The Mega Man 8 and X4 intros are already done
TheMega Manseries hosted some kick ass anime cutscenes, particularly during the original PlayStation era. Not all of themhad great English dubs, but I appreciate that studios went through the effort to animate cutscenes for video games: witnessingSonic CD‘s introfor the first time in-person blew me away.
YouTuber VJ Ravenlight seemingly appreciates it too, and they’ve taken it upon themselves to actually restore these cutscenes to make them more relevant in this modern era. The original source material is made up of paltry 320×240 quality, but VJ Ravenlight managed to use AI to restore these scenes to 1080p quality. Hey, if Capcom shows no interest in doing it (the last official vestige of this was includingDay of Sigmain therecentX Collections, someone may as well do it for them.
Their efforts have already restored the Japanese and English versions ofMega Man X4‘s intro, as well as the Japanese intro forMega Man 8. VJ Ravenlighthas informedMega Mansupersite Rockman Cornerthat more are on the way, including cutscenes from “every PlayStation eraMega Mangame, from8,toX4,toX5,toX6.
