Did Capcom learn anything from X7 or is this another crap sequel?
I hope it's at least decent.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

I can remember back when this series was on SNES and I was actually interested in the storyline... I imagine it's fallen apart by now.

Did they ever explain who made zero and what his purpose was?

 

[belgurdo]

The demo was fucking impossible. Zero and crew take damage like babies

 

[Pachinko]

Dr wily made zero as the ultimate megaman killing robot apparently. Although has I recall in the first X game he was built by doctor kain. ????

 

[captmcblack]

Looks decent thus far.
Is it all side-scrolling now?

 

[Vormund]

They're up to 8 now? Man I gave up after X3.

X8 = redemption of X7 and total ownage. (possibly)

 

[neptunes]

Do people still buy these games? :|

 

[Ronin]

It looks like ass and the vids I saw were boring as shit.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Do people still buy these games? :|

I can't imagine it, but I suppose they do. It looks pretty boring. Maybe only the really hardcore Mega Man fans care about this series anymore. I just expect the games to suck now...sad but true.

:raises hand:

 

[RevenantKioku]

Do people still buy these games? :|

Yes.
*hangs head in shame*

 

[cvxfreak]

Why isn't this a GC game again?

 

[Docpan]

Haha, you're actually expecting improvement?

XD

 

[cvxfreak]

^WE CAN HOPE!

 

[M3wThr33]

X7 was only because of Sony pressure.
Capcom went easier this time because MML actually turned out to be a good series. This time they're going the VJ route.
Hopefullty it'll play closer to X4. X5 was too easy and X6 is a bit tougher. X4 was right in the sexy middle.
(I'm a goddamn fucking Megaman whore, so I'll get it no matter what)

 

[TheGreenGiant]

3d? fucking hideous. Nuff said.

Why ISN't this on gamecube? The MMCE sold pretty much neck to neck on PS2 + GC (installed base difference not withstanding)

 

[belgurdo]

3d? fucking hideous. Nuff said.

After X4 the 2D wasn't lookin' much better, so dont' hate on that angle, bud

 

[MadOdorMachine]

I'll pick it up too. I played the demo and it seemed like old school side scrolling MegaMan with 3D graphics, kind of like Contra:SS or Mega Man:NT. The graphics were nice from what I saw and it looks to return the series more towards it's roots.

 

[Soul4ger]

Why isn't this a GC game again?

IDEOSY! (The "Hideos" version of "Idiocy" )

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Why is this series still getting new entries?!?!

Fixed.

 

[sprsk]

the demo for this game is out you guys.

(it fucking rocks)

 

[MoxManiac]

It looks good, it seems to be going back to it's roots, so I don't see the problem.

 

[Shouta]

X7 wasn't that bad. It was solider effort compared to X5 and X6. The only things I can blast against it were the short levels. Some of the boss battles were quite nice.

Let's hope X8 improves even more.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Where's the demo? Latest OPM?

Edit: Never mind, MM Command Mission, I see.

 

[ourumov]

The screens look sexy...at least to me. I think the last X I played was X6...

i believe its the new jampack volume

Not even the hardcore thinks X7 was anywhere near decent. Easily the lowest point in the series. The only thing good that came from it was the OST.

 

[Shouta]

The "hardcore" also means diddlysquat =b.

 

[Escape Goat]

As far as I'm concerned, Mega Man died when it left Nintendo.

 

[hiryu]

I'm probably one of the few people that loved X7 so I can't wait for X8.

 

[Ranger X]

Was X7 with 3D graphics too? To lazy to go find out

Anyway, i'm all fine with Megaman Anniversary Collection. I'm not even near completing each Megaman games on this one.
