Especially now, considering all the hard-pressing titles that are flooding our stores. Developers really need to be at their best to even compete with what’s currently available, and what soon will be. I love Marvel, and I love Capcom — so, how could a sequel to what is, in my opinion, one of the greatest fighting games let me down?"
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 wasn't expecting such a low score, but after reading this review I am very surprised that other writers ignore these very trivial flaws. The game-play may be solid, but it seems like Capcom are taking a piss on their fans. It's 2011 -- if anything, games should be jam-packed with content, at least the basics, and that's what this game is lacking.
pfft, online is fine. It's a 1v1 game anyway, and it's pretty solid imo.
MvC3 6.0/10 [Forgettable]; seriously? When you review fighting games this early in you need to explore the available options they have for the players. 38-something characters, over 50,000 different team combinations, each with different strategies?
Man whatever.
Review is exactly what I thought of the game.
Worst online this gen Capcom played you guys thank god I rented. I swear to god not lieing fanboys. Blockbuster TY for helping me dodge that bullet lol.
Online needs a bit of fixing. Also want a Spectator feature and replay options. Apart from that the games an absolute blast. And easy 9/10 from me.
