Hardcore Gamer: "With a few key exceptions, most video games that attempt to include characters from multiple franchises tend to be one-offs that are mediocre at best, with the thrills that result from unique characters interacting with one another not being able to sustain the often second-rate gameplay and thematically-conflicting story. One of these crossovers that has managed to stand the test of time is Marvel vs. Capcom, which has been pitting beloved comic book and video game characters against one another since the ’90s. The franchise has continued to evolve into one of the genre’s most noteworthy over the past two decades, and on the end of the series’ twentieth anniversary, Capcom revealed the franchise’s sixth entry, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, at PSX. Despite new characters and the inclusion of a cinematic story mode for the first time in the series, Infinite’s shockingly small amount of modes and depth puts a serious damper on this entry’s enjoyability."
These fighting game series have been sitting out for too long. It's time for them to get a sequel.
to be fair, there were three capcom vs snk titles. 1, Pro & 2 but only one SvC Chaos. If there is a capcom/SNK crossover that needs a new entry it is that one.
It's time for a C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
The article states Tekken 7 might be the best fighter currently available on Xbox, but leaves out important information that it never takes advantage of the Xbox hardware. It never got any kind of patch/boost/upgrade for the more powerful Xbox consoles, meaning it still runs at 720p I believe, resulting in a very blurry look.
Truly wish more devs would respect their products and customers enough to address issues such as these.
What could've been an unbeatable addition to the Versus franchise ends up being a footnote in why publishers shouldn't leave a project hanging with a meager budget.
It had two-person teams instead of the fan-favored 3, and they charged for Venom as DLC instead of including him in the base game, even though Venom was the most-missed omission from MvC3.
Marvel vs Capcom deserved better than Infinite.
MvC3’s mechanics were too shallow, but at least they tried with the roster (THE most attractive part of the franchise).
If they were smart, they’d go back and do a semi-reboot of MvC2 with a hand-drawn style, and just include Marvel characters.
Avengers vs X-men would be infinitely cooler than anything watered down with old Capcom characters. I don’t need Ryu to fight Iron Man…. We wanna have Hulk fight Iron Man more.
I thought the series went into hibernation. The property rights debacle was an understandable reason. It is a pain in the ass. Old games getting their soundtracks removed, games getting taken off of the store, etc. When they announced infinite I went berserk because I understood the trouble they went through to make that happen. They got hype to 100 and then took a giant dump on it. We didn’t deserve that, mvc didn’t deserve that.
I want a capcom versus game. They have enough characters to do it and the budget and properties aren’t an issue
I like infinite but the roster is terrible. Capcom needs to remake mvsc2 asap
Who ever is the head of the art direction for this and SFV needs to be fired.
