This shows that it's not about fans or games, but business. Inafune wants to show that he can do better with Mega Man than Capcom, by making more money on it than them. Fans don't want this. They want Mega Man. That's what makes then fans. They didn't want a TV show or a competing brand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-33475799075026765832015-08-01T12:26:26.159-05:002015-08-01T12:26:26.159-05:00Wait, December 2016??

I...No Anonymous 2:04, you are the one full of shit. I'm not gonna even address all of your obvious slandering of Keiji Inafune, I'll just address one to exemplify the quality of the rest, because I can't be bothered dealing with the mind numbing rest of it.<br /><br />Even if I were to believe and ascribe your idea that Keiji is conning people into giving money to scam projects, how the fu** would he be doing that by announcing a TV show before a game came out??? If he asked for funds for the TV series that he will not be involved with and it turns out to suck, WHO IS THAT ON??? Why should he be responsible for your decision to support something he recommends and ties to his brand? Not only that but he never asked for a dime of money for the project on kickstarter or otherwise, literally Digital Frontier took it upon themselves to fully invest in their project. Yet they can't advertise it, develop it, dare I say release it all because of some arbitrary standard that the show shouldn't predate the game? Like really, that is the rational?<br /><br />By that same logic the joint Strider project started by Capcom and Moto Kikaku which the game was being developed on while the manga was being developed and released which were both released within several months of each other with major differences in lore. Or for a more recent example, if Sonic Boom the animated series required the game to be good than when it was released it should have tanked in ratings and reviews, but it didn't it had vastly better reception than the games, by your logic if the show came or was even announced before the game that would be a scam and shouldn't happen. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-88945316629144554482015-08-01T08:00:51.717-05:002015-08-01T08:00:51.717-05:00I took my money out of this project and plan on bu...I took my money out of this project and plan on buying the final product.

But these are stretch goals we should've had in the beginning, instead of having to put up extra funds just to unlock all the "episodes" of the prologue. With FUZE's funding the main content of the project, stretch goals can actually be for extra things, which is nice. (And how it should be done.) <br /><br />I doubt it will succeed in any case (time is low and backers are still dropping off), but if they *re-launch* the campaign and make it more like this, I'll feel much more optimistic about the project as a whole.

It is not a direct copy or replacement to Banjo-Kazooie, nor is it attempting to be one. For sure the two have plenty of strong similarities, but YL still intends (and actually tries) to do things its own way. The creators have also stated this.<br /><br />Red Ash on the other hand, quite literally copies plenty from Legends to the point where it looks almost nothing original. Call, Tyger and Tron v2 are all extremely obvious on who they are based off of, as well as Gopher to an extent. The Reaverbots even look like Reaverbots. Making a spiritual sequel is one thing, but it is another when it literally copies the source it is based off of and does not make any kind of attempt in having its own identity. Even the so-called Pokemon rip-off RPGs that plagued the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance era had something that made them unique.<br /><br />But besides that, it's also people irritated by the extreme mis-management of the past Kickstarter and this Kickstarter, which imo has fared even worse than MN9's. That's not something that's easily deniable.<br /><br />I wanted to be happy with Red Ash and to be thrilled, and I was at first, but it's just been one thing after the other. Playtonic at least has the courtesy of keeping realistic expectations and a very clear goal of what they want. Here's hoping they stay on it.<br />- Dr. Jerk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-650772782480617722015-07-31T14:10:31.818-05:002015-07-31T14:10:31.818-05:00We're not the ones dangling the bait of empty ...We're not the ones dangling the bait of empty promises in front of you until you cough up the dough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-19603392921354851682015-07-31T14:07:10.479-05:002015-07-31T14:07:10.479-05:00You're calling it a trend but ignoring the cau...You're calling it a trend but ignoring the causes of each step.

They're mad at him for handling these spiritual revivals like a scam, and it's clear for everyone to see that it is. Multiple kickstarters for the same project, talking about doing TV shows before the games are even out, and announcing that they've already received a publisher while a Kickstarter is failing, effectively rendering it moot. <br /><br />People are also mad at him because they realize what a charlatan he's been, both back when he worked at Capcom and after he left. He demonized the Japanese industry for not catering more to the West or being more like Korea, rather than encouraging them to be themselves and to stick with their strengths, while contradicting himself and being the man responsible for several of the failures that he pins on Capcom, like the Lost Planet franchise or Legends 3. That was his petulant exit interview with the hack game journalism media. While he worked at Capcom, he was also content with being called the "father of Mega Man" for the sake of popularity, even though he never created anything but Zero. Hideki Kamiya was right. Inafune is not a creator, he is a businessman, and an unethical one at that.<br /><br />What you're seeing now with people calling Red Ash a cheap knockoff of Legend reflects recent developments: a lackluster playtest demo released 25 days into the Kickstarter, made not by Legends developers but by mobile games & visual novel developers, while Yooka Laylee opened with a beautifully functional demo on day 1; and the fact that Inafune arranged for a shady Chinese company, with ambitions to making the next OUYA, to publish their poor spiritual successor to Legends.<br /><br />Make no mistake. These games are not labors of love. They are barely that, and we could not have realized this back when Mighty No. 9 was first pitched. These are callous, nostalgic cash grabs by a man with delusions of self-importance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-9907176039695088392015-07-31T05:13:51.867-05:002015-07-31T05:13:51.867-05:00How is it poor dishonest business?

The whole point of Comcept right, is to be sustaining and retain the rights to their IPs, no business wants to collaborate with another business that wants full ownership and creative freedom of the products especially if they are flipping the majority of the bill.<br /><br />So Comcept does a kickstarter with a long wanted series in mind as a spiritual successor of sorts, "PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT IT IS TOO EARLY FOR ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROJECT TO MN9"(<not yelling just emphasizing, and don't know how to bold my writing in black) their rational is they don't know what quality Comcept is capable of delivering based on how MN9 turns out, a more than 3 year old project, completely different style game with different developers in major areas that specialize in different things mind you. So they say they will not fund the project because of these reasons, oh and that Red Ash can't truly succeed MML an apparently unpopular opinion up until recent. So the project bombs. People than suggest that there is nothing of substance to base their decision on in terms of game engine and gameplay, so the team develops and releases a mock-up of a pre-beta engine releasing it so people can get a feel for the pre-beta gameplay using one pre-beta character model for a character playable in the finished game. People than say Comcept is getting desperate and that the project and its proposal is a mess. So Comcept eventually finds an investor from another country willing to fund them but let them keep full creative rights and the full licensed ownership of the thing.

It funded over 3 million US dollars. I don't hear their fans bashing their game and refusing to support their work because it's a blatant 'rip-off' of Banjo Kazooie, instead I see happiness and joy for their series and genre to finally get the attention that it deserves with a new light.<br /><br />Now, Mega Man Legends and Red Dash on the other hand, I see many fans with anger and unhappiness towards Inafune. Why? Because he is doing everything in his power to make a dream come true and to give the fans what they want. Even though what they want is completely out of his control (Legends3) so he's doing the best he can to make something that will appease them with the capabilities that he has at his disposal.<br /><br />Calling it a 'rip-off' and 'it is a mockery of Legends'? Really? We sound like a bunch of five year olds who didn't get their red Power Ranger instead got the blue Power Ranger for Christmas. Maybe we didn't deserve Mega Man Legends 3 after all.
