Today a new Arkham game was announced with the handheld title being developed by Armature Studios. A title they were previously working on was Maverick Hunter, a Megaman X FPS. It has since been canned, but Polygon has some vids of the game in action. So that's Armature's credentials. Thoughts?

Megaman X....As an FPS.......Thank god it didn't happen.

I see everything that I feel had been going wrong with each consecutive prime game after 1 in that video.

I have never been more hyped for a retro metroid u.

My brain cannot fathom the awfulness that is this game.

 

We were all done a favor by it being canceled.

There actually is an 8 bit Megaman fps. Here is the link to the site.

However, this doesn't look that promising, but it was done by people who made Metroid Prime. That would have at least made it a solid game.

It was made by armature studios, founded by 3 former retro studio employees.

Not 'the people who made metroid prime'.

In particular, we have the person who was lead design most known as the person who modeled todd kellars parasite queen concept, who was then promoted to game director who then began slowly ruining the series starting with echoes, and continuing with corruption. A fantastic lead designer, however, as a game director he was not able to match his predecessors who directed prime, Satoru Iwata and Yoshio Sakamoto, and slipped further and further with each prime he directed.

Todd Keller, lead artist. His work includes the conceptualization of the flower in which Flaahgra is situated, the Parasite Queen and Reactor Core, and the basis for Phazon. Keller also worked with Matt Manchester to create an ore with Phazon that is present in the Phazon Quarry room of Corruption. His work is just as fantastic as ever, but even he cant stave off the absurdity of realistic megaman.


And Jack Mathews, lead technical engineer. Who, although massively talented, is responsible for nothing anyone here cares about

It would have definately been solid. Even if i really, REALLY dislike the direction Pacini took the prime series when the rein were given to him after the first prime... They are still fantastic games better than 90% of anything out there. (But im still glad Pacini is not directing metroid anymore... Sorry Mark.)

But even they couldnt save a megaman X where Your publisher wants a realistic art style, ie original megaman box art...

It was a doomed concept.

I'm guessing greedy crapcom shut the project down. They must really want Megaman dead!

Thanks for the link. I would probably love it since it uses the Doom engine and I love Doom.

No problem. It's really fast paced, so if you like twitchy games it's perfect.

I will have to try it out. Minor imperfections dont bother me too bad.

I don't know what you guys are looking at. I'd have loved to play this.

Megaman X....As an FPS.......Thank god it didn't happen.

my thoughts exactly, even if it WAS very much like metroid prime. no thanks. especially if they didn't have any plans to make him LOOK like the megaman x we know.

 

Sadly though, i know capcom is still in the works of a FPS megaman, it was probably canned for quality and timing reasons more than anything. 

MARK MY WORDS! a FPS megaman game will come out one way or another
