[I-hate-u]

It's literally a pale version of Ryu's MVC3 character model minus the shadows.

 

[Renekton]

Aren't the gems closer to MSH than SFxT?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Would be nice for Capcom to put this out in the Holiday season next year a game like this would benefit greatly

 

[ISOM]

This looks good. Don't really care about the opinions of hardcore fighter fans, as a casual I could see getting this.

X has his Shoryuken again.

DOPE!!

 

[Zackat]

They need to do something about Ryu's model, other than that I look forward to it.

 

[Xamtheking]

Aren't the gems closer to MSH than SFxT?

Yes, but many people here are dumb and don't know about MSH and how dope it is

 

[Auxiliary Bro]

Reminds me more of Tatsunoko vs Capcom than Street Fighter x Tekken. Anyway, it looks rough around the edges for sure but this is hype! Love the backdrop, love the supers. So glad to have Marvel back.

 

[Hoje0308]

I'm digging the look of this game. Unfamiliar with the series and very much out of practice with the genre, so I'm wondering how hard it would be for a new guy to pick up and become proficient? By proficient I mean able to incorporate some level of strategy into my game, rather than simply reacting to attacks and sloppily making my own attempts at offense.

 

[h3ro]

Infinity Gem system looks like X factor but you pick a specific buff instead of a catch all like it was in MvC3.

 

[KarmaCow]

no assists and sfxt gem mechanic isnt very hype

The problem with SFxT's gems were that there were a billion of them and part of Capcom's microtransaction scheme. This just looks like a pool of 6 gems to select from before the match to customize your x-factor equivalent.

 

[Producer]

Looks like they took the scrapped character switch idea from mvc3 and put it here. Will be interesting

 

[jett]

This looks very far removed from Mahvel 3. I really don't like how the tagging looks.

 

[mrmickfran]

"They put SFxT in Marvel. Man this is not good at all."


They've decided to take influence from a better game than MVC3, this is very good.

SFxT died for the sins of all fighting games and now it bestows its blessing upon MVC Infinite.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Jennifer Hale is back as Carol.

Good.

Monster

 

[Pompadour]

So no assists.

 

[CD'S BAR]

Looks good to me. The stage was the highlight.

The aesthetic/lighting makes a big difference (see KOF 14 updates). The Capcom side looks super flat.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Oh wow, this looks like SFxT with higher mobility. I want. SFxT's core mechanics post patch were incredible.

 

[Sandfox]

This game does not look good to me, but it's obviously early.

 

[KaYotiX]

Love the over reactions of it being crap.

I guess you said the same of every other fighter that had a 1 min teaser. Love Gaf lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

You know something's wrong when Dah isn't feeling it.

Uh-oh.

 

[I-hate-u]

I don't know why they rebooted this franchise like this. It has to be because they want to de-associate the X-men from the IP, right? Cause this looks like a regress from MVC3 system just based on what they have said so far.

 

[Gunslinger]

This looks good. Don't really care about the opinions of hardcore fighter fans, as a casual I could see getting this.

Apparently there are lot of single player content according to the blog released earlier. Arcade, mission and a cinematic story mode.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Graphics look sick. I'll miss the cel-shaded comic book look of MvC3 though.

Can't wait to see more gameplay, and more importantly, more characters!

 

[mreddie]

Just as a point of reference. UMVC3 trailer for PS4

Different engine. That's the difference.

 

[BronsonLee]

You know something's wrong when Dah isn't feeling it.

Uh-oh.

Nah, he got too close to the sun

 

[Menitta]

I'm not really liking the aesthetic. It reminds me of Contest of Champions. Something about the color palette. I'll probably think differently when the game is out, and I do expect it to look better as time goes on. It looks better than 5 did two years ago at PSX and WAY better than 4 did at reveal.

 

[bethore]

Ryu looks like he was ripped right out of UMvC3. Although I do like the art direction. X and Ironman look great. Ryu and Captain Marvel needs some work. Early game footage, whatever. Plenty of time to work on those.

However, everybody boo for that tag system. I was okay when the leak mentioned a 2v2 with assists because I actually really like MvC1 (probably my favorite?), but this looks like SFxT with the tagging the partner in mid-combo. Give me the hyper tag team and team hyper combo of MvC1 and gem system from Marvel Super Heroes and then we got us a game.

 

[Callibretto]

Well fans of umvc3 can play that instead since it's on ps4 now, I think MvC-I looks really cool

 

[Kinsei]

It looks very fun. I can't wait until I get my hands on the game.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Yes, but many people here are dumb and don't know about MSH and how dope it is"


The main SFxT comparison is due to the tagging, the gems are obviously not similar. Although, if the gems are essentially customizable x-factor, they're not really like MSH either.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I for one am liking the direction this is taking. I mostly grew up with a preference for MvC1 over 2, I was never pick on assists in fighting games in terms of "call in a character, have them do a special" stuff. I like this more. The infinity stones thing seems neat too, and it seems similar to a mechanic in a previous Marvel fighter? I'll have to check that out one day.

Also I got some heavy vibes that suggested a mix of SFxT and TvC, both underrated vs fighters at the end of their lives if you ask me. I honestly didn't expect to be so excited for a Marvel game, especially with the superior Mega Man!

 

[smurfx]

i think there is going to be assists like in mvc1 but they can't show them off since they only have 4 characters announced. they are gonna slowly announce new characters throughout 2017.

 

[Neoxon]

Jennifer Hale is back as Carol.

Monster

Sounds like Grey DeLisle to me.

As for the gameplay, the visuals look a little rough right now, but hopefully that gets touched up later. The gameplay itself looks interesting enough.

 

[Owensboro]

Is it confirmed there are no assists, or are people just jumping to that conclusion due to the footage? Just wondering if there was an official release with more information in it.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I don't know why they rebooted this franchise like this. It has to be because they want to de-associate the X-men from the IP, right? Cause this looks like a regress from MVC3 system just based on what they have said so far.

make it more accessible to the casual audience so that it will make money
is probably more likely

 

[Wallach]

You know something's wrong when Dah isn't feeling it.

Uh-oh.

are you kidding

marvel players exist to bitch about marvel games

this is an exciting time for vs players with an entirely new marvel game to bitch about

 

[RedAssedApe]

Different engine. That's the difference.

The engine shouldn't really dictate the aesthetic of game...

 

[KDash31987]

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

For everyone saying the game is early and the visuals are going to improve... you do realize the game is coming out in the matter of months right? Not even a year.... MONTHS.

But hey KOF 14 is getting a graphics patch post launch... why release anything relatively finished these days...

 

[GooWop]

I really dig that art style! Looks really good

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

"They put SFxT in Marvel. Man this is not good at all."


They've decided to take influence from a better game than MVC3, this is very good.

SFxT died for the sins of all fighting games and now it bestows its blessing upon MVC Infinite.

SFxT had a few things against it, but the worst thing was the music. I seriously cannot play a fighting game if it has shit music. Also the gems thing was a total bust...

 

[Malice215]

The game looks good at this early stage. Plus alot can be done by the time it releases, so I'm not worried. Hopefully they add some characters that I care about.

People forget how much fun MSH and the 2v2 VS games were back in the day, so I hope this game brings back some of those aspects. The only thing reminiscent of SFxT is the tagging which doesn't bother me.

 

[Crocodile]

I'm pretty sure everybody recognizes this footage is early and the game will improve over the year. That doesn't mean people can't critique (hopefully fairly) what they see here - none of us can predict the future. So if someone says "art/animation/etc. looks bad" lets debate on whether you agree or disagree with that assessment right now rather then saying "guys it will look better in 6 months so shut up!"

My "hottake" take is that I would have much preferred they went with a more carttony/comic artstyle and the TOTAL LACK OF ASSISTS is kind of a boner killer right now.

EDIT: Though maybe there are now only dedicated assist characters?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Is it confirmed there are no assists, or are people just jumping to that conclusion due to the footage? Just wondering if there was an official release with more information in it.

I think Game Informer's preview went up early and they said no assists. There could still be assist characters but we don't know

 

[CD'S BAR]

Looks way better than marvel 3.

 

[RedAssedApe]

need HQ screenshots to dissect

 

[Pompadour]

make it more accessible to the casual audience so that it will make money
is probably more likely

Yeah, the other MvC games's gameplay is extremely casual unfriendly considering it's attached to the behemoth license of Marvel. I can see that reducing team size and simplifying gameplay would be a primary goal for a sequel. I just wish they didn't get rid of assists.

Oh well, maybe they can use these assets for Capcom Vs. Capcom someday.

 

[Mik317]

people really need to brush up on game development.

so many times people overreact to early footage only to get BTFO as the game goes forward.

shit tends to improve overtime
