Rumor Mill (TAKE WITH GRAIN OF SALT): Marvel vs Capcom 4 revealing at PSX/Capcom Cup

Jesus marvel just sell the xmen franchise for a bazillion dollars and stop the dick moves on those poor mutants.

That's exactly why Marvel doesn't do X-Men/Fantastic Four. They sold the (movie) license to Fox, and there seems to have been a falling out between them, and Fox is going to keep holding the properties hostage and not give Marvel any sort of creative control over them, so Marvel in turn decided to shut down promoting the Fox-held properties by not having them in their non-movie media - such as games.
 
I'm starting to think the VS game being hinted at is CVS3. The only real official material we have to go by is the Akumer trailer and Ono's comment.

SFV's graphics wouldn't be suitable for MVC, and it would be the perfect opportunity to recycle SFV's assets. Capcom and SNK have also been leveraging their characters in other ip recently.
You're the most delusional person here

There's no VS game being hinted at, MvC4 is being hinted at.

I like Mayday too.
 
There is no market to sell that game to. SNK is now a hardcore only brand in the West.

I mean, there's no market for Darkstalkers but Ono obviously wanted/wants it to happen. Whatever this ends up being, it won't be CvS but not because of marketability. Capcom has an uphill climb as far as trust regardless of what brand they collaborate with next, but I just don't see SNK showing the KoF graphics patch at the same event Capcom shows what would undoubtedly be better looking versions of KoF characters in a crossover.

Personally I'd love a CvS3, not because I liked CvS2 but because in my mind SNK would handle the presentation, art, character design, etc and leave Capcom to what they're good at.

And this is something I will never understand, how did SNK manage to have a big impact in LA?

Amazing character designs that didn't always default to egregious stereotypes. Usually cheaper to play because the hardware was old.
 
Jeeeeesus that image looks clean/smooth

SFV looks nice enough on PS4 besides shadows but dang. Looks like a CGI target render lol

sfv is a good looking ass game. Besides shit like kens's face, shit has a fantastic artstyle, that makes everyone look like a real life toy, shits nuts. Fighting games this gen have been A+ on the art styles dude.

One very underrated aspect of SF5 are the animations. Try going into training mode and watch the full animations for characters like Ken, Vega, Cammy etc. Ken in particular is just beautifully animated.
 
You've been convinced that the game isn't happening since like page 1, lol. Pretty sure you're just not going to see things how others do.
well he's making up theories to justify his ideas and they just don't mesh with reality, especially not with how capcom does stuff. people aren't making 4th dimensional chess moves by putting Yipes on a mic, they are putting a well known color commentator in a color commentary role. a curleh mustache being announced at undefeated isn't a sign of a new game, it's angelic asking yipes to lend a big name regional team event at the one last big umvc3 event that has people from all regions of the country attending.

the most obvious answer here is that a game is getting announced but it isn't mvc4. that's not how capcom does their renewal of IPs. they bring back an older title to test the waters for sales and see how it does. if that title does well, then they bring back the IP.

a umvc3 port for ps4 has been in the rumor mill for months and months, that just makes more sense to be announced here to test the waters like hdr and ds resurrection and other titles were for their IP.

While I agree with the commentator and curleh mustache points being silly, what about the insiders teasing stuff?

what insiders? ryce has said its very unlikely, mr wizard didn't post anything until after this thread was made, the combofiend thing came from a screenshot of a phone chat out of nowhere, and stuff like lupinko and max is just people riding the coattails of a rumor in case it happens to be true. hell, max's video says there's a 5% chance of it happening.

I think it'd be incredibly underwhelming to just announce an HD port on a big stage at a major FG tournament rather than a full new game.

welcome to capcom's marketing strategy

Point taken. We'll see. An UMVC3 port with updated netcode would actually be welcomed with open arms from me.

I honestly believe Capcom is looking to expand Capcom Cup, so adding a new title makes sense to me.
 
I really don't know why people think CvSnk will ever happen again. Capcom barely even produces new games any more, especially not fighting games. Darkstalkers won't even get made.

i should also clarify: would i like mvc4 to be announced? of course i would. hell if it was exclusive, i'd get a ps4 for it. will it be announced eventually? i'm certain it will be, but i just don't see it happening yet.
 
I still say asset quality kind of hurts the game. There's some parts that just don't look right compared to others. Kens face being one of the biggest examples.
The quality can be a bit inconsistent particularly with the original characters.

You have Ken who's face really looks derpy when you zoom in, then you have Chun-Li who looks heavenly.

You have Zangief who's face just looks a bit ... off for me then you have Birdie who again looks great.
 
I'll gladly 100% take a UMvC3 port. Dont even have to balance anything just remove all the glitches. And remove Morrigans meter gain during astral vision, chalk it up as a 'bug'

Me too, in fact if no X-Men and 2v2 is true, I'd much rather have UMvC3 remaster over monkey's-paw-MvC4.

If all we see is an MvC remaster this weekend you can pretty much bank that MvC4 is in the works anyway.

It has?
 
You should quote that picture.

Also it's a modded texture so not really indicative of in-game quality. Does look mighty cool though.

Done, thanks.

And yeah I know, I play SFV on PC and looks gorgeous, but I got hyped thinking that if a mod looks that good, a real Marvel Capcom game could look like that.
 
we need Namor if Blakc Panther is in.

i'll make it a mission to put Namor on Point with any BP team

I'll waste all meter possible to tag him in
 
The only xmen I'd be bummed about not seeing is wolverine and cyclops. Cyclops will very likely not show up yet again which is wack. But wolverine is like a staple of this franchise. Plz marvel.

Ms. Marvel would be cool. Black Panther too for sure.

Not really aware of any recent Capcom characters tbh

Namor is another special case, and for this one we actually have a statement from Marvel about his game rights not being with Marvel, and several developers coming out saying that they can't use him.
It seems like it only encompasses Namor himself (and possibly Namora and Namorita since they also have his name in theirs, but they're also obscure so who the fuck knows), since Attuma and Tigershark who are his classic villains have appeared in games more recently.

Shinobi? Sneaker? Both from what I hear from others are accurate when reporting info. Ryce also said he's feeling pretty confident now.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=225508173&postcount=2775

And I don't understand how you just completely dismiss Lupinko when he's leaked stuff in the past and was pretty much 100% correct on all of it. I understand being a bit skeptical of him right now (I am too) but to completely write him off as "riding coattails"? I don't agree given the current information. Did he ever do this with info that turned out to be false? And yeah, Max as a potential supporting point towards this whole thing being true is dumb. Its pretty obvious he doesn't know much more than anyone else in this thread going off his posts and his video.

Overall, I'm not even saying all of this necessarily points to MvC 4 being a definite or possible thing. Like many others, I think the game getting announced so soon is weird as hell and unlikely. I just also think that something is going on. Honestly, I'd personally prefer just a PS4 port of UMvC 3 and it might even be just that going off of how Capcom usually does things but the fact that we have multiple sources name dropping or teasing 4 specifically with no mention of a port kind of goes against that at the moment. I just want to know what has you so convinced absolutely nothing is happening given the current circumstances. I'd love to be convinced like you are to avoid possible (and likely imo) disappointment this coming Saturday. Maybe its just a feeling, idk.

Also, I recall that OsirisBlack straight-up said that he heard that this game was coming, but wasn't sure if it'd be revealed this weekend.

Obviously nothing is certain right now, but there's enough smoke to at least consider the possibility.
 
Would ESPN even air that? That would basically be a huge free ad.

While I think the chance of MvC4 are basically between 0 and .001%, I will point out ESPN and Marvel are both owned by Disney, so it's a free ad for a product they may co-own, lol.
