I found this out when i got home from work last night. i actually almost cried

He might do something else, he didn't say he was retiring.

The nips should be listening to this guy and treating him like gold. No wonder their industry is in the toilet.

Good

Maybe Capcom will start making some good games again instead of the garbage they've been shitting out over recent years.

>>77199845
he did say he WANTED to retire though. all the more depressing he wont stick around capcom to see the finish of legends 3, considering he was the one who wanted to finish it the most

Feels bitter, but would rather the guy do what he wants instead of remaining at a company he no longer wants to be a part of.

>>77199877
Exactly everyone seems to realize it's change or die time except for the actual industry.
You should see 2chan's /v/ it's full of them sadly calling out their own industries bullshit.

>its a sad day, my friends

Yeah, three days ago

How slow are you guys?

Good. He was a fucking hypocrite.

>>77199840

this picture...

>>77199840
>>77199706
these images describe how i feel perfectly

I imagine it went like this

Keji: "Can I PLEASE make Legends 3 now? PLEASE????"

Capcom: "OOOOOOKAY!"

Keji: "WOW REALLY? FINALLY! THANK YOU"

Capcom: "BUT WE NEED FAN CONTENT IN IT! DS ONRY!""

Keiji "Oh jesus, fuck you guys. Im outta here."

>finally can make dream game
>leaves during early production
Wait, is Megaman Legends 3 SERIOUSLY not going to happen now? That's literally all that has me sold on my 3DS

>>77199979sadly calling out their own industries bullshit.

Like?

I'm curious, what IS their industries bull? Cause it can't be constant sequels.

Wait... so is MML3 canceled?

>>77199979
I thought most people hated Inafune. Didn't 2ch bitch at him after he said all the games at the Tokyo game show sucked?

Everything in japan sucks now.

Is it too soon to declare 2010 worst year of the decade?

>>77200164
MML3 is still happening. The OP image was to troll you, and it worked because you are stupid.

Nothing of value was lost.

He's a hypocrite, bitching about how terrible the Japanese game industry is then turning around and doing nothing about it.

>>77200164
same here. also re revelations, but now i just dont know anymore

i think capcom are still gonna do it, but inafune doesnt have any design duties in it. just production and R&D

Is about how sega sucks balls.
>>77200269
I don't recall

>>77200164
still happening don't worry.

>>77199840
This image seems to imply that Capcom actually cares about ZX

>>77200297
>>77200297
>and it worked because you are stupid.
Fuck you.

Kenji should take his franchises with him.

Just sayin.

>mfw the last notable director left capcom
>mfw darkstalkers 4 is one hell of a longshot
>mfw when capcom lost the rights to rival schools
>mfw when dino crisis and onimusha are now dead

one gen is all it took....

>>77200348
it did get a sequel

>>77200426
So did Legends. Technically, Legends even got more than ZX.

>>77200412
When the fuck did they lose the license to Rival Schools?

Inafune had apart in closing clover, and he had little involvement in every megaman game. So why all the tears?

>>77200161
Makes sense. DS games are so limited, as a creator he must've been really pissed off.

>>77199954
Keiji got it greenlit; that's all he wanted to do. Sad fact is he hasn't had much input on game production in the last decade; and the last actual creative orchestrating he did was on the first Mega Man Legends.

The game quality will be fine since the creative staff that worked on the originals are still working on it. Save Inafune; but he was really just the budget manager on the latter ones.

>>77200518
They didn't. There are some licensing issues with the music. That's it.

>>77200297
>implying the heads of capcom will continue making this game.

inafune was the only force in the company that wanted it to get made without him they will decide to make more resident evil and street fighter.

I'm waiting for the day capcom loses their mind and puts Ryu in a third person shooter using hadouken to kill zombies.

>>77200515
>>77200426
>>77200348
That image was made in 2008.

>>77200412

This has to be the absolute worst generation for gaming so far.

>>77200348
Which is rather ironic, given that Legends gets a sequel over ZX.

Heck, we've seen new games for classic, Battle Network, and Star Force over ZX. We'll probably see an X title before a ZX one.

>>77200518
A while ago apparently. Its why we can't get a sequel, or a re-release on PSN. Still surprised they got Batsu in TvC.

Also, Inafune should work for Platinum.

>>77200675
>I'm waiting for the day capcom loses their mind and puts Ryu in a third person shooter using hadouken to kill zombies.
Fucking fund it.

Inafune said in an interview that management doesn't value the input of developers. No wonder he's leaving. Wouldn't be surprised if he left the whole country.

Campcom still owns the rights to Mega Man and they are still producing Mega Man legends 3

>>77199694
Damn son, it's just a video game.

I actually liked Capcom's western pandering attempts.
Bionic Commando was awesome, albeit short.
Dark Void was decent as well.
Dead Rising also had me playing for quite a while.

>>77200769
Does Advent not count anymore?

>>77200675
I remember the RE5 team telling EGM they were gonna put Akuma in Mercs...

>>77200675
They launched an entire section of their social website for MML3 and announced a new position for a fan liaison. If you honestly think they would back out now you are crazy.

>>77200818
In b4 he moves to Brazil.
>Nowadays, Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan
>Japan denies this and says the largest Japanese population outside Japanese territory is in the United States.

>>77200161
It was his idea to make it for the 3DS and to do the whole fan voting thing.

>>77200412
>my face when Inafune was the reason why we haven't gotten Darkstalkers 4 yet
>my face when Inafune was going insane and could've ended up like Sakamoto
>my face when Inafune is responsible for Dante getting redesigned in DmC

>>77200769
Legends even gets more love in general, like with having characters in the Vs games.

>>77200921
Capcom didn't make Dark Void. And I hate everyone that seems to think they did.

>>77200801
Why should Inafune work for Capcom?
I don't see any similarities in their philosophies.

>>77200924
>Does Advent not count anymore?
That was back in 08, and there's no sign we're getting another one.

>>77201021
Actually, all Inafune did was allow it.

BUT ITS TOO LATE FOR HIM TO TELL NINJA THEORY TO FUCK OFF.

>>77201170
Platinum isn't Capco-

OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

Inafune was a man that got way more accreditation for projects he had little creative input put with. The majority of his work was either artistry or production. The projects Capcom allowed him the freedom to express his full creative input bombed pathetically.

He likely was asked to resign after the recent losses he was to blame for. Lost Planet, Lost Planet 2, Dark Void, Bionic Commando, and the recent failure of Dead Rising 2--5 huge budget titles all failing in practically a row.

What would you have done?

>>77201042
Oh, nevermind then, I though it was like with Dead Rising 2;a third party made it, but under the supervision of Capcom.

>>77201038
Y'know fans of a series don't particularly like when said series gets indefinitely canceled and exist only as a feature to cameo in inter-company crossovers for ten to twelve years.

I don't get how people can think that way.

>>77201004
NO! MY HUSBANDU WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE! YOU'RE LYING!

>>77201262
Dead Rising 2 sold bad?

BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD.

>>77200924
>Does Advent not count anymore?
I wish it didn't. However, since the release of Advent, we have seen:
Two new games for the classic series
A collection of the Zero series
Two new Star Force games
A Battle Network/Star Force crossover
And the Legends 3 announcement

Given that we haven't heard anything about even interest in ZX, seeing a ZX3 is becoming more and more doubtful.

fresh content

>>77201441

oops, meant to post this

>>77199591
>BAW MY WAIFU WASN'T VOTED FUCK THIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>77201433
It was okay.

DR1 was better. It still didn't live up to expectations, especially considering how much money went into marketing it.

>>77201506
You know, he actually resigned BEFORE that.

Ever heard of a two week or a thirty day notice?

>>77201360
What are you talking about? I'm saying that Legends was being kept alive more than ZX has and ever will be.

>>77199591
Hey, that's cute. What does that picture with an X mark over the Legends 3 logo have to do with Inafune's resignation from Capcom?

http://www.themmnetwork.com/2010/10/29/mega-man-projects-still-carrying-on/

>>77200977
i might be crazy but capcom can pull the plug at anytime.

If they think MML3 won't make profit they'll cancel the project even if the game is 100% complete.

>>77201262
DR2 didn't flop, it actually shipped two million copies if I remeber correctly.

>>77201681
Sorta like the original RE5. And what Mikami did with RE1.5.

I still hope for RE1.5 to leak one day, since it WAS done last I knew.

>>77201681
No, they'll keep MML3 project going. There is a lot of fan expectations for the game, especially after opening so large with the announcement. Capcom could save to lose a little money by giving their die hard fans a game they want every so often.

Plus it's just a 3DS game, I doubt they're losing a lot of money by funding it. At the same time, it may actually turn a profit considering the library won't be that large on the 3DS when it comes out to begin with.

Inafune is a hack.

He should just retire like the crap artist he is.

I don't see what the fuss is about. Inafune was a hyprocrite for bashing the industry on rehashing when he brought us nothing but endless MM sequels and spin-offs. He killed off his own Onimusha franchise and gave us bland series in its place, like Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Shit, the man probably gave the okay to turn DMC into what it is now. This news should be celebrated.

>>77200993
In that pic, what was that game about?

Inafune wants his game to sold over 4 millions like RE5.

DR2 sold 2 millions.

Dude quits.

>>77202182
Oh, did you know the only reason he made Dead Rising was because Mikami decided to not use zombies in RE4?

How ironic that is seeing as Inafune was a producer on RE5 and the PS2 version of RE4.

>>77201639
I'm saying that at any time before last month in the last decade it'd be accurate to say it had been the series being given the least support in the franchise despite the fact they were the first picks for crossover characters.

While I don't believe the ZX games are likely to continue any more than you do; wouldn't you agree the preferable amount of time hasn't passed to make a caricature of it?

>>77201918
>Plus it's just a 3DS game, I doubt they're losing a lot of money by funding it. At the same time, it may actually turn a profit considering the library won't be that large on the 3DS when it comes out to begin with.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fans hype it up enough to build a bigger following. Especially if Sony announces a new handheld and we get a big fanboy loyalty war.

>>77202251
Looking at the image, I would guess it is Dancing Blade II: Tears of Eden from Konami.

W...
What!?
Is this because his design came out last in the contest the other day!?

>>77202390
Just wait for them to port it to the PSP2.

AND IT'LL BE LIKE MIKAMI ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT SOMEONE ALREADY QUIT.

The problem with Inafune direction is that he wants to mimic Western's big budget Hollywood style gaming, but that style CAN'T apply to Japan because Japan doesn't have enough budget to sustain gayme developing.

So despite selling millions, Inafune games are considered bombs because they do not meet the money they pour in dev time.

Japan should focus on smaller, lighter budget games, even if those games can't sell over 100K it will still be making profits since the dev cost is very cheap.

>>77202466

>>77202616
No, remember how he said working at Capcom was awful a few weeks ago? He also resigned shortly after, it just wasn't public until yesterday.

He's gonna be at Capcom until the end of the month. And you can't just quit suddenly and say WELL, IN TWO DAYS, I'M OUT OF HERE.

>>77202382
>wouldn't you agree the preferable amount of time hasn't passed to make a caricature of it?

Seeing how people are fags and hate the sereis anyway, I think it's safe to say it's as good as dead.

>>77202616
Inafune got fired for his shitty design admission.

JUST AS PLANNED

>>77202817
You will never have Inafune scribble Mega Man on a napkin for you... ;___;

Say, do you think they'll let Inafune keep his Ijiek jacket?

the man's produced nothing but shit this generation. moving along

>>77202746
Of course, you never seen Capcom employees getting whipped in the ass by glorious benevolent Inafune.

"Makes profits, not arts" he said.

The dude FORGOT how to fucking draw X.

And the only thing he can draw nowaday is the 8-bit sprite of MM and Zero and Roll.

>>77202903
I've always wanted that.

Fuck, I'd frame it.

Now he's probably so asspained over Capcom he'll never draw Megaman again. :((((

>>77202923
>Dead Rising
>shit

I'll give you about everything else though...maybe not Mega Man 9...but yeah...

Wait. Mega Man Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X were awesome remakes.

>Outspoken game designer Keiji Inafune

...who? seriously I've never heard of this guy until today.

>>77203040
That's not true; he never learned in the first place having not designed the guy that would finally get that name.

ITT: people think MML3 will be the same without Inafune

>>77203188
Are you 14 by any chance?

>mfw blue bomber doesn't make it into mvc3 now

>>77203205
Actually, he drew the art for X1-3.

Good riddance. Almost another Kotick

squall.jpg

>>77203222

No, I'm 28 and I just did a quick wiki and he was just the megaman character designer. whoopity shit seriously.

This isn't Gabe Newell or American McGee we're talking about here. It's an artist. Doodles out characters for Capcom in the 80s and designs a famous character.

>>77203459
>implying American McGee is important at all

>>77203273
I can see his Starforce version make it into the game..

>>77203298
No he actually didn't. He did some of the sprite art. But Hayato Kaji did the bulk of the illustrations for the games.

>>77203603
Oh?

WELL I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY. Thank you.

Wait a minute...why does the MMX art look like Inafune's BoF art then? I know he drew some stuff for that.

>>77203273
I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to be in it in the first place.

Inafune is indeed some shitty artist that got high heeled after the true father of MM left the building.

Here's the true father of MM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokuro_Fujiwara

>>77203459
>Gabe Newell or American McGee
>implying half-life and w/e did much for the industry
only good thing to come out of HL is CS

>>77203517

Only made one of the best selling PC games of all time. nothing..nothing at all.
