I've realized something about myself recently, and that is the fact that I am no longer interested in games that are created as entertainment. Wasting hours and hours of my life everyday, when I can go ahead and learn more about how to manage my personal finance properly, what I can do for others, and how I can improve myself. A lot of great, long-term opportunities are, as a result, avoided. My primary focus will be on games that are serious ones (anything as a simulation that is meant to educate others, like a real space flight simulator, a business simulator, a documentary-styled game, or even a political one) and strategy/tactics games, which are more consciously-driven rather than hand-eye coordination-driven, making them closer to simulators than to every other genre of games.

sounds like you have no friends that play games with you old person because when you're playing a fighting game with friends it is real, it is more than "entertainment" it becomes about winning and saying OH YEAH YOU CAN DO THIS NOW WELL WATCH THIS BITCH 99 hit combo 99% of your life and it is good looking too

yeah i'm kinda disappointed that there is both a resident evil guy and a frank west (you have a pistol too!???) but i guess frank west is less serious so its ok.

if there should be anything else from resident evil it should be one of the tyrants, not a third guy(or girl whatev) with a pistol.

the other reveals are cool stuff i guess Captain America better still have Final Justice!

The 30~ character roster is disappointing to me. 

[jrjellybeans]

This is awesome. 

Capcom is really making some awesome fighters these days.

The 30~ character roster is disappointing to me.  :droop:

It is, if only because it guarantees that almost none of my favourites are going to make it in, and reduces the likelihood of a ton of wtf selections.  Bye Amingo, Shuma Gorath, Son Son etc. :(

[gunswordfist]

trying too hard to be epic

Word on the street is will be in it.

All I know is Maximo, PowerStone and Forgotten Worlds are awesome.

[gunswordfist]

Yeah this looks crazy.
Would be even crazier if they throw in Disney characters

Dibs on the Genie.

I'm pretty stoked for this. I still think the best one of the series was X-Men vs Street Fighter, but I still love the insanity that ensues in these games. Definitely hope that Deadpool rumor pans out also!! Chances are high what with him getting his own movie and new found resurgence of popularity he's been getting.

Let's hope that Deadpool is in the game and that Ryan Reynolds never dresses up as him ever again.

• Living Comic Book Art Style: See the most adored characters from the Capcom and Marvel universes brought to life in a “moving comic” style, blurring the boundaries between 2D and 3D graphics.

At first I thought this was just going to be SF4 style graphics with different characters, but this bullet point has me intrigued.

[John Nesky]

Yeah, try freeze-framing the trailer during closeups. The shading and details are interesting. Especially the last scene with Chris Redfield pointing the gun at the Hulk.

[Kramlack]

Character art is apparently in game renders. Mind blown.

I am skeptical. The picture of Morrigan has way more cleavage than the one in the video.

I am very cautious of this sequel.  The producer on this game was responsible for TvC which many consider an insanely dumbed down vs. game.  What maintained MvC2's popularity for this long (after the initial "whoa i can play as spiderman") was the consistently active higher level competitive scene, which will ignore this game if it's anything like TvC.  That's where the "decade of demand" line comes from.

Dan better be in it. SAIKYO!!!

marvel vs capcom 2's vs scene is a huge joke though there are like 6.5 characters used competitively

[Chris Z]

The scene is definitely not a joke, it's pretty huge although it's declined in the last couple years and since SFIV came out.  If you're referring to the small amount of tournament worthy characters then yea that's ridiculous, but that's what happens when a game gets played extensively for that long.  In any case, the individual teams are more like the "characters" in the game.  Even lower tier characters are powerful on certain teams and you play certain characters differently depending on the team as well.

this is how sf4 looked in the trailer. those were in-game graphics too, supposedly. they changed it to make it less stylish when it was released.

You're right about SF4 but this new technique looks doable in realtime based on the character art posted.  To emulate the heavy comic book inking it looks like they're rendering black if the light calculation falls under a certain threshold.  Probably not that simple although I imagine it's similar to cel shading but using the light vector instead of the eye vector for edge detection.  Mad World did something similar but with edge detection and only black/white.

[John Nesky]

Not really. Most the shading in MadWorld was painted on as a static texture and had nothing to do with lighting effects.

That said, Capcom has a bunch of experience with flat shading effects.

I like it how, apparently, the Capcom roster won't be Ryu, Blonde Ryu, Tanned and Evil Ryu and pink wearing funny Ryu.

Ah ok, I was just speculating.  That's actually a lot more efficient but probably looks bad as you get closer to the characters without insanely high-res textures.
