I thought a guy from Capcom said like four days ago that Marvel vs Capcom 4 wasn't in development ?

The tweets were from July, actually. EventHubs left out that fact for some reason.

 

[Tripon]

Uhh......

If true, hopefully Capcom got the roster nailed down after Marvel had their change of heart concerning Fox characters.

What's your proof on the Xmen ban?

 

[Lights and Waves]

Sure Jan.gif

 

[TheSpoiler]

Can we wait until the dude gets verified or banned first?

 

[Alucrid]

CAPCOM managing to grab another Marvel licensing deal?
Doubt it.

i don't think capcom could


but sony

 

[Leona Lewis]

Not happening. Especially after the blunder that is SFV.

This makes no sense.

SFV's failure makes it even more imperative for Capcom to take whatever low-hanging fruit they can get.

i don't think capcom could


but sony

Yep. Sony and Disney are tight, and Marvel's made it clear that it wants to be a big player in gaming again.

 

[Professor Beef]

Just to recap, a low quality marvel player made a thread because someone with no insider knowledge *whatsoever* made a jokey post.

I feel bad for the people getting worked by this.

 

[DR2K]

I'm not even taking the grain of salt. Shit is not happening and you shouldn't want Capcom in its current state to work on it.

 

[LordKano]

I don't believe it.



If it was in development he would more than likely deny it until the reveal.

Game companies do that all the time in regards to unannounced projects.

Never believe the devs word when it comes to this tbh

Yeah that's possible. Even though I don't think Capcom is in the mood to make any fighting games now, after the sales of Street Fighter V.

 

[ViolentP]

CAPCOM managing to grab another Marvel licensing deal?
Doubt it.

My first reaction was "why would it have to be Capcom?"

Then I called my mother and told her she raised an idiot.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

MARVEL 4?!?

 

[Neoxon]

What's your proof on the Xmen ban?

I'm mainly speaking from the talk from ComicsGAF that Marvel's easing up on how they treat Fox characters. And I'd rather not do our song-&-dance again and drag the rest of the thread down, I'm mainly referring to all of the post-CoC games released that are missing the Fox characters.

Though as of recently, Marvel & Fox relations have improved. I asked ComicsGAF about it, & they mentioned that there were rumors of Marvel easing up on forcing the Fox characters down next year. If this is true, I couldn't be more hyped for the future of Marvel Games.

 

[PSqueak]

Knowing Disney, they will probably let Capcom only work with their B-List reject superheroes.

Let's be fair.

Psylocke and Shuma Gorath became household names just because Capcom put them in their games.

Hell, up until 2006, googling Shuma-Gorath would return ONLY pictures of the games.

 

[Bronetta]

A game of telephone amongst GAF "insiders" isnt a valid source.

I want to believe but for the sake of my health I won't

 

[Producer]

Some reason huh. I can think of one

 

[Professor Beef]

The tweets were from July, actually. EventHubs left out that fact for some reason.

"For some reason" is because they're Eventhubs and they're desperate for clicks.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't believe this. Didn't we have a thread saying MVC4 wasn't in development? Is Capcom pulling a fast one on us?

 

[BakedYams]

It's been a while since I've posted on gaf so I've been out of the loop and don't know proper etiquette in terms of whats deemed good or bad. If the mods feel this should be taken down, by all means, please do, I'm just trying to inspire what little hope we have left for another versus game.

Just to recap, a low quality marvel player made a thread because someone with no insider knowledge *whatsoever* made a jokey post.

Gotta leave it to beef to sneak in an insult about my fighting game prowess.

 

[HouseDragon]

Biggest news of the year for me if true.
The fighting series that sparked my love for the genre.

Please be true!

 

[pizzacat]

Shut up yams


Also the x-men ban isn't a thing but it's pretty obvious if you read the comics that marvel is pushing inhumans

The latest thing is that an inhuman killed like one of the most important x-men members and no one cares

 

[TheDinoman]

I don't believe this. Didn't we have a thread saying MVC4 wasn't in development? Is Capcom pulling a fast one on us?

Once again, those tweets from Niitsuma were actually several months old. Eventhubs just reposted them in November and took out the dates.

 

[purseowner]

Can this entry enable me to beat the shit out of Howard the Duck as Issun from Okami, please?

 

[Mechazawa]

The hottest of bullshit.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He's only partially right. It's going to be Hanna-Barbera V Capcom that will be announced.

 

[Kinsei]

If this is true then I'll be very happy. I loved MvC3 and that was before I knew anything about Marvel outside of Spider-Man and X-Men.

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

Glad to see EH is staying classy.

 

[crimzonflame]

Let's be fair.

Hell, up until 2006, googling Shuma-Gorath would return ONLY pictures of the games.

Psylocke was already popular in the 90's.

 

[Neoxon]

Knowing Disney, they will probably let Capcom only work with their B-List reject superheroes.

Well, as mentioned earlier, Marvel is rumored to be easing up on certain restrictions next year. Assuming that both this rumor & the MvC4 rumors are true, if Capcom would benefit from this would depend on if they nailed down the roster before Marvel's supposed change-of-heart.

Worst-case scenario, we could get Wolveirne/Deadpool/Doctor Doom/Magneto/etc. as DLC (though Capcom would have to deal with the PR shit-storm before that). But again, this is assuming that there's any validity to the MvC4 rumor.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I thought a guy from Capcom said like four days ago that Marvel vs Capcom 4 wasn't in development ?

Why would they even announce they are working on one? I think they'd like to surprise people with an announcement.

 

[jbug617]

I wonder if Sony will fund this one also. SFV did underperform according to Capcom so I can't see them funding MvC4 by themselves.

It would be great if MvC4 would come to PS4, XB1, PC and Switch.

 

[KarmaCow]

Betting on an announcement with a short CG teaser and a ~2 year wait for the actual release.

 

[jett]

The only thing you're going to accomplish with this thread is get that poor dude banned, OP.

 

[Secret Character]

More like MCU vs. Capcom, right?

I guess we'll see in eight days.

 

[cloudstrife]

Working Wishlist:

- Daredevil
- Luke Cage
- Jessica Jones
- Star-Lord
- Iron Fist
- Vision
- Phil Coulson
- Quake
- Spider Gwen


- Megaman (Volnutt)
- Ryu with Beard
- Mickey (Castle of Illusion)

 

[OriginalJonty]

If this is true would that mean Capcom could possibly relist UMvC3 on digital stores? Or is that a whole other licensing issue?

 

[Tripon]

Glad to see EH is staying classy.

Don't worry, they will use this thread to make another article.

 

[D1renegade]

Such a lust for hopes and dreams to be crushed

 

[MegaMelon]

I have no stake in this but the gaf post from the dude who told us a few days in advance that Persona 5 would get delayed but with dual audio springs to mind.

 

[Azure J]

Yams, please.

 

[sephi22]

What's your proof on the Xmen ban?

Not the guy you asked but, I think I've heard Anthony Gallegos, who works on Marvel heroes, say on Rebel FM that Marvel heroes can add certain heroes that other games like infinity can't because the game was made before a certain date or some technicality. Heroes mentioned were these soft banned heroes like X men and Ff.

I could be hugely misremembering this. But after scrapping Disney's games development maybe they have a new approach

Sneak? No. Flat-out tell you? Yes.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Gene would be on my wishlist for this hypothetical fake game

 

[Neoxon]

I will say this, if MvC4 is happening & we get Nova in it, it better be Richard Rider (especially with him coming back in the comics). If you must have Sam Alexander, do it like UMvC3 & have Sam as a premium alternate costume for Richie.

 

[Daeoc]

I. . . I want to believe. .

 

[notworksafe]

Sneak? No. Flat-out tell you? Yes.

and this is coming from a pad thawk so you know its a serious accusation

 

[eggandI]

Plese don't play with my heart like this

 

[ZangBa]

This makes no sense.

SFV's failure makes it even more imperative for Capcom to take whatever low-hanging fruit they can get.

With what money? Sony's? Fat chance. They screwed up so bad with SFV, they don't deserve to touch the Marvel brand. Why would Disney even tarnish it by letting those clowns at Capcom handle it? Better off focusing on mobile.

 

[schaft0620]

CAPCOM managing to grab another Marvel licensing deal?
Doubt it.

There is a new team heading up games for Marvel dedicated to making this kind of stuff happen. They have only been running for about a year.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I bet it's multiplatform. If not then Marvel and Sony cooked up some great partnership.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Let's be fair.

You and I have different interpretations of what makes a 'household name'.
