Support NeoGAF

[Oni Link 666]

What does Support character mean?

is it like another character we can pick like Zero in MMX4... that would be sick!

I'm wondering about this too. I thought maybe it was the robo dog. Would Rush be consideted a support character?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Just backed it via paypal for a digital version...hopefully I don't have to decide which platform for a while, who knows what I'm going to be playing on most in 2015! But I chipped in to help it hit that Vita version, it'll be nice to have the option. (And I feel good knowing that it'll be on Wii U, Mac & PS4 for sure now).

 

[Oni Link 666]

Awyeah, let's go. No way this game ain't 60fps.

Needs cel shading.

 

[Hours Left]

So far, it's just a single stage and boss.

Still pretty sweet. I'm hoping it will lead to a full-on Call mode.

 

[astarisborn94]

Over 25K in one hours...

Imagine if we get 25K eighteen more hours. That means that we will definitely get the solo Call stage & boss.

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'm wondering about this too. I thought maybe it was the robo dog. Would Rush be consideted a support character?

Yeah, I figured something like that. Something like Flip Top or whatever wouldn't be work-intensive enough to require a stretch goal like that.

 

[x3sphere]

Have they said anything about how this game is gonna work on 3DS? Putting aside the fact that it doesn't support any version of Unreal (AFAIK), the game they showed a clip of is either gonna have to be majorly zoomed in, or it's gonna like like complete crap.

Splinter Cell 3DS used UE2, so the engine does run on 3DS in some capacity.

I don't know what version they're using, but probably not incredibly difficult to downport to UE2 if it's running on 3.

 

[Onesimos]

I'm wondering about this too. I thought maybe it was the robo dog. Would Rush be consideted a support character?

Yes. I would not be surprised if Comcept will have a robot dog as a support character for Mighty No. 9.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Over 25K in one hours...

Imagine if we get 25K eighteen more hours. That means that we will definitely get the solo Call stage & boss.

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

If it keeps up that pace, then they'll need to put up that next stretch goal too. No idea what they could still be adding at this stage.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Yes. I would not be surprised if Comcept will have a robot dog as a support character for Mighty No. 9.

Well, we've seen the dog show up a few times in different concept art pieces. I'm just wondering it that's the support character they're referring to or if it's something else.

 

[jello44]

Still pretty sweet. I'm hoping it will lead to a full-on Call mode.

Yup, same.

 

[Odrion]

Just watch, final stretch goal is a level editor.

 

[astarisborn94]

If it keeps up that pace, then they'll need to put up that next stretch goal too. No idea what they could still be adding at this stage.

At this rate, I'm honestly curious to see what surprises the team has in store for us that hasn't already gotten revealed as part of a stretch goal (or hasn't been revealed through artwork)

@Ordion: Man if that is true... I'm going to be one sad panda for not being able to donate more.

 

[DarkCloud]

Just hit $3,400,000 with paypal added in.

 

[NoTacos]

Just hit $3,400,000 with paypal added in.

That's money right there. Wow.

 

[master_emman]

please reach that 3.5M goal

 

[Fou-Lu]

please reach that 3.5M goal

We're at 3.4 mill with 18 hours to go, it's a lock.

 

[Velcro Fly]

100k in 3.5 hours

Think it's safe to say they'll get another 100k in the next 18.

The real question is can they get 300k in the next 18.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Just watch, final stretch goal is a level editor.

That would make sense. There is precedent for one in Mega Man Powered Up. It would be even better with touchscreen support on Wii U and of course, a mouse and keyboard on PC.

 

[dropbear]

Absolutely crazy the amount of support this is drumming up.

It's great to see. My confidence in their ability to deliver is high.

 

[DarkCloud]

please reach that 3.5M goal

This just made roughly 100k in around 2 hours. The Vita/3DS goal will be reached in the next 3 hours or so easy at this rate.

 

[BoosterDuck]

when and where does the final stretch livestream start?

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Ugghhh... I really want to play this on the Vita, but for all honesty, I'd be kind of pissed if this does not reach that Call stage.

I'd rather get that playable Call (without being Coop) and play it on PC instead than be able to play it on Vita without single player Call. :/

 

[RM8]

This is SO going to happen. I really didn't think it was going to be possible! I was more than okay with PC/WiiU/PS4, but now I'll have it on my favorite platform in addition to those

 

[Rulp]

I am so excited for this game.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Awyeah, let's go. No way this game ain't 60fps.

It's Unreal Engine, so it depends on the platform. It won't be 60 on all platforms.

 

[Raziel]

Didn't even know this was about to end, it could probably attract that much more attention even a tiny bit if it said "less than 24h" or something in the thread title.

 

[nubbe]

I hope they do a publishing deal like inXile did with deepsilver

 

[Ozzykamikaze]

So, is this gonna look like that gif, or more cel-shaded.

I hope cel-shaded.

 

[Busaiku]

This is SO going to happen. I really didn't think it was going to be possible! I was more than okay with PC/WiiU/PS4, but now I'll have it on my favorite platform in addition to those

It's happening!

 

[Oni Link 666]

So, is this gonna look like that gif, or more cel-shaded.

I hope cel-shaded.

Me too. What they showed looks too dark and gritty. It doesn't really match the concept art. It needs some brightly colored anime flavor.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Didn't even know this was about to end, it could probably attract that much more attention even a tiny bit if it said "less than 24h" or something in the thread title.

Someone make it so!

 

[Zalman]

This is SO going to happen.

It's probably not going to happen as a retail release.

Anyway, looks like I'll be getting it on PS4 then.

 

[RM8]

It's probably not going to happen as a retail release.

It'd be so awesome to have a physical 3DS version But that's truly impossible. Honestly, as someone who only goes digital when a game is not available physically, I'm happy that this game exists in any form.

 

[Xater]

Next-gen version has been reached. Now I am happy.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I'm fine with a PSN version of the game on the Vita.

 

[Sanjay]

So I want the 3DS version and a Steam version, which SKU do I purchase?

 

[Busaiku]

Forget that $3.7 million goal.
We need to aim higher.

We have to beat Tides of Numenera.
C'mon guys.

 

[RM8]

Forget that $3.7 million goal.
We need to aim higher.

We have to beat Tides of Numenera.
C'mon guys.

I really can't give any more money until someone confirms the shipping for physical stuff can be tracked

 

[nubbe]

Do we know what the plushie will be?

 

[hairypeckpeck]

crazy how much funding this game has gotten.

just need to hit that vita/3DS goal now!

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Forget that $3.7 million goal.
We need to aim higher.

We have to beat Tides of Numenera.
C'mon guys.

Forget Numenera! We should pull for beating Star Citizen's total crowdfunding of $20mil. 18 hours, we can do this!

 

[MilkyOctave]

I wonder why Single Player Call Stage & Boss stretch goal is $50,000 more expensive than any regular stage & boss stretch goal. Afterall, they are implenting Online Co-Op (for Challenge Mode), so that means Call would have all the basic animations and coding done, anyway.

Nice to see it reached the next-gen console ports goal. Now, all that is left are the handheld ports.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I'm making a new thread just to get the word out. The thread title just can't hold all this info!

 

[Ozzykamikaze]

Me too. What they showed looks too dark and gritty. It doesn't really match the concept art. It needs some brightly colored anime flavor.

Yeah, this. The concept art looks Mega Man X style, and this looks like the new Strider game.

 

[Rhapsody]

Do we know what the plushie will be?

Nope, not yet. It's possible we might not know for awhile until they design enough enemies to figure out which is their iconic looking one out of the bunch.

All we know is just it's an enemy mascot.

 

[IzzyF3]

Unreal Engine?! Ugh. Game better not have any texture pop-in.

 

[Callibretto]

so, I only need to pledge $20 to get Vita version if it reach the stretch goal right?

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Yeah, this. The concept art looks Mega Man X style, and this looks like the new Strider game.

It's just a placeholder. Their aim is to have it look as close as possible to the concept art by the final game.

Also, regarding Strider, it's being called a metroidvania, and they showed off other possible areas in the art. The only one we seen so far is the snowy area. The other areas might actually look different(that tend to be a theme with metroidvanias, including both the mother of metroidvanias, Metroid, and the metroidvania Castlevanias, each area tends to it's own unique look, artistic/structure motif and color scheme).

 

[ShroudOfFate]

What are the chances they have designs worked out for the shirts/game boxes by the time the kickstarter ends?

I think I'm going to go with the NES style box and the Japanese style shirt but I want to see the designs before I commit.
