i agree with ogre, that was how i thought he meant it; sony wants nothing short of "breathe takingly realistic" games and with a series thats rooted in 2-d sprites, and has worked best in that manner, ps3 just wouldnt be the right place to take the franchise too. those people with lots of money that are going to (sadly) spend it on ps3 aren't going to flock to to such a game, even one as well known as megaman, because the series is only popular amongst its hardcore fans.
even if they made another legends-type game and made it flashy but not ultra realistic, it just dont see it selling well beacuse the interest isnt there and all the hardcore fans might not own a ps3. then where would capcom be? spend all that money on a devkit, spend more resources making the game, and end up with a flop?
atleast the Wii is cheaper to develop for and could bring something completely new to the series with the wiimote.
i have never played x7 or x8 because i don't own a ps2, but i have played legends/64 (yes, on both PS and N64) and i must say i wasn't very happy. back when it was being called Mega Man Neo, i remember being so excited and imagining how cool it would be to have mega man in 3d, only to be disapointed. It just didnt have the same feel as the megaman or megaman x games. its not the rpg aspect im talking about either, it just wasn't action packed like i expected. those dungeons were lame and none of the enemies seemed like they could ever harm mega man. maybe it was just the resources at the time but im sure there were more games of its type that could have more enemies on screen at once.
if they were to make 3d megaman again, and give it the same fast paced action feel as the megaman X series, i would be happy. i dont want another battle network game, i just never liked those. i want hordes of enemies to blast thru, coming at me from all directions, with 3rd person perspective and aiming with the wiimote. if it is the x series, add zero and have some cool combos to be executed with the wiimote as well. thats what i want to see, but who knows if it will ever happen.
