Capcom: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 'not part of deal' to re-release MvC2

If you're thinking the pending digital release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is any indication that the path is clear for "Marvel vs. Capcom 3," think again. "The short answer is no, that's not any part of this deal," Capcom's Seth Killian lamented to Joystiq at a media event yesterday. "What we're hoping is that if people get really juiced about this title, and we can show Marvel that there's a lot of heat behind this, then they'll open up the door for us to do something with '3,' which is something we'd love to do." For now, licensing issues are preventing further developments.

I think its because EA or Activision still has the rights to do marvel games. So until there contract is up, will have to rely on ports of old, which is still not bad.

KrisXX5883d ago

Marvel said at NYCC during one of the panels that even tho other companies have rights to make games, in the end, Marvel still owns its characters and can have multiple companies making game with its characters. The only issue is only 1 company can do movie-based games, which wouldnt effect capcom.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1446d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1445d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1445d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.

Knightofelemia1617d ago

They should have added Alliance 1 with 2 and Xmen Legends still great games that I own and play.

neutralgamer19921616d ago

Physical media especially for these licensed games

autobotdan1616d ago

Unfortunately this game was never on a physical disc for ps4 or xbox one.

neutralgamer19921616d ago

Oh yeah I have these on ps3. Activision probably missed their chance but they just wanted the quick buck

Profchaos1616d ago

Anything with a license at all any open world game with real world music on the radio, sports titles, racing games, rythem games the list goes on.
It's only stuff like tlou or horizon where it's all end to end Sony IP that I have no concerns about buying digital

addictedtochaos1616d ago

Only for Europe at this time. 🙁 They were initially delisted the day before I went to buy them.

autobotdan1616d ago

Grab it while you can asap. Fun game and it should already be backwards compatible on ps5. I already have the digital 2 pack of both original Marvel ultimate alliance games on xbox one. I purchased them on sale just before they got delisted

Can Marvel Crossovers Ever Escape the Infinity Saga?

This month, nearly a decade to the month after the release of its predecessor, Nintendo released Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, a return to the beloved ARPG Marvel gaming series that takes comic book crossover mania to a team-based beat ‘em up conclusion. But it also serves as a reminder that...god, things were so different back when Ultimate Alliance 2 was coming out, weren’t they?

Yeah. Just wait until the next big storyline is revealed in the MCU. Then all the crossovers will be about that.

But the Infinity Gauntlet is one of Marvel's most famous and popular stories. Even the fighting game Marvel Super Heroes was about it back in the 90's, long before the MCU was even an idea.

I agree it's time to move on. But with the MCU becoming far more popular and reaching way more people than the comics ever did, sadly we are living in a world where the movies will dictate most other forms of media, not the comics. At least, that is, until the MCU eventually runs out of gas. Which it eventually will just like all movie trends. But it could take quite a while for that to happen.

AK912143d ago

It depends on who the next big bad will be in the MCU universe.
