Why would a company think its a good idea to poke fun at the majority of their fanbase?
>MN9 thread
pizza pizza
>>340347338
Blame Deep Silver. They made the trailer
Make em cry like a MN9 backer on release day.
>>340347338
They were going for a self-deprecating joke but fucked it up.
Shit trailer, but would you say it succeeded it getting people to talk about the game at least?
Who was in charge of approving this trailer?
>>340349034
It got people talking, but probably not in the way they wanted. Even Polygon called it shit.
>>340349197
Probably the same person that hires the community managers.
>>340349383
>Even Polygon called it shit.
Is there anyone who didn't?
What's the matter? Has the goobygabber filled up his diaper? Need mommy to come change it for you? goo goo gaa gaa
>>340349562
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiills.
>>340349665
I know its bait but its still funny that tumblrinas actually talk like this.
>>340349665
Dina pls go.
>>340349562
Not counting blind fanboys or people like >>340349665?
I don't think so. But the sheer sample size leads me to believe someone, somewhere formally defended the trailer.
Because they wanted to make sure they got any of the stragglers who didn't hate this piece of shit yet.
>"Tight budget" caused significant portions of the game's initial pitch to be removed
>Added in that stupid dash to kill shit because we're not allowed to just have a Mega Man game, it has to have the worst part of Gunvolt added in too (Seriously Gunvolt would be A+++++ without the forced electric barrier to kill shit)
>That whole fucking fiasco with Red Ash
>That whole fucking fiasco with Dina
>Multiple delays for no good reason besides "multiplayer bugs" which we can now be 99.999999% certain is because Inafune ported this shit to that stupid ripoff Chinese android box as a launch title
>Game looks like absolute dog shit, this shit looks like Wii / PS2 shovelware
>Beta plays like a clunky mess
I remember I gave $50 to this horseshit back when I barely had money because I fucking love Mega Man and believed Inafune's lies
At the very least now we can all sleep tight at night knowing that even if some fucking miracle happens and this game ends up doing even slightly average, at least Inafune's name has been thoroughly dragged through the goat shit
>>340348936
They went for self deprecating, but fucked up and made it feel fan deprecating. It was bland enough to be taken seriously by a lot of people, when it was clearly (to me at least) trying to make fun of RADICAL DUDE BRUH 90s game commercials.
They know trying to sell this to Mega Man fans is a lost cause, so they're trying to appeal to a more gullible audience: normalfags and/or casuals.
why is everyone talking about this mobile game?
does it give you a coupon to pizza hut or something?
4 million dollars.
>Dropped the anime art-style for something more mainstream because Inafune wants to appeal toe the largest audience possible
>Made it look bland as fuck
>Minecraft pre-order bonus
>Horrible PR
>Looks worse than a 10.000 budget game school project.
Where the fuck did the 4.000.000 go? Did that hack fraud con-man Inafune embezzle it to himself and his cahoots?
>>340350727
kek
>>340350928
>Where the fuck did the 4.000.000 go?
Parties, drugs, vacations, salary, basically everything but the actual game. Conman most likely got interns to make the game for free, hence the half a dozen delays.
pretty sure that yooka laylee game got 1 million only and looks baller as fuck
>>340351314
It's fucking crazy. The game has 4 times the budget of something like Dragon's Crown, Shantae, Muramasa.
It looks like a passion project done by indie developers in a weekend, or a fucking free online game from Pizzahut.com or something.
>>340351326
Yooka-Laylee got 2 Million bongs.
>>340350928
25 million dollars.
>>340350052
>without the forced electric barrier to kill shit
But you don't have to use the bubble to kill. You can just stand in front of an enemy for 5 min-
Ohh. I see where you're coming from.
>>340351547
Still, half the price for what looks to be a hundred times the game. I never backed YL, but I kinda wish I had now.
>>340348935
I like it
I don't follow MN9; what's this latest shitstorm about?
>>340347338
It's not that the joke is offensive or something stupid like that, it's just not funny.
>>340351829
And we all know where that money went. Into a landfill.
>>340352027
Got 4 million bucks on kickstarter plus millions more from investors, and made a game that looks like a shitty project done by students in Unity.
Then released a terrible patronizing trailer that mocked the fanbase.
>>340352027
You are in for a treat.
Feast your eyes and ears upon this atrocity:
http://youtu.be/YngbHOz--oc
The funny thing is that they've made another shit trailer, but this one went unnoticed
I'm legit mad at them making fun of people who pick girl characters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85AAxsYjL0g
>>340347338
Vastly misunderstanding the audience of what a fucking Megaman clone is.
Why did everyone get so mad about the joke? Is everyone really that insecure that they get so butthurt? I can make jokes about myself being alone on prom night.
Anime fans are the most whiny, self-conscious faggots on earth.
>waaaaaah they made a joke about me in trailer
I watch cartoons too every now and the but I can tell you I wasn't offended at all. What I was offended about was how fucking shit the game looked.
>>340353015
The joke was the final little piece of shit on top of a gigantic turd cake.
>>340347338
The joke wasn't even the worst of it. The "cool guy" speak was so fucking forced. They really failed to make it feel 90's and just made it look stupid and kiddy.
>>340352419
I lost all interest in this when they showed it was in 3d. It looks very basic given the budget. Fuck I still remember the little screens they made that were in 2d and they looked beautiful. This just looks so cheap, I could whip this up in unity by myself, so whats with that budget, what the fuck are they doing?
Its all coming back, the fucking rage at how much of a fuck up this has been.
>>340353049
>>340353015
Uh-oh! Here comes the MN9 defense force!
>>340353148
>screens
What screens? The drawn concept art?
I can't stand Mighty No. 9 either, but I don't understand why so many retards expected an all-2D game.
>>340349665
"Anyone that disagrees with me is part of GG"
>>340347338
>weebs are the majority of the mega man fanbase
>>340352743
>pizzasplosion has been here since november
if only we had noticed
and the vernon jab was at least hyper specific, they didn't straight up go "people who pick girls are weird", no need to look so hard into being defensive when there's already plenty of shit wrong here
>ITS FUN GUYS HONEST
>FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN
>AND LOOK! BASIC THINGS MOST GAMES ALREADY HAVE!!! B-BOSS RUSH! C-CHALLENGE MODE!!!!
>>340349418
What's the joke?
Agreed, but 2.5d is cheaper and easier to interns to program, so you get a late 2011 mobile game with the bloom turned up 1000x.
Four millions dollars, and they couldn't afford a sprite artist.
>>340353212
I don't even know what MN9 is, I've just been following these threads because it is recurring /v/ drama you retarded faggot.
>>340353212
>says the game looks shit
>must be the mighty no 9 defends force
You're more mentally retarded than any anime fan I've ever met.
>>340353283
>>340353148
well, just because its in 3d doesn't make it bad, just take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbwFl6qVQwA
They also thought it was a great idea to hire a tumblr-tier feminist cunt who didn't really like Megaman to be the community manager for a project funded by the community.
>>340347338
Because it was an awesome joke that was awesome.
Oh, I'm looking forward to the launch of this abomination. Got my popcorn ready and everything.
>>340353470
Little dark for my taste but how did they actively make it look worse AFTER the evaluation test?
>>340353349
Being 2.5D isn't the problem. GG X3rd looks amazing and it's 2.5D.
Bloodstained has less than half of this games budget, and looks 100x better.
Inafune is a hack fraud conman that used his starved fanbase to raise a bunch of money, and used that money to kickstart his own personal projects while making the actual game with just a fraction of the budget.
>>340347338
Because some companies CAN do it. TYPE-MOON shits on itself and its fanbase constantly. Like this manga strip is official, and it's shitting both on the devs, and calling its fanbase a bunch of ungrateful whiners.
>>340353508
God the anger that came out of that. If nothing else, MN9 is a moral lesson on the importance of having absolute control of your press if you decide to go kickstarter
>>340353049
It was more embarrassing that it was insulting, it was like a summer fag opened the /a/ catalog and used the first meme they saw
>>340353769
I felt like they fucking hired Egoraptor to write MN9 trailers.
>make a second playable character
>make her playable for ONE stage
THANK YOU CON MAN
>>340353320
>fun doesnt mean a game is good
holy fuck i get the game LOOKS crappy but hey it's pretty fun at least.
bad voice acting though
>>340353769
Seconded. It showed contempt for the audience both in how cheap it was and in how it makes a pretty mean spirited crack about the people who like the art style of the game you made.
You can make fun of your audience, but it needs to be a little more clever than "LOL NERDS DON'T GET LAID M I RITE?"
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
>>340353470
I don't think 3D necessarily makes it bad, but I get confused by the guys who bark on and on about how they wanted it 2D.
Let's remember that 3D's also cheaper to work with. People jab at the ~4 million dollars raised for the game, but I can't imagine how big of a cut to content the game would get if it was in 2D. With a 3D game, you just need one character model, and animate and pose it as needed. 2D, you need to get something drawn for each frame of movement. The cost is higher.
From what we've seen of how Comcept and Inafune manage their money, given how abysmal Mighty No. 9's presentation and marketing is, I can't fathom how much more bare bones and disappointing the game would be as a 2D title.
The bottom line is that Inafune and Comcept are shit at managing money and don't know what the fuck they're doing.
>>340353015
Nobody's actually mad at it, it's just shit. Like everything else about this game/.
>>340353884
That would explain a lot since it reaked of wannabe jack black humor, and ego raptor us literally just wannabe jack black. Except this was even worse than ego raptor. Like, wannabe ego raptor. Wannabe wannabe jack black.
Hey dude
Do you likeAWESOMEthings that are AWESOME?
>>340353049
It's such a dumb, cheap joke though. It's not a clever self-degrading thing, it's just a normie-tier "LOL FUCKING LOSER VIRGINS HAHA" joke for no real reason that comes across as spiteful....and it's not even funny because it's such a tired cliché. The game was funded by a bunch of weebs yet the trailer goes out of its way for no discernible reason to insult them.
>>340354097
Maybe choosing an art style that would make him pay attention to his fucking budget and actually employ some pants shitting DIRECTION would have helped.
Eh, who am I kidding. You know how it is when people give you free money. Fleshlights and weed.
>>340352743
>>340352419
The worst part is that a lot of the bosses actually look pretty neat.
>>340353996
My point is if you have to say "the game is fun" in your advertisement, and then list off pretty bog standard features, it makes your game sound unsubstantial.
People assume games are trying to be fun, it's like applying for a job and then telling the employer "my skills are that I can work for you" Like, no shit. Tell me something useful. Mention number of levels, the power up system, something about the story. At least the advertisement we shit on most tried to talk about the dashing mechanic.
>>340354253
>le /v/ memes sell games
there are devs who believe this shit
>>340354538
All this.
Friendly reminder: Saying "A thing is fun" is exactly the same thing as saying "A thing exists". If you can't qualify why it's fun, then you're just shilling.
Thank you, have a pleasant shitpost.
>SJW gets offended at a joke making fun of who they are
LOL STOP BEING SO OFFENDED AHAHA IT WAS JUST A JOKE
>anime fans btfo by a shitty game

/v/-tier weebs just find it a weird choice
This game is shit and anyone involved and supporting this should an herobecause that's whats gonna happen anyway when all the fans if any kill themselves after its abysmal bombing
>>340353349
You can still make a 2.5D game look better than MN9 did
>>340355514
You can make a 2D game look better than MN9 does, to be honest. It really looks like a trashy bargain bin phone game.
>>340347338
Maybe because they thought people could handle an innocent joke.
>>340347338
Theu could've atleast put normalmaps to the body texture. That looks like babbys first custom character mod
>>340355963
>assuming modern people at large can handle ANYTHING that isn't marshemellows and handholding
THEY DUN FUKT UP
It ain' the 90's no more, can't make fun of niche groups without them getting offended on their tumblrs or 4chans
>>340355963
The joke might have come off better if the rest of the video wasn't so cringeworthy and unfunny
Post yfw you didn't back MM9
>>340355963
It's a pretty shitty joke either way. Times change. Aqua Teen Hunger Force used to be funny, but then it became unfunny garbage, which it is to this day, because it relied entirely on LE FUNNY SO RANDOM ACCESS HUMOR PURPLE DURPLE XDDDD
>>340355963
Maybe people would have liked it if the joke was delivered with any sense of comedic timing, instead of sounding like Mr. Caffeine aping Duke Nukem line reading a joke for the first time.
>>340356421
>it is to this day
ATHF was cancelled a few months back. I suppose you might mean reruns though.
>>340356263
I thought it was okay. It's actually has a weird nostalgic feel to it. It's like a lot of the cheesy over the top video game commercials from the 80s and 90s.
>>340351454
This is what happens when you fund a kickstarter. There needs to be a deadline given for a dev team to make a game.
You give a dev team too little time, you get cut content and there's so many titles to name.
You give a dev team too much time, you get Daikatana.
There needs to be a ground for a middle to have enough time to make a great game. A good example for that is Ocarina of Time.
>>340356576
>A good example for that is Ocarina of Time.
Which had two cut dungeons because it was rushed to meet a deadline.
>tfw yourrealname will be in the credits
>>340356762
They still got more time to flesh out the entire game though, instead of 2 years they got 3 or 4.
>>340356568
>Do you like awesome things that are AWESOME? XD
Nah pham 10 year old me wouldn't laugh at that shit
you know sonic taking a jab is one thing but fucking DIGIONRO taking the piss?

Cut content is an unavoidable part of game development. Not everything that you planned gets to be in the game, choices have to be made having the budget and development time in mind.
>>340356878
It really was the apex of getting corporately memed on.

>>340354097
>The cost is higher.
But Dragon's Dogma was on the 1M Budget, and still managed it. You are right it costs more, way more, but given you have to get 3D modelers and animators, you can have a very concentrated team for a platformer. No one ever asked more than MMX which has been recreated by the newgrounds community a couple of times.
Also Gameworks is not much more expensive than Unreal Engine, which has been never used correctly in a single indie game.
It still a bad excuse, the number of KS that came from concept right after did not help their case. By the way, am I isnane or wasn't this game KS done in 2012? 4 years for an indie platformer....look how Yuka leyley is doing after a single year in development. Cuphead is taking its sweet time, but it is hand drawn animation, real high quality hand drawn animation.

SJW don't buy videogames, there is logic to the argument, you don't insult potential customers. You don't see Stone Cold Creamery employees call potential customers fat slobs.
Besides, the insult was the trailer itself. What a rip off.
It's literally okay when other companies do it
