I don't disagree with people who say a MM FPS COULD be done, but:
1) It would still be awful, whatever form it takes 2) It would have to be a new sub series like Legends or BN/SF that used a totally different style of gameplay/aesthetics
I dunno. FPS in general are just garbage. Look back at the ORIGINAL Doom. THAT was a FPS. Now they're all just linear corridors with cover combat and infinite health with checkpoints every 5 steps. And no one even PLAYS single player on them. It's all online multiplayer. No one gives a wet dog fart about the single player modes. The genre is rancid and killing the industry. "Updating" stuff via making it an FPS is just... pants on head retarded.

Don't force yourself to play something you hate. We ALL want to love a series that stars Zero. MMZ is abysmal though. No shame in just not liking it. Play X4 if you want to play a Zero game, it's virtually perfect.

3. The gameplay should retain most of the core Megaman aspects.
I can't face palm enough. FIRST. PERSON. SHOOTER. Yes, that will sure keep those "core" elements in place, won't it? 4. If there is an online multiplayer, there better be a good netcode.
Especially since Mega Man has a long and rich history of multiplayer online game play. Oh, wait... Anyone who thinks any of that FPS garbage was a good idea, isn't interested in "freshening up" Mega Man, they're interested in a different game.

Don't get me wrong. I think Megaman would take very well to the First or third person shooters. I think, with a competent team behind it, Our favorite blue shooting dude could grow up and tell a mature story. They would have to reinvent megaman in a sense, without spitting on the legacy he has in the first place. To that I say No risk, No reward.
BULL****. I'm sorry, that comment is so caked in Bull**** I won't let it slide. You don't "reinvent" Mega Man as a grim and gritty FPS without EXPLICITLY spitting on the legacy he has. Moving to your next point for a moment... Capcom has rebooted megaman plenty of times before in X, Battlenetwork, Legends, Zero, ZX, and Starforce. I am confident that if they really put their hearts into it they could REALLY PANDER to us 20 somethings that have been loyal to the series.
None of those were "reboots". They were spin offs. Some of them were totally different genres/types of games. That's ok, because they WEREN'T the same series. Battle Network is an isometric action RPGish game. Legends is a 3D Dungeon Crawler Action/Adventure game without ANY of the core "beat boss gain weapon" game play Classic and X were built on. Do you honestly think if Legends had come out as Mega Man 8 and Capcom just said "we've updated Mega Man welcome to the future" that people wouldn't have been pissed? Even that aside, Legends is frankly NOTHING like what Mega Man is. It's a Mega Man flavored game. But again, that's ok, because it's a spin off. This X FPS would have LITERALLY taken Mega Man X and flushed everything about it down the toilet to make it something it's not. If this was a spin off, some new Mega Man in an alternate reality, some distant future, whatever, then even if people hated it (and I really think most fans would have), then it harms NOTHING of what is already established. You do NOT change genres for a game series and call it "updating" it. It ruined Metroid, it ruined Resident Evil, and it would have been no different with Mega Man. I mean, it's all academic at this point, at least for THIS aborted horror, but if Capcom REALLY feels there is no future in REAL Mega Man, then just doing an actual reboot or new sub series the the only respectful to do it.

Legends also wasn't trying to be Mega Man 8 or Mega Man X6 and saying with a straight face "this is actually Mega Man in 3D". Legends was it's own game/series/entity that was Mega Man flavored, and it was ok it didn't play or look like Classic or X because they weren't trying to pass it off as either. This project is literally "It's Mega Man X even though it's not at all".

Don't you know, the only way to modernize a series/franchise is to make it an FPS. Look how well it worked for Metroid, it was utterly the most perfect and not totally the wrong way to bring it into 3D PERFECTLY.
The entire argument/concept/premise that it has to be a FPS to modernize it or make it relevant is beyond flawed. That's the real issue, not the rushed/incomplete/raw/rough/concept video they made.

Nostalgia does not make a bad game good, it makes you remember bad games fondly. X1 really is probably the single best Mega Man game ever made. It holds up to damn near anything made today just because of how well it was designed. MHX really was a huge step down from MMX, simply because it tried to fix what wasn't broken.

Facebook is generally rubbish. It's genuinely good for catching up with some long lost friends, but god people go WAAAAY to far with posting stuff sometimes. And it's now gone full on exploitation with the ads and ##### showing up in news feeds.

... you didn't know it was from Slayers? Oh my.
And I LIKED Revolution all in all. It was so much better than Try. Evolution-R was ok, but weaker than Revolution. Though seeing Rezo's ghost smack Xellos down was so f'ing awesome. No one messes with The Red Priest!
