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.

Yep, I believe Mushroom, Peacock, and Dragoon are the only ones with the Sigma logo on their health bars. The rest have the Repliforce logo.

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.

@@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

@geminialchemist2441 2 года назад

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.

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.

To be clear, X4 is my third favourite of the bunch, so it's not like I dislike it or anything. It certainly handles better than X3, and everything else that comes after it. That said, if you like Zero's gameplay in X4, I recommend the Zero series. They can be a bit rough around the edges at times, but man do they play well.

@sleepingkirby 2 года назад

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...

@Hypershell 2 года назад

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.

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.

This was my first megaman game when it came out, i was probably like 12 or something, i never noticed how bad the voice acting was until all the memes came out. I thought i had some sort of mandela effect going on but its hard to believe i thought it was good LMAO

There is a surprising lack of comments mentioning the amazing Pepsi Man shirt Jirard is wearing. It needs more recognition!

In the next mega man game on a next-gen console, you can now play as the red one fully!

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.

Haven't even watched the video yet but I had to gush. This is the first Mega man game I've ever played and one of my favorite games of all time. First game I've ever completed too. I love this game and know it like the back of my hand. (Not that I know that much.) The soundtrack is so damn good (Slashbeast stage was a B-B-B-BANGER). Someone should've been arrested for making gameplay that smooth and good my lord. The cheat codes for X and Zero were always a fun time. This game was and still is so much fun to go back too. I can't say enough good things. Zero and X are GOATS

Say what you want about the voice acting but it's an Oscar worthy performance and worthy of being apart of The Criterion Collection compared to Last Alert on Turbografx 16. Although Last Alert is possibly the funniest voice acting in a video game ever so it does have that going for it.

I actually recently completed this game from the Legacy collection. I never had this for PSone, I only have X5.

I remember being late into being a Megaman X fan. I didn't find it until I was 21 but when I found X4,I fell in love with it to the point where every time I could put a clan tag,I'd always but MMX4 because it became my favorite Megaman game of all time. I need to finish them all but X4 has put the bar so high,I don't think it's going to be removed any time soon

@kongkunin 2 года назад

MMX4 is one of my favorite megaman games as well!

@xeruexe1624 2 года назад

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.

megaman x5 was my first game on playstation, i couldnt beat a single freakin level lmao. but somehow i could be MMX1 in under an hour. the difficulty curve is insane lmao

@pooriahamidi571 2 года назад

I grow up with PS1 era megaman games and they are still my fav megaman games specially X4 also shout out their mods, they change the translation and make important gameplay teawks to 5 and 6 and also the Japanese voice acting for 4 is actually amazing, so mod that too

@Therealcovault Год назад

X4 is my favorite, no competition. Mostly because of the gameplay, but also because of the art design. The music perfectly captures the mood and set the vibe perfectly, too. At least for most of the game. I could go on and on about why I love X4! At the same time I totally get why people crap on it, and prefer 1-3. The Completionist nails it, essentially

@needlessdragon3368 2 года назад

I didn't play X4 when it first released so it wasn't as impactful for me as it was for everyone else in the comments section (and Girard!) The first three games in the series remain my favorite. X4 was the beginning of the end for me.

@SilverbackGorilla69 2 года назад

I play the Saturn version. It's tough to beat the original X, but X4 is right there with it to me.

@@alexrush4140 Yeah, ZX and ZX Advent are both really fun games. They both play in the style of the Mega Man Zero ganes. Just a warning tho, you might wanna look up a map for ZX.

Love the anime cutscenes of this game. I had them all downloaded on my computer and watched them on a regular basis before I even had a PlayStation or the game itself much later in life.
