This is the complete demo of all the known footage of gameplay from this cancelled re-imagining of the X Series provided by http://www.Polygon.com. Footage was compiled in comprehensive order and volume was reduced for more comfortable listening.

You know, I’ve always thought a Mega Man FPS would work if done right. Perhaps starring Axl, playing through his origins. Or maybe just a typical spin-off or side story. I never would have believed one was actually in development.

Back in 2010, Armature Studio, comprised of talent behind “Metroid Prime”, began work on such a game. The game would have in essence been a re-imagining/reboot of the X Series and be given a techno look and feel very reminiscent of Vanquish (great game). Although I can’t help but feel similar vibes of Bomberman: Act Zero and even the ill-fated, next-gen Vector Man (though X kinda resembles a Pantheon from the Zero Series). Designs would have also been provided by Adi Granov, who worked on the Iron Man film series.

The team behind Metroid Prime developed quite the game and many would agree that they succeeded in Samus’ foray into the first-person fray. Would this have worked for X? Would it retain elements of the X games we know and love? Would the storyline have worked? It better have, as the game was to become a trilogy. But would they have become just another FPS in a sea of the genre? What do you think?

In a seperate side story, we see what Vile was up to while X was hunting the mavricks.

There is a certain irony to me making a new video on Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X. Technically, I discussed this game back in my review on X1 from 2016, and in the spring of 2018, I did a whole video on the game to make up for it, one where I laughed at how bad my 2016 portion was. But…the 2018 video was literally audio I recorded at like 3:30 in the morning while suffering from a cold, truly the worst thing you could possibly do for a video. But luckily, I am not as arrogant as to make fun of old work while being a goof in a completely different fashion anymore…I think? As I have said before, I don’t see the harm of the re-review. If you think you’ve grown and have more to say/want to do a more definitive job…I say, why not?
