It is Sony's Smash.

That was Sony Playstation Allstars. It didn't do very well

Is this a team fighter? If so, hard pass for me.

 

[DForce]

2021

MLB The Show is somewhat niche, too.

Dragon Ball FighterZ sold over 6 million copies, so a well-known IP can still do huge numbers. A dream scenario would have Sony buying the studio and then fund a big triple A fighting game with a new Marvel vs Capcom that is co-developed by Arc.

They didn't buy it but they did in fact co-develop a ....fighting game with Marvel characters and not Capcom.

My dude Iron Man looks dope. Like a straight up Gundam type. I love it. Doom's design looks dope too.

 

[Lambogenie]

Sad it's not Capcom, ASW games just don't feel as good. But I understand wanting something new and with a company that has more recent IP success (DBZ).

But Arcs DLC pricing is awful.

 

[Celcius]

Looking forward to this, the ArcSys art style is amazing

 

[Killer8]

Don't care for fighting games but every now and then one comes along to ignite my interest.

This is one of those games.

This, but every ASW game in general.

 

[Hideous Snake]

That's not a negative lol

Marvel Infinite had less players than the free DBZ Fighterz weekend and gave everyone what they wanted. This was natural IMO, especially seeing they made a glorious fan service game like that.

It is to me. I don't like fighting games

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Hoping for Cyclops.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Honestly, this looks awesome - basically what I wanted from an MVC4 (ie: not Infinite). Pacing looks right, it looks downright fun, and I'm digging the character designs.

This looked insanely great, you can feel the passion and love of the team in this one

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Not really into fighting games, but this looks like a banger. I love Marvel characters, love the art style and how it has an anime twist, rather than just conform to how the characters traditionally look. Looks like it has some passion and soul from that mini documentary. Count me in.

It's refreshing when a game this big doesn't leak

I agree on pricing but IMO DBZ is way better than Infinite.

I rather give them a chance. Capcom fumbled Infinite really bad.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I hope the roster is at least a bit chunky on release, ASW has a tendency to do smaller rosters and then a fuckton of overpriced DLC.

 

[Porcile]

4x4 is an obvious choice but at the same time who the hell has time to learn how to get good with four friggin characters? This has always been my issue with these tag fighting games. The aesthetics and characters are cool and that brings in some casuals in the beginning but then the game itself becomes super niche and the only people who can make any progress are the people who have been playing it since release.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

The dev literally addressed that in the presentation, you can either learn all characters on your team and tag into them, or just use one character and use the others as assists.

 

[Hideous Snake]

I just came here to post this

 

[Timberwolf25]

But how does that work? Unless all 4 characters share 1 lifebar? Once the point character dies, it's next character up normally.

Edit: Watching the announcement vid again, I didn't see any character lifebars, meter, etc

 

[Hideous Snake]

Here, there's another one:

 

[Icymanipulator]

This looks very cool

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

[Timberwolf25]

Well played for having a hottie on your reply!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Japanese aesthetic Marvel.

 

[saintjules]

weird game to end the show on "especially when you promised saros last time" but it looks like a good time, not a game for me though.

Unless that's sarcasm, they promised nothing lol

 

[splattered]

Looks fucking awesome though I may never play it. Don't play fighting games like i used to :/

 

[Wilhelm_85]

That looks rad. Too bad I have a strong disgust for just about anything Marvel these days. Still looks really cool.

 

[bender]

Same, but I mostly don't like most modern fighting games. Arc System Works games are generally too technical for me, but I love their style. I also have zero interest in Marvel, but Arc's style and everything being in Japanese is going to make me buy this game.

Picture the ratio system from CVS 2, but with assists instead of just 1 guy.

 

[majestix1988]

If only they supaidaman meme for introduction for spidey it will burst more hype for it

 

[Boo Who?]

Serious Dragonball Fighter Z vibes, which is one of the best fighting games ever made, with its play style. Bring...it....on!

 

[onQ123]

Marvel vs Capcom without Capcom is diabolical

 

[Perrott]

I don't think anything leaked, at all. Sony ninjas doing their work, I guess.

Nioh 3, as well a pretty comprehensive list of partners to be featured at this event (such as IOI, making it a given that we'd see 007 here) had all leaked in the hours prior.

Fantastic event regardless of it though.

 

[Lethal01]

Can't wait to play Marvel ditches Capcom 4: A

 

[Super Lemon Drop]

Watched the trailer just now and if it was a 1v1 game I'd be in on the ultimate edition day one.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

This is PS studios…hopefully ComboFiend has been working on this after finishing his Spider-Man work (I think he is still with Sony?!?)

 

[__SteakDeck__]

They never said Saros would be at the next SOP. They said Saros will be shown "later this year". Sony will most likely have another SOP in September and there's also The Game Awards.

FF Tactics did

FF Tactics did

Probably externally from sources within Square Enix itself rather than coming from the State of Play.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Made me wish I wasn't ass with fighting games.

ARC's Dragon Ball FighterZ game and now this are instant 10/10.

Max was talking about the possibility of a 4v4 game 2 weeks ago:



In the same video he talks about a potential Marvel vs Capcom 4 (timestamp 11:02) . No doubt Max heard something from his contacts, but assumed it was MvC4.

Good catch, in retrospect it's kinda insane that a Marvel 4v4 game made by ArcSys and published by Sony didn't totally leak.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Certified megaton announcement, anyone shitting on it has no clue what they are talking about lol (or just hates fighters but should still see how big a reveal this is), day fucking one

 

[Rickyiez]

Here, there's another one:

This is awesome . And the game looks freakin cool , pretty sure it baited a lot of MVC peeps

 

[Jinzo Prime]

It is Sony's Smash.

Except, no Sony exclusive characters and playable on a Steamdeck

What a strange thing to say.
