After a decade of waiting, iconic Marvel and Capcom characters join forces again in a re-envisioned team fighting game for a new generation. Fill the shoes of legendary characters from both the Marvel and Capcom Universes as you battle in a living comic book art style powered by Capcom’s MT Framework, an advance version of the graphics engine used for Resident Evil 5. Get set for the ultimate face-off when Marvel vs. Capcom 3 hits Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Spring 2011.

Features:

• Innovative graphics and gameplay bring the Marvel and Capcom Universes to life: Powered by an advanced version of MT Framework, the engine used in Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 brings beautiful backgrounds and character animations to the forefront.
• Evolved VS. Fighting System: Wild over-the-top gameplay complete with signature aerial combos, hyper combos and other original systems. The evolved new battle system, the “Team Aerial Combo”, takes the exciting mind-reading game to a whole new level!
• 3-on-3 Tag Team Fighting: Players build their own perfect team as you assign unique Assist Attacks for each character and utilize each character’s special moves to create their own unique fighting style.
• Living Comic Book Art Style: See the most adored characters from the Capcom and Marvel universes brought to life in a “moving comic” style, blurring the boundaries between 2D and 3D graphics.
• New Characters: In addition to the cast of popular franchise characters including Ryu, Wolverine, Morrigan, Iron Man, Hulk, Chris Redfield, Captain America and Felicia, Marvel’s increasingly popular Deadpool and Capcom’s Dante join the game for the first time in fighting game history.

The moment you step into the world of DC Universe Online, you will experience high paced action and physics unlike anything ever seen before, and this trailer is just a taste of what lies ahead for you! Our goal at Sony Online Entertainment in Austin is to combine a fast paced action combat experience that console gamers expect with a huge online world supporting thousands of players…

This trailer also shows the tremendous influence Jim Lee has brought to the table working as the Executive Creative Director on this title – his edgy take on the DC Universe has been transformed from the traditional 2D comic book medium into an immersive 3D interactive environment where you become the next legend! Between now and our release in November, stay tuned for tons of exciting releases from the team – we can’t wait to show you what is up our sleeves!

My only complaint with the footage is the characters look really stiff, I’m guessing the Joker never closes his mouth.

I always wanted to see Professor X in a fighting game!

Mark your calendars for the week of April 5th May 18th. We believe this game sets a new benchmark for open world multiplayer gaming and are very excited to be talking about it properly.

Get your wild bunch ready.

I have an appointment with Dr. Ned at 9 tonight

Microsoft creating a Halo Division, as opposed to an exclusive development studio, is an interesting approach to the traditional development cycle and model for games. They are to manage any entertainment related to the Halo universe, it looks to be the same type of process that Marvel has undertaken to bring all their properties under the same roof. This may mean that the feature film that has been shelved will actually get made. With the announcement of the anime, we will have to wait and see as to the quality.

I wonder if Bill Foster takes an L in this game? Whatever happened to the Thor robot anyway?
