If Disney had a problem with violence overall, they wouldn't be okay with the likes of Kingdom Hearts or Epic Mickey. The way I see it, the very idea of a game where a player can actively make Mickey punch the shit out of Donald makes them incredibly uncomfortable, even in a cartoony way.

More on-topic, if MvC4 happens, I would really like them to keep the third-parties out of it. It kinda tarnishes the whole concept of two major sides colliding when you suddenly got this extra third guy or two in the mix. Keep it pure.

Disney is going to need to rethink their approach to video games in general in the near future. They don't seem to think it's a worthwhile medium, so they don't really do anything with it and leave the actual creative work to others. If anyone has the potential to do really amazing, interesting things with their characters and make some exceptional video games, they do - Disney has the money and power to excel at basically anything they set their mind to. But they don't seem to take it seriously. I was expecting Star Wars to eventually be the thing that kicked them in the pants over it, because of how big a portion of the Star Wars franchise's marketability and appeal is centered around video games - they'd be letting a big opportunity pass if they continued to do nothing about it. But I dunno so far.

IF MVC 4 is really announced this weekend, this may be an indication that Disney has received a wakeup call. Disney pulling all their licenses from other studios and instead focusing on "in-house" productions like Disney Infinity was allegedly because they wanted to keep everything under one umbrella, but Infinity being discontinued and their game division being shut down might have finally gotten them to realize they had the wrong approach.

Current rumor floating around is they're trying to get some actual MCU actors to voice their characters. That'd be neat if true but I'm not sure how feasible it is (though I know Disney did get Sam Jackson to voice Nick Fury in Disney Infinity).

That is a horrible idea. That's money that could be better put towards literally anything else.

Considering how often they hire alternative voice actors already (for things like Disney Infinity and the cartoons,) I doubt that they'd waste too much time with it.

Though I'm sure it'll still happen depending on a combination of cost and how up for it any given actor would be.

That sounds like pure speculation though. Most of those actors would be to busy.

@Beatman 1: Kamala's powers would work really well in a fighting game and she can do more than just stretch.

@KnownUnknown: Kingdom Hearts is 100% Disney-owned, I thought? I mean, it says "(c) Disney / Developed by Square-Enix".

I do believe Square-Enix retain rights to all of the original characters.

[up]Um...are we sure that's fake? How do we know it's fake? Because I kinda think it looks legit.

Also, is this guy still pulling stuff out of his ass?

PSX is coming in literally less than 24 hours (it's at 9:30 am tomorrow, right?) and I'm not sure what or who to believe...

I want to believe we'll see Marvel vs. Capcom news tomorrow, but I don't want to believe that it'll get rid of the X-Men characters and Dr. Doom.

Because if it's true, the whole "Marvel pretending that X-Men don't exist because of how Fox has the movie rights and doesn't want to share them" thing will have gone waaaaaaaaaay past the point of "petty".

EDIT: IIRC, Marvel vs. Capcom probably wouldn't even be a thing if it wasn't for X-Men: Children of the Atom, so if the Mutants don't show up this time, it won't be "sticking it to Fox." It will be madness...

As for a reboot, MVC has never had anything remotely resembling continuity.

[up] This isn't Netherrealm who do craft a big story and film as a framing element.

Although trying to justify the dimensional insanity could be kinda funny if they went that route.

Edit: Screw it. Capcom needs to make a Netherrealm style story mode. Characters interacting, licensed music during the inevitable Guardians of the Galaxy chapter (Rocket could return or have him be an assist to Groot), the whole nine yards.

Sooooooooooo...

Ignoring all rumors apart from "Marvel vs. Capcom 4 might be announced either at PSX or the Capcom Cup tomorrow", do you guys think we'll see any X-Men at all? Or at least Wolverine and Deadpool?

Hashil Since: Aug, 2010
#8767: Dec 2nd 2016 at 10:57:07 AM

I think they may as well try for a real story this time. Netherrealm's success is in large part due to their games having hands down the best story modes in any fighting game. Obviously it won't be canon to anything (unless Marvel wants to have a comic series or universe in which it is - apparently the old versus series actually does have its own canon-to-the-multiverse-'verse), but putting that effort into it will draw casual fans into the game a lot better than the half assed single player efforts in every other Capcom fighter until Street Fighter V.

Which, naturally, ripped off Netherrealm's story mode formula because it works extremely well.

Why Marvel vs. Capcom 4 needs the X-Men.

Also, no one's going to seriously answer the question I brought up two posts ago?

I'd say that Marvel would want to avoid the Internet Backdraft that would happen if they remove any fan favorites on their side, like what happened when Mega Man (for some reason) didn't show up in MVC 3.

Also, the rights to Kingdom Hearts characters are wonky. Which is why I don't think Sora will be in Smash Bros.

I don't think that Marvel is sufficiently annoyed at Fox to completely excise them from a non-MCU game. They are working together on a TV show after all.

So, would you guys want a Marvel Vs Capcom game to have a plot a la Street Fighter V?

Cause I would. I totally would.

[up][up] I'd have to see what SFV's story mode is all about first, but yeah, I'm kind of a sucker for fighting games with story modes.

Also, would you guys rather have Classic!Mega Man or X in MVC4?

As much as I love Classic!MM, I'd rather have X since he hasn't shown up in forever and I'm pretty sure weve had our fill of Classic stuff for a while. Plus, it could make for some interesting reactions for Tron Bonne:

Tron: Hey, you look an awful lot like someone I know. Are you some long-lost twin brother of his? Maybe I can use you as leverage to get him to go out with me. evil grin

It's basically a cheesy 80's-style action movie in fighting game form. And against all odds, it's glorious, using all the characters' fun character types to full effect.

A hypothetical Mv C 4 storyline probably wouldn't be too much like it, especially if it were written by a Marvel writing team, except for maybe where the Street Fighter characters are involved. I wouldn't expect it to be either, but to have more of a Crisis Crossover kind of feel.

But some of V's over the top-ness would be appreciated still. Especially if Zangief is in it. I want to see him MUSCLE! Wolverine's claws or something.
