Can this game just come out next week? I can’t imagine how it’ll need more than year of testing to perfect things, because MARVEL VS. CACPOM 3 looks good to go already. Marvel’s released two trailers and quite a few screenshots so far, but now we’ve got no less than two videos showing some fast, frenetic , furious and fantastic gameplay. Before we get to those, I’ll direct your attention to this image to the right, which was the official SECRET WARS-style t-shirt design Capcom was handing out at E3 last week (and, incidentally, this game absolutely cleaned up at the expo’s awards.) It’s the first promo art I’ve seen that’s confirmed Deadpool and DEVIL MAY CRY’s Dante, but it’s still keeping at least six additional characters in silhouette.
Obviously, that’s Super Skrull’s signature outline lurking to the left of Ryu, and Chun-Li’s distinctive profile to the right of Iron Man. Your guess is as good as mine as to who the collar-sporting dude right above Cap’s shield and the bald guy next to Deadpool are. I’m going to bet that Dr. Doom’s standing right behind Super Skrull, but I’m not positive. There’s also some tall, flame-covered individual lurking behind the logo. The most obvious candidate is Blackheart, but it could also be Ghost Rider or, given how game bosses tend to lurk in the background like that, possibly the Sentry/ Void since a lot of you speculated that was him coming out of the vortex at the end of the last trailer. == TEASER ==
Anyway, here are the videos. The first shows some three-on-three tag combat as Cap, Deadpool and Wolverine take on Dante, Ryu and Chris Reddfield. LIVE AND LET DIE!
This second one swaps in the Hulk for Wolverine and is featured at a more Capcom-focused level. My concerns about the gameplay being slower because of the 3D models have been swiftly eradicated by these. If anything, the pace is even MORE insane than MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2's was.
