GR-UK writes: Keiji Inafune, one of the men responsible for Capcom classics such as Mega Man and Dead Rising, talks several topics on GRTV after recently leaving the company. Comcept's producer discusses Mighty No. 9's status, a possible Soul Sacrifice sequel, thoughts on the Dead Rising movie, Yaiba's reception, horror games and even memories from Zelda: Minish Cap and crowdfunding advice for Yu Suzuki's Shenmue 3.
Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man 11 are two games that tried to fill a very big gaming hole, and the story behind it all is even more interesting. So which game wore the Mega Man dress better? Jason Capp is here with some retrospective thoughts upon his 2022 playthroughs.
Only tried the demos for both and mighty 9 looked atrocious. Megaman 11 was fun and polished. Never played both full versions but will see it they are on PS Extra when i get home.
Mostly get my megaman fix playing the azure gunvolt games and spin offs. And Maverick Hunter X on my Vita.
Just tried Mighty No 9 again on PSExtra...graphics are atrocious and taking down enemies by dashing into them feels so hollow.
Kickstarter has allowed game developers all over the world to bring their respective visions to life, while AAA Studios remains out of touch.
This is very true. Companies like EA, UBI, MS seem to be disconnected from what fans want.
Um I’m not too sure about that check how well those games sold besides the money they got from Kickstarter they didn’t sell nearly as much as most games from publishers (AAA or not).
The unfortunate reality is these days games like Shenmue 3 and Bloodstained are incredibly niche and the only way it could survive is by use of a fan funded website like Kickstarter.
There are games people hoped would be good. Maybe there was a great developer making it or fun premise. Unfortunately, those things couldn't save these titles.
No Man's Sky had the most disappointing launch after the massive hype.
It also had the best turn around of any game.
Today it is basically a mammoth sandbox/city builder/space sim/casual podcast in the background meditative play. Love it right now.
But you jumped on the hype train without seeing what the game really came with.
Sean Murry absolutely caught up in the hype and talk about future stuff that wasen't there from the start.
But what i was promised before the game came out was an unlimited univers and everybody else was looking forward to just that and nothing else. So he gave us just that..that people could not see the true picture about an Early access kind of game was delusional, it was so clear it was not ready...
CD3, and ff15, maybe shemue 3, I feel are more recent disappoinments than Duke nukem and perfect dark.
Anthem was predicted to be a failure from its beginning especially since the last game Bioware put out was the abomination called Andromeda.
I don't feel like he should blame himself entirely. He's been working on a bunch of projects at the same time.
Please no Seppuku.
I agree. When you attach the name of a well known franchise to a spin off game, fans are going to want it to be like the game it's named after.
Look at games like:
DmC: Devil May Cry
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Metal Gear Rising
These games would have been better off if they were made as original IPs. But because they were part of these franchises, fans compared them to the other games and didn't like them. Especially DmC, which was a horrible Devil May Cry game and sold less than half of what DMC: 4 did in opening.
If you're going to attach a big name to a game, try to keep it close to the original or just create a new IP with a similar concept. Fans don't like when too much is changed.
Yaiba was a decent game but it was a bad Ninja Gaiden game.
I played Yaiba and at first I hated it. But once you maxed your character out and got the hang of the combat it actually became very fun. It was still frustrating as most of the time I couldn't keep up with what the character was doing on screen.
I really enjoyed the * bit throw back that unlocks after you beat the game. That was an awesome gem to have in the game.
I blame tecmo because they suck and got rid of Itagaki. That man's love of Weapons and leather is what made that game. THe first was amazing, and the second was really good too if you could appreciate how awesome the weapons and combat was in that game. THe weapons really were one area where NG2 improved over they first, they were freaking awesome. If you actually give taht game some time and play with all the weapons you will SEE the weapons/combat of NG 1 and 2 will probably never be achieved in a video game again.
I wish we could get a true NG game made by Itagaki, not NG3 with one weapon and crap spinoff that bastardize the NG name.
