A stick is on preorder and there's info as to even achievements. Wow fighters are coming back big time.

No need to hunt down those ultra exclusive and expensive xbox and PS2 versions.

Those Hraps, TE, Se and DIY sticks are back and will be staying for a while.

woot! I might consider selling my SF4 TE and get the MVC2 version instead.

those overpriced TE aren't going to last long.

EDIT: lets hope it's not JUST a port. I'd like to see new redrawn sprites.

the game was also mentioned by the ESRB as well awhile ago so I'm thinking it is coming. Fighting games aren't completely resurging as even SFIV sales are overly impressive considering but this one could outsell that. Its a hugely popular game that Capcom should at least make it like SF2HD where its redrawn and actually in HD.

I was going to buy a stick for SFIV, but it took so long for them to appear, that I've basically forgotten about it and don't really care anymore.

It's just a port I think. Should be out by July 17th as that's when Evo is and they slipped up and said they'd be playing it on PS3 a while ago before quickly changing it.

**** I was hoping that there would at least be MVC2HD Remix, I think that was hinted at.

A straight port is disappointing. Are they at least taking out all of the glitches and infinites that riddled the dreamcast one?

I guess character re-balancing is a far off dream just like MVC3.

It took them almost 2 years for redraw ssf2 hd remix. It would take probably 4-5 years to redraw mvc2. Doubt it unless they've had a secret team at udon redrawing it all for the past 3-4 years.

Redrawing 56 characters is going to take a lot longer than the 17 from Street Fighter 2.

I hope then have everything unlocked fro the start because I remember it taking awhile to unlock everything. And hopefully good sales might push Capcom to make MvC3.

Soooo... who wants to start planning the gameshares :)

HD remake HD remake HD remake HD remake

It's possible, since SSF2 was probably done by a much smaller team than whatever they might have cooking up for the next HD remake fighter, and given the success of what happened last time, it's in their best interests to balloon the team and work on the next one.

Actually, the fact that it's not getting a wii release hints that it MAY be HD remix right? It's not like capcom has a sour relationship w/ nintendo.

What other reason would capcom have for not putting it on wii??

MvC2 never got emulated from what I read, something about the 3D backgrounds being too difficult to process. Guess you mean you've been playing MvC1 which is still pretty good.

I seem to recall Capcom had a thread on their forum asking which games fans wanted to bring back in HD. I thought this was gonna be it? So it's not HD? :/

I hope they'll at least add some kind of filter to smooth out the sprites. I just bought Samshow Anthology, I to V has a nice filter, while VI has none, which is so hard to look at cuz of the blockiness.

I all can say is it's about f'ing time! I for one would love to see MvC2 and even MvC 1 on the XBL Marketplace. I wonder how many points it would be? My guess is like 1,500 at least and it would well worth it.

Just hope they make a HD version of it or a arcade perfect port. I still play my Dreamcast version and use my fight stick

Fiasco only really applies to Canadians, sadly. ;) Besides, MC is probably all like "omg we lerned frm our mistakes plz give su anouther chance plzplzplz!" and Capcom, being that they probably don't really care if MC's reputation or supply lines are actually capable of handling the demand - so long as they make a high enough bid for Capcom's endorsement and license - just said yes to the money.

It took them that long because they started the project over half way through the original completion. SF2HD originally was just going to be a port as well, but they figured they might as well re-do the game.

Also, who knows how long they've been working on this game. They could have been working on it for the past year as well. Either way, it shouldn't take as long to finish.

HDremix felt like another game entirely to me...it didnt feel like the Original SSF2T...

Cheap moves. I don't know anything about fighting games (I'm casual in fighters), but whenever I played against a Venom they would do this one move that attacks from below and takes up like the whole screen. Unblockable.

Awesome game. This was my favourite fighting game aside from SF2. The animation in this game on Dreamcast was amazing at the time. I would honestly be happy with more 2D/early 3D fighter re-releases/upgrades than new fighting games that cost $70.;)

:lol:

I can so sympathize. Back when I had a PS1 I had one of the older controllers without analog sticks and rumble and one of the newer ones with, and I'd always give guests the old one whenever we played a fighter or something. Not as bad as I remember though, since way back when the first MK/SF2 came out there was this one kid who had it so everybody went to his house to play, and he'd make up all kinds of stupid rules that we weren't allowed to use hadoukens, low sweeps and Scorpion/Sub Zero - y'know, because it was his game and whatnot.

Venom and hiryu are utter trash at this game lol. Venom has no unblockable attacks, hiryu dies in like 3 attacks and is only good if professionally used w/ dr.doom. Of the 56 characters only about 12 are good, and they are so good in fact that they are broken.

Competitively, it's not at all a 56 character game. Which is why I WISH they would rebalance it. I would much rather prefer a rebalance vs. HD but to balance a 50+ character game would be impossible and drawing HD sprites would be the same.

At the VERY least, they should take out those damn infinites and glitches!

you do realize alot of those infinites are against certain characters and/or in the corner? im also sure they are doing those infinites against a second player who isnt controlling the characters hence no chances of rolls.

I thought Activision has the exclusive rights to make Marvel games. While Capcom is releasing this game again, I don't think they're allowed to release any new material/new games with Marvel characters.

I actually missed those unique endings, as cheesy as they were, like Akuma's involvement with Wolverine's past. That all ended (or got ignored) by the time MvC1 and MvC2 were released though.

they might but Capcom can probably go to Activision and work out some deal that would be beneficial to both camps.

Considering the popularity of this game among fight fans, it would sell pretty well in my opinion on all platforms. They could easily just do the simple port or just have the two camps redraw the sprites for the HD look.

I don't think any of those infinites actually work. I think they might only work on the Japanese version which was the first release but it isn't the version played in Canada (I know I've tried to do those infinites; impossible). I was so lucky to find a guy in grade 9 that actually owned the game. I paid him $10 to borrow for like 2 days, burned 3 copies of the game and then gave it back.

I think a character rebalance is needed, try playing someone with any of the street fighter characters and you'll get laughed at. Like seriously, Servbot is the most waste of a character...

well you called strider out specifically when theres like 40 other characters you can't use competitively at all, at least clockw0rk hangs with the top players. saying hes nothing special when hes going up against msp etc
besides hes got an infinate against sentinel....he just takes damage like a girl

I said that because someone before me were saying that strider, venom and cable were overpowered.

Strider is barely usable, but not overpowered. Overpowered would be cable, ironman, storm, sentinel etc.

Venom is laughed at sorry, which is sad because he's a character I like (along with spiderman). But spiderman can't keep up in this game along with about 80% of the cast.

I think we need to relax...not everyone who plays MvC2 is pro....but some characters are still "cheap" for the not-so-serious casual players...cable is a dirtbag..in the hands of anyone..regardless of skill...but this is talkin if the players are same skill level.obviously..a more verteran player will destroy the not so good player..

yep 100% true. At the end of the times I played this we ended up banning cable because it turned into who could pull of air hyper-viper beam first. Such a broken super, so ez to do, comes out so fast, no lag before or after, can combo 3 in a row easily, decent chip dmg, etc etc etc.

It depends on the skill level whether cable is cheap or not. If two noobs are playing than yeah hes cheap because all they try to do is shoot the gun or use his special. But once you get good, cable with sentinel assist is REALLY cheap cause its just a bunch of spamming so the other player just ends up blocking in the corner unless hes really quick.

Excuse my ignorance, but why (or how) is this game become so popular within the fighters community? :confused: Is it the "infinity combo"-mechanism that they adore, the fast-pace fighting style........can somebody tell me?

game is hectic, fun and flashy to watch lol...combos are always a big+ ...oh and MvC2 is famous for trash talking during matches lol

honestly, I think the appeal is in the 54 character roster, not the actual fighting mechanics (for most people anyways). The reason I FIRST got into this game was because I couldn't wait to play a street fighter like game with my favorite x-men. The larger than life supers and combos are also very appealing, whereas street fighter games are like 10 hits max, and the moves aren't that flashy. I think 54 is also the highest # of characters in a 2d fighter (I may be wrong on that though). Mugen doesn't count obviously.

I think I'll get this for XBL. I bet they'll charge 1600 points for this though and considering I've already played it on DC and PS2, that price would be crazy. But the online multiplayer should make it worth it I guess. Arcade games shouldn't be anything more than 1200 points IMO, the same price as the Xbox Originals.

I'm more of a "Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo"-guy, and I also play some SF Alpha games and SF3 games, so that's why I'm asking.

Even though I'm not a big fan of "Super-unnatural" fighting combat game like this one, I applaud Capcom for releasing it to the current generation of players, and to be able to turn an old franchise into something new again. :cheesygrin:

I'm with you on that. Despite being a comic book fan when I was younger, I could never get into these "Super-unnatural" games (as you call them). Especially ones with ridiculous 100 hit super combos that take up the entire screen. They are quite amusing to watch, but I don't think I'd spend any money on these games (personal preference coupled with my poor reflexes and timing :( ).

Dinger_dude

Apr 27th, 2009, 06:53 PM

What's worse about this 100 hit combos is that you have to be on hold for about a minute then you get to get back into the game. Being patient is not what you want in a fighting game. :lol:

Anyho, 2 more hours...........

From those screens, it does look smoother and not as pixelated as the arcade version. Not bad at all.

With SFIV at it's prime right now, I wonder how this game will do.

demo on the 30th...only for ps3 though. I'll probably end up getting it even though it won't see as much play time as sfiv

Details of demo from PS blog:

* Two-player local matches
* Six available characters – Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine
* Seven selectable environments
* Upscaled 1080p graphics
* Widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio
* Two graphic filter options for character sprites
* And other cool options to check out

I put MvC2 in my PS2 and started playing yesterday and damn I suck now, it was embarrassing:mad:. An arcade pad (or w/e its called) is essential for this game, using a controller is too hard and takes away from the whole arcade-like experience.

i don't see anything wrong with selling the game higher than what the retail price was. it's all supply and demand, even if the guy put it at $1 starting price, people who want the game will bid it up to $70+ level. price will drop when no one wants to pay as much. same can be said for many other collectible items.

its not a exclusive deal or anything. it was mentioned in one of the links someone posted a few posts before mine.

They mentioned something about 360 demos being the full game and users need to purchase keys to unlock the full game from the demo. They also mentioned that demos and games go through the same verification process. Basically I read it as its too much trouble to release a demo on 360 this early.

MadCatz knows that they will get bought up easily, so they'll make them. They probably won't have any Marvel characters on them though, as they would need licensing from Marvel for that.

Capcom didn't get the Marvel license back, they just worked out a deal to sell the catalogue title on the PSN/XBOX Live. Capcom even said that the reason they aren't releasing it retail, or making a sequel, is because they don't have the license.

Is there any news regarding FightSticks or FightPads for the upcoming release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2?

Seth: Ironically, although the rumors about the game were in fact true, the stick postings were 100% fake. It was either a mockup composed by the site themselves to generate traffic (it worked), or they were fooled too and pulled the image from someplace else. It didn't come from Mad Catz, and it certainly didn't come from Capcom.

They would be cool though, yeah?

Sven: Seth is right. But I don't want to rule out the possibility of something special in this realm if there are enough people who want to see something like this come to fruition.

I believe you should only expect upscalers. I saw a couple of pictures with different options provided by the game that only smooth out the jaggies. Its an improvement but not on the HD quality scale.

Capcom does not have a license thus a PORT was probably the only option.

They already said it's not going to be a remake, it's a straight port with a screen filter that you can change anytime. It might look better because of the filter but it's going to be the exact same game. Even the widescreen is only a background extension, to give the appearance of widescreen. The playable area is still restricted to the standard 4:3 width.

Forward the vid to 1:15. That is insane.

yeah try pulling that off in a real match though. i saw an opportunity in the video where the player getting killed could have rolled and stopped the combo.

You can play all of those on a computer sans MGS4, most with better graphics and more gameplay options.

Plus you always need to update your PC to get parts and so forth. You know what you get with a 360. Also most games come out on the console well before the PC ports ala Bioshock.

I would rather pay $700-$800 for a 360 and PS3 then $1,000+ for a PC which I would have to update in 6 or less months. Yes PC's have better graphics in some cases but you do need to update them a lot.

Yes, but can you use your X360 or PS3 to word process? Edit photos and videos? View Powerpoints?

My point is that PC's arent only used JUST for gaming, they have much much much more functions than an x360 or ps3. And you dont need to update your computer every 6 months unless your a hardcore enthusiast who needs to have the newest technology. Ive considered myself to be one, and i haven't upgraded in about a year and i can play all my games (L4D, CSS, ect.) at highest on 1600x1200, and yet my rig cost me less than 800 to make at that time.

Yeah I agree with that. I mean sure having a multimedia machine is a great thing but for games I want a system to do that not everything else. Also look at the games there is a lot newer stuff on the console opposed to the PC's. Not saying PC's are a terrible system for games at all. I would much rather have my Mac for my day to day stuff and my 360 for games.

I used to be Pure PC Gaming, but The costs of videocards are too high. Granted, they're cheaper compared to few years ago, but still too pricey to have to update every 2 or 3 years.

Another aspect that I have found with the PS3 compared to gaming on PC, is that I find that having the PS3 to be much more of social gathering way more than having a PC.

yeah, i can hook up the PC to my TV, and I have the two 360 controllers that work natively. But, this past year, people having been inviting themselves over and over every week to play littlebigplanet, Street Fighter 4 or MLB the Show, and now the demo of MvC2.

For some reason, in my home, and I really don't mind it at all, that it's pretty much common practice for people to come over to play a few rounds of SF4 or littlebigplanet and then go out to dinner/concert/baseball or hockey game.

That interest was never there when I had PC games, nobody cared what games I had. The PC, is just not a social gathering machine, unless you consider playing people online a social thing, because I don't.

And littlebigplanet and MLB the Show is only on PS3.

I grew up with Chuck e Cheese, and nothing is more fun than playing with people that are literally beside you. My GF, that never plays any videogames got into lbp, and SF4, to a point where even her female friends come over and play it with her. Never anything like that happened with the PC.
