Because SFV is a great product now and people like the gameplay elements of MVCI? Between Arcade Edition, Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 7 it's obvious Capcom actually gives a fuck when they have the proper funding/time.
No one said that and how stuff like GOTG Telltale points to the opposite bud. Also SFV is far from a disaster and the one aspect that Capcom has most control over (the gameplay) is generally praised for MvCI. So chill with that hot take
Far too many people believe Capcom was 100% to blame. It's ridiculous.
It's not this specific example that matters. It's the fact that it's (additional) proof on how restrictive Marvel was being. If you can't let your characters appear to get comboed in a FIGHTING GAME, what other insane rules did you have? Would you be willing to deny the game a showing at Evo because you didn't want your characters to be seen getting beaten?
Honestly, the art style in MvCI reeks of Marvel's mobile game aesthetic and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they mandated Capcom follow it for brand consistency.
Most likely did. Most of the bad character models were "enhanced" versions of the UMvC3 ones that looked fine. No reason to make the game uglier if you don't have to. There were rumors that Marvel mandated a "hyper realistic" look (which is why metal looks fine in the game). The character models from UMvC3 probably didn't translate well to that type of look.
I'd like to say something, but truth be told, I don't know enough about villains in Spider-Man to engage in such a discussion.
That was when I knew the game was going to be in trouble. The whole Marvel characters rights thing is a complete mess. I've never even read comic books but I know just from cartoons as a kid that Magneto is Scarlet Witch's father which of course means... they're in completely unrelated, disconnect movies. Great stuff.
Hopefully there's nothing going on behind the scenes that negatively affect that one. Perhaps Sony has enough control concerning Spider-Man and there's nothing to worry about.
What? Mister Negative? That's a largely obscure Spider-Man villian let alone a general one.
For a Japanese audience only maybe. Wasn't that game a licensing nightmare? But yes I do want a Speed Racer v Abigail match just to see what the win quotes would say.
The art style/direction of the game was definitely all Capcom. IIRC, the dev team originally had an aesthetic more in line with MvC3 for the game, but they changed it to what it is after focus testing feedback from Capcom USA.
Also Capcom, just make Capcom All Stars or Capcom Vs Capcom. That's all you need to do, and add Nina from Breath of Fire to the roster please.
