Honestly, I can’t for our generation to become directors and developers of major game companies so they can shell out what we want. Hopefully, they can make it across the notion of big bucks as the end to define the mean.
By decent do you mean untested, unbalanced, with 10+ year old sprites and an archaic graphics engine. Face it the days of 2d fighting is done. With the shit that capcom pulled with cfj who would play a cookie cutter mvc3? Oh wait nevermind, the 0.00001% percent of people in the us that still plays mvc2 competitively would murder their parents for that game with no hesitation. It would be retarded for EA to make this a 2d game. I know that shit wouldn’t sell 3d is the future might not want to be what people want to hear but its the truth.

you’re way too naive and idealistic if you actually think this has any chance of happening. the kind of people that will make it into those positions are the ones who will always go for the biggest profit. sorry.
Why do I care if this game sells even one copy? I don’t. I merely care about playing games I enjoy. If this is one, great. If not, oh well. The amount of money EA makes off this game does not affect me in the slightest.
What an incredibly short-sighted statement. Did the amount of money made by XSF, MvC1, and MvC2 effect you? It sure as shit did, because now you’re not playing MvC3 made by Capcom.
If you’re a casual gamer and play all kinds of games, then this isn’t a big deal; you go play something else. But if you’re a hardcore competitive player who’s invested in a particular gaming series (cough, most of this board), then the financial success of the franchise directly effects your gaming experience.
The sentiments in this thread show that most people here don’t get it. It’s not Marvel or EA’s fault that you’re never ever EVER going to see another Vs game with Marvel characters. It’s Capcom’s fault.
Of course it is. I guess I found that so obvious it wasn’t worth talking about.
And you’re right, the amount of money a game makes does effect me.
Where did they get their inspiration from? Get the fuck out of here EA. Do you guys think anyone will play this shitty game in a tournament?
If it gets good reviews from nonfanboys on this site ill get it.
are there actual screens anywhere or just these concept art ones
will suck, but look cool.
On a more serious note though, I’m willing to give this a chance, Jermaine O’ Neal assist or not. And while I like CFJ a little bit, Time_stop’s right this time. As a fighting game fan I just need something new.
Then again, I haven’t played this Mutant Academy or the Def Jam games that you guys speak of
I don’t think any company makes a fighting game purely on the basis for tournament play or that they even think about that when making the game. What capcom made SF2 they didn’t think people would actually run tournaments off it. Actually that question can be applied to a lot of games, off the top of my head I think of cfj or svc.

I wanted to bring up another interesting point.
I’m willing to bet at LEAST 50% of the people on here saying “I just want a good game, I dont care how much money the company makes. MvC2 for life.” etc are the same people downloading copies of their game. While the members of this board make up the majority of the people PLAYING the game, they’re making up a very small minority of people buying it.
With 30,000 people on these forums, if we were all legitely purchasing the games as new copies from video game stores, then we would make up a niche worth paying attention to. As it is, we’re purchasing maybe 10,000 copies of the game (rough estimate), which is almost nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands the game will sell.
So, us “hardcore” players are a niche market that is not worth paying attention to.
That’s the long and short of it
SNK is still around…
I am actually interested in how they are going to approach the gameplay. There is no doubt this will not be a Vs. game but it is always interesting to see how people respond to different gameplay especially in the current generation.
Personally I never really liked how the Budokai series started out playing (I haven’t played the last one) but I know there are some that do actually see it as deep. Let’s face it unless it is either Sammy, SNK, a portable or possibily some special event game no 2D fighters will probably receive all that large of a push. The Fighting game market barely pulls in the same percentage of the common gamer it used to, the causal market (aka where the real cash is at) don’t seem to interested in a balanced or complicated 2D game. They want 3D because 3D isn’t the future it is the present.
More than likely like the last entry to the Def Jam series, Smash Bros, and I think Naruto games the controls will be simple and easy to perform cool stuff. Time and a good sit down will tell if they have found a way to make the simple control scheme they no doubt have planned for this game be something that could be enjoyable on a competitive stage.
The GC Naruto games were pretty decent. Take that into consideration on how 3D could be a good medium for a new fighting game.
The Def Jam engine is really freaking good. It’s just an upgrade of the old N64 Wrestlemania engine, which was pretty badass in the first place.
If they get the same team working on it, it might not suck complete arse.

I actually see nothing wrong with the game so far. Well, except that I have little faith in EA.
You know, EA is pretty much the most hated game company and all, but it really wouldn’t hurt to give them a chance, even if the only fighting game they’ve made was Shaq-fu. As such, we don’t know if they’re going to make a totally shitty game or not, whereas the other US fighting game maker, Midway, we pretty much know Ed Boon will fuck up the game since, you know, he’s done it to EVERY Mortal Kombat made.
