Koji Oda, director of Mega Man 11, is directing Star Force Legacy Collection. While he wasn’t able to appear at the show, he shared a message with fans, explaining that the team—made up of former Star Force staff—is working hard to create a collection with unexpected features that surpass a simple port.
All of the BGMs are being rearranged for the collection. What started as a plan to update only a few tracks grew into a full project to rearrange every piece from all three games. Players can switch between the new arrangements and the original music any time.
Autosave, a much-requested feature absent from Battle Network Legacy Collection, will be included this time. Each game in the collection will also support multiple save files.
The dev team is preparing additional “easy mode” features beyond the already-confirmed no random encounters option and Mega Buster 500%. Their goal is to provide a range of options that make the games accessible to players of all skill levels.
Although he didn’t contribute to Star Force Legacy Collection’s main visual, former series artist Shinsuke Komaki created a special commemorative illustration for attendees (above).
Those were the main takeaways from the event. While many hoped for additional details, such as a possible cross-game PvP and a release date, the presentation largely recapped features that had already been announced.
More updates are on the way, so keep an eye out.
Is there any way we can request an optional hard mode? I'd love difficulty options to also be allowed to make things harder.
ReplyDeleteI know it's near impossible for this to happen and many people would disagree with me because of Mighty no.9, but i kinda wish Inafune would come back to some extent. I can't shake this feeling that Megaman's massive hiatus had something to do with his departure and not only financial/marketing purposes. All megaman series games were halted completely the same year he left.
