Mega Man X9 question.

[TheRedPriest]

Compare X1 to X8 in terms of stage design and gameplay and there is no contest.  X1 was 12 levels of fast paced action platforming.  X8 is a lumbering, decrepid garbage bag of gimmicky stage design that ranges from not quite as bad as Metal Hammerhead to almost resembling something in a real platform game.

And that's a major part of the problem.  All this "sneak stage", "bike stage", "giant robot chases you stage" ##### doesn't add variety at all (and not because they're just poorly designed or implemented) they only serve to detract from the fast paced, tight controling platform gameplay that built the series.

And that's WITHOUT all the other bull##### that's encrusted the series as well.

I just realized I have an issue with the question of this thread, and I've been unaware of it for three pages;

"If Mega Man X9 goes for Wiiware/PSN/XBLA, would you want it 16-bit SNES graphics?"

I'm going to have to say "No.", and say for other reasons than just my first ones (but the point stands). It's not that I don't like the graphics. It's just that since MM9 was so great, it seems like people now think a MegaMan game has to have and older school of graphics to be that good.

That is stupid.

MM9 is a great game because it PLAYS like a great game. It could have almost looked like anything, and played great. It's look just added a feeling, and was one part of the whole machine that came out as a superb piece.

So for an X9, they shouldn't just make it 16-bit because "oh look how good MM9 is in 8-bit return to form", they should give the look that's APPROPRIATE for the game.

I was thinking that the other day, like "A Mega Man X9 would be great if they brought it back as a 16-bit game!" and now it's more of a, "Eh, I dunnoooooo..."

I think it would be better if only because they're not focusing so much on the graphics as they are the gameplay. Same issue as MM9 in that respect.

I would say Hell No!!I'd rather wait for half a year and play it.Than play it sooner at a crapier graphics.

Stop posting, seriously.

The question's meaning is "Would you like Capcom to go back to origins with MMX9, sort of like they did with MM9?"
And the graphics usually don't affect the gameplay much, you can enjoy a good NES game as much as a good Wii game.



I don't know why I even bother.
