Shouldn't we have a sepArate thread for MVCI?

Shouldn't we have a sepArate thread for MVCI?

No. The title changed to reflect that this is now the MvCI thread. Really all things MvC

I know this isn't confirmed, but as I've said elsewhere, this so-called character ban for X-Men and Fantastic Four has never been 1) official 2) absolute. Also, the rumor that they wouldn't be in there was more or less speculation on the part of Polygon. It under no circumstances really confirmed no X-Men or Fantastic Four characters at all.

Now I will acknowledge I could turn out to be wrong, but why wouldn't you insert Wolverine into this game? Or maybe Doctor Doom for that matter?

oh I looked into that too during the time marvel's avengers allince 2 came about the only rule this rumor really applied to was the one's disney published and distrbuted ones with the exception of avengers alliance 1 as a separate thing from where marvel them selve were doing so with marvel heroes the game and contest of champions.

which this so called ru7more tried to encompass.
both contest of champion and marvel heroes which are directly deal made by marvel them selve's (disney isn't apart of that deal) allow mutant's from the X-men and have shown to be playable and still releasing them.

games like disney infinity excluded them (the x-men) and them disney got really weird and pulled them selves from doing in those video games completely after words.

I like you said the same thing months ago. there isn't a full adamant rule to keep them out of games . but there has been exclusion

But that was where the disney was involved with games and that's where their games were pushing the movie look very heavyly.

the two games series I mentioned while they do feature their movie look for the avengers when it's about x-men and larger half the MU they chose the looks from the comic's and are still putting the X-men currently.

I do think there's possibility we'll see X-men and mutant's like squerrle girl in the game of MVC infinity.

I think fans and media in general blew the conflict out of proportion. Ultimately, we shall see.

well it was all of the media. I know the smart ones didn't bother with that stuff and are just waiting for some certain games that were promised for console to be confirmed. it's most from the fans side .

but yeah there's a lot that was blown out of proportion and the weird feud that marvel has be doing with fox with their on and of relationship isn't helping and the weirdness with in the comic's them selves ether. that part has to stop from the marvel side. cause ughh.

I agree we'll see.


ok back to the game


if this was put up my apologies

yeah. I miss the arcade scene.........

I'm sure a game like MvC Infinite would be a huge hit in the arcades.

but with PSN/Live, and the home consoles being so powerful enough, I guess there's no real reason for the arcades.

still, there was something social about the arcades. and special, too, when you walked in and discovered a totally brand new game you've never heard of ( like Xmen vs SF ). Back then, the internet was in it's infancy, so we didn't have sites like this or IGN or whatever to keep abreast of news.

there were these things called magazines, though........

Yes it's a shame that it has pretty much died out as a cultural thing in England, although still some good ones in central London. I remember being pretty amazed when I first saw X-Men Vs Street-Fighter!

I was big into the gaming magazines and kept all of them until only about 5 years ago...just took up way too much space. I loved rereading some classic really well written original reviews from games like SFII, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Starfox, Super Star Wars, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and FFVII & VIII. Can still picture them in detail and remember the screenshots used!

Wonder if that means we'll see more characters that made it high on those polls. For example, I think in both the Japanese and American Poll, Venom took the #1 spot for most requested Marvel character.

yeah, I had a whole pile of old gaming mags I got rid of about 5 years ago or so, too.

I'd be surprised if they ignored polls completely when filling out the remaining slots.

I've heard Psylocke ranks pretty high, too, as a requested character.

I've voted for her myself enough times.

Play Arts Kai, let's get some action figures of these!

Gambit was truly an underrated character to use. You had to know how to handle his abilities.

Well Polygon is absolute trash so its quite reasonable that anything they'd claim would be pure horse s**t. Them being the main base of this "no x-men" in MvC4 is exactly why I'm confident those characters will show up.

 

[jerkhero]

They could take advantage of the x-men rumor in marketing, just don't say anything about them in months, then show Wolverine trailer in EVO or something.

 

[zeptron]

In regards to the polls, even though certain Marvel characters were highly requested, it was Marvel themselves that had the final say on which could get in. Hence why four of the added Capcom characters in UMVC3 were ones that were highly requested and out of the added Marvel characters, the only one that was highly requested was Ghost Rider. Though it's likely he was chosen to promote his upcoming movie at the time.

Venom may be highly requested, but the issue with him is that the majority of the people want the Eddie Brock version which is also what Capcom wanted. However Marvel wanted the Flash Thompson version since that was the current version at the time in the comics. And if that version had gotten in instead, the people that only knew Venom from the cartoons and video games would have been raging because they'd have no idea what was going on.

 

[Iceman]

Given that this series started off as X-Men Vs Street Fighter it would be ironic if X-Men and Street Fighter characters made up only a tiny portion of the final roster.

Though given that Venom is now a villain again in the comics and once again has his classic appearance (even if it's a new guy in the suit), Marvel might feel more comfortable letting classic Venom be in Infinite.

B*******. I'm not calling that b******* on your end but I am calling it b******* on Marvel and Capcom's end, because if Marvel really only wanted characters that were active and still alive in the comic books then why did they allow Jean Grey and Richard Rider in Marvel vs Capcom? Jean Grey was dead at the time and they hadn't replaced her with the teenage version from All Star X-Men and Rick Rider was dead and Sam Alexander was the current Nova but they still used Ricks version. So there's no excuse why Eddie Brock's Venom couldn't have been in the game.

Because those characters don't contradict with anything Marvel was pushing at the time. Sam Alexander didn't exist when the game was being made (his first comic appearance came out the same month as UMVC3) and it's not like they had introduced a brand new character also named Jean Grey who looks nothing like Classic Jean.

Classic Venom in the game actively contradicts what they were pushing in the comics because he was Anti-Venom when MVC3 came out and by the time Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was out, they were now marketing Venom as the heroic Agent Venom.
