ZX3 in progress, it is confirmed.

[preventerWIND]

Thats right, that whole ZX3 (Extremus) rumor was true after all. The story is from Protodudes Rockman Corner.

Rumors sent in by the infamous "Anonymous"

-Anon confirms the existence ZXE (ZX Extremus). Will be released after RnR3.
-ZXE will be a prequel/sequel to ZX. Players will take on the role of either a young Prometheus or Pandora.

-The beginning of the game will deal with the lives of P&P before they became Rockmen.
-An hour or so into the game, the story then shifts to the time gap between ZX and ZXA. P&P are tasked with finding potential Rockmen who can surpass the abilities displayed by ZX. These potential Rockmen are the bosses of the game.

-Anon claims to have seen the game in it's earliest form. Says it looks almost identical to ZX and ZXA, however the environments of the game are very "lively."

-Capcom is kicking around the idea of a unique game play mechanic called the 'Dynamic Weather System' (DWS). The weather throughout the world is always changing at a random pace. Weather will affect the layout of the stage (ala Zero 4) and the behavior of bosses and enemies and even the performance of P&P.

-"Dreams" will be the main theme of the game. P&P will be haunted by numerous dreams (and some nightmares) as the story progresses. Apparently, these are actually playable events.

-The final boss of the game is a "surprise."

-Unfortunately, it appears ZXE will not continue the story after the ZXA.

-A preview of the events in the game appear in the newly released ZX Gigamix soundtrack's drama tracks. Guess what? He's(Anonymous) right.

-''Extremus" may not be the final name of the game.


Any thoughts?..

[Abominator]

How is this "confirmed", exactly?

And has there ever been a MM game that's name wasn't final by the time we heard of it?

Sounds a lot like horse#####.

(In more ways than one!)

[preventerWIND]

People pretty much confirmed it's creation. The proof is all there.

[Abominator]

Oh, well if people said it then I believe it.

[Xero]

Just because you SAY it's true doesn't mean #####.

pics or it didn't happen.

[ASR]

It sounds too corny.

[NovaMan XP]

Sounds like Capcom. Because it's so corny.

[TheRedPriest]

It sounds #####ty enough to be real, I'll give it that.  But with a lack of any credible cited sources other than "people" I too would call horse#####.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, it's not official. My bad.

But I'm still willing to bet money that it's true.. ;;>.>

[Johncarllos]

Weather eh?
It must be true.
Capcom would ruin their last decent-ish MM series with that.....

[Friggit Deathblade]

If its true, than Dr. Light is going to go into his little corner and cry for making something great that eventually became so horrible. Then, he'll wonder where it all went wrong and realize it started with the blueberry muffins he ate the morning he decided to create robots in the first place. Damned muffins.

[TheRedPriest]

Weather eh?
It must be true.
Capcom would make their latest ##### MM series even worse with that.....

Fixed for accuracy.

And let's pretend for a moment, this might be true.  When was adding random stage elements to make things different ever good?  Look at that Nightmare BS from X6.  Using random elements to add diversity or replay is pretty damn poor game design.

[NovaMan XP]

Oh I can see the stages going pitch black now! SO MUCH FUN.

[Xero]

Let's hope it doesn't happen.

[preventerWIND]

It probably will, but I say as long as it doesn't piss me off, let it be.

[TheRedPriest]

Let's hope it doesn't happen.

Random stage elements or ZX3?

[ChaosVortex]

YO GUYS, LEAKED INFO FROM CAPCOM. MM9 CONFIREMED>

LEAKED BOSS: RANDOM MAN.

[Fatso]

YOU GET: RANDOM #####

[Xero]

Random Stage Elements.

[ASR]

No lie, I think it would be fun to play a MegaMan game that had every boss and every level in it from MM 1-6, and you just pressed a button and it randomized which level you play for you.

And you could only use the Buster, and there are small tweaks like whether or not you can slide or charge depending on which game the level is from.

[Dizzi]

holy crap? young Prometehus and Pandora?

i geuss this means no biometals

and no chance to use model Z (NOT ZX)

[Jose Luis]

I don't believe it.  Why would there be a game that goes back into the series.  Doesn't that just mess up the timeline, which is what a series should follow?  I don't buy it.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah, has there ever been a game that's done this before? It's stupid.

Well, I'm gonna go play some more Resident Evil 0 now.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I know what you guys are talking about. Why on earth would a sequel be a prequel?

*Plays some Dragon Quest III*

[ChaosVortex]

I KNOW! RIDICULOUS!

*Goes to play Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island*

[Winged Warrior]

Uhhh...

*watches cowboy bebop*

It has nothing to do with the prequel thing, Ed is cool.

[Mikero]

I don't believe it.  Why would there be a game that goes back into the series.  Doesn't that just mess up the timeline, which is what a series should follow?  I don't buy it.

MM games stopped following these so called "timeline" things you kids are all raving about. What is a "timeline", some kind of rave hallucinogen? Are you on the drugs?

[Neo Arcadian Hero]

So if ZXE is a prequel...

Wont that mean there will be a ZX4 to cover what happened in the secret ending of ZXA?

[Abominator]

Why exactly are we accepting that it's gonna be a prequel called ZXE?

There's no evidence to suggest this.

[ChaosVortex]

Because with a little faith and hope, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

...

#####, I want a goddamn Mega Man Powered Up 2.

[Johncarllos]

I want Megaman X for the Wii.

[ASR]

Because with a little faith and hope, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

This is the wrong game to be applying faith and hope to.

[ChaosVortex]

Hence the "..."

[ASR]

Simply emphasizing, my good sir.

[ChaosVortex]

Well done, young lad.

[Mikero]

[NovaMan XP]

My God, that's genius!!

[Johncarllos]

I just read every one of their comics.
Quality.

[NovaMan XP]

Same here just now. Great stuff.

[ASR]

Mike used to throw these out constantly so one day I saw the book at Barnes & Noble or Borders or wherever I was and got it on a whim after reading a select few fantastic pages.

Gold.

[Mikero]

Yeah but he basically doesn't do them anymore. He's supposed to update monthly but I don't think he does.

[ASR]

There's a small handful of strips that aren't in that book because they were added afterwards, and I noticed at least two updates via browsing over time.
I don't know if he has a schedule, but every once in a while a new one does show up.

[Mikero]

It used to be weekly, then it went to monthly. I've heard rumour that it's completely done but there's no proof of that.

[Danny]

Well, hopefully, that this one will possibly make up for that whole ridiculous one of mine in the X forum here , and that to simply get this one back on topic and keep it going of course, for me to put it much simpler this time, that this one much more recent update - http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2008/06/captivate-08-rumors.html should "refuel the sort of dying fire" I guess you could say and that I'm simply not sure if that this one - http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/34047/t1156273-april-sales/ will help as well or not, huh friends ?  >Danny<

[Xero]

Let's stop fooling ourselves.

It's obvious Capcom doesn't give 2 #####s about Megaman.

[Rama Olendris]

True or not... I'm NOT playing it.

[ChaosVortex]

-Within the next year, Capcom will be remaking several "classic" titles for PSN and XBLA. No specifics of what titles are getting remade, but RM titles are given.

I can assume XBLA is Xbox Live (What does the "A" stand for?), but what the hell is a PSN? Nintendo Playstation?

EDIT: Wait. Is that the online for Playstation 3? All this sounds like old news.

[ASR]

XBOX Live Arcade is where you can get the games offered on XBOX Live. Plain old "XBOX Live" is just the name of the entire online service, be it playing online or checking out the marketplace.

PSN is PlayStation Network, the PS3's equivalent.

[ChaosVortex]

Ah, so I was right. Then I already knew all this then.

[TheRedPriest]

Sounds like ass to me.  All that "Live" and "PSN" ##### is just that.  ##### digital copies.  I want a disc in a sweet case.  Otherwise there's no reason to not just #####ing pirate it.  Things are bad enough as is.  Though at least at some point I'll probably have a PS3 so if they do new remakes I'll still get to play them.  I'll quit playing video games before I ever buy a 360.
