Get ready to rage...

[Xero]

Today, at the World Hobby Fair, Capcom officially announced "Rockman.EXE Operator Shooting Star" for the Nintendo DS scheduled to release in 2009.


##### you Capcom.  ##### you.

[NovaMan XP]

I don't get it.

Like... Mega Man from Battle Network is somehow going to appear? Wha?

...also... God dammit Capcom.

[Johncarllos]

I laugh at the guy on stage.


And yeah that's absolutely stoooooooopid.

[NovaMan XP]

Sadly, I would've accepted a new BN game, but not another SF game. But now it's BOTH. GREEEEAT.

I wonder what the localized name will bee.. will they cave in and call it Mega Man.EXE StarForce, or
MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK STAR FORCE OPERATOR BAT##### BITCHES

[Mikero]

Seems like a game to bridge BN and Star Force.

I don't care, either way.

[NovaMan XP]

They look reaaaaally happy holding hands with each other.


Oh, and I CANNOT wait to see Rez's opinion on this.

[Mikero]

I really don't think he'll care much.

We all know that new BN and Star Force are crap, it's not like anything is getting ruined here. It's not even remotely surprising.

[ChaosVortex]

Oh, and I CANNOT wait to see Rez's opinion on this.

You practically just heard it. What Mike said sounds like what he'd say in a nutshell.

Anyway, I looked at this and I thought, "Um. Okay? Why?"

[NovaMan XP]

BCUZ STARFORCE SAELS ARE BAD AND TO HALP BOOST THE MEGAMNA ECONOMY WE NEEDS TO ADd FAKE HYPE

[preventerWIND]

Maybe they thought if they put more MegaMan into a game, they would get more sales.

1. MOAR MEGAMAN
2.
3. Fail.

[NovaMan XP]

In all seriousness, we know it'll sell, sadly... so profit would've worked.

[TheOnly]

If only the rest of the world would agree to what you guys are saying...

[NovaMan XP]

Unless people are REALLY bad at translating interviews, apparently this game is actually a BN1 remake... and if thats true, there'll probably be a lame ass StarForce extra or whatever.

[Mikero]

WHY do they remake things that aren't even old?

GAWRD.

[TheOnly]

it's CAPCON were talking about here, they do stupid ##### that just don't add up half the time.

And yes, I put CAPCON on purpose.

EDIT: Fixed.

[ChaosVortex]

If it's a remake of the 1st Battle Network, I'll buy it for sure.

Just not anytime soon. I need all the cash I can get, and I think it's fair to boycott this junk. It is just a remake afterall. I already own the original version.

[Mikero]

CAPCON

Crapcon. If you're gonna joke, go big or go home.

And yes, I put CAPCON on purpose.

Did you put "stupis" on purpose?

[TheOnly]

This is maybe a stupid question, but is the remake the apperant "buzz" about a new MegaMan series in the making?

[Mikero]

Oh, probably.

[NovaMan XP]

It's apparently the "revival".

...

Could've been worse.

[TheOnly]

Reivial...why not revive a bad series and give it an improvment overhaul...like the Zero series-.-".

[NovaMan XP]

That's how it could've been worse.

[TheOnly]

AAHHH WHAT?!?! Not even if they decide to make up a whole new story line at least???

[Mikero]

Then it's not a revival, is it?

[ChaosVortex]

Redoing the Zero series would've been like redoing the X series. Look at Maverick Hunter X.

It would've been worse.

And THIS is the revival they were talking about? I thought that was Mega Man 9.

Mega Man 9 is a better choice fellas...

[Mikero]

Yes it is. That's why they made it.

[ChaosVortex]

Well, I meant that as in: They should focus on making more of THAT than more of THIS.

[Fatso]

I'm glad they're taking their time making/announcing MM10 (or even not making it at all) rather than rushing it out to hastily cash in on their success. Deadlines are the mortal enemy of quality.

[Mikero]

Not always, but in this case yeah.

[Majikn]

Maybe they thought if they put more MegaMan into a game, they would get more sales.

1. MOAR MEGAMAN
2.
3. Fail.

Ironically it's because they fail to do just that. More MegaMan != Another MegaMan

I kind of liked Maverick Hunter X though. And with my brother's financial situation I might get a chance to own it if he's willing to sell his PSP (I'm already buying the XBox 360 off him).

[preventerWIND]

You should just give him the money, you heartless bastard.

[ChaosVortex]

You'd do it too, you soulless lowlife.

[preventerWIND]

Well, considering I'm unemployed and not racking in any cashes, no, I wouldn't.

So there! Now who looks like a butt? You! That's who! Y'butt!

[NovaMan XP]

*sigh* This is starting to become exactly what I feared. No upgrade to the graphics apparently, except mugshots (which might actually be a good thing, since BN1-3's sprites were a LOT better than BN4-6, SF's)

I swear, if you can't play as MegaMan.EXE or in BN's Battle Style I'm not gonna get this piece of #####. Remake my ass. They're ruining one of favorite games.

Oh, and new Navi. ClockMan. Why they didn't just call him TimeMan I'll never know.

[Slugkid]

Clockman?!


You mean Clockman.exe.
Please, Nova.
With property.

[NovaMan XP]

Does it really matter that much?

...anyway, according to RPM, you can play as both of them, but I didn't read that in MMN's article on it, so I'm not sure if that's confirmed or not.

... anyway, I find it hilarious they just went and edited MegaMan.EXE's overworld to make the Star Force one.

[GMG]

I don't see why everyone is so negative about it. Sure, there's a chance SF will ruin BN, but what if BN saves SF from its current state of suckage?

[NovaMan XP]

Impossible.

[ASR]

If you take a sick old man who was ONCE great and healthy, but is now diseased and broken... and then you throw a sick dirty germy little asshole kid on his back... will anything good happen?

[GMG]

If you take a sick old man who was ONCE great and healthy, but is now diseased and broken... and then you throw a sick dirty germy little asshole kid on his back... will anything good happen?

Point taken. Even though it's a remake of the first, NOT the 4th+, they could easily screw it up. Now that I think about it, what the hell can timeman's navichip do? Pause time when it uses its attack? Oh wait, IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

[ChaosVortex]

These scans still tell me very little.

I don't get why Geo is standing there with Lan and Mayl but okay.

[preventerWIND]

lol wut

[Winged Warrior]

...Why haven't I noticed that Rock developed Girl parts...?

I mean, Look at his hips.

[TheRedPriest]

Even though it's a remake of the first

... this isn't even close to a REMAKE.  It's "let's replay BN1 by shoving Star Force ##### into it as we do".  This effort, and I use the term VERY loosely, looks to be one of the most lazy ventures Capcom has ever done.  I really liked BN1, so I'll replay that if I want to actually play the game again.  This, whatever the ##### it's suppose to be, game looks like it just took a copy of BN1 and rubbed ##### all over it and called it a new game/sequal/remake.  Oh Capcom, when will you stop trolling us....

[ChaosVortex]

I can't tell if they're actually rubbing crap in it personally, but they're definitely just rubbing something in it, rather than create.

Therefore, I don't see how this will be much good or in anyway not be a repeat of MMPU and MHX.

[NovaMan XP]

The guy who's behind this game said it was a remake... so I'm just HOPING... that this is just what happens when you pick Geo from some sort of character select screen instead of Lan/MegaMan.EXE, and picking Lan just gives you a good remake of BN1 with no Star Force interruptions... maybe something extra post-game.

Of course, I can see this not happening at all.

EDIT: gdjghg

[Mikero]

I was going to say that that image could be from 1999 for all you know, but then I saw a little bit of the new kid up at the top.

[NovaMan XP]

He's saying something like "I'm Mega Man from 200 years in the future."

Ugh.

[Johncarllos]

UGH.

[NovaMan XP]

So it looks like Capcom is too lazy to even make new sprites for the Star Force characters. Geo is a Mega Man edit, and Harp Note is a Roll edit. Hahaha.
