Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Online Problems

If you've been playing Marvel vs. Capcom 3 online--or trying to--you've likely had an experience similar to ours. Lost connections and an irritating cycle of menus have kept us offline in the days following the game's release. Fortunately, Capcom's aware of the issues on PS3 and Xbox 360 and assures us that a fix is on the way.

So far lobbies have been okay for me, but when it came to ranked it seems like I failed to connect to a few rooms here and there.

deafwing5562d ago

yea I hate MVC3 Ranked Online Lobbies; it reminds me more of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2's lobby system; another piece of doodoo online lobby for a fighting game.

capcom took 4 steps back with this one; they were going down the right path with Super Street Fighter IV; ranked lobbies should be more like the Player Lobbies; it's pointless to have to keep searching for people like that and get forced to go back out into the main menu ...

I spend more time in player matches and player lobbies than ranked games ... and even when you get into one ... it's the same crap of; Sentinel, Doom (hidden missiles), Dante over and over again.

Chaos695562d ago

very good fighting game but the online does really suck so far.

Myst5562d ago

Yeah I agree with the sentiment that they took some steps back in this game, BUT at least we will hopefully get it later on down the line. I guess if everyone cries out the same we'd get it perhaps. Similar to how if everyone cries out for the same characters on the capcom unity we could get those characters to.

I've gotten so used to them because a friend kept using Sentinel, Doom and Phoenix. Sometimes Dante as well they are really easy when you have She-hulk and utilize her Heavy Strike move [the hard attack one] or Chun-li. If you chain all of Chun's combos together and use Kikosho after almost each one Sentinel is easy.

Though yeah really fun game, but the online aspect has kept me from doing a lot of ranked which is what I usually did in Super a few days after release.

HOW TO GET INTO RANKED MATCHES (sorry for Caps Lock but I know that it will stand out)

DON'T go into online play and search for a ranked match. If you do that you will never find one. The secret is to go into offline play and into either Arcade mode or Training mode. After you pick a team and are choosing the options (in Arcade it will be difficulty/timer and in training it will be what map) at the very bottom it says Fight Request. Go down to that and change it from Off to Ranked Match. After that start it up and wait for it to find a match for you. I've never had trouble when doing that, and it actually finds matches faster for me.

Myst5562d ago

Ah yeah I remember reading that on eventhubs. Bubbles for the reminder.

jukins5562d ago

yea only lobbies seem to work for me ranked and player take at least 8 tries to get into a match but even then all i see is zero dante and wesker

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy48d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher48d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

1Victor,

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

darthv7248d ago (Edited 48d ago )

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

1Victor48d ago

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.
.
@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

bsingle4048d ago

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher49d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

gold_drake48d ago

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, Will Harness Tech during Development

Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.

Chocoburger49d ago

Using Artificial Intelligence (more like Realistic Stupidity) art assets in your games is a great way to get people to boycott your product. We don't need that ugly, unsophisticated, generic, fake art in our games, good on CAPCOM for not using that garbage.

blacktiger49d ago

Naw you can't fool us, You work with Nvidia, that's a fact! And here you wanted to advertise but now look stupid!
