I still can't believe Spencer made it in. I'd rather have any other character from UMvC3.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's Menus Suck
Yeah it's been talked to death already but now it's getting mainstream.

Is the take you for a ride song from MvC2 anywhere in this game? Or will they sell that as DLC?

Not cinematic enough, sorry

Fantastic OT, great job! Though I am not as excited as when MvC 3 came out, my boy X is there so I am stoked.
Venom making it in is good news, I hope Monster Hunter plays similar to Taskmaster (weapons and such). Once they make it, I'll consider picking this up. Tekken and Rev 2 seem like a better investment at the moment for what you get. Hopefully Capcom can finally make something happen with their Game As A Service model they wanted to do with SFV, but on a timely manner this time around.
Good OT, though!

From the streams I have seen they spent next to nothing on UI.

This OT has better presentation than the game's menus. Nicely done, lmao.
Spencer is one of the most popular and beloved characters from MvC3, not hard to believe.
IMO critiquing menus, while it does contribute to an overall lackluster presentation, is such a nitpicky thing. So many games have equally garbage ass menus and it doesn't become a point of discussion until there's other objectionable parts of the game. SFV was similarly complained about, but MvC:I got worse PR and some bigger scandals in some ways and the hate for the menus is kind of proportional.
But I bet a single review won't note how much better and clearer the UI/HUD is than UMvC3 (or MvC3s with the tiny text and shitty X-Factor indication, for that matter).The UI is the best it's been since MvC2.
I want the cinematic version of the song now.
There's a a TWO HOUR FULLY CINEMATIC STORYMODE in this game, no way they had time for that.
First impressions matter, though. And turning on the game and seeing those ugly-ass menus is not a good first impression.
Remember Playstaiton All-Stars Battle Royale? I still see people on GAF bring up how hideous those menus were on like a monthly basis.

At what point did Capcom get so borderline bankrupt that they have to make games with this kind of budget? Was it Resident Evil 6? I thought that sold well though...

It may be a PR fuckup, but the info wasn't accidentally released.
Shocking.gif if so
I blast the menus for PSABR all the time. It is such a shit menu. It instantly sours me on the game every time I think about it. It's unfathomable that a cross over celebrating characters has such shit presentation. It becomes clear it's just product.
It's possible for me to overlook shitty presentation if the game is good enough though but I will be doing so begrudgingly. MvCI thankfully at least seems to have the game play to back it up but they did the game a huge disservice with the presentation of it all. As wishful thinking as it is to have a complete overhaul, I really do hope they at least update the UI and menus at some point even though long term lastability won't rely on it that much. It'd just be so much nicer to have a cooler, slicker game.
I'm remembering MvC3's incredible credits sequence and despite me wishing it had stuff like Infinite's story mode and more character interactions, god - every time I looked at it I just instantly forgot what I was playing was just a piece of corporate work. It oozes love and care. The fact that Ultimate got rid of it made me so annoyed.

I think it was a half fuck.
There is probably supposed to be more along with it like Renders and Such.

It got me to pre-order the deluxe when before I wasn't even planning on buying the season pass.

Infinite's menus and UI are bad but they're at least pretty clear. It's a really utilitarian approach which is probably not what you should go through in a crazy flashy game like Marvel but I think I'd at least take it over a cluttered UI/Menu.

I seem to remember they spent a few years making bad calls like throwing a bunch of money at western developers to make "AAA style western hits", like Grin's Bionic Commando, Ninja Theory's DmC, and Airtight's Dark Void.
Then they sank a ton of money into Resident Evil 6 and Dragon's Dogma. RE6 sold OK but while Dragon's Dogma turned out great, it didn't sell spectacularly.
For fighting games I suspect the failure of Street Fighter X Tekken may have soured Capcom's management on spending any money on the genre. It's like, Capcom knows fighters have a core fanatical following and that there's esports potential. So they are obligated to keep SF alive and Marvel is a hot property right now. But it sure feels as if they're handling the games with a pair of tweezers while holding their nose.
Could care less for those chars besides wesker gambit and Vergil. I know some of those chars are staples but nah time for new blood.
Lmao if it's not OG venom I'll be tight!
It's not even about sigma anymore! There's just a lot more characters I wanna play compared to mahvel 3.

That makes a lot of sense, they also never stuck with any of those because they never met their insanely high expectations iirc
At least Spencer is here so we can remember that proud history.
Combination of increasing costs with the new gen, RE6, SFxT, Dragon's Dogma, RE6, DmC and Lost Planet 3 all underperforming to various degrees, Capcom's massive restructuring after their outsourcing failures, and troubles with Panta Rhei and Deep Down, I think. RE6 and DD in particular were their two biggest, most expensive titles at the time.

RE6 was so bad it got mentioned twice
You mean you couldn't care less, if you could care less it means you care
I appreciate that they released the names so folks are blindly buying a character pass (Hey Capcom, do the same thing for SFV next year!) but they could've at least published some character art to accompany this announcement.
(I started typing this response over an hour ago but got busy.)
thats my bad, I checked that capcom unity article expecting a big blowout so when it was about the game coming out tomorow and had Panther and Sigma pictures, I didnt notice the last paragraph
That one is on me Capcom employee lurkers >_<

RE6 made a profit, it just didn't reach the lofty goals capcom had set.
It's more comparable to Tomb Raider. Which also made a profit but didn't sell as much as Square expected.

I think it's mainly worth bringing up because it needed to reach those lofty goals because it was ridiculously expensive to make. And I already forgot about Deep Down! RIP

Deep Down and Phanta Rhei did more to harm capcom than anything else in that list.
I think I might wait till either the weekend or next week to buy the game. Stupid stuff from university keeps getting in the way, plus I have a few job interviews this week so I'll hardly have any time to really focus on playing the game, and knowing myself I might not be able to stop playing and fuck up somewhere. My schedule for next week looks better so I'll just wait till then I suppose.

I always thought Monster Hunter did so well it basically subsidized everything else Capcom did. You'd think that MonHun money would trickle down to their other titles but I guess not...
6.5 I think.
Sounds like you can only play ASW games.
I mean, lag always sucks but not being able to play a game just because of it? fucking lol
You're prolly right, dude wouldn't be able to play any modern games besides Injustice and Rev 2.
The fuck you talking about new blood?? 25/30 of the base roster are returning characters. That's roughly 80%.
