IGN: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Special Edition Unboxing

You have two choices when you head to the store next week. What comes in the special edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

Jack-Pyro5561d ago

If I had some spare cash, I might've gotten this...

Perjoss5561d ago

no UK release for the special edition, and the 360 version is region locked, Oh well, Capcom doesn't want my cash so regular version it is!

jahcure5561d ago

who the heck would want to play this on xbox tho? Well unless you got a fightstick..this would be even more torture than ssfiv with that dpad.

I have both consoles and this would be played on my ps3. I even ordered a hori stick today from amazon

kenjix5561d ago

Yeah I was wondering the same thing? Why would anyone get this on the 360? Maybe it's just an unboxing of the 360 version since we won't see it as I'll have my own hands on with the PS3 version.

BX815561d ago

The 360's d-pad sux but is there an after market controller that keeps all the great features and has a better d-pad? Not sure if I'm getting this for the PS3 or xbox yet.

3dawg5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

"Why would anyone get this on the 360?" this is ign. thats why.

edit: but if you only own a 360 by all means get it for that system no point on getting it on the ps3 if you don't have one

AznGaara5561d ago

Theres a Ps3 version in the background...

I own both systems and though I usually reserve fighters for my Ps3 I am getting this on the 360 (own a fightstick and modded it) cause all my friends have 360's.

protekjv5561d ago

so $69.99 for a comic book, and a "metallic case"? right.....

Giru0175561d ago

...and the $59.99 game disk 'ya know, along with a $10 voucher for Jill and Shuma once they are released next month... So if you're planning on getting them down the road, you're basically paying the same amount except that you get a metallic case and comic for free (along with 1 month access to the marvel unlimited comic thing)

protekjv5560d ago

tempting but i'll pass. I have better ways to spend $10. I'll just wait till capcom release its countless dlc of characters.

BX815560d ago

I agree. Not with the price being off but they could've done more for a collectors edition of this game. A sweet statue would've been nice but the game is going to be great I'm sure.

SovereignSnaKe5560d ago

and the regular edition will probably come in the (Lovely) Eco-Case... ugh... :(

bestofthebest5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

xbox version usually runs better online and offline just look at ssfiv the ps3 version of that game did not run as well as the xbox version it had input lag and lagged alot more online. dpad is crap on xbox but nobody uses it they either use analog stick, fightstick, or fightpad. Just to let everyone know I have both consoles and have both special edition versions preordered but I might be selling ps3 one for profit its going for alot on amazon.

Jinxstar5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

If your gonna point out "facts" provide proof otherwise your trolling. I also used to own a 360 and all my PS3 games ran just as well and in some cases better online then my 360 games. This is just my case though. Everyone has different experiences but when you say "just look at ssfiv the ps3 version of that game did not run as well as the xbox version it had input lag and lagged alot more online. " you are stating a fact without proof... I played a lot of SSFIV and SFIV and had very few laggy matches. Also no clue what kind of input lag your talking about...

bestofthebest5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

you want proof just google it. type in input lag ssfiv ps3 version. It is known by most who are serious in the fighting community that the xbox version of ssfiv runs identical to the arcade version. As for lag online most multi-platform owners would state that xbl runs smoother than psn.

Baka-akaB5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

The input lag is minimal and mostly if not only noticeable extremely talented and pro players .

Even then , when not playing online on 360 , most tournament are held on ps3 just fine , wich shows that the input lag , while unforgiveable on capcom's part , is nothing important .

Hell you could have just said that the game is a little bit less aliased on 360 , wich would be a better argument there than input

The ps3 version of SSF4 handle online just fine ... when you lag it's usually because of those damn built in wifi users .

The only real reason why you'd see more famous folks on 360 is well convenience . With ssf4 japaneses , chinese , korean any other pros from asia couldnt miss the chance to kick some more american pro derrieres (especially with money involved).

With most of those american players on xbl , and the EU on the fence , might as well just pick the same place as everyone else .

Jinxstar5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Baka-akaB is right. EVO tournaments are always held on the PS3 version. Why? No clue really but if they do it there then input lag must be so minimal as to not make a difference and kinda negates your argument.

Googling something like that will bring up 50 biased websites that all have their own fanboy agendas. If someone like Digital foundry did a test like that then you should support your own argument with links otherwise it is still trolling.

Like you said below though. Your choice is 360 and thats 100% valid but don't mix opinion with fact. Otherwise people will constantly disagree with you. If you do wind up getting it on PS3 add me. I got me a TE fight stick too =D

jahcure5561d ago (Edited 5561d ago )

i can't agree with you here. i have BOTH sf4 and ssf4 and they BOTH run well online. I have my psn tag in my profile and u can check to see my truths. I have ALL online trophies for sf4 and missing 2 for ssf4...i've played well over 1k game across both so i know you're not being truthful about the online.

Also if you only use the thumbstick to play you already sold yourself as a shotoken noob..unless you have a fightstick, the dpad is the next best thing in line.

EDIT: There is a reason ths ps3 version totally outsells the xbox version. Also all tournaments (the ones i've been to) are played on ps3s...so much for your "lag and serious players" theory

bestofthebest5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

i have a fightstick (TE's) for both consoles and you are right about tournaments using ps3s so yea its not that big of a deal with the whole input lag I guess its just MY choice of console.

jahcure5560d ago

that's fair enough if it's your choice for whatever is your reason. Just try to be careful of the blanket claims and trying to down such a marvelous game in the name of console loyalty.

Technically the game works well on both consoles. The difference comes in the base equipment that the majority will have. Less than 20% of the players will buy fightsticks and even less of those will use sanwa parts. This is where the ps3 comes on top and hence my question as to why would anyone (general public) play this on xbox360. After dealing with sfiv and then ssfiv i would be insane to punish myself a third time.

KillerPwned5561d ago

I knew i should of got this. I cant find it anywhere, That $10 credit on amazon for the regular edition got to me right away tho.

Every Marvel vs. Capcom Character, Together At Last

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.

PurpHerbison2265d ago

Love art like this. Good stuff.

PhoenixUp2265d ago

Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more

So much wasted potential

Every Capcom Vs. Game Ranked

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.
