MegaMan Legends 3.
Gotta support this Roll Call.
I still wish MMU came out. Just under Powered Up's art style or something :/

Star citizen with 17 million, which this probably won't come close to topping.
You're going to have to do better than a completely unspecific, unsourced, pretty much useless web site.
If you're going to make such specific claims, you need to give specific costs - how much are people paid on average? How long was the game in development? What kind of extra costs do Japanese companies have that differ from American companies in terms of perks, benefits, and others?
Are you seriously suggesting that an HD Resident Evil game, perhaps Resident Evil 5 and 6, only cost around $3 million to create?
Resident Evil 5 had around 400 people working on it.
Resident Evil 6 had around 600 people working on it.
I....just....you do the math there.

I have my doubts, Mega Man European fanbase is close to zero, and the Japanese fans could be reluctant to use kickstarter.
I'm European and I'm forcing a lot of people with no interest to pledge at least $5.
yea, that KS was insane
Oh wow. That's insane. Glad to see this will be funded though.

I'm leaning towards Mega Man Universe, and it would have to be that or Legends 3. MMU had the community approach going for it as a fresh direction, I think he really wanted to see what fans would do with the level-building stuff. I was really looking forward to it myself.
Yep. I don't think he would be that broken up over a cancelled sequel.
Oh, okay. So much for not relying on old franchises.
Of course, but the point of providing numbers for those blockbuster games is to show just how wildly off-base her suggested numbers are. Even if you reduce costs by an order of magnitude it's still far higher than those suggested numbers.
Game development is not cheap. Japanese game developers don't have magic fairy dust to somehow come in way under American game developers. Japanese game developer salaries aren't different enough to account for such an absolutely massive suggested difference.
Sounds incredibly unlikely but source?

Man, that dinner would be like going on a blind date and finding your psycho ex at the table when you get there.
A cancelled sequel for a 12-year old game that ended on a cliffhanger and that was being made with active participation of the fans.
Contests were made, designs made by fans were used, and then we got a collective "fuck you."

Hope so, and I would love that. I've been hoping fairly hard that Capcom would at least state their public support for this project. Maybe then it could stop feeling so clandestine and reckless, especially considering there is a good chance that stigma is affecting potential pledges.
Yeah, I am aware.
He was actively working on Mega Man Universe, whereas Mega Man Legends 3 was more Mr. Eguchi's project.
It was also basically the followup to Mega Man Powered Up, which is what he said he wanted to do for a while.

And just because this pet project of his probably weighed on his heart the most, that doesn't mean he gives no shits about those Legends fans. He is a game designer, his big new idea got squashed, that is going to cause a little turmoil.
Ugh, I keep seeing this. He is trying to revive a classic franchise in the only way he knows how. He was clearly trying to continue the Mega Man brand while still at Capcom, why would he suddenly change that?

Doesn't Beck's dog kind of look like Zero? lol
The dev room was his idea, that's what he was referring to. He's saying they're making good on what the dev room was meant to do and give fans an active role in it's development.

Well that would be true if Star Citizen got 17m on kickstarter, but it actually got 2.13m
Mighty 9 may well top SC's kickstarter tally.
Huh.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
QFT!
This is one of the best realized KS I've ever seen (granted I don't follow much besides game KS). Also to see Ben Judd and the 8-4 crew... wow. I just wish success on this thing willed with all this good vibes.
If we're looking exclusively at Kickstarter, there's still Torment with 4,188,927 USD.

I remember reading this old interview with Keiji Inafune when he left Capcom, which I found here on GAF, just interesting to re-read in the context of the events of the last two days.

Yeah, don't think this'll top the torment sequel uberhype.

Inafune's leaving wasn't directly caused by either game's cancellation, though I'm sure it helped speed his decision.

Only got $2m of that on Kickstarter.

I want blonde call, simply because it trolls Capcom harder.
Exactly, Star Citizen just continues to take pledges on their website.

Besides Call's name being a counterpart to Beck (Beck & Call), Call could also be a play off of the term "Roll" call, and Beck could be a reference to Jeff Beck, who plays Rock.

Ah really?
Didn't realise that.
Do you think they'll take that track with this kickstarter?
Well, I'm in, and quite highly, although I could be tempted to go higher when we have an idea what the 'other region' versions of the box, manual and t-shirt look like.
Not surprised to hear that the Shovel Knight folks gave them a bunch of advice; this is a seriously polished Kickstarter, and it looks like they've learnt from it.

i think it will slow down once it hits 900k.
also i think the ??? stretch goals may be handhelds like 3DS.

Star Citizen required 20+ million from the start, the Kickstarter initially was only a way to prove interest to investors.
I don't know how much extra money they'd need for this, but I guess it will not be millions and millions. They will probably offer a website pledge for people who want to buy (technically pre-order) the game.

Well this is a dream come true. New Mega Man (sort of) made by Inafune himself? Backed. Inject it straight into my veins, please.
RSI did most of their funding outside Kickstarter during their funding month (kickstarter was an afterthought), in one month they got 6 million in pledges.
On kickstarter Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, Torment and I think DFA are tracking better than this at a glance.

Hmm I don't think they are going to make it guys.
