The backgrounds, which were originally 3D, are being rendered at 1080p.

But the characters, which are sprites, are simply upscaled (you can choose what type of upscaling you want for the sprites, which is cool).

Wow, that Iron Man "strategy" video is awful. The narrator talks about several moves, but the video doesn't actually display them. Then for an added bonus, it's flat out wrong when it says that Iron Man only has the one hyper combo, the Proton Cannon. Iron Man also has the deluge of rockets that shoot straight up and rain pain on his rival's head. I can't now recall the name of it, but it was quarter circle down-back + KK.

I`m SO looking forward to this although I`m gonna get a serious ass beating on live.. :)
@ Bryan: How can you play MVC2 on MAME? It thought it wasn`t yet emulated!
Cheers

MvC2 runs on SEGA's NAOMI board. I'll leave it at that.

Ugh, so dated. Why can't they work up a sequel using SFIV's engine and kick the speed up a few notches?

Because it costs more money now than it's worth to redo it all.

Allow me to clarify that.

Recently Marvel has become much bigger than it was when the game was made. The amount of money it would cost Capcom to have an acceptable number of Marvel characters would likely be far greater than acceptable.

This is why they've done the Capcom VS Tatsunoanuenaksedau stuff instead. It's cheaper.

It's because "I'm gonna take you for a ride!" is fully of sexual innuendo.

As much as I loved the Marvel vs. Capcom (& preceeding X-Men vs. Street Fighter) games over MAME, these vids just highlight how basic the tactics really are - if you can start juggling your opponent and keep them in the air, you're unbeatable!

Still, the Hyper combos are gratuitous in a good way.

Wolverine and Ryu lock eyes and then throw down, I can accept that, they're fighters after all. Same with Hulk and Zangief, they're just muscle bound slobber knockers. However, Storm saves Jill from a pack of Zombies and Jill launches a rocket at her? What a bitch.

Also, Iron Man is a total douche for unleashing his chest cannon at some poor kid that wandered into his lair.

That "kid" is Megaman. I'm still not sure who was trying to hack into who's system. I think Ironman was trying to hack into Megaman because of the whole "unidentified armor" notice.

Why is this game still being pushed...? Seriously, it's old, it's got an annoying boss, Cable + skill spam > everything, and it's not like the graphics have been updated.

I should have kept my DC copy mint and sold it for $21834082340834 since people are still drooling for this nonsense.

You might have gotten $80 for it....but its nowhere near as expensive as say...FFVII PS1 disc....I've seen those go for as much as $190

but the reason that we go crazy over stuff like this is because it was a part of our childhood....something we grew up on....something that for some reason or another we either no longer have and want to play again....OR we DO have and want to play on another system with our friends that didnt have it, this way we can play people around the globe....cant fault them for pushing it....

I guess you're right, but why not re-release all the old Street Fighters (Alpha 3 and SF3 in particular) and give them a SSF2HD treatment..?


....oh right, that might bite into SFIV's sales, huh.

Seriously, am I missing some sort of codec for Joystiq videos? They're always stuttery and then the audio lags, but I never have this problem as much when streaming videos anywhere else.

Mega Man was one of the more crappy characters in the game. Iron Man has a pretty brutal hyper move. Iron Man would destroy him no problem.
