“We believe that by going down this route we can breath new life into the franchise and make a game that sits above DMC3 for this generation.”
Oh god i dont think i have the words to express how im feeling right now.
I can’t believe I’m still finding out some new tricks for that game. Damn I love DMC3.
This is and isn’t aimed at you, its in general
GET THE FUCK OVER MEGAMAN. He’s a BLAND ass character who hasn’t been worth SHIT since MvC1. Why the hell do people care about MM so fucking much? Everyone ask for Zero, gets him, then bitch about Megaman. He’s been in more games than prolly any other fictional video game character, let him rest and recoupe into somethign entertaining again. Everyone complains about MM yet they didn’t run him last time and more than likely will pick Dante over him in MvC3 ANYWAYS.
Get OVER IT.
UMvC3 wil lbe overpriced for what it is, but damn this generation of gmers don’t realize how nice htey have it. I remember being boosted that the SNES was getting SUPER SF2 since the only other version we had was WW. I remember having to buy a WHOLE NEW CARTRIDGE as there was no DLC. You spent $50 bucks no matter what the ‘tweak’ was, and the roster change from Super compared to previous editions was only 4 characters, and then there were character changes/balances. UMvC3 is giving us TWELVE characters along with those same new special moves and character adjustments.
SRK is really irritating me with the bitching. If you don’t like something don’t support it. People got irritated iwth the price of crappy music albums, so they stopped buying them. In return the average price of CDs have dropped and for al lpurposes ‘the single’ has returned. If you think UMvC3 is just money rape from Capcom and we’ve been play testing a game…you know not actually enjoying this game for almost a year…just beta testing for Capcom - then don’t buy it. But the constant bitching about it is unnecessary, redundant, and frankly worthless.

UMVC3 is actually good though, and is making some necessary balance changes/adding actual interesting characters to the mix (fuck Megaman).
this new DmC reboot thingy is just uncalled for and utterly unecessary.
And yes, DMC3’s fighting system was just amazing. I loved the ‘true style’ tournaments and learning about all the advanced techniques. These days they just don’t have that kind of stuff anymore in these kinds of games. It’s all just got to be ‘easy’ so that casual (see: lazy) players don’t feel left out.
yea but UMVC3 would have not been necessary if capcom would have had a slightly longer playtesting period with ALL the characters.
false. And again…how long have we had MvC3 in our hands? since like February. so you’d rather Capcom who is STILL MAKING the characters and going thru playtesting, would have held onto the game until THIS November? Meaning it wouldn’t have been at Evo? Meaning that from Feb to July we’d stil lbe stuck on Super…there would be no AE in that time span…just Super…and no other fighting game from Capcom. Nah man. Fact is fact, these characters were planned as DLC and the earthquake thru everything off schedule, so instead of paying five dollars per character ($60 dollars for twelve), we are getting all 12 for $40 along with some other requested features.
Would it be nice to get everything at once for $60, sure, but its also not realisitc as this has been continual devolpment post ‘completion’ - an evolution if you will. And marinate on it verse MvC2. MvC3 was original enough that Morrigan had new ‘sprites’. They made models and play tested all those characters, its not like MvC3 is even broken on a character level - PHX is the only ‘issue’ and she is IMO a pretty balanced glass cannon. So no, IMO Capcom did nothign wrong. If given the oppurtuntiy - if Capcom said "we are releasing MvC3 in November 2012, but in February you can buy it minus 20% of the cast, and get a coupon to buy it at a reduced price in Nov, I’d still do it.

i don’t even think the other 4 dmc games cracked 3 mill lol
I could just be jaded about it all, but do you think that rereleasing a game 8 months later for anything over 30 dollars a good look? I mean capcom is the only company that do shit like that. But you raised good points.
No they aren’t, but the one that sticks out the most in my mind (L4D & L4D2) which was a ful lblown sequel. I can look at CoD as well, where with the next map pack thats dropping soon (if it hasn’t already for BO) puts them at $60 worth of DLC - exactly the same cost of the game, in less than a year - and it has done virtually the same thing as UMvC3 - only no tweaks - just new maps. Now they need to approach it how they approached AE - allowing MvC3 users to download a patch to adjust the existing cast to their UMvC3 selves, but no new content…but all in all I have no quarrels with UMvC3 outside of characters I’d like in it…
I’m actually surprised the Virgil got in, but they haven’t mentioned ANYTHING about the updated Dante being future DLC in any shape or form…I’d think they would be pushing him with UMvC3 as a good starting vehicle shrug.

Dude, someone get this man a sandwich.
I think a lot of you guys are lying about not playing DMC2 for the simple fact that the game didnt get nearly as much hate until after it had been out, ie: people got the game when it first came out and made impressions.
Anyone who was a fan of DMC1 got DMC2 on release. DMC2 has major flaws, worse game ever? No. But obviously enough to where 99% of people on fighting game message boards claim to have never played lol.
Not one DMC has sold 3 million. The ONLY one that came close was DMC1, DMC4 is the only other one that broke 2 mil. 3mil and up are numbers reserved for GoW, unfortunately =/
I didn’t get DMC2 when it first ame out, simply because I wasn’t made of money to that extent, and I didn’t have a hard on for DMC…it was fun and eventually I would get DMC2 (and I did) but I wan’t dropping insert fighting game for a DMC title. I got DMC2, enjoyed it, but felt it was second rate. But I beat it. I havne’t bothered beating DMC3…I got to a certain point and just lost interest. I know there is more to it and one day I will pick it back up - because I want to play DMC4 - but it hasn’t cracked top ten on my to do list (writing this though has bumped it up a little).
- :bluu:
The thing about DMC2 was there were lots of cosmetic gameplay elements that were supposed to be system mechanics. ie: fire/ice weapon attributes, and even some boss battles being so poorly programmed that you could exploit dead spots where they didnt attack etc etc…
But what was right about DMC2 goes completely ignored which is obnoxious to say this game was so bad but it laid the groundwork for DMC3. DMC2 was the first game where Dante got many of the gunslinger and trickster moves that he’s been using ever sense.
-multiple lock on targeting
-airdash
-wall running
-bullet rain
-devil trigger
DMC2 also moved to an urban environment and made the series fresh since the entire first game took place in an abandoned castle.
To play devil’s advocate: all he’s expressing is his desire to make a game better than another game. That’s not, in and of itself, problematic. Or even arrogant.
^ At this point though, I can’t even fathom why Capcom is saying “we” at this point, when Capcom ISN’T EVEN WORKING WITH NINJA THEORY…
Capcom said that it was willing to share its multiplatform development tool with external parties but this game is using the Unreal engine… I’d like to presume that it’s NT’s arrogance and not wanting Capcom’s assistance in making this game but it’s bad to make assumptions…
For Gears of War 2, getting to 30 frames per second was considered a GOAL… and it was one of the most advanced uses of the Unreal Engine this generation imo…
The Unreal Engine has inconsistent frame rate issues at times, and while it can be overlooked in something like a shooter… the same cannot be said with a beat em up type action game where an inconsistent frame rate completely ruins a game, where some of the advanced stuff requires accurate button presses and split second reactions to enemy moves… not to mention that frame rate stutter will definitely break the pacing of the game…
Compared to the Mass Effect 2 E3 trailer… show me one redeeming feature in comparison to the DmC trailer ,which happens to be using the same engine…
The destruction effects of the concrete didn’t even look right and this game has been a work in progress for close to a year if not a year…
Fuck this game and fuck this game company, they can both die in a fire…
Ah, speaking of which they stole an enemy from Devil May Cry 4, even though this is Ninja Theory’s game… it even shrieks and hops at you when it attacks…
Seriously, what the fuck is this clusterfuck of a game?..
Also. NT is making Dante’s guns have a Cool down timer thing. :[
I thought the gun cooldown time was just a rumor?
No its true. NT said they they put it in to stop gun spamming.
