Polygon: The Marvel Games team knows you want a new Marvel vs. Capcom

Now is the perfect cultural climate for that game to be massive. They need to strike while the marvel movie universe iron is hot.
 
I wouldn't object to that at all. Either him or Stan Lee (them not getting Stan as the MvC3/UMvC3 announcer was a huge missed opportunity in my eyes).

Not really sure if it's due to being so busy which would have prevent such from happening. Thinking about that now, that is indeed a missed opportunity.
 
Again, that's a common misconception. Capcom was on-track to release Street Fighter V in 2018 without Sony's help. Sony only stepped in to speed up the process since they wanted an in with eSports for the PS4. All things considered, Capcom's doing okay financially. The problem is that the execs play things too safe for their own good.
Huh, I didn't know that. I was very skeptical about the whole "If Sony wasn't involved, we wouldn't be making this game" thing for a while but I saw it repeated so many times that I started to believe it. Hopefully Capcom doesn't make that mistake again.
 
I feel like the only "essential" F4 and X-Men characters they need to have in terms of legacy are Doom, Magneto, and Wolverine. That said, again, if they don't have any characters from those franchises and just use MCU stuff...I'd be fine with that. I rather them work under that limitation than not get MvC4 at all. Besides, there's tons of other great characters that could be used.
Agreed. While Capcom would probably be afraid of being blamed for the lost Fox characters (hell, it even put me off from wanting MvC4 in the near future for a bit), I'd say that they should go for it. If Angry Joe was willing to put in the research about how Capcom was doing updates for Street Fighter V, I'm sure he could help educate the others on what happened to Wolverine/Deadpool/Magneto/Doctor Doom/etc. in MvC4.
 
Just give me a follow up to children of the atom & marvel super heroes with a rooster not determined by the current & upcoming MCU phase
 
I haven't heard about this Marvel Telltale game.
It's supposed to be out next year. And word through the grapevine has it that it'll be for the Guardians of the Galaxy (not sure about the validity of the rumor, but there were mentions of a survey).

You might be disappointed.

That's how Marvel determined a large majority of it's line up in MvC3. From what I've heard Capcom had a hard time even getting Shuma.

Yeah, it was super weird that we didn't get Thanos, considering.

Also, maybe if there's a MvC4 they'll try to cross promote it by adding in that Proton Cannon Easter egg that we've all been dying to see.

AHHH OMG!!!!

Honestly though I'd rather they just keep updating Marvel 3 with paid DLC and balance patches or something. I know it won't happen, but Marvel 3 plays perfectly right now (Zero, Vergil, Doom, Morrigan, Hsien-Ko, Jill, and Phoenix Wright aside)

Either way, they have to have classic Venom, none of that secret agent or alien crap. As well as THIS GUY FOR MARVEL 4

I still remember the bickering between members on the Capcom forums for Phoenix Wright, X, and Gene being playable back in high school. Good times. If Marvel 4 happens I'd love to see all three of them in.
 
Sorry if this has been covered over the last 250+ posts but isn't Marvel banning game developers from using X-Men characters in future games, meaning that a new MvC game would be missing quite a few mainstays?
 
ok so if they actually ban the X-Men and F4 that would be real shitty

but we are going to need clones for wolverine, magneto, storm, doom and the robot because it ain't mahvel without them

Black Panther can have Wolverine's move set. He has claws and I can see him doing dive kicks and shit.

Loki can have Doom's move set because fuck you. He can shoot PLASMA BEAMS out of his stick thing from Avengers.

Scarlet Witch can have Magneto's move set. Like father, like daughter. If she's off limits, Vision would fit nicely here as well.

Sentinel would become Hulkbuster. Easy. Hyper Ironman Force.

Storm is a tough one. She also has a great and iconic moveset, but I don't know who it would translate to well. Maybe Captain Marvel? Wasp?

Yeah, but I still argue we'd see the super popular characters (Magneto, Wolverine, and Deadpool). I wouldn't expect to see X-23, Storm, etc.

Neither Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver are Mangeto's kids, anymore. As for Vision, he may be a better fit for Cyclops' moveset. Sentinel's moveset would be better for Groot, & Captain Marvel would be better fit for Rogue's moveset.

Yeah, I already carried over that post into this thread. If Capcom is willing to roll with the ban remains to be seen.

Oh those days were pretty great to go through. Had some great users and some users that got all salty. These days, the forums aren't as active as they use to sadly.
 
There's no way they won't have at least Wolverine. He's the only character that has been in every single Marvel fighting game by Capcom. Not even Ryu is in all of them.

Wolverine hasn't been featured in a new Marvel game for a year now. As stated earlier, Marvel Entertainment doesn't really care about legacy.

I dunno man, the only reason the whole xmen/FF fiasco is happening is because the ex-owner of Marvel hates the Fox movies and doesn't want to support them. If I remember correctly that is.

They've already confirmed a bunch of X-Men characters for that terrible mobile fighting game apparently.

Contest of Champions was made before the ban was enacted. In fact, from the looks of it, Contest of Champions was the cut-off point. Every game made afterwards was X-Men/F4-free.
 
Maaaaaaaan

I know this is unpopular but I don't want a versus Capcom game. I want a full on Marvel fighter that's not quite as fast and features a camera that zooms out instead of panning up.

At this point, I don't care if it's Marvel Super Heroes 2 or Marvel vs. Capcom 4. Though while the casuals may want the former more, the competitive scene would definitely go for the latter.

Sony

I'd give it 80/20 for
Then maybe I'm not optimistic enough. Maybe you heard something from the inside about it *wink*?
 
It's a great update. Still don't get why they released it 9 months later MvC3 came out. If they just waited 3 months, nobody would have felt gypped at the update.

And we would have gotten more characters. They had to cut out like 4 (EDIT: 8!) more to make the holiday release Capcom was pushing.

I would absolutely love an updated port of UMvC3. I would honestly rather they release another update to that game to fix stuff like the terrible UI (health bars) and the button-mashing for supers. Maybe tweak the game systems some more, maybe add some new characters (more females, please).

Improved Netcode.

That would be much better IMO than starting from scratch with half the roster - which will never please anyone - and the potential for a worse game all-around.

So strange that Tatsunoko v Capcom only got a Wii release. Makes no sense at all.

This is the game I really want on PS4. I have it on Wii but good netcode and HD textures/res is all it really needs to be amazing again. I always thought it was better than MvC3.

I know there are licensing issues but it would be a real shame if this game was completely lost to time on such an ill-fitting console.

Actually, Marvel gave Capcom that time-frame since they wanted early 2012 open for the cancelled tie-in game for the Avengers movie. Capcom would have made UMvC3's content DLC as well, but the tsunami in Japan at the time messed up their schedule.
 
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/aug/09/niitsuma-wanted-58-characters-ultimate-marvel-vs-capcom-3/

Johnz sent over a translation by CAW Evolution of a recent interview 4Gamer.net did with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's producer, Ryota Niitsuma. There aren't a ton of new details here, but here's a rundown regardless.

• Initially, the plan was to include 58 characters in UMvC3 in order to surpass Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but due to scheduling this was an impossibility. For those of you keeping score at home, UMvC3 will have 50 characters in it, if you include Shuma and Jill as DLC.

• The translator's impression from the article is that the higher-ups wanted this out by the end of the year (for Christmas), and Niitsuma and his team had to change their plans to accommodate this.

Here's the relevant sadness.
 
Please no. Not unless it gets rid of the ridiculous OP characters like 3 had. It just killed any enjoyment I had. The almost 100% combos didn't help either.

Maybe I've just outgrown those types of fighters.
