No Xbox wow

[Garethvk]

No PS5 either but it will play on it.

[Garethvk]

It can upscale it but with this type of game; I dou t it.

[CobraKai]

True but there’s not even an Xbox One version. Very surprising

[Shiro173]

Ps5 is there

[autobotdan]

Proof the world hates xbox

[LG_Fox_Brazil]

Capcom probably knew that it would't sell on the Xbox and weren't able to get a GP deal, so they mostly likely knew that it would be best to cut expenses and release on the other platforms where it'll make profit

[darthv72]

The mt framework they are using for this is compatible with switch, xbox one and ps4, but not ps5 or series s|x. They could have used the RE engine but they decided not to. It is odd though that they did not at least make xbox one as well.

[Eonjay]

PS4 games work fine on PS5 and PS5 and Xbix use near identical architectures (which is the x86 PC standard). Compatibility isn't the issue. It's clearly a financial decision.

[mkis007]

I've noticed you have said this a lot. The line of thought is irrelevant( MT framework) as they are not releasing on xbox one but ps4. MT framework obviously doesn't enter into the conversation as there is no ps5 version.

[darthv72]

^^I said it twice... I guess twice = "a lot" now.

[mkis007]

Well saying the same thing twice in short succession is kind of lot now isn't it? It's weird to come off as pr for a company.

[Eonjay]

It's pretty gross and entitled to continue demanding that devs go without pay to make something that Xbix customers refuse to pay for.
Imagine if people expected you to work for free.

[JEECE]

I mean, why not leave Xbox out and hold out for a GP payday? You know very few Xbox players are going to pay for this if it's released for a la carte purchase. This is exactly the type of game that they'll anticipate to get as part of GP. So from a leverage standpoint you might as well announce without Xbox, build hype, and try to let the Internet pressure MS into making a GP deal.

Fantastic news! I'm thrilled to finally have the arcade ports of X-Men COTA, Marvel, and Marvel Super Heroes.

[darthv72]

Nice... i wont have to burden my Saturn or PS1 or DC with these. i can just use my switch like i do for the capcom arcade stadium and fighting bundle and beat em up bundle.

[CobraKai]

Love the Saturn.

[autobotdan]

There was always emulators. You can play all these on a steam deck portable since last year

[Petebloodyonion]

I still own my Sega Saturn, complete with X-Men: COTA and a variety of Capcom fighting games. However, as I've noted before, they never produced an ideal port of that game, nor for Marvel Super Heroes.
decent port of Xmen vs SF and Marvel VS SF exist on Saturn with the RAM cartridge.

Now my dilemma; choosing between the Switch and PS4 versions it will probably depend on the backward compatibility of the Switch.

[darthv72]

Pete... if you have MSH on Saturn and the 1mb cart (not the 4mb for this one) it unlocks a 3mb mode in the options. Much smoother animation and loading.

[AdventurerDonLocke]

THE PUNISHER!

[Brazz]

No Xbox.

[Destiny1080]

it would take them five minutes to port this to xbox ???

phil must have upset capcom, with his constant lies and fake crowds

[shinoff2183]

Really though 5 minutes. Damn.

[Escamotage]

MvC2 go for hundreds on eBay. Glad I won't have to pay and arm and leg to play it now.

[purple101]

I had that on dreamcast, should never have sold that console

[Sitdown]

I know the feeling......but repurchased. Don't know what I did with the game.

[gold_drake]

no xbox lol.
wonder why.

[Petebloodyonion]

It could be because it's a PS4 game, and there appears to be a lack of Xbox One games. Alternatively, it might be due to Capcom fighting game enthusiasts opting for a PS4 over an Xbox, especially after the announcement that Street Fighter V would not be available on Xbox.

[gold_drake]

ehhh what?

SFV is a 2016 game.

maybe the games dont sell well over at xbox.
i dont know. maybe they didnt want to opt it for the s but if its for the switch too ..

i dunno.

[Petebloodyonion]

@Gold_Rake
Yes, SFV is from 2016. If you were a Capcom fighting game fan in 2020, your first choice of console for the potential SF6 games would likely be the PS5. Similarly, if you were a Bethesda fan when Microsoft purchased Bethesda, your first choice for a console would probably be Xbox, where you can be certain Bethesda games will be available, as opposed to PS5, where their availability is not guaranteed.

Here's my story
I was once a console enthusiast, but in 2013, I switched to primarily using a PC when Xbox One and PS4 lacked backward compatibility. Now, can you guess which platform I prefer for purchasing digital-only titles?
