MN9 is ALMOST there. Here's how to fix it:
>Graphics
It needs cel shading, more detail, better models and better backgrounds
>levels
Levels need to be redesigned. Mostly just boring hallways. No, this isn't what the best MM games did.
>Gimmicks
Lose the dashing to kill enemies gimmick. Limit or remove dashing entirely. You can just infinite dash through the whole game and it kind of ruins it. MM's slide was okay because it was much more limited.
people who didn't back this game did not go to prom and will never know what it feels like to grind on a pretty girl
>>339516868
>it needs cell shading and more detail at the same time
I don't think that's how cel shading works.

>>339516976
You can have detail and cell shading. It's up to the art style. Most Cel shading replicates simple Western Cartoony style.
Xrd here replicates the more detailed Japanese anime style.
>>339516868
>almost there
>fixing it requires changing most of the content
That's...uh...not how it works
>tfw you actually backed this game
Reminder that many backers still havent gotten their platform survey and many just didnt bother to fill it out. About 13,000 to be exact
>>339517772
>tfw I didn't backed this game
Let's just get this out if the way while we're already on a roll with this thread.
>tfw you didn't back MN9
>>339519796
> we're already on a roll
No, we weren't.
Now we are.
>>339517292
yes, but making one GG Xrd character model is a tremendous amount of work

>No. 8's stage
>Gimmick: No. 8 is hiding somewhere in the stage and you have to hunt him down
>the stage is literally a bunch of hallways that loop on themselves instead of being being a mini-metroidvania stage
>and you have to find him multiple times
>>339520414
No fuckin' way.
How do you "find" him?
>tfw it looks fine
>looks like it plays fine
>seems like it could have more depth of movement than gunvolt

Why are we mad again? Aside from backers who are too mad about what where promised or how the budget was handled.
>>339520548
He fires shots at you from the room he is in (i.e. if he's in a room in the left of the one you're in, shots will fly in from the left). The hallways have little probes that redirect his shots at you if you're nearby, but they're fucking easy to avoid. Once you find him, you shoot at him a couple of times and he'll go hide somewhere else. Rinse and repeat. Once you find him 3-4 times, you get taken to the pre-boss hallway where you face him in the easiest battle of the game (yes, easier than the tutorial boss).
>>339516868
>graphics
literally beginner 4D Cinema skills. Face textures on circle, fucking seriously? Nice Gamecube game
>Gimmick/Gameplay
Literally copying Azure, shoot to weaken and then gimmick attack to kill? The only other game they have, and they rehash right away. Amazing. They were better off just straight copying Megaman's jump n shoot, because atleast Megaman games are dead. And considering most of the people who care about the game were just desperate and neglected Megaman, they really knew how to exploit the idiots.
>Levels
Bland as fuck. The bare minimum of side scrolling platformers.
To those who backed the game, enjoy choking on that small asian dick, you were better off just downloading a fan hack of Megaman.
>>339521427
>>Levels
>Bland as fuck. The bare minimum of side scrolling platformers.
You would say the same thing if you saw any MM1-6 stage. You and anyone shitting on this game are just not fans of Megaman.
Megaman is a boring jump and shoot game, what the fuck do you care? Go play uncharted or something and leave us old men to play our boring jump and shoots.
>>339520868
>Most recent build being streamed
>Close ups on character models that still lack moving mouths or expressive animations when they talk
"Passionless" doesn't even begin to describe Mighty No. 9.
>>339521836
I'm a HUGE fan of Megaman, his games are what got me into gaming in first place and I tell you, this game WILL suck major ass, it's complete and utter shit in every way imaginable
>>339516868
I STILL can't get over the fact that this fucking character model looks like some beginner faggot's first assignment in a 3D character art class.
>>339522261
I doubt that it will be worse than mega man 8. From everything everyone is saying it sounds like it'll at least be about the same, which for me is god awful, but even I along with quite a few other people apparently got some enjoyment out of the shitfest that is 8.
>>339522457
It's not a bad game, but it is very bland and disappointing when you consider that it was made by supposed Megaman alumni.
>>339519796
feels so good
>>339522451
In game, when the camera isn't zoomed in, the character models look somewhat passable to say the very least.
But holy shit, zooming in on those models was a terrible fucking idea. They couldn't make some different, more detailed models to swap in for scenes like that?
>>339519796
Feels good

It looks like they hired some faggot who was still in school, not even a graduate.
Shit, even this ancient as fuck Unreal demo had a better looking character model:

>>339523686
Actually what the fuck, this does look leagues better than the end result
>>339523686
>cone enemies aren't even in the final game
why
>>339523856
That demo was made in a week.
And the "actual" product, which suffered numerous delays, looks so abysmal in comparison.
Think about that.
>>339522732
I bet being in Maki also feels so good
>>339516868
but there is no money to do that, anon
you might as well start your own kickstarter and do megaman rebirth
>>339524120
The greatest mystery of Mighty No. 9 will be how Comcept and Inafune managed this project. If we ever get that making-of documentary, I hope it inadvertently sheds light on that much.
>>339523686
They wasted the 4 millions in useless shit like the cartoon, the making-off and that fucking live action movie.
>>339523686
this video says alot about the whole ptoject, how does this shit happen?
>>339524373
>If we ever get that making-of documentary
What makes you think that'll happen?
>>339516868
>redo the visuals
>redo the level design
>redo the game mechanics
So you want a different game entirely?
Well, you're not wrong.
>>339519796
>>339526250
>but then tfw I backed Frog Fractions 2 and not Bloodstained/Yooka-Laylee
Least I got Shenmue 3.
>>339519796
>>339516868
You are literally telling them to change everything.
I agree.
>>339521836
>Let's compare a game made in 2016 for 4 million dollars to 6 games that came out in the 80's that capcom probably paid a 100k total to make
lol ok
>>339523686
>the 7 days they spent making this produced a better looking end product than the 3 (4?) years they spent making the alternative
literally how
Here's how to fix Mighty No. 9:
Realize that it's a fucking Mega Man game.
Everyone backed this project because it was a replacement for Mega Man. We didn't need fucking 3D models and voice acting and dashing shit like that. You could have given us a reskinned Mega Man game and we'd be happy.
I guess Inafune wanted to do the dash thing because he wanted to make the gameplay more actiony, like a Platinum game. This isn't bad in of itself, but they could have easily modified it to make it more strategic.
>Limit the player to maybe two dashes per five seconds or some similar limit
>Allow dashing in different directions, which would aid speedruns
>Don't make it kill enemies unless it's paired with a Robot Master ability
>Use a Platinum-esque scoring system for each level, with different rewards for each rank
>>339523992
Scrapped due to a tight budget
>>339524373
Inafune is really that utterly incompetent.
>entire game was made as an after thought to the multi-media empire.
>It was put into the hands of devs who made Battle Network games, not ones who have any experience with 2D platformers
>ported to 30 million platforms, which ate up much of the budget and bottlenecked the graphics.
>>339526005
I think in the hands of modders they could make a decent game out of it. Let's hope the game is moddable.
so I've been playing the leaked PC build. do the stages seriously not have checkpoints?
>>339528487
They have several checkpoints, usually marked by the little white circular platform.
>>339526867
Mega Man with better graphics is really all that was needed.
>>339516868
what's up with his bulging blue codpiece? that's all I wanna know
>>339520287
Yeah but 4 million dollars tho
>>339531240
This! There is no reason why ina((((JEW)))ne made the game look like this. """"TIGHT BUDGET""""""
What was your favourite call design /v/?
>>339532997
E.
I will forever be butthurt.
>>339532997
E. H was pretty nice too.
>>339516868
Right, so just scrap the entire game then and start over
>>339516868
Screw the haters, I am buying this game
>>339533365
>Right, so just scrap the entire game then and start over
I'm saying modders can save it. A nice fan project that remakes the levels, graphics, could do wonders.
>>339516868
I'm excited to see if someone will actually make a MN9 fix mod.
>>339534023
>A nice fan project that remakes the levels, graphics, could do wonders.
and by that point you may as well be making a new game entirely
>>339516964
I didn't back this and I went to my promand fucked my date
Disproven desu
