Last week Capcom unveiled a rather unusual new project.E.X. Troopersis a cel-shaded third-person shooter with a manga-style art direction. Sounds plenty Japanese, but not exactly out of the ordinary. Oh, did I forget to mention it’s aLost Planetspin-off?
While few might have guessed Capcom’s interstellar colonial war series had an association withE.X. Troopersbased on looks alone, some fans had a sneaking suspicion that the forthcoming 3DS and PS3 title was the “reanimated corpse ofMega Man Legends 3.”Not so, says Capcom’s Seth Killian.
Responding to a potential connection between the two games in a forum post over atCapcom-Unity, Killian asserts thatE.X. Troopers“is definitely not a reskinnedLegends,” claiming it existed prior to the demise of the ill-fatedMega Mangame. While he notes that the titles were being developed by separate teams, Killian believes it’s conceivable that there could be some personnel overlap now that theLegends 3staff has moved on to other projects.
