility. It's not like its hiding the Mega Man relation.

"Thread title needs to be updated to $324,000 funded."

Ain't nobody trying to update that shit every couple of thousand dollars. Chill.

Plus, MegaMan is never mentioned by name except as a project Inafune worked on, which is true. Capcom would have to be nuckin' futs to try and C&D this.

Yep. At this point, I pretty much see it as a new sub series for Mega Man lol

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

so what does Beck & Call mean?

 

[nbraun80]

Backed! . Love me some mega man style games, especially coming from the father himself.

also I love all the backseat accountants who know how much it costs to fund a year and a half project.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

That main theme so fucking good.

 

[Hours Left]

so what does Beck & Call mean?

Ever heard the saying "at someone's beck and call"?

 

[HardRojo]

I don't think the project would have went forward if that were a possibility. It's not like its hiding the Mega Man relation.

Yeah, it's just that present Capcom is so dumb they could try and pull some shit like that, I don't know, I certainly hope they don't.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Ever heard the saying "at someone's beck and call"?

I haven't, but now I've looked it up and it makes sense. Thanks for the tip

"Ready to comply with any wish or command."

yep, thanks!

 

[LiK]

[kairu]

PC only is a turn off for me. If they announce for PS4 im in.

 

[vall03]

Ever heard the saying "at someone's beck and call"?

I've been meaning to ask this since I couldn't get the connection for it, did a Google search and it kinda made sense.

So daily updates then~

...sorry...



Bit over excited...

 

[Coolwhip]

Cool another 2d sidescroller that rips off a famous IP.

I see he worked at capcom, but is it even legal to make a game so similar to Megaman?

Nice try.

He didn't just work at Capcom, he's the father of Megaman.

 

[nbraun80]

definitely, whoever made the famous IP what it is today will be pissed about this I'm sure.

 

[Coolwhip]

Oh I see. But Capcom owns the IP?

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Oh I see. But Capcom owns the IP?

correct

 

[HardRojo]

Oh I see. But Capcom owns the IP?

Yeah, that's why I asked above whether a C&D was a possibility, doesn't seem that likely though.

 

[nbraun80]

Oh I see. But Capcom owns the IP?

yup there was a big fallout and he left. Its basically like myiamoto leaving Nintendo and making a sidescroller where you jump on things to kill them.

With a Greek plumber called Mariu

Good news for Megaman fans then.

 

[Baleoce]

Want. The art looks lovely, and I get the feeling that this is the only way you're going to see a proper Megaman styled game for some time.

 

[LiK]

$330k buddies

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Nothing stops this train. Nothing.

 

[Dark Schala]

I am so freaking excited for this. omg.

Hahahaha

Its great how this comes out on the 25th anniversary of mega man, and a coicidence that i purchased the mega man 25th anniversary art book off amazon yesterday.

Mega man may have died, but his legacy and spirit has live on here.

 

[Kilrogg]

Eh, I find this whole thing really sad for some reason... And I hate what they're doing (and really, what they've been doing for years with other Mega Man games like MM Zero) with the artstyle too. It looks too convoluted, and too much like a manga, when Mega Man and even Mega Man X's artstyle where always more simple, more understated, more neutral.

My old fart's 2 cents.

Maybe its the original vision, that just wasnt possible on NES and SNES.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Those console stretch-goals are unbelievable. Does it really cost that much?

Pretty unwise course for them to choose.

Historically, "look and feel" video game lawsuits are usually not won. Also, there is a precedent for this in Japan. Shouzou Kaga, the creator of Fire Emblem left and made Tear Ring Saga, which was a LOT like Fire Emblem. Nintendo sued and lost, appealed, got some moneys on appeal but failed to block the game, even after another appeal. The ruling that stood was that the similarities were a result of the creator's "style."

Pretty much the same deal here, IMO.

 

[Dark Schala]

A friend of mine was watching the Kickstarter's numbers increase the whole time it was up. He's a pretty big Mega Man fan, so I wasn't surprised at all by his behaviour and genuine excitement for it, especially since lots of familiar staff is working on it.

Totally backed this. I'm so psyched for it.

 

[JDSN]

I wont be shocked if one of the stretch goals involves ditching the Japanese team for some infinitely superior western one (Double Helix).

I cant see myself giving cash to Inafune, sorry. Great pitch video, its the best one by far. Stretch goals are some bullshit tho.

 

[kevm3]

Amazing how there's money available for projects that gamers actually want. Looks like this will clear 900,000 before 5 days are up.

 

[ahm998]

will not support because he make the last stretch goal the Consoles ver.

And it's impossible to reach 2.5 millon !!!

 

[vireland]

Professional console game development is not cheap. Just the *dev hardware* for a relatively small team can run into the 100k ballpark. The main goal and the stretch goals are actually pretty cheap in reality.

 

[kuppy]

Go go go, up to 2.5M, I'm in!
What am I fighting for?!

has the man kicked your puppy or something?

personally I think he wants the console manufacturers to approach him, which in all likelihood they will..

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Backed. Not only do I want to see them make this game, I want to see them escape corporate shackles.

 

[Erekiddo]

He seems like an overall genuine guy.

In for $20.
