Already being done. They're making an unreal tournament 2004 patch where the characters are changed to Megaman characters. I don't know where the link was, but I found it on gamespy.
Acually their canceling that project, there wasn't enough support. you guys should've helped. T_T Though they may restart it sometime.
If there is ever going to be anything simaler to a FPS featuring megaman, I think it should be done in a form simaler to "Oddworld: Strangers Wrath" Its a great game, that did 3rd to 1st person action very well. I think it should be like that if any. You all have to go rent it and play it now, thought its only for the X-box. But I'll give the best description that I can.
In Strangers Wrath, which happened to be a FPS/Platformer game, you could fight in both 3rd person with physical attacks to nearby enemys, OR you could pull out your crossbow and take em out thats way. All you had to do was press in the R stick, and it did the transition from 3rd to first well. And thats way would be best for megaman, just have close quarters attacked, then switch to your buster like that for far enemies. It seems like the best way for a game of its nature.
He had Beat on his side in The Power Fighters for CPS2 (Beat gave him limited invincibility), and a wall jump, so it wouldn't be hard if we used those sprites that are pseudo mm7 style, the way they are. And there's 16-bit Tango sprites on the internet, mostly on bobandgeorge, so those aren't a problem. Now for that story line...
When I was writing my fanfic I imagined having it as a motion picture with those anime cutscenes in Power Fighters, how they move and have mouths moving and stuff, just made to look like Power Fighters.
(If you want the rom of Power fighters, go to www.emuasylum.com and get the emulator Kawaks. Play away, it's quite a good game.)
Anyone else have any idea's of a 2-d protoman side scroller story? I don't think "Wily has kidnapped Megaman! Save him, protoman!" will do very well.
You know, i'm likeing this Idea more and more. Though I would prefer Protoman to be in 32-bit, OR his R&F form, though there are some missing frames it is still possible.
but the plot may not be the most involving and such, but has a MM plot EVER been any better? Can you honestly say, that the same plot in 8 games would be any better? I think thats simple might be the best way.
