  1. Those animations for Zero are SICK. Now THAT looks like Dr. Wily's magnum opus.

  2. I really should check out this game. I really love all the artwork it's produced for the Mega Man X series. So many cool pics!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I dislike the living hell out of the redesigns for the most part with few exceptions and the proportions of certain attributes on both X and Zero are gross looking but otherwise the art and production value is alright.

    What I really want is Kisuke to run wild with new art and designs for the X heroes, he's proven to be second to none, and should be the captain of the ship leading X series art forward.

    1. So rejoice, because Mizuno Keisuke IS currently the main artist for MMX. And nothing indicates that it'll change anytime soon.

      This game use a completely different styles and artists because it is a project unrelated to the various franchise presented in it.

      Delete
    2. It doesn't use a different art style for anything but Mega Man, even DarkStalkers had similar art styles to this game in the past.

      But I'm not talking about that I'm talking about DESIGNS of which the only one changed out side of X and Zero was Ryu and his was done in a vary sensible and minimalist way, he very much looks true to how Ryu generally looks, literally instead of having a ripped shirt thing he has a ripped scarf that looks like his old shirt thing, that's it, he's still mister muscle and all that jazz. Big difference between that and art style, while I like Keisuke on both fronts he doesn't actually get to come up with designs that often. He did the TruForce ones for X later for both X and Zero in MvCI as well as one for Sigma that never made it in cause the game failed, and I guess Rico and that blue Zero looking guy in XDive (all of which is why I would want to see more of him redesigning). That's I'm thinking it, to my knowledge.

      Also don't get complacent if Keisuke leaves they could replace him with someone/people like this, so right from the offset I'm letting them know what I think of things like this.

  4. Guys, the "Repairs" card, that's not Sigma's armor. I've seen that color scheme before, and this Reploid is referred as a mere grunt.
    I-is it posible? Could it be him... GBD?!

    1. If this is not the case, that's at least my headcanon from now on.
