Support NeoGAF

[clem84]

Hopefully it gets added to the 2.5 million tier XD

There are two other mystery goals. Vita version might be one of them.

 

[jacobeid]

Put in $20. Really hoping for a PS3/Vita version.

 

[Xater]

I am definitely amazed that Capcom has not immediately threatened them. But I am certainly glad. I ponied up my $20 yesterday as well.

I'm terrible at Mega Man games, but I love the fact that Inafune is still trying to give the people what they want, in as best a way as he can.

Why? Because it looks similar? If it's a style f an artist you can't make him change that. There is also nothing they can do about the gameplay part. if that would have been something you could take legal actions for thee would be no other FPS games then the ones from id.

 

[Fireblend]

it supposed to be very easy porting from PS3 to Vita no? so if they hit the consoles goal and got a PS3 version going then a digital Vita version will be like extra free money for them.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will all be bending over backwards to have this game on their console in a matter of weeks if they're not already in talks to do just that. I really wouldn't worry about even reaching the console stretchgoal.

Anyone else notice an increase of pledges after hitting the goal? I think it's doing a little over 20k per hour pretty consistently right now. Let's hope it keeps up so by the end of the day it hits the 1.1 mark. Maybe we can even get the two extra stages today!

 

[qq more]

Huh wow yeah, it definitely picked up...

I guess it's because yesterday was Sunday

 

[Fuu]

Real happy the PC version is already funded. Hopefully it reaches the stretch goals in the following days. Making of documentary would be great, I'm catching up on DF's and 2 Player Productions does a good job.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Hahaha, Dyack must feel like such shit right now. You see this is what happens when the community trusts and loves a developer.

 

[Gartooth]

Wouldn't be surprised that in the scenario we don't get 2.5 mil to fund console versions, to see Sony step in and fund PS3/PS4 ports themselves.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Why is there a post that shits on Dyack in every page lol? Did I miss something?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I want to play this on my ps3. I have faith that the game will get 2.5 - 3 million funded.

 

[Xater]

Wouldn't be surprised that in the scenario we don't get 2.5 mil to fund console versions, to see Sony step in and fund PS3/PS4 ports themselves.

PS4 and Vita seems likely with their recent love for indie titles and this would also be a prestige game to have. We already heard about Sony lending out PS4 dev kits for free I can see that happening gain.

 

[Himself]

I really want this. If it gets near the console stretch goal, I'm chipping in.

 

[Niwa]

I can't wait for my signed artbook. Oh god.. OHFISASDIJSAOFSAJD THIS IS MY DREAM KICKSTARTER!

 

[Atrarock]

Just pledged $20 myself, I am very hopeful right now.

 

[Urahara]

People who are sick of MM might not support this, you know.

Some people would fund this, though, due to spite. Never underestimate spite.

 

[FLAguy954]

ironically, based on the concept art, I think a 3DS version probably seems less and less likely as they get more money... the 2.5D concept would likely only fly if they exceeded their goals, and I don't think that would run on a 3DS.

Don't underestimate the 3DS. It could totally run the game ala Mighty Switch Force/HD (where one version uses pixel art and the other high resolution assets).

 

[epmode]

Star citizen made most of its money after it's kickstarter campaign (which was only $2.1 million USD), and has been doing so for close to 9 months now, iirc.

FYI, the Star Citizen Kickstarter ran in conjunction with a campaign on the game's official site. Both combined pulled in over $6M by the time the initial campaign ended, although it ran for longer than 30 days.

 

[Cmagus]

Since it will be a downloadable game it would be cool if we could choose the version we want if it hits the 2.5 mil goal. I'd take a PSN version over PC personally. Glad it is funded though I can't wait to play it. I'll prob bump my contribution to the $60.00 one by the end.

 

[eXistor]

Nicely nice! 2.5 million here we come! Pledged for the boxed version myself. I hope Capcpom takes note and sees there is a demand for these games. This isn't even an official MM game and it's doing pretty great already.

 

[Xater]

Don't underestimate the 3DS. It could totally run the game ala Mighty Switch Force/HD (where one version uses pixel art and the other high resolution assets).

This is a 3D game not a 2D one. (I mean the engine not the gameplay)

 

[Jrs3000]

Don't underestimate the 3DS. It could totally run the game ala Mighty Switch Force/HD (where one version uses pixel art and the other high resolution assets).

Not only that but it would sell like hotcakes. Day 1 purchase if I can have this on the go.

 

[kunonabi]

Really happy to see this get funded. If it gets within shouting distance of a Wii U release I'll pitch in myself.

 

[Fireblend]

This is a 3D game not a 2D one. (I mean the engine not the gameplay)

The 3DS can handle 3D games pretty easily. You're seriously underestimating it. Look at Castlevania or DKCR.

And you know, the fact MML3 was originally intended for release on 3DS, and afaik that was a 3D game.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

The consoles goal is ridiculous, if 250000 can get you a documentary I guess developing on 3 more platforms is 500000.

But whatever, I'll buy this not-Megaman when it hits Steam

 

[mrmickfran]

Sonic Lost World is an even better example:

[RM8]

Plus, you know, they can tone down the graphics

 

[Devilgunman]

I really wish other Japanese dev will follow Kickstarter trend. We might eventually see revival of traditional jrpg.

 

[SturokBGD]

Huh. I've had no Internet for a couple of days. Been passing the time with Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. Got back online to discover Inafune not only started a Kickstarter for a new not-Mega Man, it got funded already. Good times!

Haha @ Capcpom.

 

[Deques]

More than halfway to the 1.5m stretch goal

 

[Refyref]

Renegade Kid is even offering to help them with a 3DS version.

[Kyzon]

I'll be backing as soon as I get paid. I want to submit an enemy design for them.
Seems fun.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Wait, what's with the Dyack posts? Did he attempt a kickstarter recently?

 

[RM8]

Please someone tweet this to Inafune, mentioning Renegade Kid is a Western developer!

 

[antibolo]

I hope that Capcom tries (and fails) to shut it down. The negative PR that will result from the incident will take them years to repair.

Burn, Capcom, burn.

 

[Gintoki313]

Wait, what's with the Dyack posts? Did he attempt a kickstarter recently?

2 times already and failed. He said he's shooting for a 3rd time (iirc).

 

[Berordn]

Wait, what's with the Dyack posts? Did he attempt a kickstarter recently?

A couple that both ended far below their targets.

 

[Burai]

People gave 900k$ and keeps giving money for something that is Mega Man in everything but the name. Peope are saying "Yes, we want a new Mega Man." with their wallets.

If Capcom doesn't react to this in any way, they are bigger idiots than I thought.

The problem is that the scale this project is operating on and the nature of the funding doesn't translate to a large publisher. The $900k figure is off the table for a start as they'll want XBLA and PSN at a bare minimum, plus they'll also want to make a decent profit and everyone in the chain needs to get paid. You're looking at $3-4m to make this work for an actual publisher and that's a lot for them to be putting up front for what is a risky franchise and concept.

I'm really glad we have Kickstarter now so that a) the fans can really put their money where their mouths are and b) indie developers can make the projects they really want to make without publishers who aren't just unwilling but in many cases unable to fit a project like this into the scale of their business.

 

[Final Boss]

There has to be a PS4/Vita version

 

[DukeTogo1300]

*yawn...stretch*

Holy crap, funded! And already closing in on a million!

 

[MicH]

This looks amazing. I really hope we get the consoles stretchgoal!

 

[disap.ed]

Meanwhile at Dennis Dyacks office...

You don't joke about this

I find it actually quite depressing and can only imagine how PCG's devs feel about it.

 

[Ran rp]

lol

 

[Degen]

I wonder how many people are pitching in just to give a F-U to Capcom in general

 

[pariah164]

lol

LOL wow. Really?

 

[qq more]

lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[razoftblend]

Wait, what's with the Dyack posts? Did he attempt a kickstarter recently?

His second kickstarter failed to meet the goal even after a lower goal. Technically, it was the third, but the second one got cancelled. The game was Shadow of the Eternals. This second kickstarter was asking for ~700k and didn't even reach half of it.

 

[Xater]

The 3DS can handle 3D games pretty easily. You're seriously underestimating it. Look at Castlevania or DKCR.

And you know, the fact MML3 was originally intended for release on 3DS, and afaik that was a 3D game.

Looking what systems they aim for it would need to be downscaled significantly. Also Castlevania runs like shit.

 

[Brainiac 8]

lol

Urk, this still makes me so very angry.

 

[Refyref]

Please someone tweet this to Inafune, mentioning Renegade Kid is a Western developer!

The Twitter account said they'll forward it to the devs.

 

[weevles]

But did fans really back cap com with mml3?
