Its official MvC2 is back with online play!

what does everyone think of the “HD” (more like a SuperEagle filter was applied) of the sprites?

Damn! I miss so much shit by not reading current comic books. The only one I knew about was storm getting married.

Here’s to hoping the Capcom press release kit comes with Pringles, Knick’s Jerseys, ripe mangoes, and Press on Curleh Mustaches.

The PS3 demo will most likely only feature Magneto, Storm, Sentinel, and Cable. This will be the version used at EVO West and East. EVO world’s demo v.2 will also have Cyclops and Psylocke. In other words, the whole cast.

Same here! Direct Arcade/Dreamcast port please

fuck yeah, i can’t wait for it to be released.

Rhetorically question much?

SCIV & ST:HDR, on the cusp of a new year…

SFIV…

Blazblue…

KoFXII…

Tekken 6:BR…

And now…

'Dat Mango Sentinal!

HELL YEAH!!!

2009: ***The Year of The Fighter ***

I knew I should have finished reading that… Seem he got punked. Thanos is the man!:annoy:

Unless he’s fighting cable/sent/cap :rofl:

Yes, its been confirmed to be from the dreamcast port.

They did it at a good time too: Naomi was being emulated.

Fuck yeah!!! :party:

Might want to edit the first post with all these details to avoid people asking “Is it the DC version!?” or “can i get rid of widescreen” over and over.
From the Capcom Blog:

"In what will inevitably go down as the worst kept industry secret in recent years, Im very happy to finally be able to confirm that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this summer.

The deal took a good while but its probably our most requested title to bring back, so Marvel and I and a few other people here at Capcom rolled up our sleeves and got it done. I cant stress enough, if you ask for something loudly enough and long enough, well work very hard to make it happen.

So while you may have been able to surmise that something was going on with MvC2, we do still have a few surprises up our sleeves. Let me tell you a little more about how and why this version of MvC2 will be the definitive version.

  1.   Its based on the Dreamcast code base  While the PS2 and Xbox versions of MvC2 were great, there are a few niggling 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, youre 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, its important to help make the game look better. Weve refined our real-time sprite filtering to use even more advanced techniques and were providing two upscaling options for the sprites one weve termed Crisp the other weve termed Smooth. Its a matter of personal preference for which one youll enjoy more. For purists, if youd 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 were 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, theres 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 wont 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 (Europes PSN should follow not far after). Surprise. :)"

God, it will be so funny seeing my Magneto/Cyclops/Psylocke team go through so many Ryu/Ken/Akuma and Wolverine/Iron Man/SpiderMan teams.

As fast as I can go through these… Thanos I got earlier.

Eddie Brock is Anti-Venom now. Reverse the white and black colors on Venom’s outfit and there you go. He’s a good guy. Mac Gargan, formerly the Scorpion has the symbiote now and is the new Venom. Lately, Gargan’s been pulling the suit in so he looks exactly like the black suit Spider-Man.

Spider-Man, didn’t get divorced. The current editor at Marvel Joe Quesada hated the fact that Spider-Man was married. But he didn’t want to divorce them because that would make Spider-Man look older. He didn’t want to kill MJ because if Spidey was a widower that would make him look older too. So… because no one in the Marvel Universe could cure Aunt May who was dying from a bullet wound… :confused: …Spider-Man had to make a deal with Mephisto (AKA one of Marvel’s versions of Satan, Blackheart’s father for MVC2 fans) to save her life. Only Mephisto didn’t want Spider-Man’s soul, he wanted his marriage! So via massive retcon that still hasn’t been fully explained how the hell this freaking makes any sense Spider-Man and MJ were never married, they were just living together. So Spidey making this deal saved Aunt May’s life. And this is the fastest I could explain that one… :looney:

Captain America was shot to death. His old partner Bucky Barnes came back to life and is the new Captain America.

A lot of Mutants lost their powers because that crazy Mutant Scarlet Witch went nuts and said “No More Mutants” did some mojo and made it so. There are only about 200 or so that still have powers. It is conjectured that Magneto still has powers within him but this hasn’t been shown as of late.

Color Edit and we’re great :tup: I actually want that more than custom soundtrack.

Thats still type bull I mean not wanting Spidey to be married because you wanted it that way. I didn’t know thats why it happened

the demo is actual featuring ryu chun strider, wolverine iron man and spiderman only
