Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is real
Storm Rider:
Embargo's up, so here's what we know:
Final roster will be approximately 30 characters.
Confirmed 3D models on 2D plane, like Street Fighter 4.
Teams are 3 on 3 like MvC2 instead of the 2 on 2 from TvC.
The leaked list of characters was apparently fake (or at least only inferred from the silhouettes behind the logos in the trailer, because Capcom is only confirming the 6 characters in the trailer right now (Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Ryu, Morrigan, and Chris). However, they've also released a bunch of art with more silhouettes, which has led to a bunch of crazy speculation, including some comic characters I've never fucking heard of.
So rumored characters include:
Marvel: Deadpool, Captain America, Black Widow, Super Skrull (?), Mephisto
Capcom: Felicia, Frank West, Dante (or possibly Nero, they look almost identical after all), Seth
Also the bad news: release date is 'Spring 2011', for 360 and PS3. So it's at best a year off.
McTaggart:
30 characters seems a little underwhelming. It's not bad by any means, but it's not half as over the top as Marvel feels like it deserves. As long as I can do Doom/Magneto/M. Bison I'll be happy though.
With SSF4 next week and KoF 13 near the end of this year and BlazBlue CS whenever that happens as well as TvC not showing signs of getting old any time soon I think I can wait a year for MvC3.
Storm Rider:
Considering that they're making full 3D models for all of those characters instead of just sprites, and they're probably going to record VO for them all as well, I think 30 is a completely reasonable size for the roster. It'd be nice if it were as massive as MvC2's roster so they could explore all the really weird shit both companies have.
Mostly I just want Gene from God Hand, especially if one of his Ultras is the Ball Buster.
Other news about already announced games:
Dead Rising 2 has two-player online co-op in the story mode in addition to previously announced multiplayer modes. Both players play as Chuck Greene, and the game's cutscenes do not account for there being two people. Only the host's storyline progress is saved, but the visiting player keeps all the PP he earned in the game.
Case Zero is a downloadable prologue for DR2 that bridges the gap between the two games. You still play as Chuck, and his daughter is somehow involved. Since she's not mentioned in any of the material about DR2 itself, I'm guessing something happens to her which serves as Chuck's primary motivation for the events in the main game.
DR2 finally has a release date: August 31st. Presumably Case Zero will come out slightly before then, but I don't think Capcom said specifically.
Lost Planet 2 will have more player skins that unlock based on your save files of other Capcom games.
Blue Kitty:
Word is they've been working on this since the Summer of 2008
Storm Rider:
I wouldn't be surprised. People are assuming that the Activision-Marvel deal expired at the beginning of this year, which would explain why it took Capcom so long to officially announce it.
