Has anyone else gotten the new issue this month? The first thing I read was the 5 page article bout MvC 3 and the beginning was exciting until it got to the game play. If you haven’t gotten a chance to read it and are interested in the future of this series I suggest you do.
Good Stuff
1- Assists and 3 man teams still there. alpha, beta, gamma assits types as well.
2- new character from both sides: Deadpool, Dante, Chris Redfield are for sure characters. Detailed backgrounds are a bonus.
3- If the pictures are real game play photos them this game is going to be beautiful.
4- Marvel is pushing for a better story than previous games. This can be bad if more focus is on the story than the game.
Problems
1- TvC controls while not a big deal I don’t know how this will affect the feel of the game. I haven’t played TvC so I don’t have much to say. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this part.
2- launchers are now a dedicated button instead of part of the combo. I don’t particularly like this but I agree that this while be a fun thing to learn but it might betray the feel of the game.
3- simplifing game play for new comers. I see where this is coming from but sf4 wasn’t simplified(besides shortcuts but i don’t use em so yah) and look how great it has become
What are your opinions on this? Do you think this game will keep the important core game play from the previous titles?
