MegaMan X8 Demake - Full Playthrough (All Upgrades)

What a fantastic way to kick off the new year! I've had my eye on this game ever since I first saw footage of it in 2022, and initially I thought it was gonna be some hyped fan project that would end up being abandoned or left on indefinite hiatus like a lot of other MegaMan fangames, but boy was I proven wrong. The sprite work and animation are absolutely gorgeous, and a few levels from the original (namely Gigabolt Manowar's stage) underwent some QoL changes to make them less egregious and actually enjoyable.
The developer of this game must have been super dedicated and worked tirelessly on it with so much love and appreciation, as a gift to all of us die-hard MegaMan fans who had collectively given up hope for the series as a whole. Thank you so very much! Can't wait for its completion!

Someone can tell me how activate V sync on the game please ? My screen on the game tears... :/

Hey @MegaMetalManX are you planning to put in 16-bit MMX Styled Remixed Music as well? 🎵🎶:If so maybe make a deal with @Dracula9Antichapel (His Lumine Battle 1 remix is amazing!) There's also; @JX, @LegendOfRenegade, or even @Mega SFC.(That is if you can't do it yourself..)

[@m3gAm37aLmAnX]

That's not up to me. That would be up to the creator whether they wanted to do that or not. I had nothing to do with the development of this game@@zeableunam

[@McBobX]

If you can contact the dev of this game, please tell him to make the game speedruning friendly 😅

[@spiraltawa6320]

Really glad to see Man-O-War and Yeti having actual stages. Looking forward to the final stages.

[@quote1207]

Gotta love how they replaced it with bland and annoying stages with gimmicks that don't matter!!!

[@jaretco6423]

​@loganmcglynn9950 I didn't mind Yeti's stage that much. But yeah. Man-o-War was an pain in the butt. I did not like that stage.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

Hoping one day we can see an X7 demake, it could really benefit from it, just look how amazing this one turned out, I imagine this is what a hypothetical X9 would’ve looked like if Capcom continued cashing in on our Nostalgia like they did with Megaman 9 and 10, despite it just being an X8 Demake at the end of the day.

[@iAmTheWagon]

39:08 😮 What great use of a sound from Sonic The Hedgehog. So cool.

[@fabiomedeiros3241]

Sim. de sonic e knuckles. Achei legal a referência.

[@picxal1948]

I have a new appreciation for the x8 OST. Panda's theme goes so hard. This is such a cool project.

[@someguy3267]

The fact Gigabolt Man-O-War's level doesn't give me the sudden urge to off myself when seeing it in public makes this demake a direct upgrade from the original X8.

[@ThiagoErnani]

This game is simply fantastic! It's a shame there's no Zero or Axel. But all the work is paying off.

[@tacosauce0]

Zero and Axel are a MUST

I can understand ignoring Axl. But Zero has been around since the first X game…wouldn’t be an X identity without him.

[@RagnarokAvatar]

Finished this game today and i cant describe the feel of playing a new Megaman X, the guy behind this project is incredible in game development

[@quote1207]

He's literally refusing to add Zero, Axl, New Game+, the shop system, and dozens of other mechanics because he says it'd "Take too long." No SHIT, it's called MAKING A GAME. It takes TIME. But he wants to rush it out so there can "Be the first mega man fangame in a decade".

If Capcom ever returns to the series, I hope they take note from the community and return to roots also. I have started to appreciate and enjoy the last couple games in the series but maaaaaan there is something so charming about the 16-bit X. This is great work.

[@yourtypicalutpersona]

Mega Man 9 & 10 did came back to roots, though.

[@JV-nm1fy]

@@loganmcglynn9950 Do you think that nostalgia is ruining the megaman franchise?

[@solacehollow6062]

​@@loganmcglynn9950are you saying this doesn't look good? It certainly CAN be nostalgia baiting with stuff like mm9 and 10, but look at x8 and this and try saying this isn't beautiful. I won't say better, since opinions ARE subjective.

[@SuperStormDroid]

I personally want Capcom to make X9 with X4-6 graphics.

[@Smalltummywonderful]

Well been seeing this going around recently, nice video all of the upgrades that are shown in this video is pretty cool

[@bayzul7405]

Common complaint stages are "too large" but going Bamboo Pandemonium first, you can take advantage the spaces. Think it a Chill Penguin capsule anyone new or lost as X8 Demake is indeed challenging. Absolute blast worth a 2nd run challenging armorless Definitely X9-like vibes returning old style this demake. Can't wait next update felt like last year zipped fast on this with style

[@Susanoox]

Thats looks awesome brooooo !!! What a great job you do in this game ❤ happy new year and i hope see in the future a zero with all his weapons and axl ❤

[@H3pheastus]

[@Bserelepes]

I can't wait for see Zero too! Amazing work!

[@MemoPOI]

the full set of armour as a sprite looks so good, nice job

[@leonnoel9661]

The original game was released 20 years ago. I am pretty sure that, if this project is done before this year ends, it would be a way to commemorate Megaman X8's twentieth anniversary. Like many who have commented before me, I can't wait for this demake to be completed, but as they say, the best things in life take time. Besides, a polished game is at least three times as good as a rushed one.

[@Reialine]

I can't wait to see them make the Jakobs moon elevator stage. I can imagine it will look very gorgeous in 16-bit style!

[@Travistouchdown34]

I never realized how powerful the mavericks in X8 are with the amount of damage they make No wonder for this game they send two hunters instead of one

[@TheGodOfGematria]

MegaMan x9 should just be a demake with the idea being that X hits his head and canonically imagined it as 16 bit

[@w20h]

Nice work! I hope upgrades for future

[@FireBomberBassist]

This is a work of art.

[@theodorfons1551]

I am so hyped rn! Hope the devs will make some crazy improved final stages and bosses

[@seyriuu]

"The dev" Alysson (www.twitch.tv/alyssondapaz) is making it 100% solo

[@NinPossible]

This looks great! Thank you so much for sharing this. Wish you guys had style option to choose between X1-3 and X4-6 though. 😊

[@SyrePreddY]

X8 had the best soundtrack. Glad to hear it again. Keep up that impressive work, please! (rooster with just buster seems interesting...)

[@WynterLegend]

The spritework in this is exquisite! Fantastic work to the team!

[@TheManManoel]

This game was made by the Brazilian Alysson da Paz all by himself, surprisingly the results are really good

[@WynterLegend]

@@TheManManoel My statement still stands. Excellent work!

[@fabiomedeiros3241]

39:00 same sound the eggman cannon in sonic and knuckles. Amazing reference.

[@fendroca]

I'm so glad they made adjustments to the weapons and armor parts so that they are all more useful and significant. They did some buffs and nerfs to the H armor too.. better buster and body part but the leg parts are nerfed so that it only works on ground dash. Even the leg parts of the Icarus armor grants a double jump/air dash which is better than just making x jump higher.. this is a great demake that adjusts what the original is lacking in some parts.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

I wonder how this game will handle the final battle...

[@TENRAN432]

oh man, i'm in the same boat as your description, this game is coming along amazingly! i wonder if they'll make a 16 bit rendition of the x8 ost

[@MichaelWorthy25]

It would have been nice to see the Jakob Orbital Elevator and Sigma's Palace on the moon. Just imagine what the boss battles with Sigma and Lumine would have been like. Thanks for keeping the OST of X8 in tact.

Optic Sunflower's weapon's charge attack uses a sound effect from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

[@MySelfTheThird-ft8fo]

i just finshed the demo this morning and i got to say the work was very well made ! the 1v8 boss rush caught me by surprise but after a few tries i was able to defeat 5 out of 8 . problem was the game glitched and i was stuck unable to more or being damaged by the bosses. so i had 3 of them just constantly spamming attacks while i wasn't able to move or die.

[@kevinvieira4458]

It is a really nice job the dev is doing. I can't wait to see the next updates and of course, Ultimate Armor. ;]

[@DreamerGalaxius]

39:07 the sound of Sunflowers special attack...that's from Sonic&Knuckles Final Boss 😄

[@william-projetopiano2312]

Owww, great work!!!

[@vincenzomarinostylex9765]

The oreder I recommend going is Panda < Ant < Trillbyte < Yeti < Sunflower < Man-O-War < Mantis < Rooster Panda is the easiest and his weapon can be good against bosses like Antonion and Yeti.

Sure you do ! You can make your own demake ,go ahead champ!

​@@blueshot333 without zero it doesn't feel like an X game

[@cross6781]

Considering the girls are just palette swaps for the original trio and ways to play the regular cast but doubled, I don't see them being brougjt in this. But zero/axl might still be considered by the devs. The tools for making them all exist already, it would just need some touch-ups

[@genericogeronimo2163]

The creator said only X will be playable
