What would be pretty cool, imo, is if they removed SF characters from the Capcom side to match the no xmen characters. Since that's where it all started.

That would leave room on both sides of the roster for new representation.
Just keep Akuma. Scrap every other SF character for all I care.
 
You would think Capcom of all developers know the trouble it causes when you start using likeness rights of actors in a video game.

Sure fire way this game will never go back on sale once certain actor's contracts are up.

Unless there are loopholes , they had to have learned their lesson right? Or maybe this might be Sony co-developed and published. then that would mean Sony would be able to re-release it.
 
No Capcom is a dealbreaker. I was thinking that I'd be even more excited for a proper Capcom 3v3 fighter that pulls from all their history, with no Marvel altogether. If this is just a bunch of Marvel characters, half of whom I don't care about, and no X-Men? Nah, I'll just play UvMC3 instead and play Injustice 2 (a totally different game, I know) for my superhero fix.

Actually, this game is sounding worse and worse. I can deal with 2v2 + assists, but there is a reason that I play 2 and 3 all the time, but I only pop in the original MvC occasionally. But a game where Marvel fighters overshadow Capcom fighters? A game with no Capcom fighters? A game with no Capcom fighters OR X-Men? Pure shite.

In that case, just give me a UvMC3 port to PS4 so I can buy that game a third time, and I'm good.
 
Are you guys seriously still entertaining the idea there is no Capcom? Lemme put ur mind at ease - Capcom is in this thing. Good lord.

Well with all these clauses going around of what characters can be used and the different gameplay anything goes. Do you know who is developing this thing internally is it eightings by any chance?

I'm pretty sure it'll have Capcom characters, especially if the game started life as another Vs. game. Relax, guys.
 
If Iron Galaxy is really doing a UMvC3 port then I will just declare that this deal happened when Dave Lang (IG) and John Vignocchi (then Disney) were super drunk on a Giant Bomb stream like two years ago.

No word on the guys handling principal development.

As for the gameplay changes, having 2 playable + an assist isn't unheard of from the Marvel series. And no one is saying that's what we are getting here, but there are some healthy reasons to go that route.

Yeah one would hope that Marvel/Disney has already planned for the day certain actors are no longer in the MCU and have some sort of likeness contract in place for toys, games, etc....

If they do go the actor likeness route though- that sort of makes me believe Iron Galaxy could be the dev. Lots of those guys are former Midway/NRS team members. Although seeing Capcom characters in a more "realistic" style.... ugh.....
 
Lots of folks freaking out about nothing. People were only discussing the possibility of a only Marvel fighter, MSH2, or whatever. Nothing's concrete until Capcom or Marvel says anything specifically about the game, if its even being made or not, or the events in question.
 
My biggest fear with these MCU rumors is that the characters will be wearing their movie costumes. Those costumes work in a live action setting, but they’d look like trash in a series as historically cartoony and over-the-top as Marvel vs. Capcom. I can’t even imagine Viewtiful Joe or Phoenix Wright up against the MCU characters.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has my absolutely ideal versions of the Marvel characters (regarding appearance, voice, and overall characterization), so any sort of deviation is going to feel like a downgrade to me. MvC3 nailed the aesthetics.

The thing is, people love "mahvel" and to hardcore fans, Mahvel goes all the way back to Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes, there is a big chunk of fans who would welcome a new Marvel only fighting game with arms wide open, me included.

That said, i still preffer n MVC.
 
Wow, this thread is huge.

I just gotta say, Groot wouldn't be just Groot, right? It'd be Groot with Rocket clinging on him. Right? Right?

Well, it could piss off fans if they demoted Rocket from fully playable to tandem with groot, but before Rocket was revealed in MVC3, it's what most people wanted.
 
I'm pretty sure it'll have Capcom characters, especially if the game started life as another Vs. game. Relax, guys.

I'd hope so, but I'm about ready to believe any excitement-dampening news that comes out for some reason.

I can't remember but wasn't Jubilee playable in MvC2?

Nope. She was only an assist character in the first MvC.

Hey, maybe we can get Wondra in the game under the "No Mutants Allowed" ban!

It can still work with movie costumes, as they are still kind cartoony in aesthetics. Like i mentioned earlier it would be a shame if they try to mimic injustice with its drab style because they think it will sell. Capcom obviously being involved wouldn't handle it that way but if Marvel gets there say on art style then it would go that route.
 
Sorry if I'm late with this, but typing marvelvscapcom4.com leads to Capcom's site. I know the marvelvscapcom domain thing was noted here, but I wasn't sure if the MvC4 part was also mentioned.

MCU costumes have appeared in a few games already, and I don't think they look good in any of them. I much prefer the traditional comic looks.

I don't think Marvel is ever going to re-acknowledge the EMH/Spectactular so I long since accepted whatever downgrade we get, voice actor wise.

Costumes I suppose what matters is the artstyle. If they stylize it, we should be fine.
 
May i remind you guys how it went the last time Capcom made a crossovers of only characters made by themselves?

Yeah but this was a cash-in, all they had to do was reuse sprites. The game you really should mention is capcom fighting evolution but that game got canceled :(

Nice catch. Pretty sure we're all but confirmed by Capcom at this point. Very excited for the reveal. :)

yeah i found that out yesterday but we confirmed it was held by someone in the FGC who bought the domain and just rerouted it to capcom website.

I don't think this has anything to do with whether or not they do a much better job of this in the future. It was a 2v2 with no tags and very little representation of IPs.

If they come back with a 3v3 tag, 32-36 character celebration of their IPs, that's another thing, and I think that people would absolutely play that.

no she was an assist in MvC1 tho
Oh, that's what I remember then.
 
Except those comic book designs have come closer to the MCU designs as of late.
Yes, but MvC3 didn't necessarily use the latest comic designs for the sake of it. Characters like Iron Fist and Magneto weren't as up to date as possible because their classic costumes were far more memorable. We even got the fictitious CotA Sentinel. I'd prefer that approach.

They used Magneto's classic costume even though I don't think he's used that for a long time in the comics (AFAIK)
