*Updated* ATTN: MvC2 demo is out on PSN at this very moment. Get downloading. (shortblog)
Overcrowd | 3:43 PM on 04.30.2009 18 comments


198MB. Currently downloading, so I can't comment on the changes just yet. I think it's pretty safe to say that
this'll be a strong contender for DL GOTY though.



I was always fond of the triple threat of Akuma, Gambit and Hayato myself. Also, (for anyone new to MvC)
considering Ken isn't nearly as vicious and prioritised in this as he is in SFIV, I don't think we'll see that many of
him... so that's a load off my mind. He'll probably be replaced by Magneto, Cable and Sentinel though, which (in
my mind) is worse.

On a slightly less melancholic note, the addition of custom soundtracks was a masterstroke. No longer will we
have to suffer through that song while deciding who to choose out of 56 fucking unique characters.

UPDATE: So it turns out the demo is ONLY 2 player offline versus. So I can't even play it.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Only six characters to choose from, too; I guess that's not too bad. It is a demo, after all. Those are
Strider, Chun-Li, Ryu, Wolverine, Spider-Man and Iron Man. On the other hand, there's a delicious
crispness about the new revamped UI that I like and a small guide to playing is included, which I thought was a
nice touch. Yes, that is literally all I can talk about. :(



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

ROYAL FLUSH!

Nah, I always used Jin (or whomever the fellow is from RobotWarrior), Strider,or Wolverine.

I could never beat MvC with them, because onslaught would tear me a new one. I always had to use Ironman/Ryu to finish the job.

Aww, lame, it's local multiplayer only. Gotta wait until tonight for my roommate to get back then...

Local multi only? Wtf! SSFIITHDRMDSQWERTY did this too. Developers really can be idiots sometimes. Maybe they'll update the demo as the release date approaches. ...No they won't.

What the shit, Capcom. What am I supposed to do with a local multiplayer only demo? God damn it.

I've never gotten into MvC, so i hope the fighting system doesnt have a steep learning curve..

BULLSHIT.

I had another controller but I gave it to my brother because I wasn't (ever, I figured) gonna use it.

I own both a PS3 and 360 so everytime I come to a platform dilemma, I usually go with 360 because of the larger personal community (and cheevos, but I'm not a whore).

This is not that big of a deal though, I've got it on PS2 anyway... But man, what I'd give just to see those fucking beautiful sprites on my TV.

Why do people think it's Mag/Sent/Cable?

It's Mag/Sent/STORM!!

By the way, to my chagrin, the game isn't re-balanced. Strider is still a piece of shit; so we can expect the same un-even tier system as before...
