Corporate Japan is all fucked. Capcom as far as I'm concerned broke my heart years ago.

Pretty depressing to hear that. They won't Inafue finish his old projects and would rather can them, but they'll still let Korea make the MMO.

Fuck that, XS has been one of my favorite RPG despite the subpar gameplay.

Megaman without megaman however would be too weird.

Fuck you, Capcom. Fuck you.

You know though, as much as I'm pissed at Capcom about this, Inafune isn't without fault in the whole situation either. That comment makes me mad, yeah, but at the same time, if you were a business and presented with the situation as it was with Inafune (badmouthing Capcom frequently before his departure, etc), would you really want to keep the guy around to finish those projects after he quit? In that respect, I can't say I blame Capcom, but the sum of this is just going to end up (to the majority of people) with Capcom coming out smelling like shit and Inafune like roses, when they both had a part, albeit not equal, in this whole breakdown.

**Corrderio** · 2011-09-19 10:51

Inafune is only part of it like you said, but Capcom has been making some other dumb choices. It seems like they gave up on the Ace Attorney series in the US and IIRC isn't SF4 Arcade or MVC3 Ultimate unplayable if you're not online?

**Apelila** · 2011-09-19 11:20

Dont forget about the resident evil on 3DS - 'buy it again to replay it'

**Rokku** · 2011-09-19 11:21

That's all well and fine, but what does any of that have to do with the current topic? Be mad at Capcom all you want, plenty of us are. I'm saying the amount of hatred and blame being pushed solely on them over this single project is getting out of hand/blown way out of proportion is all.

dead to me since dragon quarter, etc

Never fails that you'd drag Dragon Quarter into a discussion about anything Capcom!

**Katlan** · 2011-09-19 11:38

why do you all keep bumping this thread and getting my hopes up.

Not sure where you heard that but uh, no, it's not a thing.

Hey everyone, Sorry for the Necro Bump. And sorry its not to say its un-canceled. But Theres been a lot of news over the past few months with Megaman Legends 3. I thought I'd give you guys an Update. I know a lot of you here really wanted the game, So this post is two Fold. First, Here's some new Info:

http://www.facebook.com/notes/100000...82093961864852

Greetings, Jake Hans here from GetMeOffTheMoon International Strategies. I personally hope that you are in good health and spirits. Over the past two weeks, 100k leadership has been pressing for an influential Capcom representative to make a public statement on what reaction, if any, that our community will receive when we reach 100,000 members. On this hyperlinked Ask Capcom thread, the following post was made on a daily basis:

“This thread is about a small collective of passionate Mega Man Legends fans that have chosen to treat GetMeOffTheMoon as an unpaid full time job and to become financially invested in promoting awareness. I have made the argument in this thread that if Capcom were to make a statement that confirmed Mega Man Legends 3 is not going to happen in any form no matter what the fans accomplish, the revival efforts could reach a conclusion as the movers and shakers of GetMeOffTheMoon would release a statement and move on to other life pursuits.

Either close the door or throw these people a bone. Please.”

Capcom of America’s Vice President, Christian Svennson, responded by saying:

“I've watched this thread for several days. I'm not sure how to respond to this thread in any way that doesn't get misinterpreted and rebroadcast all across the net. As such, beyond this message with a little /nod to the guys who've displayed such passion and love, I'm not sure there's any 'official' response I or anyone else can give you.”

The key points that can be drawn from this exchange:

1. Christian Svennson, with the option to announce that the fans have nothing to gain in the revival efforts, did not close the door on a Mega Man Legends 3 revival.

2. The broad Mega Man Legends community revival efforts got direct positive acknowledgement from an influential individual within Capcom.

However, keep in mind that at the same time, this is NOT an official encouragement that our efforts will pay off. It is still very possibly that they won't. Yet, that hardly means that we should give up any time soon.

Together as a community we have accomplished so much, and I truly believe our efforts were in the name of friendship. Games come and go, but it is the emotional connections we have with people that make life worth living. Our strength lies in the genuine camaraderie we share. Our destiny is controlled by us alone, so when we hit 100,000, let’s show Capcom we are a respectful community that in turn deserves respect in the form of a straight answer as to why a completed product crafted with our own collective hand was not given a chance. Because if our work were given a chance now, you better believe we have the tools as a community to PROMOTE and CAMPAIGN for it with a force unseen in any other fanbase. With that, I wish you well. Legends Never Die!

This is from the Facebook Page. Its going strong. If you haven't visited it yet, and want to make this game happen, Please go to the Facebook Page and Like it. Then, become a Servbot by registering to the Devroom. This above post shows just a glimmer of hope. They didn't entirely shut us down, They didn't exactly say "It will pay off", But they didn't completely shut down the idea. Its little thing like this that give me hope.

Further... It looks like Keiji Inafune knows and supports our Efforts, I can't find the exact Link, But Heres something related:

http://www.facebook.com/notes/100000...66126250128290

"Today, Japan is too self-indulgent. Once something comes easily for a developer in this industry, that developer doesn't even want to risk having setbacks again. I, too, have felt like that before, back when I was at Capcom, just after I began my career as a producer. This was more than 15 years ago. I got to participate in the production of "Mega Man Legends", which at the time was a new 3D Mega Man series for the Sony PlayStation. However, working as producer was quite tough. Although the Mega Man franchise itself had released lots of titles by that point, sales were in a decline. Because of that, the fans and Sony weren't expecting a new Mega Man series. Hardly anybody even asked us for an interview, so I thought I'd have to work hard to sell this as a producer. However, it wasn't that easy and the game's sales turned out miserably. Now lots of Mega Man fans are talking about Legends, but it wasn't like that at that time. This experience is both my biggest failure and biggest treasure in my video game career."

Basically, not sure if all of you are keeping up with the Bring Back Megaman Legends 3 Efforts like i am, And Awareness is a huge part of these efforts, Figured just in case you guys weren't keeping up, I know Megaman has some supporters here. I know it seems like an uphill battle, But the creators of this Facebook page aren't lazy slouches, They're out there fighting for it, and Us getting to 100,000 Is showing our support.

Once and finally, Sorry for the necro, Just didn't want to create an entirely new thread when one already exists. Plus, A lot of this is new information.

**Raldo** · 2012-04-04 21:49

I'd certainly still love to see the game but... what the hell could a group of people be doing regarding this game that could ever be considered as intensive as an "unpaid full-time job"?

**Apelila** · 2012-04-04 21:57

I considered bumping this a couple days ago then thought to myself "No, Capcom hates us and will never make this game. And if they do, it will probably suck now that it's been in/out of development and the original team has disbanded."

My only hope if it does get made is that it serves as a capstone, and anything afterwards is a subseries like Zero was to the MMX games.

Trigun · 2012-04-04 22:05

I read CAPCOM's Captivate 2012 was 2 days ago.
A week from that is when the embargo will be lifted and info will be shared on all future plans.

I need to see if the old games are on PSN. I started one of them but never finished.
