I don't know why this keeps coming up. If they copy+pasted everything it would look like they were reselling UMvC3 again, or a UMvC3-2, with an even smaller expansion tacked on than when going from MvC3 to UMvC3; if they even had that many resources, which, as we can see, they clearly don't.
This is not maximum level shill here.
That's like saying "If I gave you this cheeseburger I bought, it would look like I'm just giving you my leftovers. So instead I'm going to throw half in the trash, and give you the other half." How in the world does that make sense?
Ryu's arm in SF4 cost $100k to make based on Seth's comments. So like half a million per character at least I would imagine in a bigger budget fighting game. Skullgirls is more indie and even that needs over $100k to make a single character.
"Internally" could have also meant Capcom Vancouver handling development.
What I said doesn't conflict with this. We have a pretty good idea of where the money went, that there probably wasn't much of it, and it wasn't where most of us would want.
Makes perfect sense when you consider the headlines if they pumped out UMvC3 at $60 with 6 new characters vs. some returning, some not returning painted as a new, different game, as it has been. They'd be much worse off because it would make it even more apparent it's a gutted UMvC3, even if it had more characters (but not necessarily content, see: Story Mode) on paper. Hate the word, but it's all about the optics, and differentiating it from UMvC3 is more important than pumping out UMvC3-2 if you want to sell it to more than just the hardcore. I'm not defending it, way back I was one of the only people saying that an MvC4 should basically be MvC3 with a bazillion new characters tacked onto it that they continue to add to. No shit more characters is better even if you're reusing them, but when you only have so many resources to work with it's kind of self-evident why we got what we got unless they wanted to guarantee what they put out would bomb. Look at the reaction to the game already for looking like Capcom's trying to scam you into buying a gutted UMvC3 again, that's a big reason for why people are passing on this game already. It's nonsensical to say there's "no reason" for them not to bring every character back from UMvC3. Maybe in MvC:Infinite Money Edition, where we can ignore all context.
MvCI is technically superior, but like Aris once said, there's a lack of respect for the legacy. This new image on rkappa sums up how a lot of people feel.

Capcom has to be one of the most inefficient publishers out there.
This was the premise of that Polygon article, SFV is the best case against not buying MvC:I, or whatever.
I mean DBFZ has great presentation, but has delay based netcode. That screams lazy to me... MvCi has shit presentation, but rollback netcode. It remains to be seen how good MvCi netcode is after the initial impressions (always skeptical of day -5 netcode impressions)...

There's many reasons not to like or buy MvC:I, that much is obvious, the game hasn't exactly set the world on fire, and people are justified in having gameplay concerns as well (especially given the drastic change going from the last iteration), but that's perhaps the most subjective quality a game can have next to character design. Dunno what you're referring to in terms of bugs unless you're talking about the shit MikeZ was perpetuating despite not patching the game?
lol...
