ULTIMATE Marvel vs Capcom 3: Out now!

[Purple Filth]

This is like the only time I'm completely unfamiliar with the references around a video game. Wtf is the meaning behind pringles and curleh moustaches?

[youtube=560,345]sZZUMjoxfZA[/youtube]

Funny video that turned into a bunch of worn out memes.

Is that Yipes commentating?

Yep

[Yeti]

I hope they put Dr. Octopus in, I think he would be a fun character to play as with all his robot arms.

[Rman]

I'm just glad it's done by the TvC team.  Couldn't get into MvC2.

[Damian79]

Only 30 characters?  GG.

[bork]

"Only 30."  LOL.

[Damian79]

Do you remember MvC2 it had like 60.

[pilonv1]

30 characters is lame. Will be super DLC rape I bet

[bork]

Do you remember MvC2 it had like 60.

Yes, and do you remember how fucked up the balance was?  And how they just re-used like every old-ass sprite they had?  It was like an official MUGEN hack from Capcom.   

30 characters for a brand-new fighter is really good.  I will only be disappointed if the Capcom side just happens to be every character from TvC with a few additions.

Disappointing was the original arcade SF4 roster.  The 12 original SF2 characters plus four new faces?  After all that time?     OH WAIT AKUMA IS NOW HERE!!!      The home version's additions really helped, even though it was almost all characters we'd seen before.

doesn't Disney own Marvel

MvC2 was in a prime position to have 56 characters --only a few of those were totally new to the series in that iteration.  It almost wouldn't make sense if it DIDN'T have so many.  And don't forget how much of the cast is actually anywhere near halfway decent in that game.  There's only a small handful on the entire Capcom side that are worth half a shit.

Here, 30 characters (presumably) from scratch is pretty fucking lofty, especially if BALANCE is a goal they're going to take seriously.

I bet you this game will be unbalanced going by how unbalanced TvC was with less characters.

TvC got an upgrade that helped address its balancing.  If this is the same people who worked on that series, then this is the "third entry" and they'll have more experience on their side. 

...I hope.

MvC2 had the advantage of using sprite rips from other Capcom games.

They are mostly doing these from scratch. plus in the interview they are at 30 at this stage, so more could be added.

Will be interesting if they can get more

Frank West? What's his superpower?

[Ichirou]

My hopes for the Capcom side:

Mega Man
Dante
Chris Redfield
Frank West
Phoenix Wright (or Miles Edgeworth or Franziska Von Karma)
Morrigan
Hsien-Ko
Chun-Li
Ryu
Tron Bonne
Jin Saotome
Hayato
Viewtiful Joe
SonSon
Strider Hiryu

[Raban]

If I can make a Strider/Dante/Joe team, I'll be more than happy.

[Don Flamenco]

Iwazaru and Samantha from Killer 7 plx

[bork]

I want more characters that haven't been in these crossover games before.  Phoenix Wright, Dante, Chris Redfield, Arthur, June, etc. etc.  They've got shitloads of Marvel characters that could be used too besides the usual bunch.

Also take advantage of the game using 3D models.  Multiple outfits/character swaps would be cool.  Even if they play the same, have Ryu's alt be Ken.  Have Wolverine's alt be X-23.  Have the Hulk's at be the Red Hulk.  Etc.

[Himu]

AHHAHAHAHA

As said before. Dante Please.

Actually the interview said they are hoping to get to 30+ by spring 2011 depending on time.  Sounds like it'll be tough for them to even get 30 in but that's their goal.

The only thing that makes me a little sad is if this isn't until spring 2011, it'll probably be spring 2013 before we get MvC4 with a 50+ character cast like MvC2.

[Robo]

Summary of the details so far, via eventhubs:

Here's a run down of what to expect from the new title.

• The game is set for a spring 2011 release date on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

• Right now the development team is looking at having about 30 characters — or so — in the roster.

• Seth Killian said that fans can expect "a healthy dose of new blood" when it comes to fighter selection.

• It's a 3-on-3 tag team fighting game, players build their own squads and uses Assists as well. Very similar to MvC2.

• The title uses an advanced version of Capcom's MT Framework, which powered Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2.

• MvC3 has aerial combos, hyper combos and other original gameplay systems.

• The game is officially titled Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.

• The goal is to get 100 pieces of music in the game, that includes old favorites, new tracks and remixes. The 'Take You For A Ride' song won't be returning, at least, it's not planned right now. THANK BABY JESUS

• There are no plans for an arcade, PC or Wii version.

• The team behind this wants this game to have a strong storyline.

• Development started on MvC3 in the summer of 2008.

• The art you see below are actually in-game character models.

No way are those in game models

[Robo]

I'm guessing this is where that detail is coming from because I don't see anyone definitively saying those are in-game models. 

If they REALLY are, then holy shit.

[Veidt]

I agree with Himuro on this one. Those things just like too amazing. :O

[Robo]

Here we go, sort of: http://kotaku.com/5520736/a-first-look-at-marvel-vs-capcom-3s-in+game-graphics

Turns out that those six pieces of character art that Capcom provided to sites for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 show how the characters will look in the game when rendered on Capcom's in-house graphics engine MT Framework, the developer says.

While Capcom tells Kotaku that the characters are in-game models, these static images don't yet include shaders or the dynamic lighting and they are all, of course, works in progress.

[Bebpo]

no strong storylines plz

unless that just means crazy endings, then yes, I want.

[Smooth Groove]

I could buy that those models are real.  They don't even seem that impressive, imo.  Naruto on the PS3 had already shown that it can make a game look like comics. 

[archie4208]

No 'Take You For a Ride'?  Fuck this game.

[Smooth Groove]

The Janitor from Dead Rising would make a great joke character. 

[Raban]

No 'Take You For a Ride'?  Fuck this game.

Fuck your face.

The in-game graphics are pretty tight if that image is really something to go by. Looks like next-gen Viewtiful Joe.

[Himu]

I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE

DUN DUNDUN DUN DUN DUN-DUN

THIS IS A TERRIBLE SONG.

[Bebpo]

eh, I'd go out on a limb and say all fighting game soundtracks (besides the original SF2 & the Guilty Gear/Blazblue guitar rock) are terrible.  

[Cravis]

I really enjoyed the Tekken 2/3/Soul Edge era of Namco's soundtracks.

[Enl]

eh, I'd go out on a limb and say all fighting game soundtracks (besides the original SF2 & the Guilty Gear/Blazblue guitar rock) are terrible.  

I've always felt that some of SNK's soundtracks were pretty good. Samurai Shodown 1&2 and the Fatal Furies in particular.

[Raban]

SSF2T and 3:TS are my favorites. Outside of that, yes I agree, fighting game soundtracks are shit.

[bork]

No way.

Namco and SNK (pre-Playmore, with the exceptions being KOF '98 and 2002 UM) have the best fighting game soundtracks overall.  All of the Tekkens and Soul games have great music.  Just about all of SNK's arranged music in particular is awesome.  I think Capcom games can be kinda weak, but SF2 music is classic, Alpha 1 had some good songs, Alpha 3 is great, all three SF3 games' soundtracks are the shit, and Marvel  Vs. Street Fighter and MvC1 had great music too.  MvC2 is the one with atrocious music that is so bad it's good/funny. 

I loved Virtua Fighter 1's music, but after that, the series' soundtrack went to shit.  Sega fighting games have pretty weak music, IMO. 

Out of the most recent fighting games, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom UAS has the best soundtrack, I think.  I really like the new music in SSF4 and that may top it in the end.

[Robo]

I tend to completely ignore the music unless it's particularly annoying.

BEATS IN YA BEATS IN YA BEATS IN YA BEATS IN YA BEATS IN YA HEEEAAAD

Couldn't hum a single bar of any DESTRUCTABLE song in SF4 in spite of the countless hours I've sank into it.

Damn, CvS2 nostalgia bomb. I haven't played that game in soooooooo long. Now that we have MvC3 out of the way, we can start hoping for CvS3.

All 3D fighter OSTs have been 100% forgettable to me. Only Capcom and SNK can bring the goods as far as I'm concerned. My biggest disappointment in SF4 was the OST, aside from the remixes and INDESTRUCTIBLE

No love for Alpha 2? I love the remixed versions of the Alpha/SF2 tracks and that Sakura theme is awesome.

[bork]

I like Alpha 2 (arcade, not the console versions) too, but not as much as Alpha 1 and 3.

[Don Flamenco]

I'd be super happy with an xbla port of it.   I always felt it was a much better game than MvC2.

CVS3 probably won't happen, since SNK is pretty much irrelevant these days.

[Damian79]

If those are ingame models those have to be the best cel shading i have seen to date.

Heh I loved This Is True Love Makin' from CvS2 - got that retro 90's house flava to it... and of course Beats In Yo Head.

[Robo]

Indestructible is terrible.  Fuck you all.

[Bebpo]

This thread got me to give the MvC2 demo a try.  I'd passed over it when it was released because I figured why spend money when I have the dreamcast version sitting right here. 

Wow, nostalgia central.  Have not played this game in like 6 years.  But yeah, wow.  Still so good.  This seems like a good port too.  Classic sprites look about what I remembered the game looking like.  I think I will buy this and check out ONLINE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM :O

[demi]

lol, online is filled with goober MANGO SENTINELS

Sometimes you get lucky and get some nub.

[Bebpo]

Oh well.  I'm mainly getting it to play local again like back in the day.  $15 is really too expensive, especially after the awesome Afterburner was only $10. but I'm feelin' I need this in my blood so I will pay it.

[naff]

Yeah the animation in NUNS is amazing. Probably the most stunned I've been with animation in a game ever. Literally as smooth and perfect as watching the anime.
