Another canned gem, or another Bomberman Act Zero?

Ugh...to headlinish. Well from what was seen it didn't look that bad.

Looks a little dark (visuals wise) and needs more arm transformations but certainly could have been good. It's a real shame this never made it.

Uh, read Polygon's headline again. The game was just named Maverick Hunter, followed by "the Mega Man first-person shooter that could have been."

Uhm...So? I don't care.

Just made a thread about it, and a title and info. Neutral

Oh, I like the color-coded platforming signals... kind of reminds me of Mirror's Edge. I also like the jump-dash. The design isn't so hot, I would've liked bad box art Mega Man.

Pretty sure the colour coding is just because that's a test level. It certainly looks like one.

Geez, that looks like it's Megaman in name only. Like it was trying too hard to be to Megaman what Metroid Prime was to Metroid, yet at the same time losing the adherence to the source material that made Metroid Prime work.

Ehhhhhh, it kinda seems interesting. Sure, it's definitely not Megaman, but that doesn't mean it would've been another Act Zero.

I like that they tried to implement actual Mega Man X game mechanics into it, but the transition just doesn't work quite as well as it did with Metroid.

Would've been interesting to play but I'm not exactly mourning over the fact that this got canned.

Could've been really cool if it was a bit more polished

things like charged copy weapons in this would have been awesome and stuff

Well, these were like, alpha builds, so of course they'd be unpolished.

But even for an alpha, it just felt like "generic sci-fi shooter with a blue robot dude" rather than Megaman. I imagine that might have been a factor in canning it.

I think the fact that it's Mega Man is why they canned it. I forget if I posted about it, but Rockman Online was canceled like last month, so there is literally nothing announced that's Mega Man-related unless you count Project X Zone.

XOver hasn't come over because Capcom knows we think it's a stinking pile of ****.

It's 8bit games forever from here on out. RIP Mega Man.
