While Marvel is to blame for the roster on their side.

Capcom is to blame for all the shoddiness of the game as a whole.

After all, they were the ones that didn't want to make it in the 1st place, and only allowed it to happen once Capcom USA took over the costs of the project and made it as cheaply as possible.

 

 

I heard it was all Disney tho, they had specific mandates, and I kid you not, where Capcom was instructed to make their characters look far less visually appealing than Marvel's. If reports are to be believed 😂

Yet despite the low budget that managed to have good netcode 👀

Mostly because they were re using the Kagemusha netcode from SFV.

Perhaps is only saving grace 🤣

Yeah, i remember those rumors, but tbh, it doesn't really make sense, because no matter how you slice it, it wouldn't benefit them to have their character looking good (which they didn't, lol) while the rest of the cast looks like trash.

 

There are some snippets of that rumor that sound plausible going with what we know about Disney/Marvel and how they handle their licenses and how capcom has been very neglectful about how they handle their fighting games.

 

But most of that sounds like made up bullshit by a 4channer if you ask me.

 

For example, is believable that marvel micromanaged stuff about appearance and what kind of animations the chars will have, since is something that was documented from mvc3/umvc3, where they were very anal on how the chars should be portrayed, and, for example, what hand gestures dr strange will do for every spell.

 

But is not believable that they will impose how the chars of capcom will have to look, since they don't have  a say on that regard. They don't own the chars, and is against their interest of the game succeeding to have chars looking like meth addicts, since it will push away their business partner and brings negative attention to their brand.

 

Is believable that the game was made on a smaller fraction of what SFV had as a budget, but is not really feasible to think that it was made with the equivalent of SFV first DLC wave, unless we assume that the 1st wave was over budget and/or that includes the budget of the story mode and extra features that were added down the line, whicn in that case, i can see it?

 

Then we have other factors that the rumor/leak claimed that are demonstrable false, like that mvci reused assets from mvc3, which by itself is not really a negative, imo.

But when you compare 3d models and animation data, you can see that while there could be similarities in some, in many others it looks like they were made from the ground.

 

I presume because mvc3/umvc3 ran on the MT Framework, and the 3d models and animation data were not probably compatible with the tools capcom usa were using alongside UE4, not to mention that most documentation was probably in japanese.

 

I am all for giving shit to Disney, but they were not the only ones to blame for mvci fiasco.

Damn, Activision got no case in court.

I see upper management going to jail over this.

Waiting for Activision to drop the new CoD trailer to try to make this all go away. 

[DoctaMario]

Meh, I bet the people who buy CoD, madden, etc won't care about this at all. I expect a lot of this Acti-Blizz stuff to blow over in a month and everything will be back to normal by the time Diablo 4 drops. People have short memories for this kind of stuff.
