Jesus dude, shut up will ya? You're judging all of this based off a 30 second clip that had him kill only 2 robots. And all of a sudden you're saying "THIS ISN'T MEGA MAN!" but yet you defend all the other Mega Man games. You bring Capcom into it for.. some unknown godly reason and making this seem bigger than what it really is. You're bringing the FPS genre into it for some unknown reason. You say Metroid Prime worked but this wouldn't, again, based off a 30 second clip.
How can you be open to variety with cards and chips and shit, but not be open to the possibility that Mega Man would make a good FPS. Oh that's right, I forgot, because Metroid Prime was handled by fans of the franchise. Totally forgot that Armature would have just fucked it up anyways because you can see into the future.
I won't until I've been correctly understood, I'm not defending other Mega Man titles as there are plenty of shit ones and I'm not saying that Mega Man is doomed or anything like that. Hell I would rather them let Mega Man rest and give their other franchises some attention like Ghost and Goblins for example. I'm not saying that this will turn out to be a terrible game either, I can't say that without knowing how it actually plays. Everything you've gathered from what I'm trying to get across is wrong.
What I am saying is that Capcom is trying to shift the entire company towards our market without knowing what they're throwing themselves into.
Completely giving up on many of the games they're loved for. Unlike Nintendo that always kept Prime as a side thing entirely handled by western devs and still pushed out a variety of games during Prime development.
RE, DmC and now Mega Man are trying to cater towards new audiences, but that new audience may not be interested and the older audience most likely wouldn't be interested either. They're trying to segregate the Asian and Western markets as completely different. Meaning less and less releases of their other games over here.
Mega Man might as well be an exception to this and result in a terrific game, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they made it a FPS because it's popular and that these kind of projects takes away attention from their other games fans of the company want.
However, Capcom seem to understand that now with their latest announcements and the decision to cancel this.
I would be happy to have a FPS MM as its own thing as long as they let things flowing like usual within the company. What we were seeing here is the equivalent of Nintendo trying to only cater to the soccermoms out there by only making Wiifit games, shifting away focus from their Metroids and Zeldas. All of this were signs of this new ideology change, but it's still nothing we could say for sure.
