Just been allowed a very quick go on a friend's review copy. Glad to report that Klassic Skins are all unlockable (by purchasing concept art for that character, which is all random as you don't know what you are buying until it unlocks). I was allowed to choose a grave at random, I picked 7 and got Reptiles Klassic skin.

Capcom does not approve.


Great work NRS. Thanks for not nickel and diming the fans for content already on the disc.

360 is the easier dual mod most likely, so I'd keep that.

oh..thats good to know, 360 it is. Also what do you mean by dual mod...Im assuming modding it so it works on PS3 as well?

yes

awesome...how complicated a process is it?

It's fairly easy. You can just solder another PCB (printer circuit board) to your stick.

There's also one you can buy that has both 360 and PS3 on one board...but it still seems easier to install on a 360 stick.

Also since when was Marvel's netcode bad? MvC3 matches have been great for me online the majority of the time. Same with Blazblue, SF4, and SSF4.

I haven't seen it definitively reported yet, so there we go!

Assuming Klassic Fatalities require a seperate purchase within the Krypt.

That's great. I probably won't even redeem the code I get from Best Buy, then — it'll be more fun to unlock all the skins via the Krypt.

Thanks a bunch...it's definatley something I will be looking into this summer when I have more time.

Makes me wonder if this is possible on my 360 HRAP VX SA.

Not sure the if that game's netcode is worse than SSF4's, but the game itself is more sensitive to latency just because it's faster.

But when people complain about MvC3's online they usually complain about the ass-backwards way a lot of things are implemented, the general lack of features, and the matchmaking.

 

[RS4-]

And the rest of the marvel online complaints are just about general match making when you're from one part of north america and end up playing on awful connections vs those from mexico, brazil and europe.

I ended up using this config for MK on my TE
FP - Tag - BP
FK - block - BK

I tried to switch the front__ with the tag/block and it felt awkward after a while. Getting used to the combo system is much more different; not everyone has the same dial a combo chain either.

Jax could get away with something like the ground pound, then walk up two FP, into a target then cancel into the rush punch/command grab or his fireball or j.attack xx throw; or if you got them in the corner, ground pound then land 4-5 FPs into the above followups.

Hell even the FP only followup could do thirty odd percent. But that stuff is all pretty basic; have to try to figure out what you can really do.

There's an old Russian maxim “Doveryai, no proveryai – trust, but verify.” to channel a certain Jelly bean loving American president. I just have yet to see this confirmed on TRMK or others chiming in from the spoiler thread.

 

[clockpunk]

Apparently completing an individual character's arcade challenge (?) ladder will also unlock the costume. Still not 100% certain about Fatalities, but it seems almost certain that they should be in the Krypt as well.

I expect a full list of what each of the 100+ numbered purchases unlocks within a day of two of release.

 

[Deacan]

If you can unlock the classic costumes in-game thats a great move, fed up of customers being penalised for buying a game at their choice of retailer.

I would not mind pre-order bonus swag like a poster or T-shirt but in-game stuff really rubs me the wrong way.

You do unlock a kostume by beating arcade, but those are different than the klassic kostumes.

MK rules just because it gives me an excuse to use more "K"'s

 

[Lifejumper]

How do you guys think this game will be received by critics? My guess are scores in the 90s.

So it is! Excellente! The more costume options, the better, to my mind.

Oh, in that case I agree. Every fighting game should at least have lobbies with spectator mode and replays.

How are the advertisements where everyone is living?

In NA, I'm seeing a commercial every 15 minutes and if I didn't know better, I'd say this was a PS3 exclusive. And I'm really digging the reptile theme song by skrillex, which is in the commercial, it has me so excited for this game.

 

[Teknoman]

All i've seen are the Gamestop preorder commercials. I just hope the music volume is at a decent level in retail, and the X-Ray move bone crunches are alot louder/crunchier sounding. Far too quiet in the demo.

default audio is kind of low but you can at least adjust it via options.

 

[kunonabi]

Sinc the klassic costumes are all unlockable anyway would anybody want to trade a reptile code for my scorpion code?

 

[GotchaForce]

There are two achievements for getting stuff in the Krypt. If I use an unlock code for an outfit wonder if I'll be screwing myself out the achievements?

Has this been confirmed (konfirmed?) finally?

I doubt that will happen, you should be able to buy stuff still but it will be unlocked already.

I haven't really seen any tv ads. I did see a billboard though. This is in Chicago.

I hope the kontents of the krypt are randomized

It isn't. There's a decent sized list of what is where now.

 

[RS4-]

I hope the kontents of the krypt are randomized

They're not, or at least not the ones that have the fatalities/costumes; I used some thread on gamefaqs that had those specific ones listed and it worked.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I hope the kontents of the krypt are randomized

If the krypt is like the ones in the Ps2 games, you don't want it to be either. Theres a lot of lame shit in there you dont want to waste your koins (or w/e they're called in this) on.

How's the TE stick?

I'm a beginner to fighting gmaes so I pre-ordered the TE edition so I could get the stick.

When I played the demo, the PS3 Dual Shock felt pretty comfortable to me.

Should I stick with the TE or just grab the standard?

the stick is very limited so do you really want it or not, game is the same as regular inside the box.

a gaffer has claimed to unlock classic reptile through the krypt.

Spoiler

#7 tombstone was actually his alt

though, until we see a picture from some one with the game already no one has it unlocked/earned yet, if possible.

You also won't be able to just pick up the TE and play if you're not used to it. It's gonna take awhile for you get a feel for a stick if you're new. It'll probably hurt your game in the short run.

I am OBSESSED with this MK soundtrack. Uploading it now for the MK midnight.

 

[notworksafe]

Only one song needs to be on the MK soundtrack...and it never will be.

 

[low-G]

There's some real potential for high scores because of all the content. It seems a lot of reviewers can't really appreciate a fighting game in its purest form. (not saying MK doesn't have that too, but MK definitely has a lot of features other fighting games don't)

That's not always true. Not going to mention names, but a game reviewer I know who works at a major magazine (and has done at least a half-dozen reviews of fighters) is actually a decent fighting game player, but reviews the games with a focus on casual players, as hardcores don't use the magazine for reviews.

Custom soundtracks to the rescue

 

[The Lamonster]

Have there been any reviews yet?

 

[Lost Fragment]

So I hear you can pause during online matches? What is this I don't even

 

[Diablohead]

you can but the game keeps on playing.

 

[fernoca]

Embargoed until launch it seems.

And retro -costumes haven't been unlocked at the Krypt yet..false alarm!


EDIT:
And yeah, you can "pause" during many online games too; but like in MK; the action doesn't stop.

 

[Slamtastic]

You can bring up the menu online.

While your character sits there and your opponent beats you up.

 

[Dark Octave]

Should be the last boss music for every character in the game.

I wonder who made that song anyway and what they're doing nowadays.
