Activision has the Marvel License atm iirc

what makes you think they have it this gen, MvC2's XBLA/PSN release didn't change the source code it just ran it in an emulator that allowed people to assume the roles of player one and player two online. Nothing was added or changed and capcom said the licenses were the reason

Activision has the license for certain genres/characters. Fighting games are apparently not part of that.

 

[TreIII]

I am curious to see what designs they use for this game for Marvel. A lot of them are still the same, but certain characters have changed enough that it would be weird to see them play in a MvC2 style. Namely Magneto, last time I checked he actually kind of looks like an old man now, not a buff guy with long white hair. Be kind of weird to see him do some of those kicks he does in MvC2.

I am sure either way there will be DLC with early 90's/Jim Lee style designs as that is what many people are familiar with.

I hope they get some of the old voice cast ESPECIALLY Cal Dodd as Wolverine.

Character changes would indeed be interesting to see, considering the likes of Rogue have undergone vast changes since last time.

And hopefully they can get Dodd back. According to Wiki, at least, it's only been 5 years since he last had a reprise of Wolvie back in the Imperfects.

 

[Sapiens]

Can't wait to see what Capcom does with the Marvel characters.

IMO, Jim Lee designs+Capcom artwork defined what the X-men should look like for me.

Activision not being relevant to this discussion has been gone over for years.

It is probably Marvel being the "problem" with updating MVC2. EA had already given up the license. Capcom got MVC2 at a low price during that time. Today Marvel has a better position and it is not worth it to Capcom to cut a new deal on the 10 year old game they are selling for cheap.

as long as I can use Mega Man, I think I'll be fine.

Jim Lee is locked down pretty heavily by DC right now, but it would be easy enough for "inspired" designs to be used.

We all know that it will be manga Wolverine that brings the pain

I'd say he's locked down since he was recently promoted to Co-Publisher of DC.

 

[KAL2006]

I know people will disagree, but I hope they tone the game down the game. For me MvC2 was a bit too fast, flashy and over the top. I am not saying make it like Street Fighter, but tone is down a bit more. Also I hope they go back to teams of 2 instead of 3.

Have you played Tatsunoko vs Capcom?

 

[EYEL1NER]

MvC3 released exclusively for the Dreamcast! Full 480p Widescreen resolution!

HAHA! Best news ever!

 

[KAL2006]

Have you played Tatsunoko vs Capcom?

No, because I am not interested in the Tatsunoko cast. Plus the Wii is in the living room and not my own room (I prefer to play games in my own room).

 

[Caspel]

haha, this would please me =)

Ah, it's pretty much what you describe as wanting from MvsC3.

 

[NeonZ]

They can use the actual Jim Lee designs if they wish to do so, without his participation. Marvel recently had an X-Men comic (X-Men Forever) that used the Jim Lee designs for the first few issues. However, I don't think they'll use them here. Those designs aren't used in any of Marvel's merchandising these days, including games.

This actually had me very worried. Think if the game had the Wolverine Origins Dealpool, or Wolverine. Imagine if they had Toby Macguire as Spiderman. Some would translate quite well, like Stan Winston's Iron Man from the movie. I really hope they go in the same artistic/creative direction as the previous games, and not any 'hyper realism' bullshit.

It's pretty hard to fuck up MVC3, lets just pray they stick with Jim Lee designs.

 

[Platy]

Oh god ... please not let the x-men use the generic black suit from the movies/ultimate ... they look cool in the movies ... but i want to know what each character are just by taking a quick look at the screen .... and same clouths for everyone don't help this =P

 

[VaLiancY]

As long as I get a Wolverine with a wife beater and jeans - I'm good.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

The most recognizable Jim Lee designs are Cyclops and Magneto, followed by Psylocke, Rogue and Gambit, with either of them you can go a bit more modern and still have a very recognizable character. In the later games they just used the current design for the "new characters" (Marrow had her Joe Mad design, Cable) as they showed up, but I'm sure each character will be recognizable based on his/her silhouette, Capcom is good at that

Wolverine has mostly stayed the same, he wont be a problem

 

[Choppasmith]

Speaking of artwork, I really hope regardless of the "engine" we see Shinkiro doing the art rather than Ikeno.

i do not follow marvel's full merchandising catalog but I figure the Astonishing costumes are most likely to be used for those characters.

i'll buy ten

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I don't want someone using Jim Lee designs. If we do get "Jim Lee" artwork, then we better get Jim Fuckin' Lee.

I would MUCH rather have someone draw whole new character portraits for MvC3. Preferably Immonen or someone at Capcom.

The costumes are one of the main reasons im hoping 3d. The standard costumes would be nice, but if someone like havok were playable, i would love to see him im x-factor outfit. The same with a agent-x outfit for deadpool and ben reilly's spider-man outfit for alternate spidey costume.

As for manga Wolverine, are you refering to the nihei version?

 

[SuperAngelo64]

This ^

In my opinion the Marvel characters have never looked better since their MvC2 portraits, especially the chicks.

Crazy marlvel/capcom characters TOTALY don't fit shinkiro's style

 

[Choppasmith]

Well all things considered, while I agree with that part about crazy characters, he did surprisingly well with them in TvC. And I think he did a tremendous job with the Tatsunoko heroes. I'd love to see some more epic Shinkiro Marvel artwork like he did here

What? Shinkiro art fits perfectly with Marvel, Kinu and Ikeno art are the ones that made Marvel characters look all animeish.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I liked Bengus/CMRK's Marvel stuff

 

[Father_Brain]

:lol Leaks understandably get a disproportionate amount of attention, and they have sprung from Capcom events in the past. But the thing about NDAs is this: they actually do work, more often than not.

 

[Azure Dream]

Surely if this was real, then SOMEONE would've leaked SOMETHING by now? Right?

Companies are getting very good about chasing down those "someones" and, through legal action, pressure on their employers, or shutting them out of all future corporate access that may be necessary to their jobs, making them regret it.

Spoiler

inb4 someone mentions Sonic 4 like they're making a point.

 

[Choppasmith]

No one's outright denied it either

 

[Briarios]

Just a note -- AgentM (Ryan Penagos), the Marvel editor that was at Captivate is now headed to C2E2 ... which makes me really think there is a chance we'll hear something tomorrow.

I don't think this means anything more than that Captivate is mostly over, and that a Marvel editor is heading off to a convention where Marvel has a major presence. Besides, if "ZOMG seeeekrit" were going to be unveiled at C2E2, I think that he'd be hinting more clearly at that. And in fact, Penagos specifically said that it "will be revealed next week," not this weekend.

If I'm wrong, well, I'll eat crow very soon.

 

[MrBeggar]

it'd be nice if they had this as an easter egg for MVC3.. just like how we get that
episode of the crap Street Fighter TV series in Double Impact

I've always loved the look of the character, but never really liked the man behind the mask. His inclusion as a Secret Avenger has certainly made that roster very interesting.

 

[Mermandala]

I want to see a Capcomized MODOK.

 

[Nemesis_]

They've probably just decided to add Iron Man into Lost Planet 2 or something. :lol

As I've said before, I'm not getting my hopes up

So when they do announce it, I can go batshit insane!

Edit: Very skeptical of that though. MvC3 is a given, but DvC? Would be really really surprised.

So it's probably true : /

I think it's a fun concept.

Beast (Beauty and the Beast) vs. Blanka
Simba vs. Amaterasu
Mickey vs. Arthur

If they bring in the obscure capcom chracters to balance with the wackey disney characters, it could be really great.

I'd actually be more interested in the latter. Just think, technically, they could use Kingdom Hearts characters (though having a Goliath Red Arrmer Team up would be the most epic thing ever!

And there are those two other games we have no clue about

MvC3, DvC, and MML3 DO IT CAPCOM!
