to hell with crapcom, arghhhh! I'm so mad rn... I've always liked StarForce despite knowing how underrated it was. But to not even give the series a chance b.c of stupid sales!?! I don't know whether to hate the ppl who didn't support it, or the company, that also didn't support it...
“Cancelled due to Operation Shooting Star’s pow sales-“ Well gee Capcom, maybe if you gave the West a chance with it, maybe it would have sold better. Or better yet, why not make some _actual_ changes from the original GBA version, like updating the art style at least. “And the low sales of MMS3” ... I got nothing for that, that was just a really solid game that didn’t sell well.
Well it was the exact time when Capcom stopped caring about Mega Man and was cancelling games right and left, and unsurprisingly, fans were bitter about how their series were being discontinued. Just ask any fan of Legends or ZX how they feel...
There were actually sales of the games in europe... There was just completely zero advertising. Unless you are an active fan, or lucky enough to find it in a local store, chances are you wouldn’t even know it was a thing.
As a huge fan of the Star Force series, I am FAR more bitter about this being cancelled than I am Legends 3, because I've been waiting years and years for Star Force 4 to be made, and it never came. Now that I know it was being made and was cancelled, I am not very happy about it and wish it was ultimately made.
@@Evil_Beauty It was rushed too, and shows the franchise fatigue that was overtaking Mega Man at the time. The worst part is that not only was it the last hurrah for the Network Timeline (Battle Network and Star Force), but was pretty much the last Mega Man game released for well over half a decade, excluding ports such as the Legacy Collections. It was, by all means, the franchise killer.
@@Evil_Beauty It's because Capcom is money hungry which explains their horrible attempt of a StarForce and Battle network crossover (basically BN1 and throwing in StarForce in the very end) which subsequently caused the franchise to die.
That story would've been SUPER intriguing. Not only would we have seen an all-new side of Geo, going against the law that he previously majorly assisted with taking down Dealer, but we would have also had dilemmas with his friends. What would Sonia think? Would she have sided with Geo? What about Ace? Would he be on the search for Geo as well, or gone rogue (no pun intended) out of Satella Police to help him? That would've been absolutely INSANE.
@@nightshroud9671 Hmm. Good question. I think that Geo would need a very good reason to go against the law. And Mega trusts him, after these three adventures. I don't think he would just walk away from Geo. He knows the kid would have a plan by then.
Congratulations Capcom. You’ve created an interesting concept for a potentially awesome game that would be remembered by Megaman fans AND THREW IT IN THE TRASH!!!!
Hearing that Geo, the one responsible for saving Earth four times (counting Apollo Flame story in 2's post game), and Planet FM from Sirius, become a wanted person definitely has me intrigued as to how the full story of the game would have been. Something drastic must have happened to Geo or someone close to him to walk down this path. Not to mention how Omega-Xis would react to this path choice, or maybe even Solo.
@@hydran1570 Hmmm....... Maybe it would've been because something is going on with the government or the higher power in Star Force's world, and they're the villain, and that's why Geo's wanted? Also, that can be supported by the background of the concept art, it's darker (tone-wise) and uses darker colors, look at the sky, it's purple, that could signify that the world isn't fair and safe anymore (this concept art is most certainly doing "show, don't tell" [because it's a concept art] so this makes more sense). Note: I didn't play Star Force 3, just 1 and 2 a long time ago, so I could be missing something important that proves what I said is wrong, maybe? If so, please correct me.
Hacking in SF4 might have been like a disrupt system, on how you can deny enemy attacks more easily, turn buffs into de-buffs, steal card data maybe idk, quite the interesting approach
Jordan Groves holy shit! how long has it been? ... not a fan of zx's story, but being able to play as the guardians' biometals is pretty cool. but still... no word even to this day?
I personally loved Star force and never got why others didn't like it. Found it fun and refreshing from Battle Network Liked BN enough, but if I was asked to replay the games I would say no except for BN5 (The navi teams and missions were amazing, bought both copies). I've watched watched TH-cam reviews of the games years later, but they sounded like nonsense and nick picking. Like how Gen wasn't smiling in SF1, where you know he was a depressed kid with issues getting close to others. This artwork alone makes me want to play SF4. Would preorder it now if there an announcement. Maybe to get people into the idea they should combine 1-3 into some collection edition for the Switch. Maybe some updates to 1 and 2 to be on par with 3. Also, do what they did in The World Ends With You, where they have a bonus chapter to promote the sequel.
I think fans didn't like the head on perspective or the forced social aspect of the Link Power. I hope they bring back the series with out needing Link Power.
Nicholas Evans Maybe in SF4 link power became a thing of the past, ppl turning on each other and forgot all about the power of forging bonds with their brotherbands, and society became a fugitive dystopian nightmare. Arghhh... why couldn't they just go with this...
Ok. Something I want to mention here is that just because Kazuma is a descendant of Lan Hikari, it doesn't discount Geo Stelar being a descendant, as well. It's possible that Kazuma, if he was looking into his family tree to find out more about it, he'd go looking for Geo when he sees that Geo is in the same family tree albeit a less direct branch. Hub.Batch in BN Operation Star Force is only compatible with anyone who shares Lan's DNA, from how it was described. So what if Geo and Kazuma were distant cousins?
It could be that they both had the genetic adaptation of the dimensional field. Considering that there were others who liked lan. Guess they both were to exploit the old realm to hide since it has not been used in a long time. But I think that gonna reveal that megaman was corrupted and became an am em being because of being exposed so many times to cross fusion and his form degradation due to using the beast element being used to supplement his program stability. Guess we are gonna see time capsules of old heros returning to use dimensional world to come to reality in an attempt to engage the em beings.
Why are you doing this ,Capcom.....? First Legends,then Online....and now this...... WHATAMIFIGHTINGFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRR???!??!?What are WE fighting for....?
@@pixman2581 Well that doesn't mean we're going to get THIS Star Force 4 if Capcom decides to continue the series. Chances are if they decide to continue Star Force that we'll get a completely different SF4 with a completely different story. I think we'll likely get X9 before that ever happens.
A Star Force 4 that actually acknowledges BN continuity and makes Geo an outlaw? That sounds like a recipe for an amazing game. But unlike with Legends 3, I'm kind of ok with SF4 not existing, because SF3 gave the series a neat closure and is a brilliant game itself, so... This SF4 sounds very interesting, but its cancelation doesn't anger me. Legend 3's was a bummer because L2 ended on a freaking cliff hanger, but SF3 is a good ending for its series
Starforce 4 EXISTED!? Damn it Capcom! I see Geo looks like in his mid teens, he looks funny with muscles tbh. To be honest, the Starforce games grew dark like the X series. Starforce 3 being the darkest from the 2 previous. Starforce is my top Megaman series, i have Pegasus and black Ace on my DS. If we had hacking on the game, it would of been like we can use the viruses to our advantage. As for Geo doing illegal things with Lan's descendant, i bet the guy wanted to know more about his bloodline or wanted to stop a group of hackers from doing crimes, but both got caught.
I want to see how misora look like after the timeskip. growing up from a pop idol and into a rebellious teen must've made her very beautiful and strong.
For some reason the theme seems well balanced for pvp and pve content. At the same time, who knows if Capcom planned on making it more broken than noise. Also, remember Battle Network Chrono X?
They had a chance to make a Star Force 3 anime, but they missed it and I knew they would years ago because the Star Force 2 anime only lasted 21 episodes. This was back when the releases of Mega Man games began to falter.
Honestly I'd rather they just reboot the entire anime. I could probably write a better script than the original anime had. Have it follow the games plot more closely. Actually include the character arcs in the story, and update the animation with more modern style. The franchise has so much potential if they could execute an anime correctly and take a lesson from MHA, Naruto, Dragonball for arc finales and boss battles.
I KNEW IT, I KNEW THEY WERE PLANNING ON A STARFORCE 4....BUT DAMMIT. Nah bruh, Imma need capcom to run this back, and throw this sucka on the switch and pc, as well as Legends 3 and Megaman Online. Matter of fact, run that X9, Run that Battle Network 7,and run that ZX 3. What else am i missing?
He was either being used by this dark descendant of Lan, or the two may be trying to get rid of a Corrupt official in Satella Police and hacking may have been the only way to get it done. Perhaps something to do with Lan himself?
Given this was meant to be a follow up to the crossover game. This might have been related to Megaman.EXE. something may have happened to him during the 200 year time skip. Which might be why they are messing around with the undernet.
I thought that Star Force ended after 3... but the fact that I heard about this? That's a surprise. I'm also surprised that Operation Shooting Star did bad because all it was is just an updated version of EXE1 with Star Force that did very little. Is it any wonder why Operation Shooting Star never got released overseas.
That’s just sad I really want see & play MegaMan Starforces 4 & there were planing darker edgier story along Lan Hikari distant relative?! that would been a great concept
The one thing I’m a bit skeptical about regarding this is that StarForce 3’s ending actually ended on a really happy note, with Kelvin finally making it home. I’m just hoping that if they do go through with Geo being an outlaw in the game, then the reasons why and how would make sense as a transition.
It would be interesting if Kazuma became Blues/Proto-Man in this game, in honor of his (idk how many greats) grandfather’s ally who helped him out, or he would become a new Megaman, like Megaman EX or something like that, we play as two megamen
I'm a much bigger fan of the battle network series but hearing now that there is an actual descendant of Lan Hikari in this supposed 4th sequel got me interested. I would definitely like a starforce game on the Switch.
Don't forget that Lan made some questionable choices back in the first 3 battle network games including accessing the school server to change his grades in MMBN 3, a black hat action.
If you think about it it actually makes sense, because as far as I remember there wasn't a "The End" after beating Star Force 3 unlike with Battle Network 6.
It's kind of a relief to know ShadowRock is one of the actual few people who still defend SF and care about it, while other people call it gimmicky, childish and bash it.
Anyone else here would pay good money just to see a transcript for SF4? Honestly don't even need the game at this point just give me the plot and all the dialogue between Geo, Sonia, and Kazuma and I'll be happy.
Would the hacking allow Zero to finally know what he's fighting for? XD (Serious thought, Mega Man 11 confirmed that Capcom's interest in Mega Man has reignited, and they would probably go in order if they considered revisiting the series as a whole, likely starting with X9(which would probably have Zero in it, and with him, the memes))
I hate that this was canceled. It sounded like it was going to be a great game. And the fact that we would met the descendant of Lan sounded great too. Capcom doesn't care about Megaman anymore they've canceled too many of his games. I still want this game, Legends 3, and X9.
Calling it now: Kazuma's Wizard (or whatever they would decide to call them this time) was gonna be Bass. THE ACTUAL Bass. Not a copy, not a fragment, the TRUE Bass back from literal cyber-hell.
The main reason why I still hold a grudge against Capcom: cancelling Mega Man games, especially Legends 3, that would have pleased fans and get hundreds of people excited, but cancelled because of “Fans not wanting to support Mega Man.” or because of “reasons”.
Megaman Starforce 3 sold quite poorly. The issue is simply people say they want Megaman games, but the sales don't seem to back it up. Supporting Megaman for them to amke more games would require buying the games, just saying you want more Megaman games, wont help
The thing i am most curious about is how would megaman.exe character be played out because as a program he could outlive everyone in the human cast of BN and i imagine that would be kinda depressing,but i think he would still try to help even if he's an 200 year old program
God Damn!!!! I had really waited for Star Force 4 to released and the info I get is cancelled Project!!!???? I was getting really curious of the development Of Geo(Subaru) X Misora(Sonia) relationship here!!! Why the hell did they have to cancelled just because of low sales!! This Megaman series the most interesting because they have Romance spice here!!! BRING IT BACK!!!
Would be cool if 4 was the game to bring in multiple playable characters. Also I bet Geo wouldn't be getting involved in illegal activity unless it was for a good reason. . . Maybe he finds out the satella police or waza were doing illegal experiments on em lifeforms and he tried to expose them but was instead made into an outlaw. The cool part is that Geo is known as the hero who saved the goddamn world. How does the police chasing him down affect public perception?
@everyone lets start petitioning for them to finish SF4!!! the battle network legacy games are re-releasing in 2023! It's the perfect time to beg capcom! support capcom by buying the BN re-release and bugging capcom about SF4!!!
sure we could do that, I mean if a tv show like Young Justice could be brought back by fan petition, I think Megaman series could be revived, too or some programmer will just create a fangame and sell it or put it out for free
It pisses me off when game companies cancel a good game over poor sales and shit like that. Im a megaman starforce fan and a Megaman battle network fan i would of LOVED to see this and play this game but sadly once again......something i dreamed of has been canceled.....-_-
Suddenly Geo appearing in the MMBN1 remake suddenly makes more sense. Well besides time travel that is. Also the plotline of this game concept reminds me of MMZ amd Gunvolt.
two years after this video, and more than a decade after playing Starforce 3. Still hoping for megaman starforce to come back. Megaman Exe/Starforce collection game in Switch maybe someday?
i understand why capcom pulled the plug for this project since star force 3 didn't do good (maybe they should've marketed the game for people to know it was released). but i still can't understand why they pulled the plug on both universe and legends 3 especially when they decided to mock fans for not being part of devs room forum which they said we don't have to be part of it.
I’ve been waiting for Megaman star force 4 over eleven years. The producer answered 「I wanna create star force 4 if players hope so」on official book. So we must keep waiting and wishing it on the Blue shooting star. From Japanese brother🙌
To be honest I feel conflicted about this. In one fact I was always wondering if a 4th game was ever a thing. On the other hand, I can’t deal with the fact that a 4th and possibly better starforce game was going to be released. I really hope that Capcom reconsider this. And ZX3 but not before starforce 4 though.
tim de wit You make an account on ipetitions.com. You’ll be able to set the goal of signatures for as high as you want. Petitions need a lot of traction. So you’ll need to post it all over the internet including Capcom’s social media accounts.
As much as I would love a SF4, I am gonna take this story with a grain of salt. After checking the website, it didn't really show proof or anything that this was leaked by 'the shadow'. Not even any quotes like for MM9. Just slapped a picture and say 'hey, this is what's suppose to happen' and it was discovered by 'this guy who may have not actually send it but we'll say he did so people don't question it'. And '10 years difference' sounds really really off and something like this can easily be faked since it was a decade ago. For starters, the story sounds heavily coming out of nowhere. Geo turning into a criminal? No offense, but that's the same way as saying "Lan became a criminal in BN7" It's just so weird. Not to mention 'a character that is Lan's descendant' is another thing fans would generally come up with for Megaman SF. That sort of idea about Geo or anyone else being a descendant is a common theory for most if not all SF fans. And then there's the artwork. No offense, but I seen a lot of fanart that can look like the actual thing. And if this is the real deal, then what about all the other concept art? This looks more like it could be a 'promo' and not actual different types of artwork like different styles they haven't decided on for Kazuma. Of all leaks, this 'promo' like picture is the only one? Again, I love Megaman Starforce, but this is just all very 'iffy'.
Interesting! I always though that star force 3 was the proper ending to the series, because of the return of Geo's dad to Earth, and some other stuff. We all of us speculated that Geo was decendant of Lan, but it seems that nope (or maybe he still is, and he and this Cosma (?) are distant relatives, or something (being this a plot twist?)). It is interesting also the change of personality of Geo, from being so simple, cheerful, nice and good guy, and now looking at him as an underground wanted hacker after being a hero of heart... what a turn of events. If Capcom revisite the concep of both Battle Network and Star Force, they can re take this canceled game and redoing it with a brand new megaman in a new era with new mechanics
something tells me Megaman ZX Advent sequel was also cancelled judging by how they were setting up a followup with hard mode ending. It would be good for Capcom to revitalize sone of these cancelled titles.
I hope capcom release the trilogy of this game and battle network collection on ps4/5,pc,and switch and made a good sale to continue this series of megaman
one thing I had been wondering is that since Geo has Megaman as a public identity after he destroyed Meteor G and Crimson Dragon, the Satellite Police are going to be onto him pretty quickly if he became an outlaw, so he'll have to become Megaman full time now to avoid arrest
Man, I would of loved to have at least 1 more game to SF. The last one just didn't feel like a good ending. I'm not sure how to feel about the story. Would have been cool for Geo to age, but I don't know about him being a criminal. Something bad most of happened after 4, for him to go down that path. Still, might have been fun.
The few plot details we have kind of reminds me of the Patriot’s plot from MGS2 with some WatchDogs thrown in. Superheroes are traditionally more in the vigilante vein and I would have liked to see a more rouge-ish megaman.
WAIT, THERE WAS GOING TO BE A STAR FORCE 4?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Capcom, how could you have canceled this...?! So disappointing...

For some reason the theme seems well balanced for pvp and pve content. At the same time, who knows if Capcom planned on making it more broken than noise. Also, remember Battle Network Chrono X?
Chrono X is loosely canon unintentionally, there happened to be instead a Stelar in Lan Hikari's time as the interpretation.
Chrono X is a fan game
If they made starforce 4 into an anime, this would be sick
Well, if the animated part 3 first. Which was years ago.
No please, Capcom destroy all Megaman animê, look that Yeti Blizzard using Saurian Power, nosense.
They had a chance to make a Star Force 3 anime, but they missed it and I knew they would years ago because the Star Force 2 anime only lasted 21 episodes. This was back when the releases of Mega Man games began to falter.
That would be cool but I have no hope of that happening
Honestly I'd rather they just reboot the entire anime. I could probably write a better script than the original anime had. Have it follow the games plot more closely. Actually include the character arcs in the story, and update the animation with more modern style. The franchise has so much potential if they could execute an anime correctly and take a lesson from MHA, Naruto, Dragonball for arc finales and boss battles.
I KNEW IT, I KNEW THEY WERE PLANNING ON A STARFORCE 4....BUT DAMMIT.
Nah bruh, Imma need capcom to run this back, and throw this sucka on the switch and pc, as well as Legends 3 and Megaman Online.
Matter of fact, run that X9, Run that Battle Network 7,and run that ZX 3.
What else am i missing?
David : Soul Food Gaming RUN EVERYTHING! DON'T LET CRAPCOM GET AWAY WITH THIS!

Nah we dont need a BN7. Ending of BN6 was a great ending for the series
SF4,L3,X9,ZX3 HOWEVER WE NEED
Loop Zoop eh BN6 had a good epilogue, but the overall ending isnt that great.
He was either being used by this dark descendant of Lan, or the two may be trying to get rid of a Corrupt official in Satella Police and hacking may have been the only way to get it done. Perhaps something to do with Lan himself?
Given this was meant to be a follow up to the crossover game. This might have been related to Megaman.EXE. something may have happened to him during the 200 year time skip. Which might be why they are messing around with the undernet.
That's what I thought. Like maybe the corrupt official is holding Sonia hostage and if Geo tells anyone about… You get the picture
Damn'! Seeing Geo like that in his mid-teens makes me imaginating Sonia would have a badass new look for her 15s too!
Long time no see ShadowRock! Never expected this video, but I love it!
In the words of Tfs Vegeta: *ahem* "DO I HEAR FIVE!? 😡"
HA
I thought that Star Force ended after 3... but the fact that I heard about this? That's a surprise.
I'm also surprised that Operation Shooting Star did bad because all it was is just an updated version of EXE1 with Star Force that did very little. Is it any wonder why Operation Shooting Star never got released overseas.
I think this could eventually come out if they release a Star Force Legacy Collection and then that sells well.
(Sigh) Megaman Starforce series R.I.P. (sniff)
Would like to see this fully completed later in the future on switch
Bro people should actually get Japanese and Americans people to convince them to megaman sf4
That’s just sad I really want see & play MegaMan Starforces 4 & there were planing darker edgier story along Lan Hikari distant relative?! that would been a great concept
So do I, I've been waiting for a fourth Star Force game for YEARS now.
The one thing I’m a bit skeptical about regarding this is that StarForce 3’s ending actually ended on a really happy note, with Kelvin finally making it home. I’m just hoping that if they do go through with Geo being an outlaw in the game, then the reasons why and how would make sense as a transition.
It would be interesting if Kazuma became Blues/Proto-Man in this game, in honor of his (idk how many greats) grandfather’s ally who helped him out, or he would become a new Megaman, like Megaman EX or something like that, we play as two megamen
I still believe this is a fan work. Bcs i dont think the writers would have written abt anything regarding Lan's decendant.
Capcom Super League Online for mobile, was cancelled this year. It was supposed to have a few Mega Man characters in this game.
I'm a much bigger fan of the battle network series but hearing now that there is an actual descendant of Lan Hikari in this supposed 4th sequel got me interested. I would definitely like a starforce game on the Switch.
Kazuma has a nice jacket.
I want it.
This is BEYOND frustrating! A descendant of Lan Hikari?! I bet he would have had a cool EM form too!
I would love to see a MegaMan game with a more darker story tone to it. I'm ready for Dark Knight MegaMan.
At least there still is the Zero series
I can see that they intended Geo as an anti-hero Mega Man with human flaws to make him relatable.
I really hope that Capcom makes Megaman X 9 just so they can eventually get to making Legends 3 and Starforce 4
X9 hasn't been made yet.
@@acerookie1173 Thanks for pointing that out lol that was such a stupid typo I just made
@@ntheultimate you're welcome.
We don't need x9..we need ZX 3
NOOOOOO!!!! Dammit Capcom gimme StarForce 4 back!
Just want to know what happened to the navis... What happened to MegaMan, Roll, Protoman and the Others?
Don't forget that Lan made some questionable choices back in the first 3 battle network games including accessing the school server to change his grades in MMBN 3, a black hat action.
If you think about it it actually makes sense, because as far as I remember there wasn't a "The End" after beating Star Force 3 unlike with Battle Network 6.
It's kind of a relief to know ShadowRock is one of the actual few people who still defend SF and care about it, while other people call it gimmicky, childish and bash it.
Anyone else here would pay good money just to see a transcript for SF4? Honestly don't even need the game at this point just give me the plot and all the dialogue between Geo, Sonia, and Kazuma and I'll be happy.
Would the hacking allow Zero to finally know what he's fighting for? XD
(Serious thought, Mega Man 11 confirmed that Capcom's interest in Mega Man has reignited, and they would probably go in order if they considered revisiting the series as a whole, likely starting with X9(which would probably have Zero in it, and with him, the memes))
We really need a Star Force Collection for the Switch and Steam
Looking promising now!
Now I wish this came out now😢
How? HOW do we get this to Capcom? How do we get them to know that there's a fanbase that still loves the Starforce series? ;-;
"EM Wave Change"...
Aw kill me already
?
I hate that this was canceled. It sounded like it was going to be a great game. And the fact that we would met the descendant of Lan sounded great too. Capcom doesn't care about Megaman anymore they've canceled too many of his games. I still want this game, Legends 3, and X9.
StarForce 4 and legends 3 make it happen Capcom
Calling it now: Kazuma's Wizard (or whatever they would decide to call them this time) was gonna be Bass. THE ACTUAL Bass. Not a copy, not a fragment, the TRUE Bass back from literal cyber-hell.
The main reason why I still hold a grudge against Capcom: cancelling Mega Man games, especially Legends 3, that would have pleased fans and get hundreds of people excited, but cancelled because of “Fans not wanting to support Mega Man.” or because of “reasons”.
Megaman Starforce 3 sold quite poorly. The issue is simply people say they want Megaman games, but the sales don't seem to back it up. Supporting Megaman for them to amke more games would require buying the games, just saying you want more Megaman games, wont help
The thing i am most curious about is how would megaman.exe character be played out because as a program he could outlive everyone in the human cast of BN and i imagine that would be kinda depressing,but i think he would still try to help even if he's an 200 year old program
God Damn!!!! I had really waited for Star Force 4 to released and the info I get is cancelled Project!!!???? I was getting really curious of the development Of Geo(Subaru) X Misora(Sonia) relationship here!!! Why the hell did they have to cancelled just because of low sales!! This Megaman series the most interesting because they have Romance spice here!!! BRING IT BACK!!!
Imagine saving the world 5 times and pass to be a criminal for downloading pirate Minecraft
Would be cool if 4 was the game to bring in multiple playable characters.
Also I bet Geo wouldn't be getting involved in illegal activity unless it was for a good reason. . . Maybe he finds out the satella police or waza were doing illegal experiments on em lifeforms and he tried to expose them but was instead made into an outlaw.
The cool part is that Geo is known as the hero who saved the goddamn world. How does the police chasing him down affect public perception?
Marvel:civil war that is the answer if you know the comic you know the connection
I'm so mad at this lmao.
It sucks how this never became a game.
@everyone lets start petitioning for them to finish SF4!!! the battle network legacy games are re-releasing in 2023! It's the perfect time to beg capcom! support capcom by buying the BN re-release and bugging capcom about SF4!!!
sure we could do that, I mean if a tv show like Young Justice could be brought back by fan petition, I think Megaman series could be revived, too
or some programmer will just create a fangame and sell it or put it out for free
i know the reason of poor sales on operate shooting star. there wasn't an official english version. it's their own fault
It pisses me off when game companies cancel a good game over poor sales and shit like that. Im a megaman starforce fan and a Megaman battle network fan i would of LOVED to see this and play this game but sadly once again......something i dreamed of has been canceled.....-_-
I can't believe this shows up in my recommendations after I got a copy of pegasus in the mail.
[Laughs in Google]
Just found out that it got uncanceled and tge demo was released on youtube like 5 months ago
Suddenly Geo appearing in the MMBN1 remake suddenly makes more sense. Well besides time travel that is.
Also the plotline of this game concept reminds me of MMZ amd Gunvolt.
It's a bummer that Star Force 4 got cancelled, but atleast 3 was slam dunk and ended well. :D
ILL BUY IT I DONT CARE HOW MUCH IT IS
Originally was against a SF4 but after knowing about this I’m more than interested.
two years after this video, and more than a decade after playing Starforce 3. Still hoping for megaman starforce to come back. Megaman Exe/Starforce collection game in Switch maybe someday?
i understand why capcom pulled the plug for this project since star force 3 didn't do good (maybe they should've marketed the game for people to know it was released). but i still can't understand why they pulled the plug on both universe and legends 3 especially when they decided to mock fans for not being part of devs room forum which they said we don't have to be part of it.
Imagine if one of those hunting you was an upgraded Megaman. Now no longer a net Navi he has become a wizard
I’ve been waiting for Megaman star force 4 over eleven years. The producer answered 「I wanna create star force 4 if players hope so」on official book. So we must keep waiting and wishing it on the Blue shooting star. From Japanese brother🙌
@@neeveshah6019 Official strategy book “BATTLE BLACK BOX “released by CAPCOM. But it’s over ten years ago.
Hopefully the new collections actually cause battle network and starforce to soar so high Capcom is forced to make a new one same with Legends 3
To be honest I feel conflicted about this. In one fact I was always wondering if a 4th game was ever a thing. On the other hand, I can’t deal with the fact that a 4th and possibly better starforce game was going to be released. I really hope that Capcom reconsider this. And ZX3 but not before starforce 4 though.
I'm still hoping for a Battle Network 7 or a new spinoff focusing on Patch
A shame, isn't there anyway to crowdfund this stuff or sign petitions??
tim de wit Actually there is.
@@Real_Infinity95 where?
tim de wit You make an account on ipetitions.com. You’ll be able to set the goal of signatures for as high as you want. Petitions need a lot of traction. So you’ll need to post it all over the internet including Capcom’s social media accounts.
Noooooo!! Megaman Starforce 4 would've been so lit and be top selling if it was released.... Capcom please reconsider.. *sadface*
As much as I would love a SF4, I am gonna take this story with a grain of salt. After checking the website, it didn't really show proof or anything that this was leaked by 'the shadow'. Not even any quotes like for MM9. Just slapped a picture and say 'hey, this is what's suppose to happen' and it was discovered by 'this guy who may have not actually send it but we'll say he did so people don't question it'. And '10 years difference' sounds really really off and something like this can easily be faked since it was a decade ago. For starters, the story sounds heavily coming out of nowhere. Geo turning into a criminal? No offense, but that's the same way as saying "Lan became a criminal in BN7" It's just so weird.
Not to mention 'a character that is Lan's descendant' is another thing fans would generally come up with for Megaman SF. That sort of idea about Geo or anyone else being a descendant is a common theory for most if not all SF fans.
And then there's the artwork. No offense, but I seen a lot of fanart that can look like the actual thing. And if this is the real deal, then what about all the other concept art? This looks more like it could be a 'promo' and not actual different types of artwork like different styles they haven't decided on for Kazuma. Of all leaks, this 'promo' like picture is the only one?
Again, I love Megaman Starforce, but this is just all very 'iffy'.
mega man star force 4 got canceled how could that happened
Noooo!!!! I wish this information wasn't released because now I feel even more empty and sad. Whyy!!!!?
Well, I think I would have been happier not knowing a follow-up to one of my favorite games could have happened and would have been amazing.
I Really hope Megaman starforce Retirns on the Nintendo Switch! Maybe in the same engine as Yokai watch 4?
Interesting! I always though that star force 3 was the proper ending to the series, because of the return of Geo's dad to Earth, and some other stuff. We all of us speculated that Geo was decendant of Lan, but it seems that nope (or maybe he still is, and he and this Cosma (?) are distant relatives, or something (being this a plot twist?)). It is interesting also the change of personality of Geo, from being so simple, cheerful, nice and good guy, and now looking at him as an underground wanted hacker after being a hero of heart... what a turn of events.
If Capcom revisite the concep of both Battle Network and Star Force, they can re take this canceled game and redoing it with a brand new megaman in a new era with new mechanics
The post game of SF3 would like to argue with you
Didn't know SF3 has a post game
I wonder what would they have got in store for Omega-Xis too in this if SF4 didn't get cancelled.
something tells me Megaman ZX Advent sequel was also cancelled judging by how they were setting up a followup with hard mode ending. It would be good for Capcom to revitalize sone of these cancelled titles.
damn, star force was one of my personal favorites :(((
I hope capcom release the trilogy of this game and battle network collection on ps4/5,pc,and switch and made a good sale to continue this series of megaman
THERE WAS A STARFORCE 4 ?????
CAPCOM WTF?????
HOW COULD YOU CANCEL THIS THING????
Man, it seems like there was going to be a huge Megaman Renaissance in the early 2010s between this, Legends 3 and the other projects in development
I love the art style
It would been cool if we could play between Geo and Kazuma
one thing I had been wondering is that since Geo has Megaman as a public identity after he destroyed Meteor G and Crimson Dragon, the Satellite Police are going to be onto him pretty quickly if he became an outlaw, so he'll have to become Megaman full time now to avoid arrest
@@firxanza5172 Yeah for sure. It would be interesting how that will play out if this game was a thing.
Man, I would of loved to have at least 1 more game to SF. The last one just didn't feel like a good ending.
I'm not sure how to feel about the story. Would have been cool for Geo to age, but I don't know about him being a criminal. Something bad most of happened after 4, for him to go down that path. Still, might have been fun.
The few plot details we have kind of reminds me of the Patriot’s plot from MGS2 with some WatchDogs thrown in. Superheroes are traditionally more in the vigilante vein and I would have liked to see a more rouge-ish megaman.
Yo! That sequel could have been awsome, what a bumer, I hope they re-visit the concept, it was cool to see Lan's descendant!
Starforce vocal theme near the end ? Name of song plz
I would love that game if it was completed being a hacker awesome
If Capcom makes this. I’m getting it
It’s too bad we won’t be getting a mega man starforce 4 anytime soon. Hopefully Capcom comes back to it in the future.
