If this keeps looking good this might be the final straw that gets me to buy an Xbox360 of my own (stupid, not being on wiiware!)
Man, I hope not.

TGS: Hands-on interview with Mega Man Universe
So I finally got some time in with Mega Man Universe, and so far, my feelings are mixed. I was initially put of by the game's visuals, but seeing them up close changed that. Other than a few unispired animations, the game is more or less on par the PSP title Mega Man Powered Up, except in HD, and without the super-chibi art direction. New characters like Bad Box Art Mega Man and Metto Man (both seen in this 12 minutes of footage) are surprisingly charming when seen up close. Bad Box Art Mega Man's huge lavender lips are hilarious. Sadly, the only issues I had with the game came from the controls. There is some question of the game's collision detection, which Tim will be telling you about seen. The jump button also seemed to suffer from some lag, which is something that Capcom can easily fine tune before release. It took a little getting used to, but once my instincts adjusted to the slight delay before every jump, I managed to clear the game's demo on Easy. On Hard, not so much. Anyway, enough out of me. Check out the interview and tell me what you think. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Hmmm, I wasn't expecting to hear anything negative about the controls. Although there is still plenty of time to work that out, I just wasn't expecting that. Mega Man titles usually have spot on controls. The game looks great (assuming they work out the control issue), and playing some good old school megaman with diffrent characters sounds awesome indeed. *crosses fingers for Zero (classic and MMZ versions)* Can you figure out what the customizable controls in MvC3 Seth referred to means? Can I actually have a 4 button layout? Or is it just re-arranging the buttons? Also, the Mega Man right of center @ 2:57 looks like the standard design. I'm sure they'll be throwing in the 8-bit version, especially with the huge amount of characters/variations that this game will have. Chop man is a custom Mega Man created by Capcom. My guess is that if you beat Metal Man, you can get the Metal Man parts, or at least, the arms, which is what it looks like Chop man is rockin'. who was filming this?! Show us the game, point the camera at the screen, especially when they aren't saying anything important. I want to see it.
If this keeps looking good this might be the final straw that gets me to buy an Xbox360 of my own (stupid, not being on wiiware!) @ RussianSambo- I hope it ends up handling like Powered Up, but so far, not so good. Another thing to consider is that all of the characters have their own stats, so maybe "jump lag" and "stiffness" are stats you have to build up in order to get the game's controls up to the standards of past Mega Man games?
Man, I hope not. Not sure if you weren't allowed to film long sections of gameplay, but I would have preferred to see more of the game. I can definitely appreciate mixing it up with different shots, but most of the film seemed to just be shot by someone standing over the scene. Kneel next time? @ Jonathan Holmes: you did post 12 minutes of footage, and for that we are grateful, but for the most part it was 12 minutes of looking at the top left corner of the screen which was disappointing, but understandable. This looked like a chance to actually get to see the game. 9:00 AM on 05.22.2013 People actually like the Maverick Hunter reboot conceptSome time ago, we learned off a rather odd project from Capcom -- a gritty Mega Man X FPS idea that never saw the light of day.
