Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[Yun0]

Are these images proof that Frank West is in MvC3?

 


Svensson: Sorry guys, not commenting beyond a word of warning... do not assume.


Also, an image of what is supposedly the Japanese cover art for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 also surfaced. Here's the graphic.
 

i said it before: WEST WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CHARS THAT ENTERED THE ROASTER

I know i'm getting annoying with stuff but  I found this on Twitter from Lupinko. The one who told everyone about Jill and Shuma as DLC. Well he placed on his twitter: http://twitter.com/lupinko

Fake? Real? your input?

fake

Yun0...No he wasn't. If he was, he'd be in the Japanese cover art, and I certainly don't see him.

As for the rumor mill developments, I'm gonna say it's half and half. The truth usually lies between the two different extremes. Though I'm surprised this guy isn't couching his claims in weasel terms like "they're considering" or "they're planning" so that if he's proven wrong, he has an easy denial.

In a recent blog entry for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, assistant producer, Akihito Kadowaki mentions that the sound effects in the game have underwent an overhaul, along with adding that it was rude of Capcom to imply Dormammu was the last boss in the trailers.

Akihito also mentions that they're putting out new information on a monthly basis, following along with an an earlier statement by Ryota Niitsuma that they will be revealing at least two new characters every month up until the game is released in February.

Here's a copy and paste from the translation, hit this link to read the entire write up on Capcom-Unity.

She-Hulk was supposed to have been revealed earlier than now, but it took us a while to get her up and running, which is why we waited until now for her reveal.

Some of you may remember, but I wrote on the official blog back in August about the revealing some new characters, and She-Hulk was supposed to be announced. However we weren't able to meet some of our scheduled deadlines, but we actually had work done on Dormammu finished, so we quickly decided to reveal him instead.

We actually had Dormammu debut in a kind of a "final boss" appearance, and we were planning to pull everyone along until the end. Now that I think about it, that was kind of rude of us, sorry, haha.

We'll be back with even more information in just a little while, and perhaps even more new Capcom characters and sizzling Marvel superheroes!

As we get closer to the February 15th launch date for MVC3, Kadowaki-san has updated the dev blog with recaps of a few recent announcements, goofiness with She-Hulk snafu that revealed Dormammu, and the big D's "is he/isn't he?" role as MVC3 Final Boss!

--
Hey everyone, this is Kadowaki!
Sorry for not updating the blog in a while, this is actually the first time I've written anything since the site got its major update.


What do you guys think about the new official site?
The soundtrack we've put together for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is really something, and since we started development of the game, we really wanted to give everyone a chance to listen to the character-specific soundtracks.
The sound effects have also been changed (we haven't said anything about them yet, so stay tuned!)

We've been putting out new information on a monthly basis, and I hope everyone is getting more and more excited about the game. The team is approaching the final stages of development, on our way to our February release date. We're riding a wave of excitement and hype as we finish up the game!

What did everyone think about the surprise announcement this week? We finally announced two new characters, She-Hulk and Zero from the Mega Man X series. We also announced special downloadable characters, Shuma-Gorath from the Doctor Strange series, and Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil series!

We're also proud to reveal the Demon Village stage, and several modes, most notably the License Card, where you can manage your achievement progress and more! The latter was covered by our good friends at Famitsu magazine this week!

Players can purchase the downloadable characters online, so for those who haven't connected their systems to the internet, please do so once you have purchased the game! You'll be able to play against other people online as well as do many more things!

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is turning out to be a fully loaded game that will live up to the hype, I just hope that all of you fans out there can hold out just a little bit longer!

P.S. She-Hulk was supposed to have been revealed earlier than now, but it took us a while to get her up and running, which is why we waited until now for her reveal.

Some of you may remember, but I wrote on the official blog back in August about the revealing some new characters, and She-Hulk was supposed to be announced.

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201011/30036323.html (in Japanese)

Famitsu.com has posted an interview with Marvel vs Capcom 3 producer Ryota Niitsuma. Here's a bit of what Niitsuma had to say about the upcoming fighter.

On How MVC3 Got Its Start

Ten years back, Capcom shifted from a focus on fighting games to a focus on action games. However, recently, they've decided to give a try at fighting games once more, and Marvel VS Capcom 3 was one title in that lineup.

Niitsuma stressed that MVC3 did not come about because of the success of Street Fighter IV. MVC3 an SFIV started as separate projects. In fact, Capcom has been undergoing negotiations with Marvel for years.

On the MVC3 Staff

Famitsu asked if MVC3 is being made by the same people who made Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Niitsuma, producer of that title as well, replied that the MVC3 staff includes some people who worked on both games, some people who worked on Marvel vs Capcom 2, and some completely new members owing to the use of the MT Framework engine.

People who worked on MVC2's planning and direction are now in a different section within Capcom but are crossing the sectional divide and giving advice to the MVC3 staff as they continue to work on their own products.

On Characters

MVC2 used 2D sprite character visuals. MVC3 uses fully 3D visuals. The switch was very difficult, said Niitsuma. Trying to directly convert the 2D spite images to 3D models results in models with strange balance.

Asked to name the character who was most difficult to recreate for MVC3, Niitsuma replied that amongst the characters who have been revealed so far, Okami's Amaterasu takes the crown.

In choosing the characters for the game, the concept was not that they'd make new versions of the MVC2 characters, but instead that they'd make selections from the action games Capcom has released in the 10 years since MVC2. The new characters were given priority. However, this approach on its own would have ended up with poor balance in terms of speed, power, gender and other areas, so they used the MVC2 characters to support the cast.

Famitsu asked if a Monster Hunter character would appear in the game (Monster Hunter is big news around Japan at present as Monster Hunter Portable 3rd sees release tomorrow). Not this time, replied Niitsuma. While they considered it, the atmospheres for the two games are too different.

For the Marvel side of the characters, in general Capcom made the suggestions. The process actually didn't go totally smoothly. Instead of Capcom getting to use the characters that they wanted, they had to sometimes negotiate with Marvel about various possibilities. The meetings about character selection were a lot of fun though, said Niitsuma.

In terms of character counts, Niitsuma said that MVC3 will have "30 + alpha" characters. This, Famitsu noted, means that as of 11/30, there are still about 10 characters waiting to be announced. Will some of these characters take the form of download contents? Niitsuma replied that we'll have to wait for the characters' announcements.

On Music

All characters will have their own music track. Niitsuma himself is checking each BGM, and he mentioned BGM was being one particular area he'd like players to take note of. It looks like he was pretty picky, as he had the music staff do five or six retakes for some tracks.

In most cases, the musical tracks are arranged versions of the music form the original works. The tracks for the Marvel characters are in general arranged versions of the MVC2 tracks.

On Network Play

Niitsuma said that tuning the game is taking quite some time, in part due to the permutations that result from having 3 on 3 battles. Also taking up time is tuning the game's network component. Famitsu replied that Capcom has yet to discuss the game's network options and asked if there would be support for six players -- that is, a human player controlling each of the six battle participants. This was actually under consideration in the game's planning phase, but because of hurdles involving networking problems and so-forth, they did not include it this time.

In Closing...

Development on MVC3 took the approach of building a solid base and then adding content on top of that. The staff took this approach because having a lot of content wouldn't make for much of a fighting game if the balance was bad or the network play was no good.

Niitsuma said that with a solid base in place, if there are future developments, he'd like to place a greater focus on the content part of the game. Of course, it all depends on if MVC3 sells

[Rage]

what would be nice is a 3 on 3 where 6 players are playing. EAach person chooses one character. it would reqire really good team work in this mode.

Guy sent in word about a Tweet Ryota Niitsuma posted not too long ago explaining that Strider Hiryu would not be a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Here's a translation.

Strider Hiryu is popular overseas as well, we took him out of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, because he didn't fit in with its concept.

flying dragon is a popular abroad. That has been removed because it was different this time concept.

[SanjiSasuke]

[HyperVoiceActing]

So...which fake roster is looking more closer now?

[JDubbs]

Strider fits in more so than half the characters on the game already!!!!

[Rabbitxpp]
