Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Confirmed

[The-Excel]

[Edit]

I'm as skeptical as anyone, especially since I haven't seen this posted here yet, but multiple sources are in agreement that this is extremely likely, if not actually happening. Details are to be revealed next week.

Some quotes in case those links fall off the face of the earth:

I'm going to go ahead and call this one, no more speculation - Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be hitting next-gen consoles in late 2010 or early 2011, and that's that! Personally I don't have anything against these over-the-top extravagant trips that the publishers are doing, as I've been to many of them. And almost always there is a small sense of our "impressions" coming away jaded due to the epic situation around us; I can't think of a worse place for that type of feelings to take place other than Hawaii. Take it for what it is, some it may not bother at all, other writers will pop-out 9s and 10s for anything Capcom releases this year. It's an unfortunate aspect of the video game industry but it happens everyday. As does it happen with the exclusive review debacle, if you see an "exclusive" review just go ahead and run now; I have been in this business for 8+ years and knows exactly what happens with things like that; all I can say is don't trust the reviewer (scores have been set way out before the game arrived). Now back to that official Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (stand-alone disc) announcement that I was screaming, yep it's true, rejoice!

There's an embargo on the details, so you won't be seeing screen shots, movies and other things until early next week, but here's the notes they were able to get together.

• Confirmed characters so far are Wolverine, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Magneto, Storm and a few others will return.

• The Marvel vs. Capcom 3 development team said they will be blowing fans out of the water with the sheer number of characters this game includes on the disc.

• This will be another 2D fighter — gameplay-wise — but will be something of a cross between the original Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Street Fighter 4.

• The rumored release date is late 2010 or early 2011 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, no plans right now for other systems.

• The game will run in 1080p resolution.

• It will be a disc-based release.

• Apparently the game will have unlockables again.

• Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be playable at this year's E3 which is held on June 15 - 17th.

So who do you want to be in it?

So, how exactly does one combine SF IV and MvC? Give them Ultras?

And I don't really care about the game unless Alex is in it.

O...M...F...G, THE DAY IS HERE!

One person - Thor.

@Wedge - Love the avatar, i use Dan myself. People laugh when i pick him =\.

Deadpool and Thor need to be in this. Just, yes. Make Deadpool a mix between Spidey and Cable, and Thor a sort of flying mini-hulk.

[Hector Garfria]

I wanna play as carnage.

Make it happen.

This.

I'll suck at this like I do every other fighting game, but damned if it won't be a lot of fun.

[Shin Oni]

I'm more wondering if Capcom actually became unlazy and made everyone new sprites...

[Triiipledot]

I recently noticed how bad i am at MvC2 on Xbox, arcade i thought i was decent, im using a fight pad too .

Hopefully the changes of making it more like SF4 will be good, wonder if they will keep the 3 character per side thing or what.

[FWhipple]

Pharaoh Man....


More realistically, Dante

Marvel VS Capcom VS Mortal Kombat VS DC VS Soul Caliber VS Star Wars.

MAKE IT HAPPEN DEVS.

The Marvel vs. Capcom 3 development team said they will be blowing fans out of the water with the sheer number of characters this game includes on the disc.

I know this will undoubtedly unbalance the game, but I'll accept the trade-off for the potentially awesome new additions.

I remember Johnathan Holmes expressed fear in his TvC review that it might be the last game that Viewtiful Joe would appear in, but I think this could be another chance.

So, how exactly does one combine SF IV and MvC? Give them Ultras?

I kinda took it to mean there would be a mix of SF IV's graphic style with MvC's mechanics.

I'm pretty sure they mean making the game in 2.5D like SFIV. Alex should definitely be in it though.

I want to see some Rival Schools or Red Earth characters make the cut this time though. Dante, Viewtiful Joe and the barbarian from Quiz and Dragons should be in it too.

[Aerox]

I like that people are deciding all these facts about the game because some sketchy website made some shit up and posted it

I like that you decided to rain on our parade.

You just gotta believe!

[Necro-B.A.B.S.]

What kinda of art style would come with this? The comic book looking style of MVc 2 or something akin to SF4?

I imagine something akin to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's art style, but in 1080p.

[King Süshi]

No RDJ Iron Man, no buy

[sleepingagain]

unless they seriously fuck it up, im going to buy.

[Harris Bueller]

I'd figure TvC style graphics. As much as I'd love some kick-ass sprites it won't happen unless Capcom outsources to Vanillaware or something. I'd be pretty much happy with anything other than SFIV art though. While it has grown on me a bit the character models are pretty god damn ugly.

FYI: the MvC games were all designed by CRMK (also known as Bengus)






And Tatsunoko was designed by Shinkiro:
