That Kamiya might be rude on Twitter, but he's an expert judge of character
>>14383304
>Better than nothing
I may still be better about Legends 3, but considering how MN9 turned out, it may not be such a bad thing that it died. We now know that it could have turned out much worse.
>>14383304
>>"Well, it's better than nothing."
>So what did we learn?
Not to trust Inafune's translator? That's not what he said.
Let's be honest, there was no way this game was going to get a fair reception. I'm going to wait for a sale.
CON MAN WAS A MISTAKE
>>14383304
>So what did we learn?
Something we'll forget really soon, since this exact scenario is a case of history repeating itself.
That game development is hard.
That just because you can port a game across all the platforms, doesn't mean you should.
That people take concept art to be indicative of the final product.That poor financial management means not enough money to pay off game journos.
Don't touch any kikestarter projects that don't have a complete vertical slice, not with a 20-foot pole. I'm fucking furious that this shit made that much money when these two guys in pic related started out with a full 2-mission demo and couldn't even break half their goal.
hahahahahahaha

Holy shit good thing Konami doesn't care about videogames anymore, this isn't a spiritual successor so much as a wholesale clone.
>>14383366
>That people take concept art to be indicative of the final product.
Fuck you, the initial look of the game, they said "someday we'll look back at this and laugh at how primitive it looked" when it looks miles better than the game we got
>Like 50% of the time, choosing a stage on the Stage Select screen would go to a black loading screen and then instantly freeze my entire system, forcing me to do a hard-reboot of the Wii U.
>PSN codes cannot be redeemed yet, and there are reports of the WiiU version destroying whatever storage you saved it and installed it to. Someone I follow said her external HD died right after trying to install the game, and there have been a number of similar reports around social media.
>>14383450
nigga how
What's the problem, exactly? Looks great to me, you're not really gonna tell me that the old MegaMan games are good today, are you?
>>14383304
>So what did we learn?
Not only is Inafune a business man and not a creator, he's not even a very good business man.
>>14383304
Kamiya warned us, and we didn't listen.
>>14383304
Video games are wasteful and stupid, so don't bother trying to create one.
Why are Kamiya drones so noisy
>>14383489
Smear campaign by people who don't understand how storage devices work.

>>14383561
Yeah, it's not like PSO2 or anything's ever been known to wipe people's hard drives.
Totally impossible.
>>14383388
That's the point. It's a game made by two literally whos and it looks more professional than MN9.
>>14383450
On the PC, MN9 wants 4 to 8 GB of RAM.
The Wii U has 2 GB.
These facts might be related!
>>14383600
I miss the good ACE Games.
>The reality is they put everything into making this game. They didn't try to microtransaction it out, they didn't try to DLC it out for extra money.
Well they already got their money, and asking for more would just cause greater backlash. Also, wasn't there content that didn't make it into the game?
>>14383616
>Also, wasn't there content that didn't make it into the game?
yeah, little things like the Kirby rip-off gimmick that was the entire fucking point of the game
>>14383304
Everyone knew the game was going to be shit from the awful demonstrations to the shitty rap based themes they were using.
>>14383616
They were trying to make a kickstarter for fucking DLC weren't they?
There's a torrent or mega link?
>>14383635
guess it's so shit nobody even bothers to steal it
so much for my prom night
>>14383615
Don't we all. Good mecha action game died with ACE 3.
>>14383629
there was a second kickstarter for voice acting and "extras". which apparently was funded and then the VA was terrible.

>>14383362
Romero is making a new Doom game or something, and released a bunch of new levels for classic Doom. He's learned and grown from his mistake.
>>14383362
>>14383683
>>14383754
Wasn't Romero, despite all his fuckups at the time, actually against the "make you his bitch" campaign? IIRC it was pushed because the marketing guy thought it'd be real cool for the famous dev to talk shit to his audience.
>>14383809
Romero had a pretty big ego, but yeah the "Suck it down" campaign was some marketing guys idea.
It was more of that he didn't find out about it until it was too late. God damn, why does it seem that Marketing and PR departments don't know what people really want?
>>14383754
He released his own take one E1M8 in April I think. And people were trying to bait him into trashtalking the new Doom, though he didn't take the bait.

Why do people throw away their money like this?
>>14383825
Cause people only remember or talk about the bad marketing decisions, never the good ones.
>>14383870
You guys wanted a good kickstarted Megaman tribute?
It already existed years ago
>>14383949
But anon, Shovel Knight is popular so it's obviously bad. Only obscure and old things are good.
>>14383949
Yeah, and it was called Gunvolt.
>>14383923
Why do people blow money on lottery tickets?
to be frank the project was way too Ambitious, Inafune could have started the series with modest goals instead of damaging his credibility

>>14384011
This. Some Kickstarter projects cut down on ports to readjust their goals.

You'd know, wouldn't you Sonic? Sonic '06 and the Sonic Boom games were "better than nothing", right?

They didn't brick consoles. For once, Sanic had solid ground to stand on.
>>14384076
>For once, Sanic had solid ground to stand on.
unlike in 06 when you could random fall through the ground
>>14384057
Because you're already funding a new mega man game when there's a ton of them anyway. at least it was trying to go for a new gimmick and evolution on the original MM's power stealing (why not just steal everything's powers). then it turned out they couldn't do that and it just became some crappy buff system you don't really need to beat the game.

You'd think people would talk more about the fan projects, like MMX: Corrupted and whatever it is that Tarbo-San is making (let alone the better hacks like Minus Infinity).
>>14384083I think that can happen in Boom, too. At least before the patch that barely fixed anything.
>>14384131
Also, the Sonic Boom 3DS games were made the folks who took a dump on Sly Cooper's legacy.

>>14384154
>Not playing one of the best /m/ games ever made
>>14383923
To be fair, successful things have come out of Kickstarter, like pic related. There's also the new BattleTech game, which is being made by a tried and true developer with a proven background, and I believe at least a part of Skullgirls was crowdfunded (or at least a campaign to add a new character).
Of course it's still true that at least 90% of the stuff that gets successfully funded is crap (and there's plenty of other cases of people simply taking the money and running or mismanaging it and failing to deliver), but that isn't to say that absolutely everything that comes out of it is crap.
>>14383450

Might be safe to wait and see if the NX has reverse compatibility (probably the case, since Breath of the Wild will get on that).
>>14383923
There are some great stuff from Kickstarter, like Shovel Knight
>>14383366
Damage control in full effect.
>>14384204
You might want to be sure that it gets games too.
Nintendo has been pretty poor with its console game library for these past two generations, especially if you exclude first party titles.
Anyway, it feels like backwards compatibility hasn't been a thing for awhile, probably because companies have realized that it's a poor business model.
>Want to get rid of your old console, but still want to play all your old games? Boy do we have the solution for you! Just download them all again off our virtual store!
>>14384219

Wii U has it and now Xbone does to a lesser extent.
>>14384207
There was that TruForce Mega Man X figure as well
>>14384178
Funny you mentioned Skullgirls. If anyone's done crowd funding right it's been them. They explained what they were doing, were transparent during the process and delivered on everything they promised and then some.
They even threw in some funny little bonuses like Squiggly's "work in progress" colours.

I don't have an image that conveys my despair for backing MN9 so I didn't have the money to back Bloodstained.But at least I backed Shantae
>>14384219
Oh the NX will already have games, it will have Breath of the Wild and Dragon Quest XI.
>>14384232
lol, reminds me of when I was checking every update during Beowulf and Robo Fortune.
>>14384288
>tfw you backed Bloodstained and Shantae and skipped MN9 because you were "eh" on classic megaman games.
>>14384296
Aw yeah, didn't back Shantae due to not trusting Kickstarter then but I back Yooka-Laylee which looks amazing, I backed Bloodstained looks great as well judging by the gameplay footage and I really want Shenmue 3 to be good seeing how I backed that as well.
>>14384040
>>14384302
I wanted to back Yooka-Laylee but I did not have a job at the time.
>>14384219
The games that are confirmed for NX are Breath of the Wild and Dragon Quest 11 which I both be getting. Seeing how Square is releasing both DQ 7 and 8 overseas.
It's a perfect example of how a bad team and constant delays can ruin a project.
The fact they had a SJW community manager who banned people, even paying kickstarters, for asking legit questions was also a big hit. (All while pushing her gender bent designs and pushing crazy tumblir nonsense)
>>14384312
I hope the NX version of DQXI is just the PS4 version and its bundled with it. I mean I am already going to get the 3DS version though.
Yeah man that would lead to some good sales if they bundled it. At least in Japan.
>>14384315
True
Playtonic and IGA's team at Inti Creates are doing the right thing by looking and listening to the fans. The Toybox especially is a smart way for backers to get a feel of a game.
Shantae will still be good right?
>>14384315
And don't forget trying to make a TV series, doing a bunch of ports not planned originally and making *another* kickstarter while this clusterfuck was happening in the background. What a mess.
>>14384288
>>14384296
>>14384302
What gets me is all the haters complaining about Shantae taking so long, even though WayForward and Inti Creates are reliable enough and the delays are due to the DLC having been added to their workplate.
>>14384040
I hope that man never gets fired
>>14384315
The community manager bullshit was the first real sign that things were in trouble. The fact she wasn't fired/replaced or even censured in any way was a BIG fuck you to backers.
But the delays really did it. It became a running joke and it should never have taken this long to complete.
>>14384327
From the trailer we got at E3? Fucking amazing.
>>14384329
I trust when the people who make Shantae say that they need to fix some things.
You see its like the difference between a crack whore (MN9) who charges way to fucking much because she has a fuck ton of problems and a call girl (Shantae, Bloodstained, etc.) who you will always be fond of after playing it, maybe you will play with her again.
>>14384340
Yooka, Bloodstained and Shantae all had great showings at E3.
Shenmue III wasn't there probably because it was still under work.
>>14384349
Oh boy yes they did, and I am pretty glad they got a actual speedrunner to play Bloodstained, at least to show it off.
I am not expecting another trailer for Shenmue 3 until like later this year.
>>14384315
I was one of those backers who she banned. All I asked was if the main character was still going to be male after she began posting all the sjw gender stuff and how male characters were inherently evil. She had just posted the famous gender bent picture.
I would have been fine with a female character, but it's shady as FUCK to imply the company is changing direction after the money has been gathered.
Had to contest the kick-starter charge with my back and got my money back. I'll never donate to another project again.
No idea why people here are still complaining about the delays. It takes a lot of time to create a game that's able to brick a console and get it on the market without anyone stepping in to stop you.
>>14384219
>poor business model.
It's not so much a poor business model as it is that they realise they can make people pay for a game they already bought so they can play it on their newest hardware. Not having backwards compatibility is a big fuck you in encouraging customer loyalty in my eyes.
You could make the argument that backwards compatibility is a smart business decision because people might be more likely to buy a console they know they can play their old games on while they wait for new games to come out.
I would've bought a PS4 day one if it had backwards compatibility. Now I have to wait for a few years for it to build a repertoire of ga,es I want to play on it.

>>14384358
It might be at PSX but even then i'm not expecting anything huge.
bloodstained has always looked like MN9 done right. all of it's stretch goals seemed reasonable and they had active fan engagement to decide them, it had funding from other sources to add to it's backer money and seemed to understand what people loved about the older games and wanted to aim the game towards that on a more direct featureset level than just pandering to 80s nostalgia from a bunch of manchildren who are sad because they stopped pumping out 3 mega man games a year with no discretion.

What did it get a 5.6 on that there's been several pictures referencing it posted now?
>>14384435
Exactly, inafune's only credit as a designer is on MM4 (the first not great one) and only really ever worked as an artist. he may have been the producer for like every mega man since but that includes the not so good ones, at least iga's track record working as a producer on castelvania was pretty universally well received (his other games not so much) and his involvement and interest in the franchise seemed both hands on and genuine.

>>14384718
Hey if they actually have a solid track record why not donate to them?
>>14384734
Inafune didn't though. He was always just someone that worked at Capcom, he had never shown he can make a game without a company's backing before. But his video pulled everyone in through emotional impact.
At least with Yooka-Laley, they WERE the company's original members. They know how to make a game as a company, they've done it before.
Remember when Inafune was on top of a skyscraper talking about how much he loved Megaman?
>Better than nothing
>>14384741
That is why I did not donate to MN9 and instead donated money to games like Shovel Knight, Shantae, Bloodstained, and Yooka-Laley all of which had good backrounds in actually making good games.
Its the unkowns that are the huge gamble and should only be considered donating if they have some sort of video of a playable build.
>Better than nothing

>And let's be honest, this is all that Shantae has going for it.
They're decent platformers. And from what we saw from the demo, the gameplay has been greatly improved from Pirate's Curse.
>>14384931
You mean only kickstart a game where the person has a great fucking track record with releasing AND helped developed good games or a demo ready to give right the fuck now.
Never fund a kickstarter.
Except for when John Carmack is involved, in which case dump money all over that man and his coding wizardry.
>>14384948
>If it has cute girls we might as well talk about them
Not to mention what Risky builds that year, since she's /m/ enough.Too bad that DLC chapter about her money scam sphere thing hasn't been funded, though. That could have been an amusing parallel to failed Kickstarters.

That's because 3PDs don't know what the fuck to do with the Wii U Gamepad. The few that tried to do something cool with it made bad games, like ZombiU.

Can someone who understands moonspeak translate what Inafune said? Ben Judd was a translator for Capcom, so I trust that his translation was accurate, but I'd like to know whether Judd was speaking from his own opinion or translating.Either way Mediocre no. 6.5

No, he means actual demonstration of some sort of product instead of just concept art and wishful thinking.
It's actually mandatory as part of the Kickstarter rules these days, I think. You can't just show up with nothing but ideas and ask for funding.
>>14385631
Was it any good?
>>14385554
Chicken and the egg.
Without a big install base game devs aren't going to make exclusives for your console.
Microsoft solved this in 2001 with literally bribing studios and establishing relationships with them. But it cost them billions and it wasn't until the 360 that it finally paid off.
Have to wonder if Nintendo is even capable of closely working with 3rd parties at this point.
>>14385653
Absolutely. Definitely a better investment.
>>14384178
Not him, but as a software developer(not games tho) I'm strongly against the crowdfunding model. If it's an independent developer the people who give money have no guarantee the product will make it and if it's someone like Inafune, he already has the resources, know-how and contacts to be able to finance a project. Also, the stakeholders are more heterogeneous than an usual project so a failure would be even worse to handle. In my opinion, at least.
>>14384958
I hate to tell you this but Carmack is old and busted. Besides the Megatexture thing that never really took off he hasn't been behind any innovation in the field.
>>14385661
>Have to wonder if Nintendo is even capable of closely working with 3rd parties at this point.
Generally, no. Most third parties just want hardware that's easier to port to, and Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about that, they just want whatever they can get for cheap. It's a bit easier with Japanese developers since they're all so obsessed with handhelds or mobile games.
>>14385653
It's better than nothing

Nah, Romero actually contributed to projects in the past instead of just taking credit for other's work and making a career out of it.
>>14385815
Developers have consistently said that the WiiU and NX are really easy to develop for.
>>14386071
"Easy to develop for" doesn't necessarily mean "We can port our game to this no problem".
>>14384039
Its not that, they launched it as a celebration of their company and accidentally created a multimedia success with Drama, Music and Games, all while Inafune is flailing about trying to do the same with far more budget and time, dramatic irony doesn't even cut
>>14384764
X and Omega Xis too
>>14383304
>But it's hard to understand why someone there to translate the words of the game's high-profile producer would throw in such an opinion, where he does, right next to his boss, and nobody picks him up on it.
The western side of this project has shown themselves to be incompetent unprofessional fucks countless times before, this isn't surprising at all.
>>14385815
Yeah, MS had another advantage besides unlimited money: the original xbox was the most powerful console of the gen be and pretty easy to work with.
If Nintendo opts AGAIN for weak or exotic hardware they will fail.
>>14386071
The wiiU hasa ridiculously underpowered CPU that makes porting very difficult.
Add to that the non existence of an online network like PSN/XBL, no dual layer bluray format and no big internal HDD and the wiiU is nothing like the other consoles.
Nintendo always makes consoles for themselves. Sony and MS actually ask game devs what kind of console they want. Totally different philosophy.
>>14386071
Easy to develop for doesn't mean much when they have to work with that Gamepad.
>>14385615
The translation is fine, it's just that the second half is his own opinion and words, not Inafune's. He was supposed to be interpreting but butt in and just started to spout his own retarded shit.
>>14386211
I guarantee he wasn't the only english speaker in the room.
>>14386270
>The translation is fine
>He was supposed to be interpreting but
you literally said his translation was fine. If he finished translating for con man then there's no reason he shouldn't have followed up with his own commentary or moved on to the next question. The fact remains that someone intimately involved with the game said "better than nothing" and your asspain doesn't change that. I rate your comment 5.6/10
>>14386225
>the original xbox was the most powerful console of the gen be and pretty easy to work with.
And it lost to the PS2 which had the weakest hardware all because it was more affordable and had better exclusives.
>>14386057
If it were free THEN it'd be better than nothing. But since you still have to pay for it, it's worse than nothing.
>>14383362
Romero is a alright dude, even with the whole "Romero will make you his bitch" thing.

Daikatana sucked, but they didn't rip anyone off to bring the product out, right? By the time it was available for purchase, reviews were available. Can't say that about MN9.
>>14386741
One could say that reviews of the demo, the numerous delays, and all the news about how shit the development was, is all that anyone interested in the game would need to know to steer clear of it now that it's been released.
Anyone who decided to crowdfund the game, it sucks that they got such a shoddy product after everything that was promised, but that's the perils of crowdfunding that everybody should know by now.
>>14386741
He ripped off Eidos, who had to invest 25 million dollars into a bunch of supercomputers so he and his team of random assholes from the modding community could spend days upon days playing Doom at their workplace instead of getting shit done on time.
Oh, also, a home cinema with dolby surround sound system. That was critical to the development of Daikatana.
>>14383304
See? Capcom doesn't need Inafune to make a good Megaman game. What the FUCK are they waiting for?
>>14386759
they're busy thinking of more ways to troll and disappoint
they clearly have no intention of making quality games

The making-of Daikatana story is amazing. It sounded like Wolf of Wall Street if the entire cast was anime and vidya nerds.
>>14383870
Kickstarter is stupid anyways. Want to make something or start your own business? Get your own capital. Begging others to start your business is just shameless.
>>14384039
I am honestly surprised /v/ didn't fucking explode over that game, given it has a boss using xe/xir

Looks like the specifics of who to blame have been cleared up.
>>14383346
Clearly Treehouse LOCALIZED Inafune's dialogue.
>>14387039
That's better for the investors maybe, but it's no different for you as a company. Worse even. And that's ignoring that suing often has a large up front cost, that investors are harder to ignore when they make demands and so on.
>>14387056
Ben Judd was from Capcom though.
>tfw they wanted to help Inafune crash and burn even harder than he did already
>>14383400
Hey they're not using assets from Symphony of the Night. That's good enough for me
>>14386972
Because investors actually gain something from their investment. It's not begging but a mutually advantageous arrangement.
>>14383400
You can't sue for gameplay mechanics and concepts. Capcom lost against some Street Fighter 2 clones back in the day, settling that matter.
>>14387135
If that's not begging because investors eventually get something out of it, then neither is Kickstarter, since it's equally true of their system. And I honestly have no idea how you wouldn't consider that before writing that post since its so obvious.

Consoles are all considerable weaker than the processors used to develop games on its not just the Wii U. Problem is most developers are lazy and don't want to bother making a lesser port (see Ubisoft and the Wtach Dogs fiasco) and also as stated above can't work with Nintendo's touchpad faggotry. It was easy with the Game Cube since it was considerably more powerful than the PS2 but Nintendo piss away all their third party support with the Wii in favor of low budget gimmicky shovelware.
>>14387402
>can't work with Nintendo's touchpad faggotry
>somehow in the years between the DS and now, third party devs forgot how to do dual screen development
aaayyyyyy
>>14386970
>/v/ didn't fucking explode over that game, given it has a boss using xe/xir
Thats pretty much what the game threads were about a week or two after release, then the shitposters moved to a new thing and the whole xe/xir got forgotten.
Granted, is not really "explode over it" but thats because a lot of people overexagerate how much /v/ hates tranies, gays and blacks. /v/ hates the SJW pandering of "This is a trans character because come on, is 2016!" kind of crap.
I mean, fuck, some of /v/ favorite characters are traps and gays for fuck sake.
>>14387402
>and also as stated above can't work with Nintendo's touchpad faggotry
You put the fucking pause menu options on the touchpad. It's not hard.
>>14387424

>>14387449
>Who are Poison and Arcade Ganon?
>>14383535
I did.
>>14387453
Isn't Poison a weird case where the character can be a guy in drag, transsexual, futa or woman depending on what version you want to take as source? I'm aware the source character is set, but there was enough messing you can take anything you want as true from what I gather.
>>14387474
Yes, but that doesnt stop Poison from appearing in trap threads in /v/
Also in Stick of truth most of /v/ keep playing as a trap
>>14387420
I just assume general faggotry on their parts since the devs of Darksiders said it was incredibly easy to port their game and even the gamepad function was just a few lines of code
>>14387481
It's really a matter of how lazy the company is.
Not everyone is Capcom + MT Framework.
>>14387529
>It's really a matter of how lazy the company is.
Its frustrating how much truth there is to this, Konami will now proceed to use the Fox Engine for goddamn pachinko cinematics or their stupid soccer games while every other game rots because Kojima pulled a Inafune and made a bunch of braindead decisions killing a bunch of franchises
