I think largely people in gaming spaces don’t understand homaging aesthetic references and assume it must be a secret narrative.

I think they should just make some damn megaman games, then people won't be grasping for megaman games

But seriously the presumption people are making here is that the same Capcom idiot execs that ruined Wilds by shoving it out the door early also hate Megaman games So if you ARE stealth-making a Megaman game, you aren't admitting it to VGC Like remember From lying to Sony about Demon Souls

You don't need to "homage" your own IP, you can just use it Unless say you're deliberately hiding it from the absolute knuckle draggers that ruined your biggest franchise to try and juice quarterly numbers last year

Okay, but I want a Megaman game, secret or otherwise.

the company that regularly lies about its games and makes megaman games is putting out a new game with a character with blue robot armor and an arm cannon and you’re like, “nah gamers don’t understand the most basic artistic concepts” is very funny. thanks for the rocks socrates

Honestly I was hoping it was a mega man game except with the twist that actually it was the little girl and not the guy

but look! if you take every second letter of their comment, rearrange them, add more letters, take some others awy, and then put it in a blender you actually get "Mega Man" which means Pragmata is actually Mega Man Legends 3

TBH, Capcom did do this a decade ago with Kitchen. But it’s not common.

Yeah it’s obviously not Mega Man It’s Mega Man Legends

Hear me out: it’s secretly a Mega Man where they’re all dead Here’s my four hour video reading a wiki verbatim explaining why

honestly think this is a symptom of the whole JJ Abrams/Marvel mode of storytelling, where everything's a puzzle box or a teaser for the future. we've trained a whole generation that art needs to be "solved" instead of just, like, experienced.

Nah, this is about Capcom announcing RE7 as not an RE game at first.

Konami did this with MGSV and I accept that as a thing that happened with MGSV and do not assume every new announcement is secretly a Goemon game.

Yeah, sure, the Mega Man stuff was stupid, but there was still some minor precedent.

Capcom loves an homage and more drastically the west is losing its grasp on reality

secret Mega Man is a fun idea but New Franchise with Genuine Buzz seems like it’d be a far more desirable thing for Capcom at this point

For the record this is the same company that announced people would have to wait just a little more before seeing RE Requiem Then about 17 minutes later they showed the trailer. Capcom seems to enjoy fucking with people these days.
