Three-on-three matches are gone, and bouts have been trimmed back to feature more traditional tag team matchups. Thankfully, the game actually plays rather well.Īs a heads-up to series vets, the rules of combat have changed a bit. However, it’s not all Doctor Doom and gloom, though. …Oh, and just to really put the boot in, the two characters I was most interested in checking out – the Monster Hunter girl and the Winter Soldier – are both post-release DLC characters that need to be paid for. Viper and Tron Bonne being dropped is bad enough, but when bloody Nemesis is still here stinking up the roster, it makes me wonder whether Ultron might be right in trying to destroy the earth I’m assuming this lineup is largely due to some rights and licensing-based skulduggery preventing characters like the X-Men and Deadpool from making a reappearance, but that doesn’t explain why many more interesting Capcom characters have been cast into the void. While some fan favorites like Dante and Spider-Man are still present (and frankly, it would be impossible to keep every fan completely happy) MvCI feels like it’s retained the dregs from previous iterations while adding only a couple of interesting new faces such as the admittedly-decent Captain Marvel. Simply put, it just doesn’t live up to the standard set by its predecessors. The roster itself is another point of contention. Resident Evil‘s Chris Redfield is probably the worst offender - even though other characters have stranger proportions or uglier faces, Chris has a terrifying thousand-yard stare that makes him appear to be looking straight through anyone he talks to while a seriously confused squint adorns his manly face. Given that it’s now competing with stuff like Injustice 2 and the upcoming Dragonball Fighter Z, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite looks markedly inferior to the competition. Let’s start with MvCI‘s ugly aspects, because there’s a ton to go around.įirst, the character models are fairy bad. That said, as I dug deeper and deeper in, I discovered that it did have some redeeming qualities after all - primarily among them, the combat’s pretty bloody good. My first impressions of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite weren’t good thanks to a remarkably stunted roster missing many favorite series characters, a questionable new look, and a subpar user interface that seemed more suited for a mobile game spinoff. WTF Chris Redfield’s terrifyingly blank expression. HIGH The gameplay is totally up to scratch…
