News::Zero slices and dices in this Mega Man animation

3D CG fan animations can be a tricky thing. Fans don't have access to the incredible tools that pros use, thus their work obviously looks much, much, much rougher than what you'd see in theaters or even on TV. Getting around that nasty hurdle requires a clear stylistic hook.

Japanese animator GiM's trademark is to make characters resemble adorable figurines with big, expressive faces -- like a Nenderoid Toy Story. GiM took that style and applied it towards a Mega Man fan video entitled "Rockman Xero." It's an adaptation of the opening of Mega Man Zero but with notable changes, such as Roll from the Classic series replacing Ciel and Zero packing his Z-saber right out the gate. Also for some reason, the Monado from Xenoblade features prominently in the background.

A sequel is roughly 80% complete, so it shouldn't be too long before we see more robot cutlets.

One of the best things about travelling to shows like PAX East and the Game Developers Conference is the chance to check out titles from off-the-beaten-path, independent developers. While shows like E3 are overwhelmed by the presence of multi-million dollar booths from huge publishers, the early-in-the-year shows make a point of highlighting some of the most original and promising game ideas from game makers without big contracts or salaried positions behind them. Freed from the financial responsibilities of the major AAA publishers, these are the titles that are most likely to truly break new ground in gameplay, aesthetics, and subject matter.
