Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite gameplay

Not open for further replies.
At this point in time, the visuals really don't do much for me at all. It doesn't quite look stylized enough to evoke a comic book style, and it doesn't quite look realistic enough to feel like its drawing inspiration from the MCU (vibrant interpretation of reality). It just looks kinda like a bland, characterless visual style... Kind of a bummer.

As a filthy casual, though, I do concede that it looks fun to play and that's important, but also as a filthy casual, I feel like all of its predecessors managed to do something far more interesting visually. That Thor model just looks bad -- the costume choice is fine, but his face and kinda stumpy bodily proportions look horrible in that visual style.
 
graphics will be defended on the grounds that lots of stuff is going on, but this looks like it could nearly run on PS3 to me. We're getting this the same year as Tekken 7 and Injustice 2?

'EASY HYPER COMBO' at the end of the gameplay vid. I'm guessing you can probably mash one button for a lvl 1 super ala KOF XIV...or supers are mapped to a button or whatever. :|

Eh I'll hold out hope it's just an optional 'easy mode' and all the traditional DP motions and such are in tact.

I disagree.
(Today, 04:02 PM)

I'm not the only one that noticed it. A lot of UMVC3 heads pointing it out as well on twitter. If you disagree feel free to compare videos of the two games.

Something looks very off about hit animations right now.
 
Besides being 2v2 I'm not seeing mvc1 and xvsf gameplay. It's much more tvc/mvc3 inspired.

It's definitely a weird fusion. Raw tags seem like they could function as assists, and Ultron clearly has assist-inspired design. But outside that, the neutral game looks like it could/should be more like MvC1. It's hard to tell from the video, because it's mostly combo and shenanigans focused.

Excuse the jittery gif, but it looks like you can use stone abilities as much as you want, even if your bar isn't full, and it doesn't burn bar.

Chris is just standing there spamming POWER STONE until Strider jumps into it, which auto causes a wall bounce.

Yeah graphically they're definitely sitting in last place compared to those two titles.
Which is interesting considering the study just a few weeks ago that said graphics are a like 80% of why people will buy games.

Injustice 2 looks better but Marvel's animations will always make it look better than NetherRealm's floaty, weightless looking movement.
 
I can already tell this game will be so hype at fighting game tournaments.

Eh... I agree that MvCI animation is better than IJ2 animation, but I don't agree that the result is MvCI looking better. It definitely looks worse.
 
It looks like your point character will finish their move before leaving after you tag in. It's not the same as assists, but it looks like tag will have some use in neutral for mix-ups and team synergy will matter.

Yo what the fuck

Marvel has Combo Breakers now?

This is a game changer

this was kind of present in MvC3 prealpha builds and was scrapped out, still are videos with that feature over youtube, when someone guessed right the team aerial counter, but the difference was that you straight got the aerial rave in mvc3 alpha builds, now here you get free tag, no free hit and posible that if done not in time the attacker can still hit both characters, or it seems that would be possible

Guys and about the graphics it might just be the awful youtube compression and quality of the video that makes it look so bad.

Let's hope the actual game looks more like this:

Let's hope for a toggle to get that chromatic aberration off
 
OK the gameplay definitely looks better than I expected with all the dumbed down systems and execution talk.

Might actually get this day one now!

The high res screenshots to me don't look all that bad and they've already polished the lighting of the game up since the December reveal. If they keep improving it to make it as good as the Asgard highway stage, I feel MvCI will be so much more of a satisfying game to look at.

You gotta link? I believe you, been preaching it for years, I just would like a link

Yep, no matter how pretty NRS make their games look, their fucking bland, jittery and sturdy animations kill any interest I could have in those titles.

Very interesting and quite gamechanging. In a way it can function like a custom assist, I don't see any resources spent but I am curious abiut the cooldown and risk of an active switch. I think this game has potential to be quite crazy once we dive into it.

Injustice 2 is the new king of fighting games when it comes to facial expressions.

NRS fighters all feel like extensions of MK characters in animation and movement. I'm sure IJ2 will be great but for me, personally, they don't feel like the characters they're supposed to represent. They all feel like MK characters given slightly different movesets.

Capcom games feel like I'm playing the comic characters. Never get that feeling in Injustice.

inb4 this game has more depth to it than any other MvC game before lol
 
Visually it looks like something that you would expect from a western studio.

Gameplay wise it looks like it has potential but tbh I'm not a fan of gimmicks like those gems are pushing.
