Mega Man Legends 3 (Cancelled)

[Dodongo]

I really really wish that was true.

 

[Minato]

I really hope this is a smart marketing ploy on Crapcom's part by increasing anticipation for the game by cancelling it and then necroing it

Knowing them they're probably just really really stupid

I'm hoping that's the case. Hopefully Capcom didn't see the 3DS as a profitable platform so they'll develop it for something else.
But that's a long shot and I doubt that is the case.

I actually made an account on Unity just for the Dev Room. I didn't post a lot on the comments/discussions but I did check up on the site regularly along with voting on everything. And concerning Inafune never buying a 3DS, I'm going to assume that he knew Capcom was never going to greenlight the game since the beginning.

On a side note, I'll leave this link out here for those who haven't listened to it yet.

Wow, that PR guy is terrible. He basically blames the fans and then instead of admit his mistake he tries to weasel out of it by saying he isn't blaming the fans but Capcom. Capcom would have to be crazy to keep this guy on staff.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I love how they blame the fans for the game not being made. I mean Capcom are the people who are supposed to make the games, they shouldn't have to rely on fans to make a good game.

Have any of you guys read this article?

I know it's at least 2 months old but I think I see why Legends 3 was scrapped from the 3DS

I read those tweets. I didn't think it was possible for a corporate representative to be so stupid.

 

[Zook]

I'm not buying any more Capcom games until the company gets its act together, and I urge you all to do the same. Their behavior lately has been ridiculous.

This isn't just about ML3, btw, but also about MvC3 being a $60 beta and having DLC characters on the disc itself, RE Mercenaries 3D being a shameless cash grab, and their recently atrocious PR. I see no reason to support a company like Capcom right now.

 

[Fuelbi]

I agree except the only Crapcom merchandise I got in the first place was Megaman X so I wasnt gonna buy much else anyways lol

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, some people say they will buy "used" Capcom games so the profit doesn't go to them, which isn't a bad idea.

Though personally speaking, I haven't bought a Capcom game in ages, and don't plan too.

Thanks for the link. I doubt this'll change anything, but yeah, it doesn't hurt to just click "like".

I love MM (especially Legends), but that doesn't mean I'm going to boycott any of their games that I plan to buy.
I don't see it changing anything and all it'll do is have Capcom think that their new series isn't profitable so they won't take a leap of faith to try anything new.

 

[theeboredone]

While you do have a point in that boycotting may hurt them more than anything else, but if Capcom gets to a point where they have to sell or lend their franchises to other companies, I'll take that over spending endless amounts of money anyday.

And like I said, Buying used means you can still play, while they don't earn anything out of it.

Finally, this was just the boiling point for me personally. dMc or whatever that crap is ticked me off to no end, failed localization of AAI2, MML3 being cancelled, and then the PR stunt that followed.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Them making Ultimate Marvel vs. capcom 3 also pisses me off. If I had known they would make an updated game I would never have bought the original MvC3. I probably won't buy anymore Capcom fighters anytime soon that's for sure. Capcom is just a bad company. And people say Activision is bad lol.

 

[Fuelbi]

They are

I'm tired of paying 70$ for a half ***** game every year that's basically an expansion pack of the original

 

[OmegaXXII]

Thank goodness I didn't get that special edition version even though I have the original, yea...I'm just that weird I guess. :/

RIP GoOD GAMES

(except diablo 3)

CyberConnect2, the producer of Solatorobo, has expressed interest in making MML3 for Capcom! I have no idea if anything will come of this, but it's something to hope for, at least.

 

[theeboredone]

I don't know much about Cyber Connect, but I love what they've done with the Naruto Ninja Storm franchise. I mean, it's not exactly the best competitive fighter out there, and I hear the online can get laggy...but overall the games are fun to play.

Now just imagine if Legends 3 had the same budget as those Naruto games.

CC2 also made the .hack// games if you're aware of those. And they're also developing Capcom's Asura's Wrath.

I looked up that facebook page. Someone on there suggested testing the market with a remake of legends 1 and 2. I think it is a good idea. Wish more companies would test new markets with remakes of obscure or untested franchies instead of just canning the new product. Like I think if capcom had released Monster Hunter G for the Wii in the US and EU they would have made better estimates for Tri.

A remake would cost too much money for Capcom if it's on a home console.
There's no huge market for the 3DS yet and Vita isn't out yet so they'd have to take a gamble on remaking a game people never bought in the first place.

Capcom's probably already skeptic after how badly sales were for MM1 and MMX's remakes.

 

[Dodongo]

Remakes of MM1 and MM2 would be awesome, but I don't expect it.

Lately, I've been playing MML2 on PC to alternately soothe/fuel my disappointment.

 

[OmegaXXII]

No kidding, tbh I've never ever olayed a single Megaman game in my life, I've seen the classic X games as interesting titles so I'm not really impacted like some of the hardcore Megaman fans are.

 

[theeboredone]

I never played the Megaman series, but I did grow up watching the cartoon show (lawlz) and playing through the X series. Then again, I stopped playing the X series once it went 3D I believe with X8?

And I personally liked Command Missions. Not some over the top, original RPG...but simple and to the point.

 

[lordvaati]

as a huge capcom fan, I can say this with no bias:

this was easily the stupidest, most nearsighted, and disrespectful thing I have ever seen them do last week. ever.

 

[Minato]

Having some of you guys not play any of the classic series makes me feel old. And I'm not even all that old. lol

 

[Luigitoilet]

To all of you who haven't played Megaman games, how does it feel to be without a soul and to be scarred from a miserable meaningless childhood?

 

[theeboredone]

Feels good. Like I got a spring in my step.

There's a new rumor that Capcom intentionally left the N.A. devroom open to see how many people register as servbots. If they get more than 25k, production may be resumed.

Considering the facebook campaign already has 30,000 people behind it, this could be a very real possibility. If you haven't already, please go to the devroom and register. It only takes 5 minutes or so.
Even EE did it, and he's our beloved backroom administrator.

Feels good. Like I got a spring in my step.

Huh? No wonder you haven't played any MM games....you're Spring Man!!

 

[M@v]

Just some motivation to keep this hyped guys:

[Dodongo]

Holy crap, the devroom gained around 4,500 servbots just yesterday!

C'mon Capcom, you need to at least give us a response.

 

[NTA]

I'm hoping this game gets finished. I haven't played Mega Man in so long :/

 

[Dodongo]

Today on his blog, the lead programmer for MML3 stated that he was feeling hopeful about the efforts everyone was making to get the game back on track!
