And while the writers of a story would obviously never do 3D modeling, they still need to be paid, and Capcom could just as easily be paying more 3D modelers the money that they are paying the writers.

Not really. When a company sets out to make a game they don't come up with a budget and then decide how to distribute it, especially a company like Capcom which will be utilising people they're already paying a regular salary to.

The writers are a different deal because they probably will be getting paid by the word, but that will fall under and entirely different budget than the Capcom staff already working on the game. If they weren't paying those writers the game would simply cost less, they wouldn't suddenly take that money and hire more staff to make more characters.

Everyone from MvC1 but 'Geif, with Mike Haggar in his stead, and that'd be fine for me.

Fixed, for my personal liking.

I'm all for story-driven MvC3. Many games, as we've all seen recently, are focusing heavy on story (Heavy Rain, FFXIII, Halo, etc.). While I didn't much care for MKvsDC (I bought it and sold it on Ebay after beating it a week later), I loved how they came up with a plausible story to mesh everyone together.

I'm all for more characters but I want some kind of story and reason behind the fighting this time around. While the 3D modelers and people behind the choices of "who's in and who's out" are doing their work, the writers are doing their thing. I agree to this point. It's a large company, not a company of people pulling double duty.

But I understand where the anti-story, more characters, peeps are coming from. At some point in time, the game has to be finished. Capcom will eventually say "ok guys, let's wrap it up... oh you're not finished with the story on those characters? ok we'll cut them from the game. Marvel says so".

They need time to balance gameplay and Capcom had trouble with that during SFIV.

I guess my only thing is that...for all that that story does to help sell the game to more "casual-minded" people, it's still basically a thing that FGs will never escape the stigma of "Stories? FGs? :lol" that exists. And for the few times that these were attempted, it still boiled down to being something silly.

I was fine with the way that story was handled in past MAHVEL games. It was just enough that you knew that a bunch of people on both sides wanted to kick Pooky's/Onslaught's asses cuz they were threatening the fate of the world, all the while Magneto and Dictator were trying to vie for their own nefarious ends. Mission accomplished, and you got a nice, fun ending starring your character(s).

MvC's endings, which had Megaman getting Onslaught's weapon, Ryu and Morrigan having another Puzzle Fighter-off and etc. were nice. I didn't need too much more than that.

So, it worries me a bit that they want even MORE focus this time. That's not even what these games should be about in my opinion, as it was supposed to be fun stuff, not another "comic book crisis" thing. :lol

 

[Hours Left]

Stories in fighting games might usually end up as silly, but I can't help but be interested in them.

I'm glad the are putting more effort into them this time, the lack of individual endings (and win quotes) was my only real issue with MvC2.

Yeah I hear ya. As long as they don't cheese them up, I'll be ok. And my guess is that Marvel will want a more serious story-driven game so it's not about so-and-so getting married or puzzle-fighter-offs and such. Like I mentioned before, if they have some sort of inter-mixed story like MKvsDC, I'll be ok. That way, the character endings can follow traditional SF games.

 

[JasonUresti]

Any deep, serious story for this series is destined to fail.

It is a series that features human beings fighting one on one with beings that creates stars, take a nuke to the face and smile about it, and rule or destroy entire dimensions.

It's great fun, to be sure, but it all makes no sense. Any story designed to explain why the Hulk or Thanos dont smash a Street Fighter guy into paste in the blink of an eye, or why Shuma Gorath or Dormammu dont just say "I win" and turn everyone else into piles of sand, or something, with their near limitless magic power, is going to be extremely contrived and silly, so why bother?

 

[Grayman]

The street fighters are "normal people" who shoot fireballs, teleport, fly, and can take repeated blows that would kill a human being.

 

[TreIII]

The street fighters are "normal people" who shoot fireballs, teleport, fly, and can take repeated blows that would kill a human being.

Beyond the likes of say, Rose, Urien, Akuma, Dictator and Gill though, most of them are basically just exceptional martial artists. For the majority of the SFers, that would basically put them on the same level as say, the Daredevils and Shang-Chis of the Marvel world.

So, for the sake of "suspension of disbelief" that is MvC, it's fine. But realistically, 85% of the SF roster would not last long if they were really fighting against the likes of Wolverine, Black Heart and etc. :lol

That, in of itself, is why I hope for more representation for more beyond SFers on the Capcom side. You can actually pit some one like Jon Talbain against Wolverine and it would instantly be much more "compelling" than a Wolvie/Ryu match up. :lol

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Because Spiderman vs Thanos would make a whole lot more sense right? :lol

This I'd like a really whole lot but it seems Darkstalkers characters are not at all popular outside of Morrigan and Lillith. Sad.

Solution: Wesker vs. Wolvie

Martial arts in the SF world allows them to do clearly super human feats though, unlike in Marvel.

Guile is supposed to be able to move his arms at sonic speed to create his projectile, Ryu is shown holding a big bolder in Oro's SF3 ending, Akuma does all sorts of crazy stuff almost every time... While they obviously shouldn't be able to handle Marvel's higher tiers, I don't think people like Wolverine and Spider-Man are really beyond them.

Don't tell me you guys are going to start 'n argue what comic book characters beat whatever videogame character :b

"Dante or Nero"?

It appears his boots overlap his pants. Dante's pants overlap his boots.

But then again, Nero doesn't have a big collar.

Maybe it's a mix of the two :lol

I don't know about THAT particular silhouette but the other art work that was put out:

That is Dante on the right. I am so sure about it, that I can pin it down to it being DMC3's Dante carrying Rebellion on his back. DMC3 Dante is the only Dante in the series who has a FULL SLEEVE jacket and that is definitely Rebellion judging from the hilt pattern. His shoulders also match up. The boots from the other silhouette also match up.

I don't know why Capcom is going for the DMC3 Dante look, design wise he was the most hated one.

I am also pretty confident about the mystery Capcom female being Trish although I don't know why Capcom is using two slots for DMC characters when there are so few Capcom slots available. That slot should've been Vergil's...

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I think I like DMC3 Dante the best.

Despite the manssiere, I just like him better. Although, I do like the design of DMC2 Dante despite not actually playing that game.

 

[V_Arnold]

Calling it now: DMC5 in early 2011. Just in coincidently with MVC3.
That would explain why there are more than one character from that game.

And it hurts to see no Osborn / Sentry, simply because Siege will be an old story by the time this game arrives -.-

Something DMC is going to come out in 2011 no matter what happens.

That is because 2011 is officially the 10 year anniversary of DMC. As far as DMC5 goes, I would only expect it late 2011 at best there has been no word on it yet. Then again, its been 2 years since DMC4 and that is about the time when a DMC game gets announced in between games... E3 maybe.

Capcom is just godlike this gen. I'm expecting DMC5 and Megaman Legends 3 at E3.

They weren't bad perse last gen, but they've easily kicked it into overdrive this gen.

 

[Dahbomb]

I would argue that they were better last generation than this generation, mostly due to the presence of Kamiya/Mikami.

CAPCOM LAST GENERATION

[/IMG]

Granted there were some pile of craps as well but overall I think last gen they were extremely good. I would say that at the pace that Capcom is going they might end up superseding the previous generation.

 

[Drahcir]

I JUST started replaying the Onimusha series, and when MvC 3 was announced, I couldn't help but think how awesome it would be to have these guys in it.

 

[TreIII]

Capcom is just godlike this gen. I'm expecting DMC5 and Megaman X9 at E3.

Slight fix for what I think is a bit more reasonable.

The way Inafune has been seemingly so reluctant to commit to the idea of a new Legends/DASH game, I'm not expecting to see it any time soon, just like with a new Viewtiful Joe or Breath of Fire game.

Meanwhile, X9 would be a project that would not only stand to be a cheaper investment, it would stand to definitely make people happy who have been desiring a new X game for a number of years now.

Either X9, or a non-PSP MHX2. That's what I could go for...

 

[hitsugi]

It'd be nothing short of a travesty if God Hand doesn't make it to MVC3.

• MT Framework was designed specifically for a new Megaman Legends
• Viewtiful Joe is a Clover game that sold terribly.
• Breath of Fire, unfortunately, is not really a relevant series.
• Megaman X9 after 2 Old school megamans might be pushing it.
• Inafune has been begging to make Legends forever.
• Inafune is currently making a game he's incredibly psyched about.

I'm hoping.

I'd like to see it happen too, but I still think the fact that DASH is/was one of the less popular renditions of the Blue Bomber in the West makes it so that there would still need to be something "safe" for Capcom to rely on. A new X game would be more along that kind of lines, I would think. Plus if X and/or Zero have a chance of being in MvC3, that will only increase the possible demand.

And I really do hope that they reconsider their stance of BoF, as well. One stinker, and they drop it like a bad habit? :lol;

...i know is just a shadow thing .... but dante has a sexy waist xD

...wich scarely fits perfectly with the gun bra hehehe

 

[Hours Left]

I think I like DMC3 Dante the best.

I agree. It's his most iconic look too, as most Dante merchandise I've seen has him in his DMC3 outfit.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom had Megaman Volnutt and Zero. I don't know why they picked Volnutt. But Zero is really popular, I can't see him not being in.

And if Zero's in, they need some rendition of Megaman. Either classic or X, I think.

 

[AniHawk]

Hi so I was just thinking man there's been a lot of mentions for MvC3 lately and WHOA MY GOD IT'S ACTUALLY REAL AND HAPPENING!? HOLY SHIT

 

[Beth Cyra]

While they obviously shouldn't be able to handle Marvel's higher tiers, I don't think people like Wolverine and Spider-Man are really beyond them.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Guile, he has been my main since SF II and continues to be even now in SF IV, but come one now.

Wolverine has been completely incenerated, ripped in half by the Hulk, and had metal ripped out of his body. And he still ended up brushing these things off.

If we are really going to look at the characters as they are then no one outside of Morrigan combined with Lilth has any chance against even Wolvie from Capcoms side especially the SF crew, simply because none of them can do anything to put the bastard down. Let alone the higher powered characters.

It skips him until after it lists the Capcom 5. Then it uses the art to figure out who he is.


Right? Or is Dormammu silhouette #11?

Wishing the flame head is ghost rider and not either neo- god dormammu or mephisto.. ghost rider has a lot of potential as a fighter.

Noticed this too, no idea who it could be. Looks like he/she has on a cloak or something to me.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

On further analysis (lol) That character on the far right side of Marvel has:

-A cape (no baggy pants like I thought earlier, thats just the cape outline)
-Shoulder pads with a long spike on each
-Looking at his thumb, you cans see a long nail sticking out, so he probably has claws (like Sabretooth .. but its not him of course, he doesnt share the other two items)

I really have no clue. Its a pretty standard villain pose though

Far right could be Blade ... or The Punisher.

Fangs and spiky pads crosses both of them out of that silhouette.
