No it's not out yet, I just wanted to make a thread about a game that has the possibilities to be the best 2d platformer ever created. I just love all Megaman and Zero games, they are superb and part X8 is due out in 2 days!! From what I know, this will be the hardest of them all and that is so great. The harder it is the better it is. It also seems like they erased alot of the stupid 3D sections that were in Megaman X7, they totally destroyed that game for me I can live with some but the amount in X7 was just too much. So anyone else here that just cant wait for this bad ass game? Or am I alone?

No it's not totally in 3D. The backgrounds are in 3D but the gameplay is 2D because it's a sidescroller. X7 had a shitload of real 3D levels and those sucked hard. X8 shuld have far less as far as I know. Sounds good that they are out in stores, thanks for that info. A release of those is not far off then

I had a go with this baby and it's great. Controlls are perfect, graphics are excellent. Music is as always in megaman games excellent. The only problem I have with X8 is the slowdows at some places. They are not many but when they come you will instantly notice them and that's abit bad, but luckely they are quite rare so it's not that big of a problem. Overall, a very good sidescrolling platform game with a bunch of action. Grab it if you are a megaman fan

Megaman Legends sucked big time It's DVD jonels and the original release is in .iso format. You have the RIP version which miss some movies.

The only X games I ever liked were the ones for SNES. Pretty much when they started changing too much shit I lost interest. A small example: Whenever you used to run into a boss, you would always go through the traditional set of doors. Then they started doing the corny WARNING thing. Bleh.

Doors before the level boss where in x5 and x6 on psx also stooz. I cant say if they are in X8 since I haven't had time to fully play it yet (I dont see why they wouldn't be there though), only tested the levels to make a judgement on it. Although if they aren't there I dont mind, doors before a boss fight isn't exactly the key to a great megaman game in my opinion To me the key elements to a great Megaman X game are action, good levels, funny/original bosses and as little 3D levels as possible.
