After Red Ash's failed Kickstarter and Might No. 9 running into more problems. The article looks at whether we can trust Keiji Inafune again?
"Keiji Inafune’s departure from Capcom was a long time coming. It was 23 years in the making to be precise and after creating and moulding the iconic Mega Man, Infune ended up hating his job and believing that he couldn’t influence decisions at Capcom any longer. He left behind an impressive legacy and the character he was most intrinsically linked to."
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.
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.
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 know for sure. But After what happened to Red Ash kickstarter, people seem
Upset a lot.
Enough melodrama, of course we can trust him, he is a legend.
He made ninja gaiden z... that in itself is enough for me to banish him.
Inafune hasn't been the same since he left Capcom. Working for a company with funding etc and many more resources is different to working on tight budgets and resources.
At the moment it seems he not good at handling multiple projects, crowdfunding resources and finances and prioritising.
The quality of the games will know more of if and when they release.
No! he's a money hungry! even we funded mighty no.9 but it still got a lot of problems and even it was not the same when it first announced for kickstarters.
