the problem is not inafune leaving capcom but capcom not knowing what they want to do, online is being worked on by a soko company so it has no problems. The biggest tihng is they seem only interested in franchises that cater to the dark depressing (read TWILIGHT I mean DMC) the fighter (MVC3) or milking resident evil for every dime its worth (see release schedule fro the 6th release of RE4 and 4th release of CV). Instead of bringing back its old franchises in new ways like strider or darkstalkers it brings back franchises and hits them with the dark depressing and angstification stick like bionic commando.
Darkstalkers could work with dark and depressing settings, its based of classic universal monsters and myth for god sakes, their not known for being happy happy washy washy.
in 2 years mgeaman X celebrates 20 years as a franchise in japan,3 years in north america. My friend wanted megaman legends 3, he wants Megaman X9, he wants new megaman games. Despite how bad the X games got he supported them.
Capcom...you just made my friend cry, and in doing so made me feel like an asshole for telling him his dreams of a sequel to a game he loves and defends are destroyed...does it feel good capcom?
If it does then to hell with you!
