XBLA - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - 1200pts

[wildnuts02]

Sorry if this is a repost. I did a search and didn't find it.

The list of achievements are out:

Link (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/marvel-vs-capcom-2/achievements/)

[Lord_Kefka]

Whaaaaaaa?! Sure looks legit and that's a good site. No official game announcement though?

[smarkbran]

Nice! Wonder when it will release?

[KingBroly]

I wouldn't call this an announcement, more like an uncovering.

[Raconteur]

I heard in July from rumors. Don't get your hopes up yet.

[willardhaven]

Sweet, what a grand game. I beat it on PS2, but the multiplayer will be amazing. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best fighter since SF Alpha 3.

[Regian]

Anyone think the physical copies for XBOX might go down if this comes to the Arcade?

Or is it just wishful thinking?

[naiku]

oh man can't wait to play some MSP D: gotta finally mod my ps2 stick for the xbox

[Nibi]

So does this mean that ebay is going to be flooded with people offloading their PS2 and Xbox versions?

[Stingermck]

Best fighting game ever. Thank you God.

[Strider Turbulence]

Man, there's gonna be alot of hate on this game after a few weeks. People who cry foul and cheap at SF HD remix and SF4 are gonna be in tears.

[greyzieoriental]

MvC2 will be Day 1 purchase for me.
Matter a fact, after I heard that it'll come to XBLA I sold my Xbox copy of it (horrible emulation too).

Hope that July rumor is true.

[mrcheapo11]

Holy fucking shit. Now I can stop regretting not buying it for $20 on Xbox so many years ago. Day one purchase. Would be extra amazing if it was upgraded for HD, but whatever gets it on Live soonest is fine with me!

[seanr1221]

Day one.

One of my favorite games.

[Arikado]

IT'S MAHVEL BABY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZZUMjoxfZA&feature=channel_page

[Pure Apathy]

Wow, I can't wait.

[BlueSwim]

Curleh mustache GET!!!

[outphase]

Come on PSN release!!

[KingBroly]

Come on PSN release!!

Given the ESRB rating was for 360 and PS3, I'm pretty sure it'll happen.

[BostonCollegeFan]

While the game is probably one of the worst fighting games ever when it comes to balancing, I am excited for the game. I do wonder if it will have online play though, as the reason the Xbox 1 version didn't have it is because the contract would inevitably run out for the game and Marvel didn't want people playing it online once the contract ran out.

[mike.m]

Hopefully they add online play.

Ranked match wins achievements = online play

[KingDox]

Wow, this is freaking epic. And one HUGE reason I keep my dreamcast at my house is thrown out the window.

[danked]

please don't be 1200 points cause I really want to buy this

[GodlyOne]

HD Remix was 1200 points so it would probably cost that or 1600, but it's a good price considering that it has online play and what it goes for on eBay.

[BlueSwim]

From the FGT...I hate to say it, but I think you two are right on the $20 price. I bet Capcom PR already has two different spins for that price too. "It's $20 because of the licensing fee Marvel charges." or "It's a real bargain considering retail copies are $60-$80. We're giving you a deal!":roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

[GodlyOne]

Well then, looks like I'm applying for Capcom PR person soon.

[BlueSwim]

I predict many promotions in your future. :lol::lol::lol:

[GodlyOne]

Remember though, when we charge you 50 cents for every special move you pull off in a future fighting game, we did it because the fans wanted it and we wanted to do it for the fans to provide further options in expanding gameplay.

[ivanctorres]

I'd pay 20 in the blink of an eye for one of my favorite games of all time. Woohoo!!!
Now I just need to find a quality arcade stick.

[tenzor]

Oh
My
God

[epb]

Wow, please be real. If this turns out to be an HD Remix, too, this'll be even sweeter.

[KaneRobot]

I'd kind of be surprised if this were 1600, if this is legit it's highly unlikely this is going to be a total revamp like SF2 HD Remix was, they would have told everyone by now. It really should be 800 considering the age but since it's one of the most requested XBLA titles and fairly rare on the XBox/PS2 1200 seems likely.

I have the DC version but I'll probably still buy this for convienence sake. Haven't played it in a while.

[GuilewasNK]

Until I see something on Gamespot, IGN, or some other credible site, I'm not believing this. I hadn't heard anything about Capcom getting the Marvel license back.

[MillerTime2523]

If those achievements are real, I'm surprised they aren't just half assing it and releasing it as an xbox original.

[ninja dog]

Should've named the achievements after that video:

"Curly mustache"
"Scoops"
"mango sentinel"
"fuck the Knicks"

[LinkinPrime]

Hot damn!

[KaneRobot]

Should've named the achievements after that video:

"Curly mustache"
"Scoops"
"mango sentinel"
"fuck the Knicks"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! ::skull & crossbones:: ::webdings::"

[DarkKenpachi]

looks like I will get this for both psn and 360 so I can play everybody on both systems. I am ready this needs to come out today so me and my cousin can play all weekend on live.

[Zmonkay]

uh, if this is 20 bucks, I'm out 40, cuz I promised a long time ago (cuz, ya know, some of us knew it was coming and didn't crap on those that had a source) I'd buy it for my buddy too. Still, WORTH IT!

[Chibi_Kaji]

If those achievements are real, I'm surprised they aren't just half assing it and releasing it as an xbox original.
If this real I'm not surprised. Capcom seems to like doing downloadable games.... also they could probably find a way to squeeze some extra cash out of you if they do it this way. If this is going to happen I'm going to assume we'll hear something about it at E3. A few of the Capcom guys were on the Giant Bomb podcast and said Capcom would have a few announcements to make at E3.

[trq]

Honestly, there's no way in hell I'm playing this online. If you want to go up against anything besides Cable/Magneto/Storm teams, you'd better have some friends on the couch next to you.

[mike.m]

Until I see something on Gamespot, IGN, or some other credible site, I'm not believing this. I hadn't heard anything about Capcom getting the Marvel license back.

They don't need the Marvel license back. Both sides just need to agree to publish the game and sort out who gets paid.

[DarkRider23]

Hopefully they add online play.

Did you not click the link?

[mike.m]

Did you not click the link?

Hopefully they have Marvel characters in it!

[naiku]

can't wait to get back to play some magneto.
vid has a pretty sick reset on sent & snapbacks galore

<3 mvc2 & MSP

[msu89dawgs]

I already have the PS2 version of MvC2, but I'll drop 1600 Live points or $20 at the PlayStation Store on it. It would be cool if later they would come out an HD Remix version of it, but with 56 characters, it would take way more time on the graphical upgrade than SSF2T HD Remix did.

[Nelo Ice]

Isn't that the ESRB rumor that has been going around for months now?

[KingBroly]

The ESRB rating was the first thing that came out.

[LinkinPrime]

Official announcement possibly coming within the next few days:

The demand for a downloadable release (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/17/take-this-marvel-vs-capcom-2-achievement-list-for-a-ride/) of Marvel vs Capcom 2 is high; we don't need to tell you that. When the game was rated by the ESRB (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/13/esrb-rates-marvel-vs-capcom-2-for-ps3-xbox-360/), we found ourselves as giddy as a Sentinel hunting down rogue mutants. Don't even get us started on a possible teaser site for the game: tu4ar.com (http://www.tu4ar.com/).

The domain appears to be a reference to the catchy character select song "Take You for a Ride," and further inspection of the site reveals a giant "2" (in the background of the countdown clock), which is similar in font to the Marvel vs Capcom 2 logo. The teaser countdown appears to imply that in 6 days the site will evolve into a real web site, complete with stuff to click and actual content. (Presumably, this countdown could coincide with a press embargo being established at CAPTIVATE09 this week.)

That's not all, though. There are two telling domains that are connected to the URL in question: http://dev02.capcomusa.net/ and http://dev02.capcomusa.net/mvc2gmt/. If you click the latter link, the same teaser from tu4ar.com shows up. Oh, and a Capcom Unity tweet (http://twitter.com/Capcom_Unity/status/1576746770) and recent auction (http://www.capcom-unity.com/snow_infernus/blog/2009/04/20/unity_auctions_signed_swag_international_goodness? num=5&pg=2) offer further evidence as to the creator of tu4ar.com.

Still, it's important to remain skeptical. All of this evidence -- compelling as it may be -- is by no means official confirmation. We'll update just as soon as the countdown expires and Capcom announces ... well, whatever it's going to announce.http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/21/possible-marvel-vs-capcom-2-teaser-site-countdown/

[kevlar51]

They don't need the Marvel license back. Both sides just need to agree to publish the game and sort out who gets paid.

The vehicle required to allow for publication and determine how payment is allocated is called a "license."

[Nelo Ice]

naw mvc2 isnt coming out theres no official announcement! :roll::rofl:

[Killbomb]

The ranked wins achievements are gonna be tough for the average player.

[wildnuts02]

here is the countdown (supposedly)

[SNAKE EYES EX]

Wow I hope this is true.

[RAMSTORIA]

The ranked wins achievements are gonna be tough for the average player.

i think ill end up with about 40/200

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

So it's not an HDR like I heard someone say it was gonna be? it's just a port?

[FurryCurry]

^^^^ Which is fine by me. Just take the DC port, add HDRemix level multiplayer and throw in a color edit mode so we can have Carmel Apple Sentinel to go with Mango Sentinel. Done.

[Nelo Ice]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Kx9tAZo8g#t=1m50s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Kx9tAZo8g)

wonder what that could be starting around 1:55 ;)

[Yanksfan]

Great, great news. I love it when the classics get re-released so everyone can enjoy them for affordable prices, even though I usually own the original copies already. I never did play it on XBox though, I just have the Dreamcast version.

PSN gets a demo thursday :( :(

[advanced]

I'm fuckin stoked. I just got (back) into fighting games, and I hated the prices I saw.

$15 for online and quarter matches like SSF2HDREMIX? HELL YES.

Consider this sold.

Edit: OH SHIT, PSN Demo this Thursday? This weekend is gonna be awesome.

[wildnuts02]

it's official, coming this summer:

I paid $15 for the DC version long ago.

Definitely gonna throw down for this. This and Alpha 3 were my favorite fighting games.

[The Chop Suey]

anyone getting tu4ar.com to work it? i get to the logo and click on it and it freezes

[KingBroly]

PSN demo on Thursday. Nothing yet for 360.

[The Chop Suey]

[LinkinPrime]

Trailer:

Not sure if it's just me but it doesn't look as clean as SSFIIHDR, but the graphics do look better than the original.

[_Ph03n1x_]

PSN demo on Thursday. Nothing yet for 360.
I am totally jealous of the ps3 people >.<

[bs000]

When the countdown reached zero it loaded a blank page. Exciting.

[The Chop Suey]

whered u hear about the demo?
yea the graphics look updated
stoked!!!

[LinkinPrime]

Here's more info, including the PSN :-| demo.



It’s based on the Dreamcast code base – While the PS2 and Xbox versions of MvC2 were great, there are a few $$$$ling issues in them that have caused the competitive community to continue using the Dreamcast version of the game. We wanted to bring you the very best version of the game, so we listened to the community and started with the Dreamcast.

2. There is online – With the game being developed by Backbone, we are using largely the same, critically acclaimed net code that we used in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix and with that will come our player match quarter mode/lobby system that has proven so popular. Naturally leaderboards and some form of stats tracking (details to be provided at a later date) will also be in the mix. So on the net code side, you’re pretty much assured the best fighting game net code ever created for consoles.


3. HD upscaling options – Given that most people play Xbox 360s and PS3s on HD TVs, it’s important to help make the game look better. We’ve refined our real-time sprite filtering to use even more advanced techniques and we’re providing two upscaling options for the sprites… one we’ve termed “Crisp” the other we’ve termed “Smooth”. It’s a matter of personal preference for which one you’ll enjoy more. For purists, if you’d like you can use the “Classic” setting, which leaves the sprites completely unfiltered. Because the filtering is applied in real-time, you can change these settings on the fly, mid-match if you choose. Our producer will be showing you some comparison screenshots in the coming days to better clarify the differences. The backgrounds in MvC2 are all 3D, and when rendered at higher resolutions look fantastic. The original textures and assets from the Dreamcast were actually much higher quality than the Dreamcast could really display at the time and when shown in HD, the impact is really quite amazing.


4. Widescreen – Again, with most people playing on HD displays, we wanted to figure out how to implement widescreen support. To do so, the camera field of view was widened (which we’re able to do because of the 3D backgrounds effectively running off the “edges” of the 4:3 scenario) and there are a few camera tricks that minimize any impact on the gameplay. Play area is unchanged, and this is not a zoom and crop like HD Remix was. To put it simply, the gameplay area will be in a 4:3 field, while the viewing area will be widescreen. At the same time, for purists and competitive play, a 4:3 option (with vertical bars on the left and right) still exists.


5. No unlocking – While we love giving people unlockables in games, for this outing, there’s not a lot of surprises in terms of what characters are in the game. All 56 characters will be unlocked at the start for immediate play, again great for tournament play where players won’t need to mess with save game data or hacked versions (/shame).


6. Music Options – We love MvC2 but the original “jazzy” music has long been criticized even by ardent fans. Independent music volume controls and support of custom soundtracks on PS3 and 360 we deemed an important feature. Purists will still have what they love and fans of customization are also served.
And as an added bonus, some of you will get to play it sooner than you think. The US PlayStation network will have the demo available for download this week (Europe’s PSN should follow not far after). Surprise. :)
http://www.capcom-unity.com/sven/blog/2009/04/27/wheres_yo_curleh_mustache_yes_mvc2_is_real

[DQT]

I don't see how anybody could think Capcom would give this game an HD Remix considering how the vast majority of the characters in the original were recycled sprites from every Capcom fighting game in the late 90s. Especially since SSF2THD with it's 17 characters experienced multiple delays.

[wildnuts02]

wow that's awesome. :)

[Strider Turbulence]

Thank God! No unlocking!

[AlohaMars2]

Sweet! Time go start raiding OCRemix for new tunes!

[ninjalunchbox79]

Well , Joker playable on PS3 hhmmm . . . hope it comes out later for 360!!! If not then WTF!!!!!!

[The Chop Suey]

Well , Joker playable on PS3 hhmmm . . . hope it comes out later for 360!!! If not then WTF!!!!!!

what are u talking about? i think u are referring to arkham aslyum

[LinkinPrime]

Joker is DC...where did you hear/read about this?

[danked]

Thank God! No unlocking!

really I'm disappointed by this, I know this game took forever to unlock all the characters but It can be fun, I personal would of liked if they revamped the unlocks, maybe less/more points or something like that, and points for online battle and skip the lame wait in training get a ton of point unlocked method.

And also you can pretty much bet this will be 15$... if not 20$ and my cheap ass may think twice cause, I have the game now. and is 20$ worth chessments and online.... hmm maybe....

[The Chop Suey]

im pretty sure he totally talking about when the new batman game comes out u can play as the joker ps3 only

[KingBroly]

No it can't

[Nealocus123]

Reading "It's Official!" in the OP's title made my day.

[jman619]

Reading "It's Official!" in the OP's title made my day.

Mine as well. Now I'm getting all hyped up for it.

[LinkinPrime]

I would have totally waited 6+ months for them to take their time with this and give it the HD overhaul. Disappointed that they'll just "smooth" it out, but I'll probably still bite day one.

[jman619]

Bite someday? You have no idea how many people was just waiting for mvc2 to be online. That alone is worth it to me.

[BostonCollegeFan]

Here's a protip: It wasn't 6 months to re-do it in HD. It was close to 3 years.

[seanr1221]

Thank god they have everything unlocked.

[Rodimus]

Yessss, quarter matches. Why couldn't SFIV do this too? Plus widescreen & remixed music. This is more that I hoped for.

[KingDox]

Bite someday? You have no idea how many people was just waiting for mvc2 to be online. That alone is worth it to me.

Wasn't the Japanese DC version online back in the day? Maybe they just used some of that netcode to get it online. I also kinda liked unlocking stuff. I hope they still make you unlock the colors of characters.

Anyone use a VGA box on their DC and play MvC2? Remember how the backgrounds looked awesome but the sprites looked like ass? I bet this this is how the game will look in HD. But I don't care.

I have never been this excited to re-buy a game I already own.

[BostonCollegeFan]

It's being made by Backbone, so they'll throw one of their sprite renderes in it that they used to ruin classic games. The Sprites will look a little better, but they won't be pixelated messes.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well , Joker playable on PS3 hhmmm . . . hope it comes out later for 360!!! If not then WTF!!!!!!

Marvel vs. Capcom vs. Joker

[lolwut?]

Kind of disappointed about everything being unlocked from the start as that will take away a good chunk of gameplay for me, but I know I'll still pick it up.

[SAB-CA]

Yessss, quarter matches. Why couldn't SFIV do this too? Plus widescreen & remixed music. This is more that I hoped for.

Because Japanese Capcom and English Capcom didn't pass notes on online lobby systems? -shrug-

Anywho... Well, finally. This game will be probably the most frustrating Online fighter ever! XD Thr REAL Challenge in this game will be making the underappreciated characters look awesome online!

RULE THE WORLD WITH SERVERBOTS!

Here's My SUNDAYS BEST! (War Machine)

Would be funny to see some real awesome Amingo's, or great Marrows... SOO many characters, at least everyone won't be a Ken, Ryu, Sagat!

Oh, and it's been mentioned that this should be using the Same Netcode as SSFIITHDR (Thus, GGPO).

[BlueSwim]

Wasn't the Japanese DC version online back in the day? Maybe they just used some of that netcode to get it online. I also kinda liked unlocking stuff. I hope they still make you unlock the colors of characters.

I have never been this excited to re-buy a game I already own.
The XBLA/PSN version has two filters to smooth out the character sprites. You can still play it without either of the filters, if you so choose.

There is an obvious difference between the sprites and the backgrounds, of course, but it really isn't that bad(coming from someone who has never played it before, at least).

SCREENS (http://kotaku.com/5230220/marvel-vs-capcom-2-confirmed-with-hd-online-support-demo-coming)

[Rodimus]

Wasn't the Japanese DC version online back in the day?

Yeah it was, infact it was a heavy part of the character unlocking process. 1/3 of the characters could only be unlocked by online play, the other 1/3 by bringing the VMU to the arcades, and the last 3rd by playing at home. You couldn't imagine how disappointed I was when I imported it.

[mtxbass1]

I find the "exclusivity" of the PSN only demo to be amusing.

[Monsta Mack]

Well considering my XBox copy went for over $60 (or was it $70?) on eBay, this easily pays off for the XBLA title and some money towards a nice stick.

Wonder if the TE stick for MVC2 was a joke or what.

[Otherguy676]

and ebay will now be flooded, I may have to trade 2 of my 3 XBX versions in somewhere to get value for it, I still have a PS2 and DC version also, I am going to have this game on 4 consoles comes soon. Its not as bad as the first Samurai Shodown I as over the years I have 5(!) releases of that game (not on compilation, GG, GEN, MVS, SNES, SCD).

[BlueSwim]

Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5230501/marvel-vs-capcom-2-old-graphics-vs-new-graphics) has posted a side-by-side comparison of the old MvC2 graphics verses the new graphics. The new ones are WAY less pixelated than the old graphics, but they are a little blurry. Seems like a good way to do things if they aren't going the HD Remix route.

[Zmonkay]

Gonna be rockin the demo soooo hard (please have online play in the demo, please?!).
Glad/sad about unlockables though. It's fun to have things to unlock and look forward too, but honestly, on the DC, I'd just go into training mode and leave it running overnight, in the morning quit and get my points, and then while I was away during the day back to training mode. So it's not like I legit earned the unlocks anyway :p

Day 1 baybeee.

[LinkinPrime]

Here's the options for the graphics:

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/04/strider0428092.jpg

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/28/marvel-vs-capcom-2s-graphical-options-compared/

I guess crisp is as good as it gets.

[Hydro2Oxide]

^I think smooth looks the best.

[LinkinPrime]

Smooth is a tad blurry for my taste but its good that they gave us 3 options to choose from.

[DantheApe]

So is anyone else going to be buying this for both? Like i posted in the psn thread, I have just enough friends who are console specific for me to warrant buying both.

I think i dig the smoothing, but i'll just end up playing without the filter. This will make the 4th and 5th versions of this game I'll have owned....and i thought buying all 3 versions of sc2 was bad *sigh*

[xycury]

classic is the only way to play!

I don't have a 360/ps3, i'm jealous, but I would think that they could do some AA better than what they did.

It's an emu or a port?


So for the PSN, I just got a PSP, are those related, could I play this on my new PSP? :pray:

[mcgavin27]

Day one purchase for me.

[wildnuts02]

i think i'll be going with crisp

nothing...... :cry:

[SeanAmI]

nothing...... :cry:

Its over that's why

[BlueSwim]

Yeah, it's over. The feed seemed to go out from time to time during the show.

[Ziv]

I already own the DC version, but I'm in for this. I hope they allow using three of the same character like when you unlocked everythig in the old one.

Hello 3 Dans.

[DQT]

I think the filtered sprites look really good.

[Rodimus]

Crisp looks nice. I never liked the Smooth filter. They use it in many collections for older games and they always look like a mess.

[buttasuperb]

classic is the only way to play!

yep, easily looks the best

[Techsticles]

Def a day one purchase for me. It's kind of cool all the characters will be unlocked from the beginning, but at the same a lot of the fun of the Dreamcast version was working towards unlocking everyone. Oh well, going to be a lot of fun playing this again finally.

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

so are all the characters still in this one?

[sbains]

Can't wait to download the MvC2 demo tonight on Playstation Network
http://pid.us.playstation.com/user/MUTTEE.jpg

[wildnuts02]

i heard the demo is out on PSN but i haven't been able to confirm yet

[KingBroly]

Yes, it is. However, it's Local Multiplayer only because Capcom still doesn't get online, and no AI opponents either (why? I don't know)

[tankass]

Wow exclusive demo for PSN. Anyone else worried about lag in a game like this? I mean I know its an issue in all online fighters but pulling off those 50 hit combos could be an issue if theres any kind of lag. Although the SF2 HD was good, I think this is more twitch than that.

[tankass]

classic is the only way to play!

I don't have a 360/ps3, i'm jealous, but I would think that they could do some AA better than what they did.

It's an emu or a port?


So for the PSN, I just got a PSP, are those related, could I play this on my new PSP? :pray:

I don think it will work on your PSP cause from what I saw its a remake similar to SF2 HD. So no emu. Probably gonna have to bite the bullet and upgrade buddy.

[LinkinPrime]

Coming June 29th (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-marvel-vs-capcom-2-scheduled-for-june-29-release/) no price listed yet.

If it was, I missed that.

A Monday release? :-k That rumor's off by at least two days.

[danked]

man... yeah I think I will bite for 1200

[naiku]

traveled 42miles to buy a sf4 TE stick for this game. definitely a first day buy....monday release seems a bit off though. XBLA games come out on wednesdays? If so it would be July 1st.

[KingBroly]

June 29th confirmation, according to Marvel:

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=214315

Maybe they mean July 29th (Which is a Wednesday).

[DantheApe]

week of the 29th? entirely possible....nice little birthday present to myself

[-Never4ever-]

Can. Not. WAIT. Too bad I suck so hard that online play is going to pretty much useless to me :'(

I hope this means that at E3 Capcom announces Marvel Vs Capcom 3 :drool:

[wildnuts02]

how many of you guys will be using Arcade Sticks? I have a Hori FS3 for my PS3 but i think i'd rather get the XBLA version of this....so I'm thinking of getting an arcade stick for my 360.

[greyzieoriental]

I got (1)TE Stick modded with Red Sanwas and (1)SE stick where I shoved the parts of the TE stick into. And another TE stick on the way to me. This is actually my first time using sticks, but now that I've been using sticks for a little over a month, I can't got back to a controller.

If you do plan on getting a TE stick for the 360, go ahead and pre-order from buy.com. It took them exactly a week to fulfill my order and ship it out. I will be receiving it this friday. Buying an SE stick and modding it with Sanwas will cost you about the same amount (minus $10-$20) unless you enjoy waiting weeks for parts, removing screws, and unplugging pins.

No, they want it out before the convention in July.

Looks like it should be coming out on the 22nd of this month.

u guys realize ign says july 22nd right and its already been announced its a part of the 2nd summer of arcade promotion

That's the exact same thing I thought. I looked at the date, and it said July 22 there is no way two big xbla games is coming out the same day. MVC2 is part of the summer of arcade, and it will come out sometime in August. I wish it would come out sooner. Basically what I understand is its a xbla game each week for that summer of arcade promotion starting july 22 with tmnt. Then maybe the next week we get mvc2,but I doubt it. It will be the third or maybe even the last one or at least that's what I think.

[brother bendu]

So let me get this straight. There is no official release date for this game? First I heard June 29, then June 26, And I just saw the IGN date for the 22nd. Now people are saying it should come out in July or even August?

WTF is going on? No one can come out with a release date that is set in stone? UGHHH!!!!

Summer just got even hotter! The 2nd Annual Summer of Arcade burns up Xbox LIVE® Arcade

Xbox LIVE Arcade is turning up the heat! ‘Splode, race, and cowabunga your way through five weeks of this year’s hottest blockbusters in the second annual Summer of Arcade program.

UGHHH!!! Fuck me over!! God Damn these Capcom/XBLA people playing with my emotions. I got 2 arcades sticks (Hori Ex2 and SF4 SE) just for this game and they can't give me a set date. The Fuck!!! :bomb::wall::cry:

Thanks for the info anyway.

If I have to want till July 22nd I mite stop caring about this game. BlazBlue and KOF will be out before then....

[depascal22]

Blazblue and KOF XII will be mighty tough to put aside to play a nine year old game that I already own on the DC. They should've released this next week.

[Rodimus]

Blazblue and KOF XII will be mighty tough to put aside to play a nine year old game that I already own on the DC. They should've released this next week.

Agreed, but don't forget MOTW.

All these 2D fighters are coming out at the same time. Couldn't they be spaced out a little better?

[depascal22]

Agreed, but don't forget MOTW.

All these 2D fighters are coming out at the same time. Couldn't they be spaced out a little better?

Mark of the Wolves will be tight also but I have it on PS2 and the DC. Again, it'll be tough to put aside brand new games for an old one.

I'm more inclined to pick up KOF '98 UM or KOF 2K2 UM if those ever come out.

All these games could've been spaced better and price more reasonably. I'd probably get MvC2 for 800 points even if I didn't play it much right away but I'm more hesitant at the 1200 point mark.

[GuilewasNK]

All these games could've been spaced better and price more reasonably. I'd probably get MvC2 for 800 points even if I didn't play it much right away but I'm more hesitant at the 1200 point mark.


Compared to the ridiculous prices on eBay, $15 for MvC2 is very reasonable especially when you have online multiplayer included. Then again, it seems like no matter what comes out people want it 400 points less than what it is announced at. I really don't understand that, but it's moot to me.

Also, considering that fighting game popularity is experiencing something of a re-birth out of niche status thanks to SF II HD Remix and SF IV, spacing isn't a problem for me. I'm just glad high profile titles are coming out at all.

[doodofdoods]

$15? those bastards.

For fighting games, there really is only a 5 month window. Anything other than the late spring to end of summer at they get lost in the sea of the high profile games.

[lolwut?]

I guess it would be nice if they "spaced out" the release of these games, but they are all by different companies, and I doubt they give a shit about the other titles release dates. I'll probably be picking up all three, and if I don't have time for one right away, I'm sure I'll be able to put plenty of time into it down the line.

I'm bummed about it being pushed back too (I've had points set aside for this since May), but complaining about it isn't going to make it come any faster

[nyprimus4]

July 29th is the best guess.

[danked]

it seems like no matter what comes out people want it 400 points less than what it is announced at. I really don't understand that, but it's moot to me.

Probably cause just about everything that comes out on XBLA is about 400 points over priced, but then again I'm a cheap ass gamer how doesn't like DRM restrictions, 15$ reasonable yes, very reasonable ....... I don't know about that. the only real selling point in the online play.

[nyprimus4]

Reasons why $15 is more then reasonable...

1. It's Marvel vs. Capcom 2. We've been begging for this since forever.

2. 16:9 presentation. That's right, it's going to fit perfectly on your shiny HDTV.

3. Online play by the SFIIHDR guys. The online play is going to be smooooth. These guys have a track record for lag free if not close to it online play.

4. Improved sprites, if you want. The option to turn on smoothing so it looks awesome looking on your shiny HDTV.

2-4 aren't free to do.

You make a great point, brother. Compared to ebay prices, this is a very reasonable price. Compared to SFIIHD, it's not though. I look at the beautiful graphics and superb online code as an example for 1200 points well spent. They could've charged 1600 points for it and I would've been happy. Unfortunately, we're not getting the HD treatment for this. We're just getting online play that might or might not be as good as SFIIHD.

On Dreamcast and PS2 and XBOX, Yes it is out.

what about for live?

[foxdvd]

what about for live?

no

[mr ryles]

My one question is, is this more the arcade version, or the console version where I can purchase the multitude of characters and costumes?

Console version.... Sold!

Arcade version.... meh.

[RelentlessRolento]

it's the dreamcast version but with everything unlocked.

[mr ryles]

it's the dreamcast version but with everything unlocked.

so like all 56 characters and costumes are available from start?

[mr ryles]

it's like saying here's the good version, but we took all the fun parts out of it.

[KingBroly]

No need to double post within a minute of your last post. Yes, the downloadable version is going to have every character unlocked from the start.

[mr ryles]

oh I just did

[mr ryles]

and I will again, having every character unlocked from the start is a total blow. I had the most fun playing for hours just to unlock the characters and costumes

[mogamer]

Then again, it seems like no matter what comes out people want it 400 points less than what it is announced at. I really don't understand that, but it's moot to me.


Maybe because DLC can't be re-sold after you purchase it? :roll: Since you can't purchase a used version, consumers should want it cheaper. But that lack of competition also helps to keep prices high. At least with disc based media you can sell it to help lower the initial price when you are finished with it.

[RelentlessRolento]

In terms of DD games, that's always the first point people here on CAG point out... I understand that this will hurt turnaround, but in the end it's beneficial to everyone in the end except retail game stores, which is good.

[OnyxPrimal]

and I will again, having every character unlocked from the start is a total blow. I had the most fun playing for hours just to unlock the characters and costumes

I know what you mean. I'll love being able to play with everyone from the get go, but I'll miss unlocking everyone. I don't plan to play much online as I'm not a pro player and I think get beat in a matter of seconds would just frustrate me.

[mogamer]

In terms of DD games, that's always the first point people here on CAG point out

I think the reason that it's always brought up here at CAG is because we're basically all cheap asses here! ;)

The no re-selling aspect hasn't stopped be from buying DLC from XBLA or any place else. But it's made me a hell of a lot more selective. And I tend to wait for sales.

[Rozz]

it's like saying here's the good version, but we took all the fun parts out of it.

I'm actually happy they added this feature. I spent a hell of a lot of time unlocking everything in the PS2 version. As fun as that was I really wouldn't want to go through the hassle of doing that again.

[LinkinPrime]

7/29 Officially:

Capcom_Unity (javascript:void(0);): Alright already! Marvel VS Capcom 2 offically goes live on XBLA on July 29. PSN date to be announced soon. (about 2 hours ago (http://twitter.com/Capcom_Unity/status/2550316126) from txt (http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=75))

I figured it had to be the 29th when they kept saying it was going to be near the end of July. Can't wait.

[RAMSTORIA]

1200 points, cant argue with that. i would have paid 1600, maybe even more.

[jman619]

1200 points, cant argue with that. i would have paid 1600, maybe even more.

I hate to admit it,but I wouldn't have minded paying 2000 points for it or maybe even more.

[sendme]

Do they have a demo of this out yet? I have never played it and don't have the 1200 points. So I would like to play some of it before I go and spend more cash on points in order to buy this.

[KingBroly]

Unless you have local players, it's a useless demo. The PSN demo is just like HDR's demo. Utterly pointless.

[thrustbucket]

This game would bring back lots of good memories, but I can't stand 2d arcarde fighter ports with a control pad, and I am not going to drop the $ to get real arcade controllers.

Well if you trade in $50 worth of games on Amazon, you get 50% off games and accessories, including arcade sticks.

I'm going to get one of the real nice ones for about $10 out of pocket.

[naiku]

still sitting on my points for this game. I have a feeling im gonna be underwhelmed since I have been waiting 4 months+ for this release.
The dreamcast version works fine. I doubt people care that much about slightly updated graphics. Im in the boat where I would rather use my new 360 stick to play mvc2 instead of using my old dreamcast one.

[brother bendu]

hopefully it won't get pushed back again. I am ready to beat some CAGs asses in MvsC2!

I don't care about the graphics. I care about the online play, and that (even while I'm unemployed) I can afford $15, whereas I couldn't afford the prices the older releases of the game were going for.

A stick would be great, but I really can't afford one of those. Probably wouldn't save me from getting my ass kicked, anyway.

[eastx]

Gothic you should at least get a Madcatz FightPad then. It'd still improve your game a lot compared to the normal pad.

I got mine used off of a Cag. I've had it almost a month now. I don't use it a extreme amount,but I haven't had any problems with it so far.

[Ayu255]

I don't get the fightpad. In SF4, how do you hit the top 3 buttons to use some of the ultras? In MvC2, 1 of storm's moves requires 2 buttons that are diagonal from each other.

1 2 3
4 5 6

How do you push 2 and 4 at the same time without messing up? Either way, I already have a SF4 stick (not the TE one).

[BlueScrote]

I'm really excited for this to come out, even though I'm worried not having a fight stick or fightpad will kill my enjoyment, since I'm not a particularly avid fighting game connoisseur (The last fightign game I played was MK vs DC).

Same here. I might look into the pads down the road, but this will be the first fighting game I'm getting for my 360 (although that's mostly due to lack of money, rather than how I feel about the genre). I'm going to give it a go with the 360 controller, but honestly...even with a pad or stick, I'd probably get my ass handed to me anyway.

Do we know how the controls map on the 360 controller yet?

[CouRageouS]

I would assume it would be the same as the Dreamcast version. Face buttons for punch/kicks and shoulders for assist.

In SF4 you can assign buttons to hit all 3 punches or all 3 kicks. On the fight pad it's the left and right triggers.

can't wait! Where yo Curly Mustache at!!?!?!?

I dunno how u can triangle jump on a pad. I know people probably can...but its extremely painful on a DC controller.

[Ziv]

@Ayu255: I hold the fightpad in my left hand normal while using my left thumb to control the pad. I use my right hand as if I were using the buttons on an arcade stick. It works well for me. I did it even on the stock 360 pad before I got the fight pad. Works well there too.

I remember playing the crap out of MvC2 in my friend's basement. I could always beat friends locally, but judging by how I've performed against CAGs in HD Remix, I don't expect to be able to compete on this game, though it will be easier to get away with button mashing.

I can win one-on-one against my friends, but I already know I'm going to get my ass kicked online. I just haven't had the practice.

I can win one-on-one against my friends, but I already know I'm going to get my ass kicked online. I just haven't had the practice.

I'd be down for that. I'm not big on fighters but I loved all the MvC games. I'd get my ass waxed playing anyone good, I just loved playing as the characters.

[Matt Young]

Yeah, that sounds like fun to me. I haven't played the game, period, in years. I'm sure I'll be the worst.

I'd be interested in doing that. I have next to no experience at playing MvC 2 besides a handful of games on the Dreamcast.

Same here. My usual strategy for MvC was to pick Ryu (because I've played enough Street Fighter to use him decently), Spider-Man (because I think he's cool), or Wolverine (ditto). That worked against my friends who'd pick Gambit

Let's put it this way: the extent of my MvC2 knowledge is that there is a God Tier, and I'm pretty sure Storm is a part of it. Other than that...nada. :D

Do any of the experienced players have any suggestions for those of us who are new to all of this? Any websites we should be reading, or tactics we should know? How do we learn to not suck?

I usually just rotate out of which Marvel characters I like best and try to remember what combos I figure out on my own. I wish I was better at it to warrant getting a better pad for it but I should be able just having fun with the regular controller.

eh infinites aren't the issue since the damage is scaled. For example magneto's rom infinite does keep the player from doing anything but ure not gonna kill anyone with it since its very low damage (super jump >lk, lk> airdash df > lk, lk) Once you do a reset back into the rom....thats where u get the pain. Im not that good at the game but i did play with a lot of people that were. Storm Sent DHC is sick..like 80-100% damage? BLARG

Sadly its my finals this week. definitely going to be playing the hell out of it all next weekend. just will miss Wednesday and Thursday online gaming.

can't wait til tomorrow night. I'm staying up.

[jimjom]

is there a pre-sell button on xbox live?

[jman619]

What time do they usually add everything? I assume its early in the morning,but maybe I'm wrong. I can't wait either way. Its so close now I can feel it!

I don't know what you are talking about. It will be fun to get owned by people that use infs over, and over. *end sarcasm* I use to be good at the game,but as far as infs go when people start that I might as well give up.

[ninja dog]

I have a feeling that most of the players online will not be Shoryuken/Tourney caliber or use infs over and over. I don't get why people worry about this whenever a fighting game gets re-released with online play.

between 3 & 4 AM Central

Too bad i'll be playing gears of war newest DLC. I'll have no time for this. I still might buy it, but not on the start date.

[jman619]

IGN just gave it a 8.7 which is great. They gave the ps3 one a 9.0. I'll have to read the review, and see why it wasn't the same. Either way I'm getting it on both, and I'm hyped more than ever.

I think they mentioned that the 360 version has a bit of a hangup at the start of some matches and during the character select screen.

Yeah I just read that. I'm so hyped about the game now I can't stand it. I shouldn't have read the review.

im freaking out....have a research paper due on thursday. I think im gonna stay up really late working on it and just play some mvc2 until i pass out. I bought a sf4 TE stick 4 months ago just for this game. UGH!!!!

*drool* 13hours to go!

Edit: Another reason to hate on the 60$ sf4. Why does the 15-20$ games get lobby mode arguably the best mode for a console fighter game.

You should play with us guys that suck. That will make it less painful and I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'll have fun playing single player anyhow.

i used to be good back in the DC days, but that was against regular people, not crazy nerds.
