Inafune about the Mighty No 9 launch and reception:
>"Well, it's better than nothing."
Is he right /v/?
>>342222114
I've backed the project so they could complete their project and as of yet it's not even completed.
Guess I paid 20 bucks to have years worth of rage and laughter .
>>342222297
You could have just paid nothing and had even more years of laughter.
For example, right now I am laughing at you.
>Unfortunately, we do have two pieces of bad news regarding the Mighty No. 9 release. There were issues regarding the publishing process for the Xbox 360 version of the game, and a certification bug was found in the final round of testing which is delaying the release of that version for several days. Our team has already re-submitted the build to Deep Silver (and to Microsoft), and we expect it to go gold within a few days if all goes according to plan. For the backers who chose that platform we are supplying Steam keys so that those users are not left behind on release day. Once the Xbox 360 version is ready for release we will send out those codes to the relevant backers ASAP.
>
>The Mac/Linux Steam builds of the game are also in final testing by Deep Silver. These two versions of the game should be ready within a few days as well. We will keep our backers updated as the situation evolves.
Friendly reminder he snuck in ONE LAST DELAY.
Mighty No. 9:Keiji Inafune::Daikatana:John Romero

but did Romero learned from his mistake ?
Mediocre score 60 more like
>>342222114
>"Well, it's better than nothing."
The absolute worst thing you can say.
>>342224296
"I mean, at least it doesn't crash, right? You can start it up and play... you know."
>>342222389
All PSN codes also don't work
So there is more delays to come
>>342222297
You backed it for $20, how much does the game actually cost on steam?
>>342222114
nothing wouldnt have been a waste of 3 million
>>342224587
4 million, anon. 4.

>"I-its not like I want it to be 2016 GOTY anyway"
Kek, I can hear the sad pepe behind that respond. The NipponJew deserve it.
>>342224872
I want to see Inafune cry on stream
>>342222114
>Inafune about the Mighty No 9 launch and reception:
>>"Well, it's better than nothing."
Seriously?
Did he say this? Where?
>>342222114
The absolute lack of shits Inafine gave about M9 is laughable, what a fucking con man.
>>342224296
What else CAN he say? the game functions fully while also being mediocre as fuck. It's not necessarily bad just unbelievably generic and inoffensive.
>yfw you didn't back this
More like Mighty Number 2
>>342225094
>>342225094
>>342224872
God damn look at those titties. I hate when people post this image because it makes me forget about what they're trying to say
>>342222114
Well this is a fitting end to the whole saga
Anyone who backed this and didn't ask for a refund years ago has nobody else to blame.
>>342225094
THANK YOU CON-MAN
>>342223378
>::
Is this some american's "new way to learn maths" meme??? Civilized countries use "=".
>>342225094
Someday this game will be like 5 years behind us and I will still look back and feel smug as fuck that I didn't support this.

It's 20 Euros here.
>>342225243
>fitting end
Yup. Not even out with a fucking bang, it's DOA.
I bought it on Nuuvem for $4 and it isn't even worth that
Honestly, game is okay. Pirate it if you're into megaman.
>>342224319
Doesn't the Wii U version brick the console?
>>342225527
Why would I disgrace my PC with this garbage if I can play Gunvolt and have an actual good Mega Man game to play instead?
I'm just sad that megaman is probably never coming back. After this blunder nobody is gonna even try
>>342225912
Who gives a fuck? Only manchildren care about muh mega man
>>342222114
>"Well, it's better than nothing."
This should really be the kickstarter slogan.
>>342225094
>>342225896
Play it, I'm just saying that MN9 is okay, if you want it that much.
>>342226046
What kind of super serious games do you play anon?
Wow. That's just being a dick.
>>342226086
Wasteland 2
Torment 2 (early access build)
Chivalry Medieval Warfare
Divinity Original Sin
Kingdom Come Deliverance (what I've played at least)
Shadowrun Returns/Hong Kong

The Banner Saga

Star Citizen

All Kickstarter/crowdfunded games friend :^)
>>342226086
not a bad slogan, really.
a lot of games wouldn't have a leg to stand on if not for kickstart. if we accept that some of those games might not be very good, our expectations won't be as high.
topkek
>>342226309
Let's shrink that list down to actually good games:
Grim Dawn
Darkest Dungeon
FTL
Wow, a lot more compact now!
>>342226309
>Star Citizen
>Take a massive shit
>photograph it
>send photograph out to all backers
That's the quality of "better than nothing". He could have wiped his ass with some of that 4 million too.
>>342226486
>Only games I like meme
Wow, a lot more autistic now!
>>342226525
I guess you missed the memo where Star Citizen is actually good as of 2.4
>>342226486

>securing its $900,000 target in just two days of donations, with the final amount coming close to four million dollars from over 67,000 backers.
What the actual fuck?
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?
Meanwhile, 360 owners still can't play it.
Man, at this point it's not even funny anymore.
>>342226618
>he not only backed Mighty No. 9 but also Star Citizen
LOL
>>342226309

Please.
Mfw i didnt back this. He bricked my friends wii u with the game lol
>>342225094
>>342222114
3d models ruin everything on a side scroller.
prove me wrong
>>342226632
Why wouldn't he? It's been delayed so long, that reviews don't really even matter anymore, they made millions, and he's gotten several new deals out of it.
Inafune is back in business, which is all he cares about I'm sure.
>>342226486
That's still 2 more "actually good games" than standard publishing has brought is in that same amount of time
>>342226309
Too bad Star Citizen isn't even out and looks like it's going to be another huge con.
>>342226701
What? I didn't back Mighty No 9, I'm the guy that got it on Nuuvem for $4 and regret that
Star Citizen has been well worth my $30, I've been having loads of fun with my friends doing missions in persistent universe

>>342226673
Into Inafune's pocket.
He wasn't really involved at all with Megaman right? Just sold himself as such?
>>342226263
Dark Souls
>>342226947
I refuse to believe Diablo 3 was in the making for 11 years
Maybe they thought about it 11 years ago, then scrapped it and later came back to it
Have you thanked your con man today /v/ ??
>>342226742
So many sidescrollers on the literal ancient Playstation proved you wrong already.
>>342226840
>looks like it's going to be another huge con.
People keep saying this, but I don't understand why.
They've shown progress every step of the way. Once they release the Squadron 42, they'll have delivered on all their Kickstarter promises. Everything beyond that will be extra shit that they never made any guarantees on.
>>342222114
>Is he right /v/?
he fucked 4 millions in the ass of all backers, and will continue to fuck people who will buy it in the ass.
of course he is right

Praise jesus
Thank you anon
>>342226947
>>342227020
>Maybe they thought about it 11 years ago, then scrapped it and later came back to it
Yeah, they scrapped the original, Blizz North left, and they probably went through several builds.
Same thing with all the games on that chart most likely.
>The falling towers and beyond of Might No. 1's stage
FFUCK
>>342226632
I'm 100% sure he realized this a long time ago. Probably why he's so interested to do a sequel. To make things right. He probably won't make things right though.
>>342226673
>>342226985
4 mil isnt that much game dev wise
In during pizza explosions
>>342227020
Diablo stopped and started development like 3 times, but Diablo 3 in its current form today began in 2005 so that's 6 years.
>>342227101
I know, all I'm saying is even Call of Duty has a 3 year dev cycle so I'll give Star Citizen 5-6
>>342225094
I'm poor as fuck anyways.
>>342225437
The game brick the Wii U. I would never pirate that shit in the 3ds
How do I fix the no save problem on PC
>>342227140
It's more than plenty for a 2.5d platformer, better and more complicated games have been done with less dev time, smaller teams, and smaller budgets.
>>342227342
It's a feature.
>>342227342
Consult theUninstall Wizard
>>342226673
Don't forget, Inafune also had fundraisers on his site for voice acting and DLC.
post yfw you didn't back anthony burch
Can you imagine the shitstorm when Star Citizen is finally out in 2030 after having taken in 200 million in crowdfunding and it's underwhelming?
kek
glad i didn't back that abortion
at least the guys that spend their kickstarted funds on blow and hookers got something out of it
I think you can get a key from brazillian sites for like 4bux if i ever get a morbid fascination with ugly obnoxious cartoon boys
>>342226845
Dropping by to say that quantity is not indicative of quality and that SWG had a serious problem with completely unbalanced class design.
>>342226309
>legend of dungeon
are you fucking kidding me? that game is fucking TERRIBLE faggot
>>342227140
it actually is for the style and genre
not to mention the years of industry experience they had to hand compared with your average indie dev's first outing
>>342227627
>pissy that a game has been in dev for three years
>MN9 was looking like it was going to be a bad game

i gotta give it to the Conman, he basicly made a "ideas kikestarter" project and managed to bag over 4 million bucks
but to this day i can't tell if he is smart or people just being sheep
>>342227725
>look on steam
>overwhelmingly positive
Yeah okay
It's bricking WiiUs? For fucks sake.
That's just inexcusable.
>>342227743
Even Kojima's dogshit of an empty open world game took 6 years, with actual production on the Fox Engine beginning in mid 2010
>>342227521
>>342227749
I haven't seen a single person who is shocked over the quality, just disappointed they backed it in the first place.
Once this trainwreck is done crashing, turn your eyes to this

>>342227969
Yeah this one is even worse looking than MN9 honestly. They should have NOT shown that.
>>342227743
I thought it's been 4 years?
And still, games generally have a lot more to show with a 4 year dev time.
I backed $250 on this project and I regret it....
>>342228009
>pre-production of a cinematic/design documents for the Kickstarter now counts as being in development
Whatever you say anon, but the studios weren't staffed and operational until mid-2013
This is history, boys. For years to come this game will be the punchline of countless jokes
>>342227140
There's indies out there with a budget of coffee and depression that look better and are better than this game.
>>342228074
Show me an MMO that had more to show than Star Citizen 3 years into development
Something recent. Not Everquest back in 1999 which was done in 3 years
>>342228240
>Concept design isn't game development
Okay there, shill. I'm looking forward to the disappointment.
>>342227749
Considering the depressed look? I think he is just not game producer material.
You guys realise there are people who backed this project with enough money to earn that "Dinner with THE MAN, THE LEGEND, INAFUNE"?
I wonder what would anybody that had that chance would say to him
>>342225094
>never backed any kickstarter ever
feels fucking great to pay for something and then get it the next instant.
>>342227792

You learned your lesson fellas? Never donate anything.
>>342228415

Idiots, all of you
I'll put up $20 towards any project that has something decent to show, because I've had a significantly higher success rate with Kickstarter games than the stuff the AAA industry has shat out lately

Yeah i'm pretty mad about that, was gonna play it on there to pass the time until i can afford xbone
Is there any word on how long the delay will be?
>>342228724
As a megaman fan, I have to say
Mighty No. 9 is actually fun
I am sitting around 50% disappointment with shit I've backed from kickstarter, I don't know why anyone would have any expectations and keep up with development on anything anymore
I'd rather go in expecting nothing and be pleasantly surprised than see a promising project sink lower and lower for months and years
Japanese devs are so bad these days, holy fuck.

>Shovel Knight

the rest of those are meh to downright awful
I have literally only backed a single kickstarter so far: Yooka-Laylee
So far I'm happy, it seems to be coming along great.
In retrospect however I would have also backed Pillars of Eternity and FTL as well as Darkest Dungeon.
>>342228963

It's all about management. 4 million goes a long fucking way.

Not him but I did get my code, but I got 2 wrong DLCs keys instead of the Ray DLC key, still waiting to see if they'll fix it, otherwise I won't even bother installing.

>>342229364
>Overwatch is a cinematic experience
Can't wait for recore
>>342229256
I played a fuck ton of CapCom games made by Inafune and I never fell for the meme.
I was incredibly skeptical of him actually making this game good. He effectively killed Mega Man and made a worse Dead Rising 2 than a Vancouver studio did (in which they actually put in a mode people wanted Free Roam).
It's neo/v/ they like shitty games like Overwatch and unironically and hypd this game and funded it.

What? Inafune only worked on the first Dead Rising.
>>342229496
Oh man my memory sucks. Regardless it looks 10x better, no exaggeration.
>>342229317
HLD looks nicer than it plays. I still beat it but it felt a bit hollow.
I'd add Amplitude to that list. The whole management of the project was a fuckup and people are only now getting their physical rewards now (6 months after the game came out) but at least the game was good. Pretty much exactly what the people wanted.
Of course, he's already got everyone's money.

>>342222297
I paid $15 and I'm glad I did.
For one, it's funny to see just how incompetent a dev team can be and be part of the problem. The highs were high, and lows were even lower, and it was glorious.
For two, it was also a good precautionary tale for future crowdfunding games. Yooka-Laylee had a proof of concept before the kickstarter was kicked off, and when Bloodstained had a similar issue with the art style, they decided to come up with different options for the fans to choose instead of just rolling with their original choice. I feel like MN9 helped these decisions because no one wants to look like that. Sure, we'll still get the Indivisible and Shenmue 3, but I think MN9's disaster will prove better in the long run for aspiring crowdfunding projects.
And for three, I only paid $15. I don't feel bad about $15 that I spent 3 years ago. Now I'd be telling a different tale if I spent hundreds or thousands, but that's not my problem.
Dont give a fuck. When does the Red Ash circlejerk start?
>>342229973
>I paid $15 and I'm glad I did

Actually, I'd rather have nothing and get my money back.
Aaaaaaaaaand it's delayed on Xbox 360
>>342225094
>>342227140
It's true that nowadays, 4 million isn't a whole lot to work with.
But on the flip side, there's tons of better looking, better playing indie games and crowdfunded games that barely got even a fraction of what MN9 got. I think that's the big deal here.
Be fucking glad it turned out mediocre. If it was good, you'd have to apologize.

gaiz i cant dload it from my steams is my code broken
>>342230175
It was confirmed to be shit ever since the download leaks like an year ago, which was the game 95% completed
The kind of funny thing about Mighty no. 9 was that before the Dash-and-Shoot gameplay was unveiled, I was planning on incorporating similar mechanics to the game I'm working on. Though my idea was for absorbing bullets to recover health or something, not for killing off enemies.

I think he already got used to Platinum games flopping.
>>342230347
Yeah, I got the price wrong. Looking back, it was $20. Still, that's how little it means. I ain't no richfag, but $20 isn't something I'm gonna miss.Now Bloodstained on the other hand better be good. I would miss $60.
Is the bricked Wii U thing actually confirmed? Is there any proof?I'll take anecdotal evidence at this point this meme is too good
>>342227969
Apparently their hold up is no programmer or something because he was working on his own game.
>>342230363
>Because they did it shit, I can't do it better
Said no one ever.
What you describe sounds like Ikaruga anyway.

Inafune got paid and he probably pocketed a good amount of leftover money, because there's no way $4m was actually spent on this pile of hot garbage.
He doesn't give two shits about what happens, he's a scam artist. He's onto the next bigger and better thing and he'll come into money yet again because the average "gamer" has an attention span of 15 seconds.
>>342230585
Yeah, Ikaruga is an obvious inspiration there, but I didn't want to ape the polarity mechanics. There's already a platformer that does it.
>>342229973
You could have seen how incompetent they are and gotten years of drama and laughter out of it without paying a cent, too.

Far, far more shit went on over at the backer forums than what you can glean from what's posted on /v/.
It was a fucking non-stop PR nightmare. I would honestly wager that at least 1/4 of all backers who post there were banned by the end of development. One in four fucking people.
>>342227636
Same here. So glad I backed Shantae, and not this. I fund Shantae, and what does Wayforward to, but add a mermaid level to the game, which has been a fetish of mine since I saw Little Mermaid for the first time at the age of four.

Paying people for so much longer than originally planned can add up. And embezzling money is actually pretty hard to do. He mismanaged the fuck out of it, but I dont see any evidence he committed outright fraud

You're not implying this trash was good, right?

If you worry about aping mechanics you'll never make anything. Just go for it, I've more faith in a random indy developer than Shitey No.2.

Yep those are video games funded by Kickstarter.
Bunch of fucking games that suck.

By rights you should all have cried havoc.

I backed Bloodstained and it looks exactly like I was hoping for; Igavania in 3D.
>>342225094
I come to every thread just for posts like these. Goddamn this is funny

This was inevitable. It's like a Greek tragedy: you know how it'll play it out but you love watching it unfold.

I never was the biggest megaman fan so I didn't know who the fuck Inafune was when the kickstarter cropped up.
So I looked it up and found out that he was actually really minor in the grand scheme of the megaman, didn't take on bigger roles until later in the franchise, and really had little to do with what made the classic games (which he was trying to emulate) as good as they were.
And then I looked further and found out that his recent history with Capcom was sketchy, he constantly denounces the japanese vidya industry and praises the western industry, etc.
And so I found it reasonable to doubt his intentions from the very beginning.
Even then I never figured everything would turn out to be the hilarious shitshow that it was, however.
>"The reality is they put everything into making this game,” Inafune said. “So, for now, this is what you see and what you get, for the Mighty No. 9 world. But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there'll be sequels.And at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing. At least, that's my opinion."
I played all the main series Mega Man games last year and loved them. After finishing 10 three times though, I knew there was no where else to go with the series. It was done, and should have remained done.
What is it with videogames where people just want to beat a dead horse? Sometimes you just have to move on.

nice
>>342226309
yep, "it's better than nothing"
Is this game better than Mighty Gunvolt at least?
>>342231624
I steered clear of the Mega Man franchise when it was relevant because they were all exactly the same and there was a new one every fucking year. It's always been a creatively bankrupt series that doesn't excel at anything. It's mediocre as a platformer, it's mediocre as an action game, it's mediocre as a run 'n gun, etc. It's a shit franchise that was only ever beloved because of dumb kids too stupid to know any better who continued to support the series in its millions of iterations due to blind nostalgia, and it's sad that it took slapping a new name on it to get people to realize that it's shit.
>>342231624
Outside of Shovel Knight, not many games have really scratched my action platformer itch since Mega Man 10. They don't necessarily have to be Mega Man clones, just good platformers in their own right.
>4 million dollars game
>the intro is just a picture with a horrible voice acting
will people ever going to trust kickstarter games again ?
>>342225070
>What else CAN he say?
Exactly that he's sorry for the screwups without trying to save face?
>>342231691
Mighty Gunvolt is fun though.

Inafune was assigned to the original game's dev team as an illustrator, and his main contribution was the original character designs.
He had little if anything to do with the actual game design, even in the earliest days of the franchise.
