Confirmed characters so far are- Strider, Firebrand, Ghostrider and Hawkeye.
What do you think? Is this a great new addition, or is this, with the cancellation of MML3 and the extra streetfighter rehashes the final straw, as it is coming out 9 months AFTER MVC3.
Personally, I'm hyped. I loved the first one, and even though I don't really support rehashes... it's my favourite series. I'd love to know what you guys think

after the amount i shell out on beat em ups from capcom for them to release this is probably the ultimate middle finger to all fans

Until they add Phoenix Wright as a playable character, i'm not interested... If they do add Phoenix Wright I will buy the hell out of that game.

Oh and as for the whole rehashing thing, it does look like a slap in the face to the people who bought the original, but hey i'm assuming Capcom's developing and Capcom is famed for their terrible decisions

 

[starwarsgeek]

Can't wait for it, personally. Strider looks awesome!

 

[Stalydan]

Woop-tee-fucking-doo. True Capcom style right here.

"Hey, people are saying that there are issues with MvC3 and most of it is about character balance, mainly about how overpowered some of the characters feel. What should we do?"

"It's obvious! Release a new game and stop updating the old one!"

"But sir, won't that just make fans less happy?"

"Of course not, we're Capcom, they expect this kind of stuff!"

 

[Amondren]

I'm against game releases that are the same game that add barely any content like this and Dead Rising 2 off the record Capcom is doing this to much.

In between Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3: 11 years

In between Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3: 9 months

Hopefully, Capcom has been earning enough ill will lately that an updated version of the same game released in the same year won't sell well.

For the average buyer, maybe.

For the fighting game fan or tournament player, no.

The people who like fighting games and like MvC, will buy UMvC3. For one, its an updated version with updated balances, more characters(Strider and Ghost Rider were 2 of the most wanted characters), and 2, its more of what the tournament players and MvC veterans want, more stuff to play around with and learn and adapt to. Sure, some people who bought MvC3 before or preordered it are going to be mad, but UMvC3 is gonna sell like hotcakes. Heck, people are already getting hyped up about it.

Glad I didn't buy the original.
I think I'll just wait until they release 'Super Marvel Ultimate Capcom Vs Mega Hyper edition ultra go' version of the game.

 

[Skops]

Bringing back Strider? Awesome. I might just get UMvC3, since I didn't get MvC3 originally.

 

[-Seraph-]

...Why the hell can't they just update the original game with this new content? I could understand if they treated it like SSF4 > SSF4AE, but this is more like SF4 > SSF4 instead....which is fucking retarded.

Just make it an update like Arcade Edition where you pay like 10 or 15 bucks for all the new characters and junk, but nooo they gotta go a treat this like a new game. As much as I like CAPCOMs games, they just feel like the Japanese equivalent of EA or Activision sometimes.

 

[Tanis]

Don't care...unless Gene and a story mode is in it.

Phoenix Wright is confirmed.

 

[AgentBJ09]

you can not fathom the immensity of angry im going though right now

I certainly can, considering Capcom said they would stop making titles like this. But then, they are really bad liars these days, if Street Fighter 4 is any indication.

 

[Bobbety]

I can totally understand peoples anger, and I won't be getting this unless I seen in a bargain bin... But I'm kind of curious to see how Phoenix Wright and Rocket Raccoon play.

BTW, nice job controlling leaks Capcom.

 

[SpartanBlackman]

No Megaman in UMVC3
It's almost like Capcom hates him or something

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

MvC3 was meh after a few weeks but somehow this got me hype...but if the netcode is as crap as now I'm not getting it. Not enough skilled foes around my location and blazblue holds my heart firm in it's epic soft, now with mahou shoujou awesomeness grip .

 

[SpaceBat]

Not surprised here. It's just capcom being crapcom, which means seeing lightly updated releases of the same game for a pretty high price within less than a year over and over again.
Capcom is a pretty shitty developer nowadays anyway, so I honestly don't give a fuck.

 

[That Mo Guy]

I pre-ordered and purchased the collectors edition of MvC3. And honestly, I'm not really upset by Ultimate's existence. Sure, I might of liked to not have a new version of the game quite as soon, but I don't feel that ripped off.

The cost of the characters alone would be $60 if it were released as DLC. Throw in the extra modes, features, and character balance and it seems like a steal.

I mean, I could ***** and moan about how people new into the game will have paid 70 bucks less than I have in the long run. But MvC3 was still a good game. I easily got my money's worth out of the game. Ultimate coming out later this year doesn't somehow invalidate the fun I had months ago with the game. Further, those that buy the game in November don't have a version of the game that can be played now. I do.

And so what if us early-adopters are in a sense beta testers? All that means is that the balance is going to be all the better in Ultimate. All the things that people have complained about in MvC3 have a chance to be fixed and balanced - we already know we'll be getting spectator mode, for instance. Say what you will about how "evil" Capcom is, they tend to make good fighting games and Ultimate only benefits from Vanilla MvC3 being released earlier.

As for the roster, I'm excited for pretty much the entire Capcom side. The Marvel side, I'll admit, I'm not overly familiar with the characters. But I look forward to learning about them. Would I have liked to see some more familiar faces like Gambit? You bet! But from what my comic-obsessed friend tells me, Gambit isn't at all relevant in today's Marvel comics. I understand wanting to put in newer characters over those that just aren't important anymore. I'm not mad at them for that.

The way Capcom is handling this game is a bit shady, I'll admit. I can fully understand why some people are upset. But of all the things Capcom has done to upset their fans lately, I don't think this is all that bad. I look forward to Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
