It was reported just recently by Capcom over on their Unity boards that the highly anticipated 3DS title, Megaman Legends 3, has been cancelled. This cancellation may not seem like a total surprise because many had speculated that this would happen after Megaman Universe was also kicked to the curb once Infanue left Capcom.
If you're a Mega Man fan, you might remember the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 in 2011. While fans were encouraged to show their support for a new entry even after the project had been axed, it's now 2020 and nothing seems to have come of it.
Now, out of the blue, the Mega Man Legends composer Makoto Tomozawa has asked fans on Twitter if they would be up for crowdfunding Mega Man Legends 3.
I'm down for a crowd funding campaign and if this works, hopefully Capcom will open up a crowd funding campaign for Dino Crisis next.
At this point a fan done remake of either of the first two done in UE4,5 or Unity would likely have more to show before a C&D - and Capcom still wouldn't have done anything towards other than the C&D!
Sony should back this up like they did with Shenmue 3. The series started on Playstation and it should end on Playstation.
Establishing a new video game franchise is not easy. You can to create lore, develop strong characters, and continuously craft gameplay that keeps players engaged throughout the series. But some games franchises go dormant, either because their developers or publishers have moved on or simply get canceled. Some games shouldn't remain in the dark, some deserve a new installment. Here are 5 games franchises that deserve a new entry.
I'd love to see a return of Resistance. Once you got over the fact it was supposed to be a "Halo Killer" and just took it at its face value, it was actually a pretty good series. Some ups and downs for sure, but I'd like to see its comeback.
Yeah I agree, Iiked that series and want a ps5 return . I wouldn't mind a new Socom and motorstorm.
Yes! I hope sony starts bringing back some more of their competitive online and co-op games.
I hope they announce a remake first...
Not a lot of people got to experience the series...
And let Bluepoint handle it like the Uncharted collection...
Similar to that collection, the first two games don't hold up by today's standards...
The author should just give up on any ME game, Bioware is pretty much horrid these days. So I don't expect anything good to come out of them any time soon.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
This was always on the cards
Capcom is falling...hard.
A very good article and easy to read... I agree on all points (if I read carefully enough haha)
It happened what can we do now.. Just wait until capcom does something. Megaman should just be sold off to nintendo in my opinion.
As soon as you read this: "It sucks if you are a fan of the game because you are forced to buy the new version in order to keep playing since the communities of the older game become virtual ghost towns" it makes you doubt anything the writer says. This is common irrational gamer thinking that colors anything that comes out of their mouths. You're not forced to do anything. If you want to have a say in video game products the only thing that can really be done is for people to collectively vote with their wallets. Video game fans have made it perfectly clear that they'll buy anything, flaws or not. You made your bed, now you have to lay in it. Video game manufacturers are businesses first. Yes, they need to keep customers, but all the frustration levelled by gamers at these companies is instantly tempered by the fact that they don't stop buying when the BUSINESS does something they don't like. This article writer is part of the problem and if you have any business sense and want to see games change you have to NOT BUY. Sorry for the rant but it really grinds my gears that gamers think they're so smart but still clearly lack the self control needed to influence the industry where it counts.
