Title: Possible Mega Man Legends Spiritual Successor by Inafune/Comcept
Post by: kamikazekeeg on July 02, 2015, 11:55:31 pm
This to me very much looks like Comcept is gonna be looking at doing to Mega Man Legends what they did with Mega Man.  Lots of "Legends" talk and the characters have that Legends feel.  If this is happening, I want it way more than ever wanting Mighty No. 9 lol

What an amazing time to be a gamer!


I hope this gets a Kickstarter campaign like Mighty No.9

Day 1 supporter for it if they do.  I didn't do Mighty No. 9, because I don't really have as much love for the 2D Mega Man's, but I love the two Legend games and been hoping for this to happen since Capcom abandoned Legend 3.

I'd have to wait until towards the end of the campaign (have $150 invested in Bloodstained and $600 in Shenmue 3 at the moment), but I would definitely back that project.


I just wonder if they're going to start fresh or do some weird thing where they explain what happens after Legends 2. Dat cliff hanger doe!!!!

Well they clearly will have to do something completely new since it'll have all new characters with an all new plot.  Nothing is gonna change that ending unless Capcom actually makes Mega Man Legends 3 someday.

And here it is.  They are doing a kickstarter for the game "Red Ash - The Indelible Legend".  Sounds to be everything that we think it is.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/red-ash-the-indelible-legend

Also they are doing a smaller separate kickstarter to try and get an anime made for it.  I'm probably gonna do both.

It looks pretty cool, although I'm curious to see what consoles they release it on. I also am wondering if it will be a 3D action game like MML?


Definitely see myself backing this at some point :)

They basically say it is and that veterans who made MML are working on it.

I saw that and that was my assumption as well. I guess we'll see what consoles they will be bringing this too.

I love the idea of this game and will back it the second I see they make a physical copy for any console system.
Mighty no.9 original kickstarter had no console release but they got it released later.
So when Red Ash is made on consoles you bet I'm putting my money down on a copy.
And if they announce an exclusive PS4, Xbox or Wii physical copy on their kickstarter you better believe I'll pledge some money.  ;)
It happened with Shenmue 3 so I might happen with Red Ash too.

I have heard some opinions on this that do make a lot of sense as to why this kickstarter hasn't gone off as much as Mighty No. 9 and that some are actually quite iffy about it, being that Mighty No. 9 hasn't released yet and they are already asking for money to move ahead on their next project.  They haven't proven their success with No. 9 to show that people should be ready to help them out.  I know I was initially hyped on the prospect, but trying to take a more unbiased look at this project, I'd actually agree that maybe it wasn't the greatest idea for them to do this before they've even shipped their first Kickstarter game.

I haven't jumped in yet, because of budget issues, but I do agree that it might not have been the best idea to start this up before they have a game they can show as a success.

A console port stretch goal has been added at $1 million. :) I hope this kickstarter makes it to the $1.5 million for the extra story missions too.

Sadly with the pace of things, it's not likely to get to that.  It's trudging a long now and while I think it'll make its money to get the game made, I don't think it'll be surpassing it.

That sucks. I've completely stopped gaming on my PC. I just don't want to deal with the hassle of keeping up on parts, compatibility issues, patching games, and all that nonsense. It's easier when I own multiple consoles to just stick a game in and start playing.

I've done my part to spread the news. Everyone else needs to do the same so we can get a console port!!!

God, it really pains me to see Red Ash doing so bad :/


I at least hope it makes it's funding goal. i'd be really disappointed if it failed to even make that.

I could see it coming back later for a second try since it's very clearly not going to make it.  I think it's just really bad timing on their part.  If Mighty No. 9 becomes a success, I think that is when they should bring it back, show that they got things going right, build the hype up for it then maybe with a tech demo.

I hope so too. The current campaign just seems so deflated and it's hard to imagine it will even earn the $800,000 needed for minimum funding. But yeah, it is horrible timing, coming right after Bloodstained, and during Shenmue 3. There is a lot of overlap in those fan bases I'm pretty sure.

I agree with the overlapping fan bases. I really wanted to back the Kickstarters for Bloodstained, Shenmue 3, and especially this one, but I only had the money to back Bloodstained. :( Red Ash looks pretty promising so it's hard to not get super disappointed by how poorly the kickstarter is doing.

The problem isn't bad timing, it's that they targeted the wrong audience. Mega Man Legends, Mega Man 64, MM Legends 2, and Misadventures of Tronn Bonne were all CONSOLE releases for CONSOLE gamers. But whoever started this Kickstarter had the bright idea to put it out on PC. Which a lot of CONSOLE gamers don't even bother with PC gaming other than basic games.

I can understand a physical release maybe being a bit too pricey. But why not release it via Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Wii U Shop?

This was incredibly stupid to do before Mighty No. 9 even released. It makes them look incredibly greedy. Why not.. oh I don't know, use the profits from Mighty No. 9 to fund your own game?

Post by: abe on July 23, 2015, 07:00:30 pm
Comcept has added a PS4 version stretch goal. A PS4 version will be made if it reaches $1 million. This might encourage more people to back the project, but I don't think it'll make a huge difference at this point. There's 10 days left and it's a little over halfway to the 800k, maybe it might make it to the PS4 goal but it's hard to say for sure. Fingers crossed. :)

This is my issue. I hate seeing kickstarters of games that obviously should be console games being released only on PC.

I really hope this kickstarter fails, so Kenji can get his act together and release it without fundraising. At least release MN9 first, then go from there.

Sooo... this happened: http://gematsu.com/2015/07/red-ash-fully-funded-fuze-ps4-xbox-one-pc (http://gematsu.com/2015/07/red-ash-fully-funded-fuze-ps4-xbox-one-pc)

The game has been fully funded by Chinese company Fuze Entertainment and will release on the PS4, Xbone, and PC. If the Kickstarter reaches the goal all of the money will go towards extra content instead of the just the main game.

Things really are a mess for Comcept these days, but we might get at least an episode of the Red Ash anime though.  It only has to get about 18k in the next day.  We are also guaranteed to get the Red Ash game, but the kickstarter is going to clearly fail to get extra funding. It even lost some backers, which is understandable, especially since Comcept has just delayed Mighty No.9 into next year.  Seriously bad timing on their part with this project.

The anime for Red Ash is getting funded, it really managed to get quite the fund injection in the last few hours to make it over the minimum amount.  Shame we are only getting what amounts to basically a teaser for it with 12 minutes of animation.

Of course the Red Ash game failed, though at least we are still getting a game out of that.

I kept up with the Kickstarter for a while ... wasnt too fond of how the game was panning out so I decided not to back it ... plus the fact that it was almost $100 just to back a physical copy. I havent seen a standard game cost that much in years. Mighty no 9 > Red Ash.

I'd pick Red Ash any day over Mighty No. 9 no contest, it just wasn't handled well, especially with Might No. 9 still struggling to make a release date.  It doesn't instill confidence when you can't get your first Kickstarter out in a timely matter at all.

What the hell?! I thought Might No. 9 had a release date in September, but sure enough it has been pushed back to an indefinite release. I was under the impression that since it had such an imminent release date the game was finished and being printed, but I guess I was mistaken. Yeah, that definitely doesn't inspire much confidence for your new product.


I'm still sad it didn't get funded, but the whole KS campaign just seemed to lack any momentum and the timing could not have been anymore bad for a variety of reasons.
