    A new army of Reploids known as the Repliforce is accused of crashing the Sky Lagoon. Now they are classified as Mavericks and are on the run. X and Zero must hunt them down while getting to the bottom of the crash. In Mega Man X4, 8 more evil robots are on the loose and only you can stop them. Each character is unique with strengths and weaknesses. A classic platformer now a part of the Mega Man Legacy Collection. What's some of your favorite MegaMan moments? With two campaigns to play with different move sets, it doesn't make the Mega Man X4 gameplay feel repetitive.

    MMX4 will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only am I a huge MMX fan, but X4 was the first game I ever played on the PlayStation. I rented the game and the console from Blockbuster back when that was still a thing. When I fired it up and that title screen started, it blew my mind. I’ll never forget that moment.

      Yeah. Split Mushroom is a wild Maverick with no allegiance, so he attacks anyone who enters his tower, Magma Dragoon wanted to test his mettle against X and Zero, so he destroyed the Sky Lagoon (killing thousands of people in the process) to get branded as a Maverick, and Cyber Peacock works directly for Sigma, and everyone else is Repliforce.

    Megaman X4 was the first game I played when I first met my 2nd Dog when my Dad brought her into our house. She always stop and watch me play it no matter what. She would ignore every other game I played except for X4 and will always watch me until I stopped playing. In 2014, not only she was getting old, she also had cancer. I played X4 one last time before her death.
    After that moment, the backward compatible PS3 I had bricked unexpectedly and I couldn’t play my original PSX disc anymore so I left the game behind for a while. It wasn’t until years later when I stumbled onto Jirard’s original X4 review when I realized that this game that my Dog loved watching me play, was loved by him, but by so many people in the comments.
    Seeing this re-review and these comments makes me so happy and proud to call Megaman X4 my favourite game of all time and hopefully it makes my dog, Yasi, proud as well.

      You should pick the ZX collection then if you haven't already. The four GBA games were all pretty great, the first one being the weakest entry but 2 and 3 being some downright amazing games and the game ranking you as you play changing the difficulty depending on well you're doing but also rewarding you with new abilities make them very replayable.

      @@markxv2267 I respectfully disagree. With games like X6 and X7, there’s a lot to appreciate with X4. The level design, the music, the fact that you can play as both protagonists for the first time, and the replay value for the extra costumes.
      At the end of it all, the acting is all I see wrong with the game. And in that case, just play the original Japanese dub because it sounds way better.
      Edit: This is an unpopular opinion but I feel like X3 was even bad because it felt rushed. The boss levels were VERY short, the music was subpar at best (aside from the Doppler stages), and it was really hard even with the boss weaknesses. Just felt way off compared to the previous 2 entries

    Mega Man X is a VERY important game series for me (specifically X) and MMX4 was HUGE to me. so the moment i saw this video posted i clicked so hard i killed my trackball mouse
    megaman x and sonic the hedgehog were the games that built the foundation of my IMMENSE special interest in video games. but one of the main categories for my special interest is game OSTs. i have been listening to them since, well...i played mega man x6. i missed out on a lot of the scene at the time, and say what you will about mega man x6, I still love it and THAT SOUNDTRACK SLAPS
    i left the mega man x games on in the background while i did other stuff. game OSTs are insanely important to me and a PASSION of mine. mega man x games are a core part of my childhood and i love that jirard holds the same sentiment and that he can provide those serotonin boosts through his videos

Thank you for also actually addressing that Repliforce was infiltrated with bad actors under Sigma's influence. I don't know how but time has changed how people talk about this game. I see a lot of referring to Repliforce as "Robot Nazis" and that's it.

    It’s funny that Jirard’s Megaman experience is basically the same as mine. I played the first, didn’t get to play 2 or 3, then played 4. I also consider 1 and 4 to be basically the peaks of the franchise, the best of the best.
    One thing I like about the story is that for the first time we see “Maverick” be used to describe a Reploid not affected by the virus. They choose of their own free will to not be pawns, to want their own nation with their own rules, and get branded with a label used to describe what are essentially mentally ill terrorists. It adds a bit more complexity to the situation, because what the Repliforce is doing is not good(or at least, the way they’re going about it. Sure, Sky Lagoon was a frame job, but they didn’t exactly do anything to dissuade that idea and instead prepared for war), but at the same time X and Zero are basically fighting against a group of people who just want their own independence.

    Christmas 1998, finally got a ps1, had 20 bucks extra from xmas money, went to the malls gamestop/ebgames/insert whatever it was, and there it is a used copy of MMX4. $24, ouch, My grandmother took me to the mall that day, and she happily handed me a 10 before i even asked. Cool thing my grandma was an old school NES gamer and played with me as a kid, young teen me she still got me :). Greatest gift she ever helped me get.

    Fun story. Around 1996, when I was still living in the US, I came back here to Taiwan for a vacation. I picked this game up for the PC in Taiwan. Fun fact, the dark X and dark Zero codes are different on the PC version than on the PSX version. Second fun fact, that game came with trading cards. One for web spider and I forget on the second one. I carried those cards with me for years because of how cool they were.
    Suggestion: try the japanese version of the game. IMO it that extra *umph* that makes it worthwhile.
    1) The bosses have phrases they say before the fight. Not like text dialogue, but actual voices.
    2) The intro has a different soundtrack.
    3) The cut scenes are much better acted.
    I really need to get off my a*s and mode this game...

  • @muticere

    Yep, Mega Man X4 is great, love that game, might be my favorite in the series. Loved playing as Zero, loved the cutscenes, all of them. I think everyone who makes fun of them is crazy, Zero's line delivery when Iris dies is perfection, no notes, you're just a bad person.
    But seriously, it's a pretty nostalgic fave for me. When I got a PlayStation for the first time, the first game I bought for it was Mega Man X4. It kicked my ass for so long, that final Sigma gauntlet of a fight is insane, but my friend and I were able to beat it together and it was amazing.

  • @Hypershell
    @Hypershell 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So, as a huge fan of Zero, Iris, and X4 in general, I gotta nitpick one point, at 10:28
    Zero didn't kill Iris. Most players attack Iris repeatedly to force her to eject the crystal that transformed her, which is the actual weak point of the fight. However, if during the battle against her, Zero is in critically low health, Iris ejects the crystal on her own and this allows Zero to win the fight without ever attacking her. Despite this, she will die anyway. Why? Well, a bit of backstory not presented in X4 itself, but referenced in many spinoffs and guide books since, that crystal is Colonel's memory chip. Iris and Colonel were supposed to be one Reploid but their personalities were too contradictory to function properly. Japanese books at the time (translated by Servbot20) describe Iris as "out of control" and suffering from "rejection symptoms" from the chip.
    Fun fact, in the mobile gacha game "Mega Man X DiVE," the character "Iris -another-" appears to represent what would have happened if Iris had been able to install Colonel's chip properly. She should be released in the overseas version in a couple of months, but be warned, the gacha odds are not pleasant.
    We also saw a postmortem encounter with Iris in the 3DS crossover game, "Project X Zone," in which Zero answers the X4 meme question, and Iris gets the chance to offer a more proper goodbye. It was real heartfelt stuff.
    Love the artwork for this video. The thumbnail is hilarious, and the "bro beards" for both X and Zero at the end were just perfect.

    Probably the same as the other comments, this will always be my favorite of the series, and the one I have played the most. I originally played it on PC back in the day, so I had instant access to all the cutscene movies without even playing the game. This game gave me hope that there could've been an anime using the movie animation, but sadly it never happened.

    I just love X4 to death. The beautiful spritework, environments, level design, platforming, bosses, and armors are so masterfully done. Zero is a perfect compliment to X's playstyle and a fresh and fun way to play Mega Man, one of the best additions by far to a Mega Man game. And while I know people often criticize the music, I really like it. Each piece matches each stage and scenario and there's just an overall feeling that is so different from any game in the franchise (X4 credits theme is my favorite Mega Man credits theme).
    The anime cutscenes feel special being only in this one entry, and while the English voice acting is bad, A. it's laughably bad so I can't hate it that much, B. the Legacy Collection has the Japanese version and the Japanese voice acting which sounds great.

    @xeruexe1624 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a surprise, I just re-played the X story line in X4 yesterday. I did it Buster only and randomized the boss stages (closed my eyes and shuffled the L-Stick around), and yes, it's still a lot of fun. The only thing I would note is that it is one of, if not the easiest game in the Megaman X series. I know the half-way transition point was because of limitations back during the PS1 era, but having a life refill after the half way point does reduce the threat of the mid-bosses somewhat (I'm thinking of you, water-goop machine in Spark Mandrill stage).
    Still, I'd say because of it's difficulty factor (or lack thereof) makes this a good game to just get back and jump in to. And the music was definitely banger: I sometimes have the soundtrack playing in the background while I'm playing some other game.

    The only reason i have any nostalgia with this amazing Mega Man X game is bc i lived with my Aunt and Uncle who had a playstation. I've never owned a playstation even till this day. Idk i guess I'm a loyal Nintendo guy. I remember going to block buster and seeing X4 and asking my Aunt to rent it. I loved it and rented several times. It was the second X game i could actually beat as a 8 year old young gamer with X 2 being the other. I owned X 2 so i could practice a lot with that X game. I always got to Sigma when i rented X 1 and X 3 but could never beat him in neither. It's odd thinking i found X 1 and X 3 so hard bc now i can beat the first 4 X titles no issues at all now but X 4 was so badass to me and still is simply bc u can play it 4 different ways and Zero is fir more than just a Z saber like X 3. Great review Jirard.
