Mega Man Explodes Across the Universe

[Korias]

oh I was hoping by the way it started off it was a possible squeal to Megaman Legends since

Spoiler

the last thing you see of him is being stuck on an artifical moon with Roll and Tron working together to build a rocketship to get him back.

though a Megaman MMO to be honest doesn't sound half bad.

This. This This This THIS THIS.

Megaman Legends (And Megaman Legends 2) were some of my favorite games for the Playstation. Bout damn time the made a sequel. I'd LOVE to have an MMO Version of Megaman Legends. The world itself is pretty much set up to be an MMO: Different continents, airships, pirates, millions of dungeons that can be randomly generated, item crafting, and mini games (Racing, Can-kicking, Pig-growing).

Wow I wasn't even thinking about making a Universe out of Legends but yeah that could work! You wouldn't even need to be Megaman you could be a random digger guy/girl who keeps running into him, of course Mega, Roll, Barrel and the Bonnes(Tron, Bon, Teisel, and the servebots) could show up for key story missions but you could pal around with them on certain side ruins or something.

Or you have a singleplayer story as Megaman again and a Co-op mode as the edited diggers with maybe different weapon types like you start with a pistol and upgrade to more tradional guns or get bows or a buster arm and you could maybe upgrade your flutter with paint or parts to get access to certain areas or races. Oh now i wish this was what they were talking about for sure.

Well, You'd probably have to level up before you can get your own private Flutter. You'd probably get a Bus (ala the first MM Legends game) before that. I don't think that they'd be able to do races: Maybe ethnicities, but the main races are Reaver, Human, and those aliens from the end of the second game. Likewise, I don't think that witholding certain races until a certain level is a sound strategy. Maybe different digging styles, such as a more melee oriented style (Similar to Zero's) or one that focuses on hacking Reavers to do your dirty work.

I'd like to see them resolve the storyline, but there is so much potential in the MMO version. Maybe even interweave them. Some sort of central quest line, or perhaps a World Goal: You have the option of selling refractors, or donating them to the cause of bringing Megaman back from space.

Hmm..you know, I would actually welcome a new Megaman Legends game.

Yes, I am aware that I am one of the few who loved both it and its spin-off, the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. But damn it, I would love to see more of both. Hell, another game where you could rampage around as Tron would be awesome beyond words.

Yeah those are great games I love em to and Tron as the Anti-Hero was an awesome idea and well executed I'd enjoy another go as that crew of pirates.

Plus Korias seem to be a fan too.

Hooray! Oh fractious day! I'm not the only one!

 

[Dexiro]

Never thought about it really, but a Megaman mmo doesn't sound too bad

I just really hope it'll be more along the lines of the traditional shooter rather than an rpg.
More based around completing story based missions instead of doing grindy quests for hours until you're a high enough level to beat some boss.

lol when I said "races" I ment racing with the airships. Hmm that's how they could start actually first job could have you running into Roll or Tron (Possibly as a hero/villain or digger/pirate rating check) and they tell you about the trouble they have and how they need refractors or parts(parts you can't use anyways) to build the Rocket.

Could you please NOT mock the Battle network series? I respect your opinion and everything, but the BN series carries the more fond memories of my childhood. So could you kindly back off?

'tis only sillyness, sir. Buy you've got to admit we probably don't need anymore of those games.

Well, while this is all still speculation, I could see them doing something similar to the new MMO Planes of Telara, which, if I recall, is sticking to the familiar two-faction system. Diggers on one side, Pirates on the other. Each one could feasibly raid/defend each other's cities (As seen in Legends 2 where you not only defend a city from an aerial assault, but also then go and raid the bird's base).

There is just so much potential that I can't believe that I didn't see this before. How did Capcom pass over such a goldmine of opportunities?

On topic, did they file this trademark in the US or Japan or somewhere else?

 

[Nicarus]

An MMO Megaman? I can see a little bit of how it could work, but then again what's the main story? Will this really be like Legends, or something from the ZX series? But too be honest, I ain't gonna hold my breath on this one.

If anything, they need to bring out a third Legends game, cuz the second one didn't have closure.

Another great idea! That way they could bring in Glyde and his bird brain birdbots plus new pirates.

Article doesn't really say it's from Legends or it a MMO but we think it would be a great basis if it was.... but they havn't said it is or isn't yet so theres hope, Maybe.

 

[theklng]

please let it be the rebirth of the megaman x series. to date probably the best game series to ever grace this earth.

 

[bjj hero]

As there is no real information except a name, I'll put £5 on it being a MM FPS. The game to finally bury the MM franchise.

 

[SamElliot'sMustache]

I suppose it's too much to ask for Mega Man Legends 3 in the same year that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is announced?

 

[GL2814E]

What console would it be for?

 

[Plurralbles]

that's a seriously stupid screenshot.


Nevertheless, I am still a fan of megaman.

It's from the PS1 "Mega Man Legends 2" the graphics are gonna seem dated plus the art directions was geared torwards a japanesse only release style which worked for the animation design.

 

[Roxas1359]

Unless Capcom says that they are making Legends 3 I won't be listening.*puts fingers in ears and makes loud noise*. I mean us Legends fans have been waiting years for a third installment, and we have been patient! Especially with the ending that they gave us in Legends 2. But I'll keep my eye on this.

 

[Zeraki]

I just want a new Mega Man X game that doesn't suck, just to have an actual good game to close the series out on... classic 16-bit style.

In all seriousness though, I really hope this doesn't turn out to be an MMO. I can't even imagine how a Mega Man MMO would work in the first place.

A Capcom game with closure? Come on, you know better. Still, MML 3 for the win plox!

 

[Twilight_guy]

It sounds like a fighting game to me. The Megs Man universe would be referring to the canon of the series and the bringing together of various characters for an (ironically non-canon) fight game. Of course that doesn't seem very new, so I doubt if that is the new exciting idea. It also sounds like an MMO to me, too. I just don't want to be a Met.

 

[geldonyetich]

Zero: I'm sorry, Megaman, you can't group with us. Your Megabuster needs at least another 6 levels. Go kill robots for a few days and get back to us later, alright?

Megaman: ...
