Sorry to backtrack, but what's with people saying the game isn't called "Marvel Vs. Capcom 4" and has no Capcom characters?
There are for sure Capcom characters, it's Marvel vs Capcom. There may not be a four, and it may be a soft reboot of sorts since there's no XMen. There's a rumor that MCU actors (not just the TV shows) will voice the Marvel characters.

"Sure!"

*goes to PS4 dashboard and loads MVC2*

Gave me literal goosebumps.

Iron Galaxy, who previously did 3rd Strike Online, MvC Origins, Darkstalkers Resurrection and D&D: Chronicles of Mystara for Capcom, are planning on streaming UMvC3 before Capcom Pro Tour and PSX, and now two days before, Adam Boyes, the CEO of Iron Galaxy randomly tweets about heading to VGAswhile posting pictures of a couple of Marvel shirts.

There's no way UMvC3 remaster or MvC4 isn't happening. My crazy guess is UMvC3 remaster at VGAs, followed by MvC4 at Capcom Pro Tour.

I've already said - MvC4 is at the PSX keynote. No idea where UMvC3 is gonna show up.

I'm sure this means nothing, but Marvel does actually own marvelvcapcom.com and renewed the domain late last year. The domain was created about 2 years prior to the release of vanilla Marvel Vs Capcom 3. It's set to expire in less than two months though.
 
I recall MVC2 and UMVC3 were on a list of potential BC titles for Xbox One. Quite a few of the other items on that list have eventually gone BC so I have been holding out hope.

Not sure what to make of all this exclusivity talk though. Plans may have changed.
 
Not only no x-men .... no Dr Doom, no Super Skrull, no Sentinel, no Storm, no Magneto, no Wolverine, no Deadpool

oh and 2x2 not 3x3

Figured as much. Like I said, I refuse to believe Marvel is that dumb to not include Deadpool or Wolverine until something is officially shown. They need to get over the Fox situation.

I tried to compile all the information we have thus far because as time goes on people are just trying to spread nonsense, and the OP isn't being updated. I left out completely unreliable/unaccountable stuff (4Chan, Discord), but all of this stuff shouldn't be taken as fact and people should use their own judgment.

Yeah marvel is still able to use the skrulls as a race in the movies. They could just create a skull with a different name.
Didn't they go out of their way to not use the Skrulls as a race in the movies, instead opting for their Ultimate counterparts in the Avengers?

There is an interview where Seth Killian said it was hard as hell to get them for MvC3 .... now without him and more success in the MCU I don't think they can bargain ...

It had less to do with licensing and more to do with needing time to establish the Skrulls and their motivations. It doesn't make sense for Thanos to be leading a Skrull invasion of earth anyhow.

A collection would be amazing, but UMvC3 (hopefully on PC too) with rollback netcode is my biggest want. Not expecting a major patch but go ahead and surprise me :)

MvC2 is still phenomenal including the online play on PS3 and 360, at the least those should be put back the digital marketplace.

One thing to add, Tom Philips said yes to no Fox characters in general, not just the X-Men. This is what I asked.
Me on Twitter said:
Can you confirm Polygon's scoop on MvC4 (at PSX/CC, 2017, has Ant-Man & Groot, no Fox characters, etc.)?

The reason the xmen and ff wouldnt be in is that it would give the movie versions popularity
Super Skrull isn't in the Fox cinematic universe and so him coming back wouldn't give Fox free publicity
Fox has the movie rights to Kl'rt/Super-Skrull in particular, so he's fucked by virtue of Marvel avoiding Fox-owned characters.

I was a dumb teen and sold MvC3 for some quick cash. It's super fucking expensive right now so I would really appreciate a port.
