Marvel has different licenses for different things. Activision has a license for action RPGs, SEGA has a few movie license, and EA HAD the fighting game license, but they lost that after the shitty Marvel Nemesis.

I remember hearing that Capcom wanted to port the game a few years ago, but couldn't modify the code since they did not have the license anymore.

I remember when EA lost the license. That was crazy, because the game was using the Fight Night Round 3 engine, and it played similar to MK vs DC. Super Heroes was getting beat up, thrown into building and everything.

Just because it used the FNR3 engine doesn't mean it would've been good. Marvel Nemesis was utter shite.

Soon soon, it will be time to fuck people up online! But man that sucks about the PNS release being about 2 weeks late.

 

[Captain N]

same here. That's why I sent off my hrap 3 to get it dual modded so I can buy both xbox and ps3 version.

Where did you get that done? can I get the same sort of thing for the street fighter TE Stick?

Are you playing on the 360 or PS3?

 

[Christopher]

I can't wait for the PSN release, it's gonig to be awesome. Remember if you want to win fairly easily and your not THAT skilled play online when it first comes out...I actually stood a chance when SFIV first came out, now my ass gets whooped all the time :*(

I don't know how I'd feel about a new Marvel Vs. Capcom I love the series too so much because it uses the 90's look of everyone...I dunno how I'd feel about updated looks so much.

All characters will be unlocked at first ? : /

Yes. It's great really. 3 more days, can't wait until wednesday!

Yeah, upsetting, I know..

Will be going with the PS3 version no 360 here man.

 

[piccolosan]

I'm so excited about this! I couldn't find my cables for the dreamcast so ended up connecting my VGA box to my old monitor to shake off the rust. I wish I could use my Sega Saturn pads on my 360 but don't think there is an adapter for it. I really hope I can play my Strider Doom team effectively. I can't wait to hear people's reactions to Strider Doom once I initiate the trap! People will kneel down to Doctor Doom on Xbox Live!

PM gaf user akuma001. He's done dual mods for many gaf users. Which TE stick do you have? I know it is possible for a 360 te stick. Anyways, just pm akuma001 and he should be able to answer your questions.

I voiced the same opinion and was thoroughly mocked for doing so earlier this year. The common response was "Why should we have to wait for something we want right from the beginning?"

For some reason fighting game fans feel as if they shouldn't have to work for anything.

 

[enzo_gt]

Is there atleast an easier way to choose colours for the characters you choose? I don't like trying out all the buttons I can until I find the colour I like.

 

[topofuji]

So has there been any official reason why the PS3 version isn't releasing this week/delayed to 8/13 and the XBL version gets released this week?
Or can we just blame Microsoft's moneyhatting again? :lol

Why should I have to wait to play as Charlie and Juggernaut, if everyone else gets their favorite players day one? If I wanted to play single player, I'd just play my Xbox version.

Speaking of which, my Hori EX 2 arrived last week, and I finally got around to testing it on Friday. Put in Third Strike (from SF:AC), and was stunned that pulling off chain attacks wasn't as easy as I remembered with a stick - and then I remembered I was playing 3rd strike, which has very unforgiving timing for chaining regular moves into specials/super arts, so even though I was able to easily pull moves off, I hadn't played it in so long that my combo skills were lousy.

The only way to test it in a MvC 2 environment was to throw in the downright broken BC Xbox version that I still have. :lol

Works great, sprite glitches and all. I'm almost tempted to use it to warm up before Wednesday if I can keep from vomiting all over my LCD. Anyone looking for a stick on the cheap should grab it from Buy.com, it's only $49.99.

It's a decade old game. If you want to unlock everything and play single player go and play the original on dreamcast or ps2.

Didn't we have a thread where MS accidentally posted how long each of their arcade games were exclusive for? I remember that's the thread where it said MvC2 was 2 week exclusive.

EDIT: found the thread.

I don't see anything wrong with wanting to unlock all of the characters. Really? Why would anyone care if someone else would like to be able to unlock all of the characters. There are some people who don't want to play it online and enjoy unlocking fighters/characters .

This is true. I do think that would of been fun, but damn, that took forever to get everything unlocked.

I agree but they could've made it easier to unlock characters, thats not impossible you know. But I'm happy with the decision to make all characters unlocked from the start, they still will probably have artwork and stuff for the people DYING to have something to unlock.

 

[jon bones]

Boggles my mind why people would want to spend any time in single player in a fighting game. Especially in the day of XBL/PSN.

I really want to see how many people going to use Blackheart on the game.

practice so you dont get owned online? is the only reason i can think about, sure there is training mode but in arcade mode you can actually ''die'' :lol

I can understand people wanting to do that too. I just don't see why some people are bashing others for liking unlockables.

You should not have to work for basic content. It's like someone making you work for oxygen and water, it's just not right. If you really want to unlock things, I'm sure the trophies/achievements should be enough.

Just spend your first 40 to 50 playthroughs in arcade mode using only the 'center square' characters, and click in and out of the options menu 4 or 5 times every time you beat abyss.

There, you've simulated unlocking, while the rest of us have our fun.

I don't mind everyone being unlocked from the start. I can just see why some people would want to unlock them.

why?

 

[Lothars]

why?

at least for me it gives me something to do in the game when im playing it normally, plus it lets me try different teams that I might not use but I wish there was an option to make characters unlockable.

It's not a big deal but would be kind of nice.

I would say it's because of Microsofts Summer of Arcade promotion but I wish it was out on the PS3 this week as well.

Taking turns with my brother in single player to unlock stuff is almost more fun than playing VS.-matches.

 

[-PXG-]

Man....I'm getting the PS3 version, but I don't know if I should get it on 360 as well. I got 2350 points. This or the Gears 2 Dark Corners maps?

 

[Roto13]

I like unlockables, even in fighters, but the original MvC2 did it very, very wrong. I'd rather have everything unlocked than go through that crap, but I'd honestly rather have a Brawl-style grid thing than anything.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Talk about hyperbole. I also take it that you hate any game with unlockable content?

It's not like I have a huge problem with it, I just am in the minority that would like something to do in single-player mode. Unlocking all the characters from the start almost makes single-player useless.

As for online, admittedly, I don't have the time to put into mastering a fighting game and will get destroyed.

I usually only play casually online... and while I loved this game as a versus type game back on the DC, I don't generally get to play with people I know as much as I'd necessarily like... which makes me have mixed feelings on the unlock thing.

I mean, I didn't like needing to unlock people I want to use (SFIV) but also, depending on how the achievements are structured, I like *something* to draw me into the single player experience.

It's a gift and a curse.

 

[gibration]

So this game comes out Tuesday or Wednesday?

 

[Christopher]

Please I'm glad the shit is unlocked on the PS2 version is was so tedious and boring to unlock that stuff. If it were the Street Fighter IV or a different kind of way besides those stupid "points" it would be fine.

Wednesday. You can stay that night and it'll be available I think at 5 AM, but you are better off sleeping and waking up to buy the game

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

thank god everything is unlocked, i dont have time for that shit.

does anyone know if the character select allows you to pick 3 Ryu's (for instance)? i remember i could do it on dreamcast with some weird save file i downloaded, but i couldn't do it on the ps2 or xbox version.

LOL WUT!? X-box version let you do it (can't say for the PS2 version, don't own it). JILL/JILL/JILL. CABLE/CABLE/CABLE. :lol

But I'm sure you can do that out of the gate.

oh, i must have been mistaken then

not that i use that normally, i just liked seeing 3 ryu's doing that super laser at the sametime

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Three of the same character was available when you got all characters, and all colors.

 

[MMaRsu]

Super laser?

ehh

 

[Roto13]

In previous versions, to have the same character on your team multiple times, you had to unlock all of the characters and colours.

EDIT: I'm too slow.

Since everything is unlocked from the start, it stands to reason that you'll be able to do it from the get go in the PS360 version. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Backbone overlooked that feature entirely. It's exactly the kind of thing they would do.

 

[Maximus.]

wat! i didnt know all the characters would be unlocked! this is making me even more hyped now...dream team from the start!
