The Future of Marvel vs Capcom

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 came out with a bang and featured a robust list of popular characters; Ultimate MvC3 came out about a year later. UMvC 3 is still a fan-favorite game that is still played in tournaments around the world, to this day. Capcom released an updated version of UMvC 3 for Xbox One that runs at 1080p and 60fps. Will Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite be able to live to the hype that this series if known for?

I am very cautious where Capcom is concerned, after SFV.

Street Fighter is a great game. It had a terrible launch, with very little content, but the game itself is very good.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola1h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN17h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos15h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN8h ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)

ChasterMies6h ago

I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.

PassNextquestion19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger17h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Mr Logic3h ago

What a stupid thing to say. The elites give 0 fucks what we say on an obscure website in the comments section.

Crows903h ago

You can always reach out and give them jobs at your company man. Don't wait

Profchaos19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto19h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos19h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long16h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel18h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator17h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
