At this point the best case scenario is that the UMvC3 port would have some new content... Won't happen, but I'd be way more hyped about that than a 2vs2, ps4 exclusive, X-Menless MvC reboot.

I'd love if UMvC3 got a port and a balance patch. Might get me back into it, but chances are extremely unlikely.
 
I much prefer my comic characters to look like they actually would from the comics and not all like MK characters with different specials.

Yeah the Injustice costumes suck. But I appreciate how Capcom was experimenting with the cinematic style in SFV, hoping they perfect the balance

Oh wait I just rememberd MvC3 had intros! But, sort of, like, not really though. Cutesy things and sayings with no logic behind them. Then again, its a crossover where the characters have no history to banter over so its acceptable

I'm not even talking outfits.

Could you imagine NRS doing a character like Spiderman? Rocket Racoon? MODOK? Sentinel? (and on and on until I list every character in a capcom vs. game).
 
Dialogue, but MKX did that better.

At least there was good dialog that corresponded.
The Wesker and rocket raccoon being the stand out for me.

But yeah MKX did intros better. But on the same hand, they're usually skipped after the first time. So no reason to put much effort in the really.

I do hope outros are better. Wasn't a fan of how MVC3 did it.
 
Nice vid, Max. We've come a long way from 5%.

I'm surprised we've heard so little about the Capcom side of the roster.

At this point it seems as if this just might be an MCU fighting game lol. Team Ninja working on a MvC game?

What have we done???
 
Reboot
2v2
1 assist
Slower game play
More casual
No X men/FF characters
24 starting roster
3D arena fighter


This is turning out to be some monkey paw stuff if true.

You're talking about ability faithfulness and character diversity? Because not every character in MvC can jump 50 feet in the air but they all do it in game. But I agree when looking at the Injustice roster (of the first game at least) that there's barely any body type diversity or comic book 'wackiness'

Room for improvement

No x-men stung so bad you listed it twice.

The arena fighter came from this

Bounce Bounce Bounce = DoA = Team Ninja = Dissidia Arena Fighter. Nothing concrete, just theories
 
Imagine if all the celebrity VA's were just repurposed movie dialogue.

Doctor Strange says "I HAVE COME TO BARGAIN" to everyone.

I hope not. I just started Lego Avengers last night, the cutscenes are cute, but the "finishing" moves using the spliced movie audio sound sort of muffled and get drowned out by the music and other game audio.

I'd love to see the MCU Actor rumor being true, I can see it happening for a few actors like Diesel, Pratt, and Cumberbatch. Considering how getting X-Men TAS voice actors for the early Marvel titles was somewhat a miracle for the time, I can almost see them getting MCU actors as a modern day equivalent.
 
Hmm who from Dragons Dogma would be a good fit from the game... unfortunately the Arisen as a custom character doesn't really work, I think the guy with red shaggy hair was the "default" Arisen, but the fact that I'm not even sure about that goes to show how generic and forgettable that design was.

Mercedes had a sweet armor set and stood out slightly among the generally muted NPCs of the game, but she's derivative of Caska and doesn't have very interesting moves.

So I say... Julien! Cool full plate armor, can vary the costume with and without face mask, and best of all he's a mystic knight, which has a really cool move set that could translate well to being amped up to MvC levels. I can't think of many fighting game characters that use a mace and great shield.
 
NRS artists are garbage idk why you guys are still discussing it lol.

You guys think gaming side will hate this game when they find out it's tutorial doesn't make you a marvel god and the arcade mode is bring?

I was worried about MCU focus and no X-Men characters, but the new rumors talking about the actual game are just so much worse.

I miss when I was sad because RIP Wolverine. Now even having him wouldn't save this.

Fuck my life.

At least remaster Marvel 3 with a decent netcode, please.
 
Isn't voice acting much cheaper than actual acting? I mean, konami got patrick stewart for that castlevania game, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility if this is a big budget spectacle.
 
I love the insanity that some on this page have determined the game is going to be trash, when said game doesn't officially exist, hasn't been announced and nothing is known at all.

Fuck you Cacpcom! You screwed it up!

I'd imagine they'd just look like their movie counterparts (where applicable).

I personally find said aesthetic less appealing & wouldn't prefer it either, but movie-based merch moves so a lot others would obviously dig it.

EDIT: Oh you were also referring to their moves. Yeah, MK still animates kinda stiffly, even though they've long moved past using real live actors trying to perform fantastical actions/poses.
 
My hope is that this reboot is a set up for larger MvC titles in the future. Reboot MVC2 ends up having 3v3 combat back.

No matter what happens I will accept the game, buy it/play it and look towards the future. These games are very rare and precious... their existence is a miracle. I don't want to take them for granted.

Yes, obviously, you sacrifice authenticity for universal gameplay elements.

I mean literal gameplay styles. Look at Spidey's mobility. Look at Modok. Look at Rocket. Look at Dormammu. Look at Nova. They all play and handle differently. NRS characters all feel the same, animate similarly, and, to me, just don't feel like I'm controlling the comic characters.

Flash and Superman feel the same. Wonder Woman and Grundy. They all have similar animations, movement, and normals. And all of those feel like a holdover from MK.
 
I guess if there's only 12 characters per side and we know it's MCU-focused, it's less likely there will be any quirky roster picks, making it easier to predict the Marvel side somewhat:

Iron Man
Captain America
Hulk
Thor
Black Widow
Groot
Ant-Man
Star-Lord (if we are to believe Eurogamer saying that there will be more GotG characters)
Dr. Strange
Spider-Man
Black Panther
Captain Marvel

...that's already 12, and still leaving out many Avengers, villains, key supporting characters and all possible TV characters.

Prepare for the salt if this is how it's going to go.

Enzo, update the list to acknowledge this game is the new Ehrgeiz.

Yeah if its a soft reboot i can definitely see the sequel including all the characters form previous and just building, which would be awesome. Will be buying all the DLC too.
