Marvel VS Capcom Infinite

[Derek Metaltron]

So damned pissed right now. DC is perfectly able to have Netherealm do Injustice 2 and a solid DC only fighting game for consoles, but we Marvel fans, despite the fact it's more popular than ever, STILL have to share space with fecking Capcom characters we don't care about! Half the damn roster, wasted! And you can bet there's no story on the level of Injustice to be had, just Capcom trying to make the bloody thing as suited to endless competitions on the paid fighting game comp range.

Very, VERY iffy about the 'Infinite' subtitle. Something about it is setting off my warning bells for free-to-play, microtransactions, hodgepodge incomplete product at launch (remember SFV? Y'know, for the year or so it took to actually feel like a whole game?) and basically everything else I hate in modern gaming. Yes, that's a lot of conclusions to jump to over a title, but they could have just put a '4' on there, so...

Also: THAT'S NOT WHAT BINARY LOOKS LIKE ARGH

X !!!

And that's the best Captain Marvel has looked in a while. The comics and cartoons should take note .

[Derek Metaltron]

Injustice at least managed to have a good story and proved you didn't have to crossover with MK (or Capcom) all the time to make something work. And until Marvel does a proper solid fighting game for consoles without wasting half the roster on Capcom characters, never.

It's called Infinite because the Infinity Gems will be a major gameplay element.

Good news: Maybe my worries are for nothing!

Bad news: This sounds suspiciously like the Street Fighter X Tekken gem system that served only to get in the way.

Capcom are the best fighting game makers of all time. Its a privilege they make these games for Marvel. They've made two amazing only Marvel heroes fighting games already that are classics of the genre.


Marvel & Capcom are perfect for each other.

[Derek Metaltron]

I admit the idea of the Infinity Gems, having 2 characters team up against 2 more, and a story mode, all show promise. I just know it's a little petty but I really do wish that we didn't have to keep sharing our beloved Marvel characters with Capcom ones just because. Marvel needs a good solo fighting game these days to match DC with Injustice.

That might have been true once, but Capcom hasn't had solid and beloved franchises in years. Resident Evil struggles to stay relevant until the reboot, most of the character in MVC games haven't had games in ages, and Street Fighter has to crossover with Tekken to get a decent cent. It's lucky that Marvel think it still NEEDS Capcom to team up in a fighting game, because they don't. As for X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes, those were decades ago. If Capcom gets off its butt and makes a decent Marvel only fighting game without the need to shove its own characters up our butts, I'll be happier.

I think it will be like Marvel Superheroes. This game sounds like MSH with 2v2 and Capcom characters.

One thing is confusing me. The trailer there says it'll be on Xbox One as well as Steam but the news about the game is all saying its PS4 exclusive. Which one is it?

It'll be on Xbox One and Steam as well.

The port of Ultimate MvC 3 is a timed exclusive and will be available elsewhere later on.

Resident Evil struggles to stay relevant until the reboot,

False. REmake HD was the fastest selling PSN title ever and has sold over a million copies. RE0 HD has sold over 800K to date. Resident Evil 5&6 are respectively #1 and #2 in sales for Capcom games all time. The good sales are the reason why they are still entertaining making remakes of their classic games(Like the RE2 remake that's in development). RE is one of the few good things Capcom has going for itself, but I digress for various reasons.

most of the character in MVC games haven't had games in ages

How is this bad? It keeps lesser known characters alive.

Street Fighter has to crossover with Tekken to get a decent cent.

SFxT sold like crap and the game was dead competitively months after release. They were doing okay with SF4 on its own. Also it was a deal between Capcom & Namco so expect TxSF once Namco has dealt with Tekken 7's console port. SF5 hasn't sold what they wanted, but they don't have the Xbox playerbase either unlike SF4.

It's lucky that Marvel think it still NEEDS Capcom to team up in a fighting game, because they don't.

True

If Capcom gets off its butt and makes a decent Marvel only fighting game without the need to shove its own characters up our butts, I'll be happier.

Why shouldn't they? Just because you don't like Capcom characters doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.

I don't like anything about Injustice yet I love the Capcom games and love the fact that two companies I like are doing a vs game again, Marvel and Capcom both know this game will have a far longer shelf life then Injustice since every major FGC tournament will have this game in the marquee where Injustice can't make that claim
