It really is sad how well this could have tied in. The movie got me hyped again for the concept of the game on paper.
I also think if Marvel mandated the gem concept, and they had to go 2v2 as the result, it should have been an all Marvel game.

Sounds about right.
Out of every single fighting game I've ever followed pre and post-release, MVCI is easily the least talked about game by the developers. It's pretty funny how the long silence after PSX ended up leading to a huge shit storm by E3. Damn, it hurts just thinking about it.
In today's let's get bummed out about MvCI news...
An official "Marvel Gamerverse" Razer fightstick was produced.
With ART!
Honest to goodness artwork! For MvCI!
Apparently it's a prototype? Never got an actual release?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Razer-Pant...de-Stick-PS4-PS3-Rare-Prototype-/183206517736
It can be yours right now for the low low price of $1500 USD~

I do suspect Capcom had something else in mind for these character models.
That art is a homage to MVC1:
MVCI was the Vs game that had the least amount of promotional art compared to all of them. We got stuck with the shitty images from the character select and the victory screen. Outside of that, all we really had was the concept art. The fact that this art resembles the concept art tells me this might've been the intended artstyle. Seeing stuff like this makes me wonder if there's more artwork out there that never saw the light of day.

I'm betting there's some almost finished cel-shader that's a switch away from working with this game. The models outline way too well for me to think otherwise. Marvel probably saw it and was nope lol, throw CA on that bitchThat art is a homage to MVC1:

Also reminiscent but not nearly as good as Shinkiro's art for UMVC3. I actually have this poster framed in my place because I used to work for a used game store, and the owner asked if I wanted this poster cause he knew I was into fighting games and I took it immediately.
That UMVC3 was one of my fav images ever. Still love it.
Shinkiro did tons of artwork for TVC and MVC3. The only thing he appeared to work on for MVCI was the Captain Marvel cover with Chun-Li. This game has little to know promotional art.
There's the cover of the game. The Ultron-Sigma cover for the Steelbook. The shitty renders. The poster with Iron Man, Ryu, X, and Captain Marvel. Um....I think that's it.

Love this poster! There's different art on the other side (not as good though), I have two myself so I can display both sides lol
Not gonna front, Infinity War got me to pick this up on a more frequent basis again. Actually kinda sorta but not really getting the hang of Winter Soldier's stance cancels.
Friendly reminder that Capcom/Marvel was more willing to commission a promo comic for a low key UMVC3 re-release than they were for their big upcoming new entry in the series
Yeah, they really didn't seem to care about promoting this game. That reminds me: did anyone here read that MVCI comic that was exclusive to Gamestop? I think it was based on Black Panther and Hunter.
It looks way better than the ugly-ass alt Cap got in the actual game (via dlc).
There's a couple of copies up for sale on ebay, but I've never seen the actual contents of the comic.
;_;7
And somehow the Contest of Champions face looks better than the MvCI one, fuck.

So there was another update 8 hrs ago.
What the heck is going on?

Interesting that they made a new depot last update but this they went back to the previous one, I guess?
This whole thing is probably nothing.
With E3 just a month away, these possible teases of them working on the game is painful. Hopefully this pans out to something worthwhile. I'd like to think if it were on the smaller end (balancing, bugfixes) it would have been pushed out by now, this has been going on for several weeks.
It appears that the only fighting game Capcom's bringing to E3 this year is for PS4 and PC, ie Street Fighter V.
Unless Sony helped fund the Ultimate version *tinfoil hat*
Really though, yes it's best to keep expectations very low. Any major update, or an appearance by this game at E3 would apparently be a huge surprise that nobody knows about. These steam updates are just driving me nuts.
I have zero expectations. The way I see it, MVCI is done with. These updates are really strange, though.
Nah, Mahvel is dead. It's been dead since the start of the year but I kept getting my hopes up thanks to a few of you in this thread. We just gotta let it go (not the game! It's fun!).
I mean, they're definitely working with the Steam version of the game. We don't know why, what for, if it will even see the light of day, but they are. Multiple updates of builds over the span of several weeks is teasing some kind of support, whether it's bugfixes or what. Not intentionally teasing of course, but I don't feel out of line there.
What little is left of my hope train completely derails at E3 if nothing is announced, but even now my expectations are very low between that and whatever these Steam updates are.

Wouldn't it be amazing if this data we're looking at is actually...Wolverine, Cyclops, Star-Lord, Asura, Lady, Green Goblin, Loki, Akuma, graphical updates, Arcade Mode endings, and various other content?
Lemme stop....
Lemme stop....
I think like most people said, if by E3 there's nothing then the game is dead and buried from a support side of things. I'd say there's a 5% chance of it happening, but given all the negativity and hatred surrounding the game I think Capcom and Marvel might feel that just abandoning it is their best course of action.
Sad part is they're wrong, but we're not being vocal enough about it for them to take notice or care. The negativity drowns out any positives people say about the game.

With that said, why the hell would we get an update if the game is "dead"? Is the update live on PS4? I'll check it out.
Hmm

Yeah I just got hype. Still though, kind of random they'd use that picture.
I've seen people claim that the game will receive an update PSX 2018 or around Avengers 4. The year will be 2036 and people will still be holding out hope for Season 2.
There's no update. There's new branches on Steam's server side.
There has not been an update since February.
Game 50% off on steam, DLC as well.
Yeah, those were the variant covers. Some of them were nice looking. Others...Found this today, either forgot or never saw it up until now, there was some art for the game that looked pretty sweet...
not so much
