Offering up a few more details for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Seth Killian and Christian Svensson put in some time recently on the Unity Boards. Seth talks about how Iron Man received multiple changes and that he has more tools and Svensson covers topics like DLC and YouTube video sharing.Can you confirm Iron Man will have a new move in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3? — Vuru
Seth Killian: We're letting people play and discover for themselves, but not giving out more details than were shared at the panel directly.
I will say that Iron Man has undergone a number of changes that, to me, make him feel quite different. Some will love the new Iron Man, some may want the old one back, but in my opinion right now his overall arsenal is more effective rather than making him play like a poor-man's Magneto with a better assist.
Why won't UMvC3 have YouTube sharing? — Chaosx2
Svensson: The team focused on maximizing content for UMvC3 that benefits all buyers. If you'd like a few less characters we could have probably worked something out but let's not make out like YouTube uploads are a "standard feature" by any means and more content is more "bang" for the buck.
And such an implementation is definitely non-trivial. It took a long time to work it out on SF3:OE.
And no, you can't just pick up what we did in SF3:OE and plug it into MvC3 and have it work. It doesn't work that way.
It's a lose/lose situation. You people complain about there still being a DLC price for Jill and Shuma, but if they made them free and ready to play for UMvC3, you'd be crying about how much they cheated you out of $10. — Mr. Reaper
Svensson: As stated in multiple interviews literally the week of announcement, existing DLC for "Vanilla" will be made available on Ultimate (except shadow modes which won't carry over). If you bought it for Vanilla, you will have access to it on Ultimate.
It is the exact same approach we took with DLC on SFIV to SSFIV and from SSFIV to Arcade Edition.
Buy once, use on multiple games.
Is Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the PlayStation Vita a legit thing, from the French Amazon site? — Sean
Svensson: Rumors and speculation. No news sorry.
Does Keiji Inafune own Mega Man? — Cirno
Svensson: [...] No, he does not.
Is there any chance that version 2012 for Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition will include any other extras besides balancing? — Chaosx2
Svensson: At the moment the focus is solely on the rebalance. No additional features or content are currently planned. [Editor's note: Sven put an emphasis on the word currently here, so like most things, it doesn't sound like this is set in stone.]
How can we let Capcom know we want a new Darkstalkers made?
Svensson: Just keep doing what you're doing - evangelize the brand, make fan art, fan fiction, talk about it on forums, expose your friends to it and keep raising its profile.
Would Capcom let another developer make Darstalkers 4? — Jody
Svensson: Without talking about the possibility of Darkstalkers but in the name of shedding light, we do work with external teams on our fighting games currently (Eighting and Dimps specifically though Iron Galaxy probably also qualifies at this point). That said, these outside shops are directed and backed up by a significant amount of internal resources too for character design, creative direction, game design, balancing, etc.
Pretty stupid to remove Iron Man's double jump when he wasn't a highly played character in the first place. He needed buffs, not nerfs.
@2
He's just laying down all the facts so there's no confusion about it later. Simply saying:
"Oh, it took a long time for it to happen for 3SOE, so we can't promise it again for another title." <-- Something like that won't hold up for the audience compared to him saying what he said. He told it like it IS, rather than him trying to smooth it over, so there'll be less complaining about it later.
Personally, I would rather they fully explain it instead of skimping on facts.
@5+6
Ahhhahahaha, I'm not going to buy the game for a lot of reasons. Him acting like what they're doing is a favor to us all and making us choose, "twelve characters or youtube sharing(or other modes and features)" just adds to it stating that he doesn't give a crap about how much he alienates or pushes away consumers who feel they didn't get what they deserved the first time they bought it, namely the fans. Everyone(save for maybe Viscant) hates the original and then a spokesman for the company acts like that. I understand that programming and development is tough and you can't just copy and paste things from one game to another. I'm all for the truth and it's unpleasant sometimes, but the fact of the matter is is that they shat out a game and are milking it.
I'm not totally against giving Capcom my money cause I bought all three iterations of SF4 on disc(and I got the two sick bobbleheads with AE). But this definitely made me leery of Capcom and how they do business.
UMvC3 is gona be the real MvC3 im getting it day one.
i really doubt darkstalkers can replace/overtake ssf4ae or umvc3. so there really is no reason to make it. If I'm capcom, why would I make a game that won't really stick.
A lot of casual gamers went to play SF4 because of the familiarity to street fighter.
A lot of casual gamers went to play MVC3 because of familiarity with the comic book characters.
@12
Hey, we all got our issues, and you got yours. For whatever reason you have for not getting UMvC3, that's you, but you should already know how Capcom does business, we all do.
The only thing that makes us different is whether we but it at launch or wait for a copy used.
I just want one. Alex! SF4 can transition into SF3 nicely by adding the SF3 Main Character to 4!
And while I'm very happy with the stages in 4, when you play this game as often as I do they tend to get a bit old.
I purpose that the Re-Balance add Alex for Free. I'd gladly pay for him, but why not toss us a bone. They do it for iPhone all the time! (thnx for that btw).
Then sell a Stage DLC pack, and sell a few new costume packs. Why not? The game is awesome and I'll take all the content I can get my grubby little digits on!
But for the love of GOD please round it out to 40 characters and add Alex! I was so sure he'd be in AE that I made a custom AE stick with SSF4 Alex/Ryu on the bottom plexi!
I've got man love for Alex! Lol, jk... But my son is named Alex!
I'd be down for Alex also, but tbh I'd be thrilled with a couple more levels(please rooftop stage!).
I have an outrages idea that most of the people on this comment board will probably flame me for, but here it goes...
Capcom, you can take more time to make a game, then you could actually sell us a game that has more modes, features, AND the characters. Not sure about the rest of the community, but I'd rather have a really good game and wait longer, but that's just me.
Complaining about Iron Man is pre-emptive, I highly doubt Air Dash cancelable normals is a nerf in any way. His Tri-Dash will still be good, probably just not as fast.
Who knows how they tweaked the properties on his moves?
Also, Iron Man is hardly the worst character in the game, I rather like him.
They definitely put a lot more content in UMVC3 than from SF IV to SSF IV, including new moves for most characters it seems. I am hoping for an announcement of a SF V for Q1 2013. And i hope when it happens we will get UMVC3/SSF IV content from the start
@#9
Since you where asleep or raging you may have missed the other things within the new version so here you go.
New features
12 new Characters
8 new levels to go with the other 8 levels making it 16
New colors
DLC modes
New Outfits
Spectator mode
Improved Online
New Modes outside of Online
New Moves for characters ( like Wesker throwing his glasses & starts moving really fast ala RE5's Chris & Sheva vs. Wesker final battle. )
Game has been rebalanced
New achievements
I wonder if all the costumes purchased for all versions of SF4 will carry over to SFxTKN.. that would be a fun extra.
They are the same models after all right?
Awesome, Iron Man represent! I've been trying to make him work since day 1, and I always look forward to new Iron Man combo vids and tricks. Can't wait for UMVC3.
I love Capcom, but I admit them advertising an ultimate edition 5 months away from releasing the original makes me feel iffy. Why did they not just spent more time developing the first one so it'll have these improvements in the first place? And IF the answer to that question is they needed feedback on the first one to develop the second one, that would make me very angry. Because then, all the first one was just a rough draft, a beta, and one that costed 50 bucks at that.
Theories and opinions on the process itself aside. So far the only thing I'm interested in, out of the new online features are the online improvements. The new characters except like 2 bore me to tears, but that's just my taste. Oh and do anyone know anything about extra features for people who owns the original?
#32
There is no new anything for MvC3 because once the new one comes out all work goes to that & MvC3'S online servers shut down forever. So if your a casual player who doesn't want the new game your screwed so to speak, Hardcore players or tournament players on the other hand who need the lastest version to stay on top of the game will buy the newest version of the game & go on about their day like normal because that's how they roll.
We're getting news on Iron Man, Felicia, Ryu, but even CAPCOM's forgotten poor ol' Chun-Li, it seems.
@9 Lol if you think new characters and rebalancing are the only things this game is gonna have,then you're sadly mistaking.
@43: So why doesn't anyone try her out? Or Spiderman, or Thor, or Joe, or M.O.D.O.K., or Zero, or Deadpool, or Captain America, or X-23 or Super Skrull?
I know there's a long way to go until November, but everyone's just focusing on the new characters or the former top-tier ones...
@#44
No one wants to get kicked off prematurely by messing around with old underused characters, and people are wanting to make sure their investments in character choices arent compromised in the new version. Plus who uses chun li? this isnt 3s LOL
@45: Yes, because people only ever used one of the mascots of the entire Street Fighter franchise in 3rd Strike.
Still, the rest of your argument makes all too much sense. I guess we'll have to wait until AFTER November to see what CAPCOM's done to more than half of the cast...
@#46
Yea waiting for a half-hour to an hour or so after playing for like 1-2 minutes isnt a fun deal.People usually dont wanna let you try anything cause they dont wanna take the chance of having to wait either. hawkeye got so many shots yet only seen the weight shot and poison arrow >:( dunno about the other 10+ or so status effects.
btw my chun li comment was sarcastic in nature. Just for her being a mascot and usuable in most games, i dont get why there arent alot of chun players in general just only in 3s. Thus the comment i made.
This kinda addresses my question from the previous thread.
PLEASE GOD ADD ALEX AND NEW STAGES TO AE!
