The realistic artstyle is probably gonna bite this game in the ass later down the line. Marvel 3 still looks great to this day.

What im really worried about is if the stones will kill interest in the game or if you can turn them off.

Why would the stones kill interest? From what we've seen so far they look like they fit just fine into this game.

For me it just looks over simplified and takes up way too much screen space making everything feel cramped.

It is not the flashiest or most elegant looking UI, I'll agree that far. But it does what's important so really well. "How much life do I have left? How does that compare to my partner? Can I tag now?" That's one eye flick up, then back down. You know all of that.

Add to that the voice clip your partner has before your life gets critical, keep an ear out for Thor's "Summon the God of Thunder!" line during the video and you have a redundancy along with the DANGER! text that you should consider getting out of there, even if you have to use the 2 meter counter tag.

It is perhaps a little too utilitarian for a Marvel game, but on the other hand. Marvel games are fast and flashy. Maybe having the lifebar show restraint and just be useful isn't a bad thing with that.

2 and 3 have awesome art-direction. This, not even close. I gotta say I'm disappointed.

> says new game looks cheap

> wants port of 17 year old game made entirely of resused sprites, mismatched 3D backgrounds and inappropriate muzak OST

> says new gameplay looks bland

> wants old gameplay that has been thoroughly exhausted

Anyway, at least they ported MvC3 to modern consoles and PC. If they ported MvC2 I guarantee the netcode would be just as shit as it was on PS360.

That old game is still more fun to me than MvC3 was and it looks like it will be more fun than this one. Nothing wrong with making an old game available for preservation on more systems than the existing ones.

2 doesn't even have art direction. lol.

Literally rips sprites from games that barely look similar at all. It's a happy accident that it ended up being good.

I think MvC2 sucks

Surely you realize how silly it is to say, "new game looks cheap," while pining for a game that was literally company sanctioned mugen?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Wow... you say you want Fem Thor from the comics but complain about Hawkeye looking like he's looked in the comics since long before the MCU? Hawkeye's look in UMVC3 was outdated when that game came out. That's awfully inconsistent as a comics fan.

And Thor in this game also looks more like he does from the comics more than how he looks in the movies.

Now, if Spidey ends up looking more like Homecoming than the Amazing Spider-Man, then you're onto something... Or maybe they'll risk going for Miles Morales?

Just make high school aged Spider-Man a character and make Miles an alt costume. That's how we did it back in the ye old days of 2011

"Gems" have really taken on a new term for some people after SFxT. I guess that's Capcom's own fault though.

But I see no reason why they would make people lose interest. They're completely different from aomething like SFxT gems and seem to be implemented fully into the gameplay. For comparison they look like X-Factor in different forms.

Yoooo

Ryce got left behind.

I sincerely hope this is the case, because I was told point blank by someone who clearly attended the press event (they knew the release date, which characters were in the demo, and other gameplay details) that Ryu's Shoryuken was done with a down, down motion. That's a weird thing to be wrong about.

 

[Skilletor]

Nah, make Parker "Techy" spidey with a modified movelist, and make Miles a new character with venom blast and chameleon stuff.

Sloppy inputs, imo. I'll believe the dude who works for Capcom.

could have just been the press event build choice

 

[BronsonLee]

I think the press event had Simple Mode on.

 

[fhqwhgads]

I don't mind how Hawkeye looks as long as he gets to keep his amazing theme from UMVC3. Speaking of, it's not hard to see why they're not following UMVC3's gameplay for this. There's a lot of casual marvel fans that would get turned off by how something like MVC2/3 plays, going for the OG MVC style is the best choice for getting casual players invested. Capcom ain't in the position to be purposely going for a niche, unfortunately.

Maybe they meant down forwardx2? Pretty sure it's a thing in either Marvel3 or SF4 or both.

Maybe there's an option for DP or "classic" inputs.
Still, you got got son.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Yoooo

Ryce's info comes from people that attended media/press events. If that was how it was for them (there's multiple sources here on GAF, including people that directly attended the event) that's how it was reported.

If they don't want "fake news" they shouldn't give out fake info.

Ryce didn't say anything about QC motions, either.

 

[BronsonLee]

Ryce is the villain now
I vote we attack him

Spoiler

they should've addressed this immediately when it started making the rounds

Perhaps they were a #Casual

 

[cordy]

Ryce, now's your chance. They're calling you out.

Reveal all your news to GAF!!!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

IT'S DUCK HUNTING SEASON!

Spoiler

Nah Ryce is good boy.

 

[BronsonLee]

RABBIT SEASON

 

[SixMachine]

DF,DF was a shortcut input for the shoryuken in many games, the person playing might have been sloppy and think they were doing D,D.

Isn't down, down + attack an actual shortcut for Shoryukens anyways?

It's like that in Smash 4, I believe.

 

[Durden77]

 

[Vazra]

Might sound silly but sadly this new one doesnt do anything for me. That sanctioned mugen game does more for me than this.

 

[Dahbomb]

You guys know the penalty of fake leaks on GAF right?

Mods chiseling their hammer with Ryce's name!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

who's the rabbit though

That's fine.

Still silly, tho.

 

[eggandI]

Yoooo

holy shit... we got left behind

 

[sixteen-bit]

in Ryce's defence what if they have both?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Downfoward Downforward is.

 

[Kadey]

Down/foward x2. Another explanation is the demo being in simple mode or something.

 

[BronsonLee]

This is almost assuredly what it is considering Marvel's had Simple Mode since, what, the first one?

 

[Beckx]

DF, DF punch in SFIV will get a DP (because of the weird "shortcut" system in that game which was the bane of Hakan players everywhere (._. ))

 

[Tirael]

No, Shoryuken is just Up + B, and you can do the actual Shoryuken motion to get a more powerful version.

In the amount of time it took to get debunked, I actually started to like the idea of Down, Down + Attack for Shoryuken. For one, it deals with crossups better. Very common in Marvel.

 

[Grimsen]

Still not too hot on the presentation, but the active switching mechanic looks kinda great. Mixups are gonna be crazy, and people who think it's going to be less of a clusterfuck without assists are in for a surprise.

At least, with assists, you know what the attack is going to be.

 

[fr0st]

Maybe it's a simplified control scheme for beginners

You putting him on blast? might as well do the same with you, you said you have insider info but don't want to reveal it so how about we let a mod PM you?

Shortcuts also work for getting a true Shoryuken in Smash 4. Ryu has two shortcuts he can use, actually. I don't remember the other one, though.

 

[BronsonLee]

Why would we punish Dahbomb when he already has to face the ultimate punishment of there never being a Devil May Cry 5

 

[AdaWong]

Hawkeye's portrait looks like Wesker.

 

[SENPAIatLARGE]

Looks like Ryce wasn't so nice after all
