Don't destroy his dreams and hopes lol
I want the X-Men too and it would be a dick move not to have Wolverine or Magneto but taking the info that's been given by Neoxon and others it's better to be cautious about it.

This is the best course of action. Hold onto hope, but be cautious.

Interesting stuff. I would be interested in signing up for this service. I have yet to take part in a service like the one mentioned in your post. I think it would be neat to be able to use something like that to communicate feedback and get promotions for participating in closed betas.

If we stay cautious and the X-Men are not banned, it will be a nice surprise then.

I mean, we should still be cautious about expecting MvC4 to be real. Its probably a thing after so many rumours and sources, but we still dont have a 100% confirmation that its real. Only 2 more days!
 
My comment had more to do with thinking a lack of x-men would mean the game wouldn't sell well. Some people posting like that really don't get that the comic book landscape has changed not only in the comics, but because of Marvel's movies and shows. X-Men are a relic of nostalgia at this point (compared to the MCU and more popular comic characters, anyway).

Yeah other areas of the Marvel Universe are definitely more in the spotlight now. I still think Wolverine and Magneto are huge draws though and will help sell the game.

Unless they can't reasonably get the rights to them I think they should at least include those two.

Anyone else remember when people thought Spiderman wasn't going to be in MvC3 because Activision had the rights to him?

Exactly, though don't get your hopes up too high in case Capcom can't iron things out.

I know, being cautiously optimistic is the best option. At least there's always the DLC option

So I think I found something interesting. I was thinking of how much of a troll the marvelvscapcom4.com redirect was. Then my friend pointed out that the fact that Capcom hadn't registered Marvelvscapcom4.com yet probably meant it wasn't coming out. So I was thinking, well either A) they dropped the ball on registering the website (maybe they didn't want people to guess that it was coming out so didn't register it or just didn't think to do it yet?) or B) maybe they're trying to be edgy and just titling the new game as Marvel vs Capcom with no number.

So anyway, I type in marvelvscapcom.com into my browser. It's a blank page. So I do a whois on it and turns out it was registered YESTERDAY to "Adam Charles" of San Francisco. Who is this guy?

So I go to his Linked In and find some interesting stuff:



So he works for a Japanese ad company as a community manager and this company also happens to work with Marvel Comics. Interesting eh?

EDIT 1:
Some fighting game stuff that he's been involved in found on his linked in:



EDIT 2:
Looked into Adways and Prelaunch.me that he works for. The good news is that Adways launched Prelaunch.me and...

The (potentially) bad news is...


Not only is Adways Japanese and have a relationship with Marvel Comics, Capcom is also a client. However, everything suggests that Adways is primarily focused on the mobile market. That can be interpreted in a lot of ways, including some that would be disappointing if true. I hope at worst this is a mobile tie-in to a real game similar to what Injustice did.

I think the logical leap here between guy who has worked on pre-launch hype agency and agency that launches an additional, specific pre-registration program for mobile games says absolutely nothing about an iOS tie in or the platform of the title.

Y'all looking too hard into it.

I think he's referring to Inmolatus's post, not Skilletor's.

I don't think so. If he's still working there and they only deal with mobile games, why is there a logical leap to think that there's a mobile tie-in associated with MvC4?

I agree. I believe a Mobile tie-in with a console title can be done fantastically if thought out right. I'm honestly much much more curious to see if there is any real tie in or development with console <--> mobile interface for MvC.

I love seeing stuff like this!

Meh. If I can't beat the piss out of Scott Summers whats the point?
Click to expand...

I know, right? Before I had Scott Summers to beat up in Capcom fighters, I had to draw bruises on my Cyclops action figure's face to show where my other, cooler toys had beat him up. It was a waste of perfectly good marker ink that could have been avoided if I had a Cyclops to beat up in a videogame, sooner.

Thought the OG thread on this was at PSX.

I think if it's at PSX, it's PS4 exclusive. If it's revealed at Capcup, it'll be multiplatform.
