Capcom might have something really cool and really unique with Mega Man Universe. Headed for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, the game blends the gameplay of Mega Man 2 with a level creator. Millions of gamers are familiar with the gameplay mechanics of Mega Man, so creating levels should be fairly intuitive. If the tools are tight then I expect to see some amazing fan-made designs.
Check out the trailer above and let me know what you think (please)! Any of you down to create Mega Man Universe levels?
I am always horrible at creating levels and stuff with pre-made pieces. I did make some pretty cool LOTR looking levels on Age of Mythology and Age of Empires though. Some of the battles were set up as automatic scenarios which looked pretty cool. This concept sounds pretty cool though, and I might have to check it out.
The level creator alone should be worth the price of admission.
I have to say; where the hell was this concept when I was 9 years old and had tons and tons of ideas for Mega Man?! Now, I'm an old, senile, cynical fart that couldn't come up with an original idea if it bitch-slapped me in the face.
