Modok VS Magneto: Marvel VS Capcom 3 video face off

While you can simply watch these two videos introducing MODOK and Magneto to the Marvel vs Capcom 3 cast, we wanted to simulate the experience of being at New York Comic Con. The Marvel Games panel was bursting with energy, with fans cheering on their favorite characters. Who would you want to play as? The obscure, but awesomely named and shaped "Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing" -- or fan-favorite Magneto? Let us know.

redDevil875681d ago

Why? What about Gambit, Carnage, Punisher, Blackheart?

Whos knows they might be coming later but Modok? wtf...

LightofDarkness5681d ago

They have a certain quota of "weird" to fill, apparently. Not weird as in odd looking or anything, but weird as in "really, M.O.D.O.K?"

As for Magneto Vs. Modok, I don't think we have to debate about that fight: master of magnetism vs. a thing made almost entirely out of metallic machine parts.

Baka-akaB5681d ago (Edited 5681d ago )

meh , so many complaints and whining as usual with the reveals .

When they first added Blackheart to the games , do you really think that's what most Marvel fans wanted in the roster with so many big villains and heroes ?

Of course not , he was and still is a minor character even if powerful ... he's a wannabe Marvel introduced to adds some variety to constant appearances of Daddy Mephisto , Dormammu and a few other demons .

In comparison M.O.D.O.K is a regular marvel villain that appeared everywhere , including a few important arcs . He deserves a spot every bit as much as Blackheart .

He's there for a good reason i bet , he's been featured quite a lot again recently , especially in ms marvel , Hulk and captain america most recent stories . Ifanything , ti's at least good sign MS marvel might make the roster imo

@LightofDarkness

MODOK still got various force fields and psionic power to defend itself .

Anyway the world would be a better place with Sinister in the game :p

LightofDarkness5681d ago

Agreed on both front. I guess it'd be hard to nail down some moves for him though. Generic blast, teleport, then...?

True about the weirder choices though. I mean who, outside of Dr. Strange die-hards, would care or even know about Shuma Gorath? Still I am interested in having these guys in the games, where else do you see them outside of select issues of their respective nemesis' comics?

Baka-akaB5681d ago

yeah Sinister's fighting has never really been fleshed out .
Besides telekinesis and energy projections , one could always have him play as a mind controller with a few summoned marauders clones for some of his specials ... but i dont think Capcom would go that road .

Some guest appearance would be cool however .

About your second point yeah ...
wich gives very little reason for the current complaints .

No one cared about Blackheart , Marrow , Shuma Gorath and a few other Marvel chars before they were added in the game .

Among most X-men fans Marrow was even widely hated , a poor excuse to have someone instable on the teams , a la Wolverine , with widely disliked design ... at least till the game .

JsonHenry5681d ago

Wow. MODOK? Awesome!

I have not kept up with who all they are going to add to this game. But this is weird choice. I know they added Wesker, which is one of the people I have been wanting for a while. Now if we can just get Thanos, Carnage, or Loki I will be happy. :)

Baka-akaB5681d ago

i dont think Carnage will be there ... he hasnt been relevant nor cool since the 90s , even if his return is planned in comics .

I dont even believe we'll see any spiderman foe , besides maybe some that became also avenegrs foes , like Green gobling and the current Venom .

Loki and Sentry could be awesome yeah ... i have even a feeling one of the two could be the potentially broken character Capcom refered to , with Loki's insane magic , and Sentry/void's dual personality and nature .

scar205681d ago

I just want carnage is that so much to ask for.

blackburn55681d ago

MODOK moves strangely. He almost looks like he doesn't belong there. Arthur is even worse though.

kagon015681d ago

M.O.D.O.K. (Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing)

It seems its quite powerful despise its appearance, in fact its combat style is similar to Cable's(oh! no he is broken).

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 12h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 10h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Nuvem1d 13h ago

Where is the remake?!!!

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde8d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy8d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga9d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19929d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga9d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman9d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger9d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box9d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion9d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv729d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent759d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit9d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz1499d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning779d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
