So that saves Onimusha 5 for E3 with release in the fall.

Sounds good to me.

Onimusha 4, you mean.

I just like to pretend DoD doesn't exist.

 

[WinFonda]

Really glad this is using the MT framework engine. Didn't like Street Fighter IV's graphics much. I am hyped.

 

[Demirichris]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

 

[SolarPowered]

Holy crap Strider better fuckin' stay in the series.

 

[Father_Brain]

Why is Spider-Man completely absent from all the promos? Capcom does have the rights to use him in this game, don't they?

 

[andymcc]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

:lol

 

[MrDaravon]

It's using the MT Framework engine. There is no port of MT Framework to Wii. Now go away.

I was going to post this, but it apparently doesn't matter to him anymore :lol

 

[Hex]

question:
does anyone actually like Morrigan?

Yes.

 

[spindashing]

It wouldn't be Marvel without Spider-man. =[ I'm sure they're just teasing his eventual reveal.

 

[Piano]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

On the contrary, I think it looks fantastic.

 

[captmcblack]

They've GOT to have Strider.

And if they make that character model, they could make a new game for him too, right?

 

[LiK]

Onimusha 4, you mean.

I just like to pretend DoD doesn't exist.

Indeed, give me Jean Reno in a fighting game and I will be pleased

 

[Chavelo]

He did.

Also...
ALL OVER MY FACE! OVER MY FACE! SKEEE-SKEE-SKEEE!

This... THIS is gonna make me get a PS3 and a stick. Let's do this!

 

[SolarPowered]

That's what I'm thinking. This game is laying the foundation for the next game to be absolutely crazy.

I'd rather have a small roster at first.

It almost guarantees sequels.

 

[Yoboman]

Why is Spider-Man completely absent from all the promos? Capcom does have the rights to use him in this game, don't they?

So people can ask "where's spiderman?" and Capcom can say "no comment *smirk*"

 

[LowParry]

Okay. Now I am excited.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Hmm, Hulk has a "I just came" expression. Can't unsee it.

 

[spindashing]

They've GOT to have Strider.

And if they make that character model, they could make a new game for him too, right?

FUCK. WE CAN ONLY HOPE. The new game will put new interest on Strider, but I have a feeling the world will end before we get a new Strider game...

 

[vg260]

This makes me nervous. Spidey is the only character I definitely want. Everything else is gravy. It's weird he's not featured in this promo. But I they're probably going to do the slow character reveal tease style like SFIV and Iron Man has the hype right now.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

:lol FANTASTIC joke post.

 

[No_Style]

I was going to post this, but it apparently doesn't matter to him anymore :lol

They can still see us from beyond the veil.



I just hope this version of MT Framework runs and looks consistent across both platforms. It struggled to do that in the past.

 

[SolarPowered]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

It looks good.

 

[evil ways]

On the contrary, I think it looks fantastic.

The group shot looks awesome but those separate shots, especially Wolverine one, look like crap, the Rob Liefield school of shitty comic book drawing, type of crap.

 

[spindashing]

Hmm, Hulk has a "I just came" expression. Can't unsee it.

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of

Just 'shop some glasses on him.

 

[NeonZ]

30+ characters? I feared this would happen... It's a nice number, but still a downgrade from the last game, something annoyingly common in franchise transitions this gen.

 

[jett]

Awesome line-up

SERIOUSLY THERE IS NO GODDAMN REASON FOR THERE NOT TO BE A WII VERSION

YOU ALREADY HAVE A DAMN VERSUS FIGHTING ENGINE FOR IT

THE TRAILER SHOWS YOU'RE EVEN USING SOME OF THE SAME ANIMATIONS

God I fucking hate this stupid generation

:lol

 

[Host Samurai]

Damn!!! I wanted 50+ characters. When you combine the Marvel and Capcom universes you need a bigger roster than a normal fighter and yea FUCK BALANCE!!!!. 30 characters is not enough imo and they put in the wrong RE character. Needs also some more obscure characters like Harmen Smith (the Killer7), Gene, Battle Circuit cast, Haggar and maybe some Slam Masters characters. OOOOOOHHHH and Nemesis as a boss

 

[ZeoVGM]

It's not like they showed Mega Man either. No worries.

 

[Father_Brain]

This is reportedly not true. But it's still a moot point either way.

 

[Oxymoron]

I will literally not buy this game if Kitty Pryde isn't in it.

 

[PhatSaqs]

30 viable characters is way more than what's currently in MvC2 :lol

Said with fingers crossed of course.

 

[h3ro]

Needs more shotos.

 

[spindashing]

Man, that official art is not good...what the hell. Looks so American.

 

[LiK]

They prolly have 30 more characters in their pockets.

 

[No_Style]

Yes, it's unfortunate that there isn't some magical 2-D sprites to 3-D models converter.

 

[LowParry]

30 viable characters is way more than what's currently in MvC2 :lol

Said with fingers crossed of course.

I was just about to say, out of all of the MvsC2 crew, who uses who again? 30+ is plenty.

Okay, this shit needs to stop before the thread gets full with it.

This is a sequel to a 10 year old game using an engine that hasn't even been used in a fighting game yet, as far as I know. It would take a LOT more work to do 50+ characters. You do realize MvC1 didn't have 50+, right? MvC2 only did because they reused tons from the first.

If MvC4 happens, you'll see a big boost in characters. But you need to understand how game development works. The release date is spring 2011 and 30-40 characters is due to that time frame. If they did 50+, you wouldn't see the game for a longer period of time.

 

[Demirichris]

Ok I take back my comment about the official art looking bad.

Looks like they had a Marvel artist do one (don't like that one, especially his take on the capcom dudes) and a capcom piece (which I think looks great!)

 

[vg260]

It's not like they showed Mega Man either. No worries.

I dunno, I just saw that pic with a guess of who the silhouettes are and it doesn't look like there's one for Spidey. It would be unfathomable if they came out with this with no Spidey. There's no chance Acitvision's got him tied up right? The fighting game rights are separate, correct?

 

[Peff]

Yeah, the character thing sounds a bit like SSFIV's "8 new characters". We'll see.

EDIT: They've mentioned the popular characters will return, I think Spidey is a lock.

 

[palpabl_purpura]

The ??? is Thanos

 

[SolarPowered]

They've GOT to have Strider.

And if they make that character model, they could make a new game for him too, right?

You poor bastard...

Spoiler

I only wish.

 

[gutter_trash]

no Spidey = no buy

 

[Piano]

oh man I hope Dan is in the game

 

[VaLiancY]

Oh god, Shinkiro and Ikeno art. It gets better with every passing hour.

 

[MechDX]

Disney owns Marvel, not the other way around.

I know that but I believe Disney would do it just to show their commitment to pushing the Marvel license.

Would also be cool as shit for Tron to have a light cycle super move! He jumps off screen then comes hurling at the opponent in the cycle.

MAHVELLLLL BABAY!!!

 

[Urban Scholar]

Can I get permission to freak out here?! don't think I ever dealt with this much game hype before

 

[gutter_trash]

oh man I hope Dan is in the game

yeah, a head pallet swap taking up a character slot.. yeah

 

[LiK]

Love them pimping Iron Man cuz of the movie.

Hit the nail right on the head. 30+ characters is enough if you think about it. Do you really really want to sit through the character select screen for an hour trying to select a character? This isn't MUGEN, come on.
