It's now confirmed and a demo will be released this Thursday. It's not getting a full HD (or rebalance) treatment, but a 16:9 mode is being added as well as a graphic smoothing filter.

Here's the first trailer. (http://www.marvel.com/videos/650.Marvel_vs~dot~_Capcom_2_Teaser_Trailer)

This is gonna be awesome, any news on a release date?

sounds like hd to me or a least trying to make it work with hdtv's


This Thursday, April 30, PlayStation Network users will enjoy a free, exclusive MVC2 demo! No need to purchase another game, just download it straight to your PS3 and get ready for some triple tag team action (A big thank you goes out to Rommel Hernandez who helped make this exclusive demo possible).

Here are the details of the demo:

Two-player local matches
Six available characters – Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine
Seven selectable environments
Upscaled 1080p graphics
Widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio
Two graphic filter options for character sprites
And other cool options to check out
Make sure you visit www.tu4ar.com for the latest MVC2 news and follow us on Twitter for special promotions and prizes!

They also confirmed trophies and custom soundtracks.

Trophies put it one step ahead of HDR, I guess.

Anyway, this is great stuff. I'll probably buy it, even though I'm not a big MvC2 fan. I wanna see Third Strike, Darkstalkers, whatever on PSN/XBLA.

i wonder how much..i wish they would of updated some of the graphics if not all..
1 less reason to take out the dreamcast

$15

And updating the sprites for 56 characters is pretty much an impossibility! Especially since you're gonna be dealing with Marvel's characters and their standards.

I've been wating for this FOREVER!

Day one purchase for me!

Online play?

Sign me up, I can't even believe this I am so excited.

Online play?

Yes, it says so on the trailer :)

Probably a day 1 buy for me .

The backgrounds will be higher res/detail than the originals and the sprites can be filtered.

No brainer purchase for me. I'd be curious to see the pricing fallout for the dreamcast, PS2 and xbox versions of this game.

Crap :eek: I've got to get my new internet hooked up at the house ASAP!

Is Backbone porting this?

If so, no thanks. They ruined Street Fighter II.

Yes, it says so on the trailer :)

Oh :p I didn't watch the trailer, I am well aware of what MvC2 looks like. Played a ton of this game on the Dreamacasta.

Also, only 6 playable characters? Are they going to charge for the extra characters?

Thats just for the demo. All 56 characters will be unlocked at the start of the full game.

Too bad, I liked unlocking characters...

Hmmm, do I buy this and then relive the agony of playing against
Cable + Sentinal
Cable + Blackheart
Cable + Captain Commando

I would love it if they could somehow rebalance Cable. Friggn jump back, assist, grenade, beam, Jumpback, assist, shoot, grenade, beam.

Cable is awesome. Cable/Jill/Spiderman was always my favorite combo.

I was a Cable/Guile/(Stryder/Spiderman/Captain Commando) fan myself. Oddly enough, I was only ever able to beat my friend once (and he's really good at the game) using a Cable/Guile/Chun-Li team.

The arcade/PS2 game was fine the way it was. I don't see why the game should be fiddled with.

I was always Cable / Gambit / Sabretooth.

Iron Man/Cyclops/Wolverine for me

Whats with all the Cable users ha-ha!?

Cable rocks.

Exactly why he needs to be rebalanced.

Sentinal needs to be rebalanced he was a def monster in the game.

I agree, Cable+Sentinal was the worst combination to fight against.

Anybody seen how much this game on PS2 sells for at gamestop? $79.99 LOL. **** gamestop. This is great. Can't wait.

Holy crap, really?! I still have that game on PS2.

Maybe I should go sell it on Ebay.

Better hurry because once it drops on PSN, it will decline in price.

I saw a copy the other day, case and instructions in good condition. The real laugher is selling the game for that price with that ugly generic gamestop cover and no instructions, like I saw with an xbox version a while ago.

Not worth it. Ebay is selling the game new and used for at least $20.

its thur, why isn't the demo up?

PSN updates go live around 5:00pm. Every week.

Did I miss it but is there a price point for the PSN MvC2?

Marvel VS Capcom 2 has been rated T for Teen by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board and will be available for purchase on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points and the PlayStation®Network for $14.99 when the game goes live this summer.

This is the first $15 game on both the 360 and PS3 that I won't hesitate to buy. I'm going to buy it for the PS3 though.

MvsC 2 was fun as hell, but horribly, horribly unbalanced.

I honestly would have preferred MvsC 1 instead.

I heard MvsC 3 will have over 100 characters including Stan Lee....







ok. Maybe I'm just making that up.

Yep same here.
The demo is up and it's a local multiplayer demo only. ¬_¬

Ugh are you joking? Capcom pulled that crap with HDR and now they're doing it again?

No CPU opponent? :(

Nope, it's local MP only so if you only have 1 controller you cannot even start a match (aside from requiring somebody else to play against). It looks good and plays well however, 'crisp' looks pretty good but having a hard time deciding between that and 'classic' since classic is so much sharper (smooth is a blurry mess).

Sweet pics!

If you cant play with Cable.... good luck.

When is the full game coming out?

July.

What a waste of memory this demo is. I'm so pissed. I thought we'd finally get a good demo that 360 didn't get and they pull this BS. Why not do a single campaign where you fight 3 of the 6, they give you the BS message of coming soon, start up again and beat up on another 3. Let them mix and match. 2 player mode LOCAL? Are we all teenagers with our friends over after school for local matches. Unbelievable.

It seems really odd. I don't get the 'anger' over it though. It's just a demo; a bad one, yes, but just a demo. Seems like people all over the internet are furious, which is kind of ridiculous.

I agree Tez, and suggest that some people need to take a breath and relax for a minute. It was either this or nothing. Personally, although the demo sucks in terms of what it offers, the game itself still seems pretty badass...and I'm on board for a day one purchase because of it.

Because they hyped up this demo and its not even usable for most people. People wanted to log online, check out the netcode, enjoy it a bit before the actual game came out. Now they can't and there's not even a set release date.

Did they? They announced it a day or two before the demo dropped. And they never promised the demo would have online play.

Again, I'm with you that the demo's ****, but why make such a fuss about it?

I don't want to start parsing the word hype, but on Monday they announced this game. TONS of people have been waiting for it. They also said, ON THURSDAY FREE DEMO ON PSN WITH SIX CHARACTERS.

I'd call that hype, just cause so many people were waiting for the game... and they had no problem announcing the characters in it. Turns out the demo's a total stink bomb. Not a big deal in the case of HDR since you could just drop $15 and get the whole thing right there but now folks have to keep waiting.

Why make a fuss about it, if you're gonna make a demo do it right. Demos aren't supposed to be clever ways to piss off your fanbase. Capcom already made this mistake with HDR and took some heat for it. Strange they did it again.

They are mad because you cant do anything with the Demo, unless you have someone next to you. No CPU, no internet challenge, lame

Lame, agreed. Being mad about a demo seems silly.

Acceptance of mediocrity is an invitation of failure.

Acceptance of mediocrity is an invitation of failure.

Who's accepting it? I'm pretty sure nobody thinks this demo is 'fine' without even a CPU opponent option. Voicing disapproval is one thing (I'm voicing mine), being actually angry about it is another.

Who cares, this game is cheesy crap anyway.

When SF4 is out, why would anyone waste time playing this?

Agreed. Though it does have a nostalgia factor that can't be beat, I could never get into the mechanics of any of the vs games.

The versus games (except for Capcom vs. SNK) use completely different fighting engines and can't really be compared to Street Fighter IV. They scratch a totally different itch for true fighting fans.

I just heard the game is out on XBL. That means it will be on PSN tomorrow.

Finally!

"I wanna take you for a ride!~"

Actually, it sadly isn't due for release until 8/13 as far as I know. No idea why, would have preferred an "early" actual release rather than that early demo.

MS has been doing some serious work for their Summer XBLA schedule, so every game on their "Summer of Arcade" lineup is either an exclusive or a timed exclusive (including MvC2).

LOL half of the posts on the Xbox forum were bitching about people quitting while the half were sad they're not good anymore.

Boo

Im an owner of a PS3, what is this exclusive or timed exlusive that you speak of, as i have never heard of this type of witchcraft!:p

Alright, so the game is coming out today. Who will buy it? WHo will pass??

I'm still unsure right now. Might wait for a sale.

I will buy it 4 times

Bargain at 15bux.

I'm definitely buying it. My new arcade stick says so.

I'm buying it, but not for 2 weeks because I'll be away and I won't have my arcade stick with me.

I will have my PS3 though. ;)

I'll be buying it when I get home.

I've had quite a few system lockups in the game menus and during matchmaking. A quick look around a handful of other forums makes it sound like this might be an issue with the PSN version. Anyone else having problems?

I got it yesterday from my friend. FYI, I had to d/l his demo to get it to work. The demo is the game and all you need is the patch that came out yesterday. But it only works with the demo of the user who bought it.

It's now official (confirmed by Capcom): PSN version is jacked up.

First of all, let me apologize on behalf of Capcom for all of the crashing that seems to be occuring on the PSN version. I can assure you that things like using the custom match option and headset use was tested extensively and it's a bit of a mystery as to why these issues are occuring now.

I'm keeping a running tab on the major issues that are coming up and we are currently looking into addressing them. Please keep in mind that development, testing, and approval of a patch can take a while. I wouldn't expect a patch to be released for a month or two.

Again, sorry for any inconvenince. I just wanted to make sure that you guys know that we are aware of the issues and that action is being taken.

Wait to buy this game, since it won't be working right for at least 1-2 more months. :mad:

Good thing I checked this site before I went to buy a 50 PSN store card. I could save that money for another month or two.

I played for about 3 hours. No problems here.

I played for about 3 hours. No problems here.You're lucky. Seems to be happening randomly. Check out the Capcom Unity, Shoryuken, and GAF forums for a taste of the various bugs in the PSN version. The lockups are the worst of them, though.

Glad I found this post, thanks! I tried DL the game tonight and couldn't figure out why it wasn't giving me the game.

No prob.

I haven't played online yet since I just came back from Universal (I'm exhausted). I did play some single player and it seems to hiccup when you fight the last boss. Other than that no issues. However, I'm having trouble hitting 2 buttons simultaneously. I need a stick.

The freezing problem's mostly with the Player Matches. So long as you stick to Ranked play, Invites, and offline play, you'll avoid the rampant lockup problem. Apparently the game also freezes during certain other special situations (player dropouts and using certain menus at certain times), but I haven't run into that myself.

Seems like Capcom just simply can't fix online game match issue, sfii hd, sfiv and now mvc2 still has same issue, the search option is just like sf ii hd very basic. They should able to keep search until find user but they don't The pq is definite improve especially the background, i sold ps2 for like $100, so for $15 plus improve graphic is a steal almost, the vibration do not work, and no longer has button confi for all punch and kick which is a lame, they don't let you to use L2 and R2, the sound is remain the same awful sound.

Overal you won't expect much for this price on nearly the same game. Aleast they come with all chracter from the beginning, i do agree unless you really like mvc2, you might be think downgrade from sfiv. I prefer origina mvc1 over 2 in my opinion, hope that get port it in the future.

FYI, the game finally got a patch (last week?) to fix a few key bugs including the freezing when searching for player matches.
