Not sure anyone had this on their bingo card for 2024, but we're finally getting a possibly competent MMBN-style game.

It's 2024 and I finally jumped on the AI train. Besides telling me what to do as my assistant as well as the ability to play Diablo 4 for me, what kinds of things should I consider using it for?

Anyone have any experience or stories about modern AI to share with the rest of the class?

A few gaming sites have latched on and reported it as well already, but hey, best to maybe read it here as well.

No real details at this time, outside of "IT'S HAPPENING!", with the article having a brief description of the Classic series. I could personally see Classic working as a CG movie, but seeing as these are the people that brought us stuff like Planets of the Apes remakes, I could totally dig an X series style movie that looks at the relationship of humanity and sentient robots that sometimes like to kill them after getting porn viruses.

Either way, it is yet another thing from the woods showing Capcom is ready to cash in on all dat sweet Megaman nostalgia, and there exists the possibility that this actually releases before the Metal Gear Solid movie, so that could be a thing to wear as honor?

Long story short, original NES set will be sold on all major platforms this summer, including PC, and have new stuff in it. Things that seem to be like NES Remix challenges as well as art galleries and other things. At the very least, this is gonna be a good bargain by merit of the original 6 classic games, and I do believe this is the first time people can "legally" play the original classics on their PC.

The big thing to note is that this is a CoA project, which is important due to them constantly mentioning in past interviews that CoJ kept blocking them from doing stuff in the past with the series, even as simple as allowing X8 and other PC released games to be put on Steam in the past. This is a good indication, since it means we're not repeating the Sega of Japan vs Sega of America mentality that ultimately put Sega out of business, only Capcom edition, so this is a good step for the future.

Another major note is that the article notes that this is being done in a new engine that is intended to act as a "future proof" design, basically remaining faithful to the original games, while also being able to be ported to just about anything. As I rambled at a wild eagle earlier, this potentially means that at the end of the day, CoA now has a fancy Megaman editor style program with which they can churn a functional MM11 out that functions just like the original games, compared to before, where MM9&10 were created by scratch and likely discarded like most source codes after the project is completed.

Baby steps, but this is a step in the right direction finally. We've gone like... 5 years now without any real Megaman games?

Was browsing that site and found more articles from today about the state of all things in the house of Rock.

http://www.gamnesia.com/news/theres-a-lot-more-going-on-for-mega-man-than-whats-being-reported#.VW5nns9Viko

So it seems there is some new person in charge of the series now, and Capcom is ramping things up. Maybe we'll finally move away from the realm of Airman air fresheners and shipping tape, and possibly back to the realm of digital downloads. You know, baby steps by this point, since Capcom seems to be unable to really make any new games these days, outside of running old code into converters and slapping "HD" on their older titles, so best to have some lowered expectations during all this.

Whatever comes of it all, I doubt it will be as bad as Xover or Capcom's endorsement of Street Fighter x Megaman as a stand in for his 25th anniversary.

No clue which series it will be based on, but they have 26 episodes lined up and expect to release them in 2017. Tradition dictates that when Capcom is spending money for Megaman cartoons / animes, they are used to promote  the series, so this COULD also be indication that our favorite tin can might be clawing his way out of the recycle bin and back into relevancy once again.

Given Sonic Boom was crapped out in far less time, we might be able to rule out souless CG, so possibly flash? It is being handled by Man of Action, who is known for Ben 10 and Generator REX, so get those mixed feelings revved up. Also gonna guess that due to the prior shows that company has worked on, this might hit Cartoon Network, which could do the series some good for actual exposure for once.

Oh, and Viz just agreed to host the 26 episodes they dubbed of Star Force to Hulu, if you need a reminder of how bad things really were when the franchise went kaputz last time.

http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2010/09/mega-man-legends-3-is-real.html

So... Duke Nukem Forever and MML3 announced and coming out basically at the same time. The Mayans and Nostradamues couldn't even forsee this level of madness, I bet.

So who else died a bit on the inside? I know my head still hurts since it's not actually trolling for once, but still hard to belive it's real...

Edit: Meh, I'm a moron. Nothing to see here, mosey on along to the other fancy topic. Ah well, the source has links to the Developer's blog and all by piggy backing Protodude's link about it. Sorta better than the speculation topic, maybe?

First off, sorry if this is the wrong section to ask, but it's sorta a broad question, so figured this area works for that.

Over the past few years, CoA and I think... Udon has been publishing those Complete Works booklets over here in the good ol US of A for our wallets to devour. Just really curious if anyone else here has any of them (Classic / X / Zero / Soon to be MMBN), and if anyone could attest to the quality and if it's worth tracking them down or not. Like is the X series one a literal translation of the bad fan translation bit about how Light made the Maverick Virus that caused most of the older fanbase that still cared about some form of storyline to just up and move, or no?

I've put off buying all those books that keeps getting published in the past few years due to bad timing on money and other stuff, or just forgetting they exist...

Link is here

So... How's about that Zero NOT killing the Classic characters out?

Or even better! How about that Question 6, where the virus actually REVIVED Dr. Wily in the X series, and Inafune publically shown that he's so very, very special at pulling whatever ideas out of thin air he wants, and dubbing it plot?

Decent read, outside of that 6th one, since... Yeah... Anywho, does this mean Rez is going to recreate the "Shot heard around the world" with that kind of bomb dropped?

Game is the hardest FF I've played since the NES original cart I own, or possibly FFXI, though the latter is more of a time sink by nature, and hard in different ways... Though... This game shares a good bit in common with the original FF now, as far as practice and application seems to go. Oh yeah, 3-10ish gil from fights, which feel and act like struggles of life and death for a change, and most of your winnings go to the Inn, so welcome back to RPG Gameplay of True 92, where grinding is your only form of safety from the enemies, since unless you find it in a chest or win it from a fight, odds are that the shiny gear you see in stores is just there to remind you how poor you are. 

Enemies cast Break/Petrify right as soon as you leave Baron, and also cast Slow on you too. Enemies also seem to have Counter Magic now, where if you cast certain things on them, they'll cast preset spells of their own, like Reraise, and reviving all their pals you just killed... Oh yeah, Goblins/Imps? Lowest enounter rating they've ever had in a FF game now, replaced by the new Ahriman enemies that I really don't remember right outside of Baron at the start of the game, which now appear as regularly as those did. Lots of harder level mobs popping up so far that shouldn't be where they are, unless my memory is failing me, since old game and aging player are kinda getting up there now.

Pretty game is definetely pretty, though. All the major plot scenes so far, save for a few, have actually been voiced. Kain is so hardcore old world talk, that he's rose even higher on the scale of greatness, for people that fap to the Dragoon stick. Cecil and the rest... Not really that old world in dialog. Story rewrite is pretty good too, and definetely more fleshed out than past renditions, which is a great perk.

So two hours in, and "SES SIL" is about level 17-18 now, and enemies still can wipe him out in a single turn. Finally got Sage Tellah, and things are starting to even out a bit, but just a little. Going to sink more time into this, since it feels like a pure gem, especially after that LOLSTARFORCE deal...

Seriously, that's awesome, since it saves me about $500 to play the latest installment in a generic RPG series that's all fluff and flash for a quick bit of cash. Now me and countless others have a title in the future that will basically ensue we have a strong case of RRoD in the near future, and everyone wins financially but us! Woohoo!

Guess it's a good thing Microsoft announced yet another 360 variation to phase out the old 20 GB model, since this thing is supposed to be a beast on the space it's going to take up, eh? EH!?!

Seen some rumors flying around furiously lately about this, and posts seem to indicate that it's a port or "Enhanced" version of the first game. Any truth to this? I'm a lazy bum, and didn't bother checking any links on it, since blogs and the like are completely worthless to me, in this era where opinions and rumors apparantly are fact if enough people scream loud enough about something.

Anyone know the REAL deal on this? Is the GREATEST of RPG games coming out to the most popular handheld system released thus far? Or is this just something along the lines of the rumored third game that SE bought the naming rights for and even poked about some ideas and I think a trailer in the past about, and it turned out to just be a big rumor since SE quickly turned around and said it was? 

Looks awesome, and made of even more pure win since Akroyd said it's basically the 3rd movie to the series, using the script he had in mind for awhile now.

Epic game is going to be EPIC?

Anyone have any servers they'd recommend to jump on/avoid, or any other advice to prep for this lackluster event?

I know next to null about WoW other than Blizzard made it, and it's cartoony looking, and is the biggest MMO in playerbase since... Everquest, I guess. So any input about classes and other stuff is appreciated.

All good sites need one topic to remove their clutter from such a great game, so why not?

Anywho, I'm looking to fill up as much of my Dex Entries as possible before the 11th of this month, given I'll be without wireless internet after that for an undetermined amount of time, and I've got a few things up for trade as well as breed requests. Take a look around, and see what you want, and what you can offer, perhaps?

Inafune seems to think so.

From the way he talked in that interview, it still makes me think that not all is well in the Rockman Land of Cash Cows and Funny Money. Then again, it sorta sounds like Inafune's team had a hard time dealing with the new demands on creating the next gen engines that he utilized for Lost Planet and Dead Rising.

I dunno. DR and LP were supposed to be two of the best 360 games out there, yet the Megaman series keeps taking constant hits here and there, so the price doesn't seem validated to me.

So... With all these fun updates coming in every business day of the week, it gives quite a bit to think on.

Today's update brought us the return of several old Pokemon for the Pokeball Item, and gave way to some even more interesting information... This time around, it seems that the extremely rare Mew will be dropping a disc of some sorts, and from what Sakurai posted, possibly other items as well.

Anyone have any guesses on what they'll be dropping, and what the CD's purpose holds? I'm inclined to think that they'll be dropping rare trophies, myself, and that the CD is one such item, or else it'll trigger an unlock of sorts, maybe even new stickers.

I know at least Rez has to have this "Gem" of sorts, and I'm curious about any kind of highlights it listed off in it's pages. I already know of the great controversy of how Light created the Maverick Virus due to the special chip design he used, which constantly made Reploids think until they went insane, or something of the sorts.

So yeah, any other great highlights or things that got contradicted in this book?

I know at least a few of you have made them, so why not compile them all here?

I've only made a few so far, since I lost my old code and got a new Slim PSP since then, but they're so so, I guess. Not as epic as something ASR has tossed out, or Abandoned Base quality to return PSP's to the store, but I guess they're pretty fun to play

Wanted to see if I still had the magic fingers that I used to have on my old PSP and copy of MMPU. Put a modest amount of thought and real effort into this stage, and it's actually one of the best I have done, to date. GOOD LUCK FINDING THE LAZY PARTS! : DDDD

Got bored with too much time on my hands, and whipped this up over the course of a PSP battery and a half. Hopefully it rekindles some nostalgia, or at the very least, is decent in design.

So yeah, anybody else own this entry in the BF series, besides Ares?
