Capcom Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[Brainiac 8]

Yay Superskrull.

Black Widow will be interesting. I'm also super stoked I get Frank West again.

 

[Superhero 101]

Must buy!!!!

Its funny how Spider-man isn't anywhere to be seen in any of the promo art. Has Ironman officially trumped Spidey in popularity?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

A lot of characters have since OMD. Well, in the comic community anyway. I'm sure ol webhead is still popular with the kiddies though.

Heh, I haven't even noticed Spider-Man's absence. It really is surprising. Now if only Logan could stop hogging the spotlight as well. I can't wait to see the upcoming character reveals. I'm really surprised that this game will get at least 30 characters. That's really massive for a game that doesn't recycle old sprites.

And I'm looking forward to the story. Even if silly, MKvsDC's story was fun to watch unfold and it was great to see the characters interact with each other. I only hope the endings won't be as ridiculous. Those were just garbage.

 

[Casius--J]

Oh wow they're makin this game??? I can not wait to get it. I LOVED MvC2 probably one of my favourite fighting games of all time. Yeah it was hectic but for me thats what made it awesome.

I do hope Thor will be in it too, and eventhough they havent revealed him I'm pretty sure Spidey is in there. If not then we're gonna have some issues lol

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, Spidey is definitely in. It's just funny to see him completely absent from any Promo art.

 

[kguillou]

Yeah ever since the Ironman movie, Marvel's really been pushing Ironman to be their new mascot.

 

[Nathan]

Looking at all the silhouettes again, looks like the one most thought was Hawkeye, is in fact Superskrull. Too bad for Clint Fans right now.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehhh Superskrull is awesome anyway.

But if he gets in and the likes of Nova or Thor don't i will be left scratching my head... to say the least.

interesting choices so far

It's weird that it almost seems correct that Chris Redfield was fighting the Hulk since he's so roided out in RE5.

Spring 2011 is a pretty long time, so kind of crappy to get all excited for this, only to have that date thrown out that long away. Oh well, still cool.

 

[rashad]

 

[Oscorp]

Kinda weird that we don't see Spider-Man anywhere, but he's a safe bet anyway (I hope??).

More than 30 characters due to time restraints. Hmm...at least 15 for each side. It's damn hard to pick only 15 Marvel characters. But I guess this means it will be alot more balanced than its predecessor.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Is that poster suppose to be the entire cast? If so, looks like ol' Tron got left out, unless I'm missing something

 

[Brainiac 8]

We were talking about the absense of Spider-Man over at the PA forums....someone mentioned that maybe Activision is fighting to make sure that Capcom can't use him.

I'm not sure how much creative control Marvel gave Activision with the character, but with the way Kotick has been acting lately with his over the top jerkiness, it wouldn't surprise me that he is trying hard to keep Spider-Man off of MvC3 just to spite a competing company.

That has me worried now, actually! I mean, Spider-Man is someone everyone counts with to be in the game, so why make him such a secret? Yeah, he could be there in the silhuettes, but it doesn't look like that.

 

[BETArayBill]

theres no way spider-man is not in it rise of the imperfects had him and that was an ea game the marvel fighting license allows all characters to be in it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Bayonetta is from Sega. The game was developed by some of the Devil May Cry staff though. lol

Actually it was done by Platinum Games. Sega just published it.

 

[Nathan]

Ok, I've been tying to play MvC2 again, and I really, really, REALLY, hope they work on the tag team function. It's no fun at all when you try to concentrate on your opponent while his partner comes jumping into your face every 2 seconds. I've played against Spider-Man and he did nothing but block and call Psylocke.

 

[zeptron]

Spider-man is the most well known Marvel character. Even non comic fans know who he is. Not having him in this would be like a DC vs game not having Batman or Superman.

And it's not that I'm ungrateful but I'm hoping for more than 30 characters in the end. Maybe around 50. Thor really ought to be playable.

 

[Tron Bonne]

This is a new engine, I believe. 30 is stretching with a new game engine, you won't get 50.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, we're lucky that we even get 30. 50 is completely unrealistic.

 

[zeptron]

A guy can dream can he?

Also an article saying that they want more than 30

As of right now, Activision has the rights to Spider-Man locked up. Problem is, we don't know just how tight that lock up is.

But this is Bobby Kotick we are talking about. Whether or not it includes him in fighting games, the man has become crazy when it comes to holding onto certain things.

He may honestly fight to make sure SM does not appear in a competing companies games, and if he really decides to raise a stink about it, I'm pretty sure Disney will just let it go, which would mean no SM in MvC3.

We'll see though, there is quite a large gap till release.
