RUMOR: Mega Man Legends 3 is still possible

David" of the 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3 Campaign has reported that a Facebook user by the name of "Zeri P Bishop," had supposedly received information from a source within Capcom of possibly reviving the MML3 project. According to Zeri P Bishop, fans may actually still bring back Mega Man Legends 3 into development. The message posted here on 1UP.com has been edited by me, for it is essentially instructions to help get the game back in development, and clarity and understanding is essential. For the Zeri’s original post, see here.

Monster Hunter World 2! Or whatever they decide to call it. Oh, it's going to be massive!

Cacabunga33d ago

Surely something MH related.. now I’m only hoping it’s not a mobile version

CantThinkOfAUsername33d ago

Seems way too far of a target. Their best selling game ever is Monster Hunter World (last reported number in August 2023 is 19 million).

GhostScholar33d ago

I wish I could get into monster hunter. I played world, and enjoyed it at first but I just don’t thjnk the loop of killing the same monsters over and over to upgrade gear fun. If there was more story maybe, but I guess it’s just not for me. Not saying it isn’t good though just not for me.

Profchaos33d ago

Re9 maybe they did say a new re engine had been in development still it's probably to soon

LabRat33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Yeah I doubt it. RE8 only sold around 8 million, which is still good, but I would not expect the 9th to suddenly to skyrocket to 45 million. Plus it is extremely unlikely one will even come out before then.

Kurisu33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

45 million is a lot, and March isn't that far away for something that's unannounced.

EDIT: "The company has sold, in the first half of the fiscal year, 22.6 million units of its video games, but that's only half of its annual target of 45 million units."

^ Ah, that makes sense! I thought that was bloody unrealistic lol

notachance33d ago

also the article stated that the company included games without release date in the unannounced category, so it’s most likely dragon’s dogma 2 instead of a mystery game. March 2024 is only 5 months left afterall..

Plague-Doctor2733d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I doubt theyre expecting DD2 to sell 10+ million copies. The only franchise they could reasonably expect to help make up the 22 million units theyre hoping for in the next 5 months is Monster Hunter. It took 11 years, an expansion, re-releases, and large price drops for DD1 to hit 7 million sold

Abriael33d ago

No, the article states that it *rarely* happens in corporate speech. It's a possibility, but unlikely.

notachance33d ago

idk, it’s a tight window between now and March for an unannounced title to get 10mil+ sales. If we’re excluding DD2 then the most likely series to get a surprise announcement is Monster Hunter especially with the 20th anniversary coming up on March, though I think it’s a bit of a disservice to the series to only get a couple months of marketing.

Megaman Battle Network 7 :D

A new Dino Crisis game would be awesome

ChiefofLoliPolice33d ago

My god yes. Hell is even settle for a remake of the first two.

Dandalandan11733d ago

Ikr? Just imagine how it's going to look with the RE Engine!

Agent7533d ago

Resident Evil is painfully stuck in the dark ages. Another Dino Crisis? That was a Resident Evil clone. Can’t see Powerstone 3 anytime soon. There isn’t anything else I’d like to see from CAPCOM as in a sequel. CAPCOM are scared of new IPs, which is why it churns out endless Resident Evil games.

GotGame81833d ago

The RE remakes were fantastic! Far from the "dark ages". I suggest you play the OG Resident Evil, and revisit your comment. The remakes all scored very well!

Plague-Doctor2733d ago

Street Fighter 6 came out 4 months ago. A new Monster Hunter is in the works. A new Dragons Dogma is in the works. As far as new IP they just released Exoprimal and have Path of the Goddess on the way. RE is also doing more than fine

Profchaos33d ago

I don't feel it is I think it reinvented itself with 7 and 8 going first person and adopting VR brings a lot to the game.
The remakes have felt rather classic re but that's what they were made to be.

Funny thing is when the re franchise tries something new there's always a backlash.
Re3 short sharp game - backlash not the true re 3 etc
Re survivor and light gun games - backlash
Re online games from PS2 and on - backlash again
Re6 - backlash for the action focus
Re 7 - better believe that got backlash for the first person mode
