I can clearly see the Metroid Prime overtones in this and it fits the franchise well. Clearly, someone needs to pick this up and finish it off, because it looks incredible. Also, I don't really get the Bruce Willis crack. =/

Between 10 classic games and 8 or so X ones, frankly I'm just sick of them milking their existing formulas without really changing anything substantial at all. We already have fangames for that. Personally I got more of a Halo vibe from it, with tidbits of Other M mixed in. Hell, I'd have hit it.

I love Bruce as much as the next guy, but the videos and comments just scream of the homogenization that's infiltrated the medium of late.

I love Bruce as much as the next guy, but the videos and comments just scream of the homogenization that's infiltrated the medium of late. What, you mean this part? Quote: Those pieces included X and Zero, and Mega Man would have a new human sidekick, a Bruce Willis-like police officer. The man versus machine contrast between the two was meant to be an overarching theme of the game, with Mega Man's personality sometimes making him seem more human than his sidekick. Sounds like something that the series would have naturally transitioned into, if you consider the clearly laid out overtones of both, the X and the Zero series. Zero is mentioned in the article, so he probably would have been in the game (an added bonus would have had him playable with Red Steel 2 sword mechanics for his Z-Saber), but adding a human contrast to it, something never actually seen in the X series is something a lot of fans have wanted for a long time. There's plenty of good Megaman X fanfiction out there depicting the Maverick Hunters in a similar light to how modern cop shows depict a local police precinct and it's a lot of fun to juxtapose that image onto what this game could have been. Not really sure how ~~Retro Studios~~ ~~Armadrillo~~ Armature would have handled dialogue since Metroid Prime was completely free of it (barring Corruption, which was good, despite how little there was), but depending on that, they could have pulled off the human guy pretty well without homogenizing the game into becoming some Hollywood-esque AAA title.

I'm pretty sure it only had one room type in the entire game? We don't know how much they'd mix up this megaman, but it's not really faithful to the original games whatsoever.
