GP: All in all, MvC3 is undeniably a fine product, the result of a labor of love from its creators, and, indirectly, the fanbase that supports them. I'm sure some will be dissatisfied -- if you're expecting to play MvC3 like tournament MvC2, you'll likely wind up disappointed. But if you take MvC3 for the game it is, rather than the game anyone else thinks it should be, you'll find a fighter packed with fun gameplay elements, a great variety of characters and strategies to utilize, and the potential to remain a favorite far into the future. I'll likely be practicing and improving in this one for quite some time -- I still have a ways to go -- and I look forward to seeing how the game will grow into the future.
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?
I'm having fun watching guys play it on justin.tv. The pace of the game just to damn fast for me.
I have preordered this :)
Hope I get it on friday!!
Wow so this game doesn't have to redefine the genre to get a great score...interesting. I should have it later today.
