Sorry, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Is Disc-Only, You Can’t Upgrade Via DLC

Siliconera writes, "The game is slated to come out in November, but what about people who bought Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Will they be able to upgrade to Ultimate by purchasing downloadable content?"

[DaThreats]

I pity the ones who bought MVC3
Was it not obvious Capcom would do this BULL?

[badz149]

SF4 set a very good warning for this to happen!

[WildArmed]

This. Exactly what was running through my mind when they released SSF4. Looks like they are going to milk all their fights down the drain.
Quite sad really.

[SilentNegotiator]

Thanks, Capcom! You're so nice to your fans!

SSF4, RE5: Gold, UMvC3.....where does the fan service end?!

[badz149]

"the more (of the same), the merrier!"

[n4gisatroll]

This is why I won't buy a capcom game ever again, unless my girlfriend really wants it, but no more fighters from capcom.

[jetlian]

not so bad that they doing it. It that this 1 coming less than a year later!

[dark-hollow]

and WE are part of the problem!
if we keep on buying this crap then we accept this kind of BS.

but alas......

[badz149]

I've yet to buy a Capcom game this gen! call me missing out or whatever but their games not really appealing to me. If Onimusha collection or a new Onimusha comes out, then that's another story. until then...I'm Capcom-free, still!

[unknownhero1123]

it was too obvious that capcom would pull this. they NEVER reward thier first time buyers. there is no loyalty to the customer at all.

[BubbleSniper]

it was both obvious and not so obvious... I think between this, MML3, handing DmC to foreign hands and the usual 60 versions of one game within 1-2 years shows me Capcom have lost the plot, or just plain lost it.

[morkendo23]

It's getting harder and harder to defend Capcom. DAMN weeaboo's

[KingSlayer]

I wanted MvC3, but knew in my heart of hearts they would pull this shit. Not giving loyal fans the option of upgrading via DLC (like SF4) makes me not want UMvC3. Shame on you Capcom.

"Right now, we’re only thinking about releasing a disc version," said Ryota Niitsuma"

Well, I guess that means they will release it as DLC. We all know what "right now" means.

[CrimsonEngage]

NEVER buying another capcom game again. This was the last straw. Luckily i have Mortal Kombat and the DLC support for it has been fantastic. Capcom can go fuck themselves. Fucking weaboos...

[Urrakia34]

Lol @ weaboos

[LOGICWINS]

MK9 is awesome dude. I bet once the summers over there going to announce a discount bundle pack with ALL the DLC characters released thus far. Heck, today they announced MK1,2,3 for PSN/XBL for only $10!

[Urrakia34]

That's exactly what I was thinking (about the DLC getting a discounted bundle) but I couldn't help myself so I went ahead and bought Kenshi today. My friend bought Rain and then we file shared. 2 for the price of 1 baby! Skarlet is pretty lame so we chose to omit her. Lol

[LOGICWINS]

"My friend bought Rain and then we file shared. 2 for the price of 1 baby!"

Very smart. Totally didn't think of that lol.

[Urrakia34]

Lol Yea we tend to do that alot. Planning on file sharing the Fallout New Vegas DLC since it's $10 apiece. You should try it, saves you and your friend a good deal of money. You can just alternate purchases, for example you buy some DLC you both want then he buys the next DLC you guys want and just alternate from there.

[BLAKHOODe]

@Urrakia34

I haven't bought Rain yet.. I will soon. I didn't care much for Kenshi, but I'm really liking Skarlet.

[Urrakia34]

@blakhoode - Kenshi is alright. His moveset gets a bit getting used to though because alot of his attacks can be chained into nice combos. As for Rain, his move set is just awesome. Just wish they'd stop making him look/act kind of gay. Lol Other than that though, I really recommend Rain because he's a badass. Well worth the $5.

[iMaim]

Agreed until you said weeaboos

[Quagmire]

Its an joke. nvm...

[SactoGamer]

Boo.

[Fierce Musashi]

Nickel and diming b*st*rds. Deliberately released that rushed, unfinished garbage at full retail price only later on release a better ( if you could call it that ) version. Way to s**t on a good series.

Thankfully I didn't buy that first steaming crock, I certain won't be buying your second batch of s**t.

[Prototype]

I miss the 90's Capcom; at least with Street Fighter 2 series it was the Arcades then later the home versions when the demand was high.

Almost makes me wanna boycot them next behind Activision and SE

[Peaceful_Jelly]

this guy is playing Ultimate MvC3 right now http://www.twitch.tv/marque...

I don't know how he got it but it's not fake.

[Giru017]

Wow, holy ****!
Anyways, not getting this game on pure principle. I'm voting with my wallet.

[Knushwood Butt]

it got leaked.

real shame..

[unknownhero1123]

I'm trying feel sorry for capcom but for some reason I'm fresh out of sympathy for them. I wonder why.....

[WetN00dle69]

Funny thing is that people will still buy it. I know of a few peeps that have bought every single version of SF4 available and yes that includes the 3DS version........

[Cereal]

So people would rather have $60 DLC characters over a $40 retail disc or are people wanting everything as $40 DLC rather than a $40 retail disc?

Either way it's stupid to want UMvC3 as DLC instead of a disc.

[MrBeatdown]

Uh, I think they want the DLC for less than the cost of buying the Ultimate disc, seeing as how they already paid once for the majority of what's included.

[Mottsy]

It just seems like they could add the extra content without making you go spend another 40 dollars. either way i feel like its hurting the hardcore fans more. If you bought MVC3 day 1 its cause you are a fan and support your favorite game. They need to get their shizzle together.

[dark-hollow]

i RATHER HAVE THE FULL GAME WITH ALL THE FULL FEATURES I EXPECT FROM A 60$ GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

NOT KEEPING ALL THE GOOD STUFF FOR FURTHER REHASHES!!

[CrimsonEngage]

How so? All we wanted were DLC characters. Instead we have to buy a $40 game just to use 12 characters they could have put up on the market place for only 1600 points.

We want JUST the characters not the extra bullshit such as new health bars and stat changes.

[maniacmayhem]

What happen to UNLOCKING all the character the good old fashion way like in part 2.

In 3 we get a little bit of it then we get to pay for the rest.

Bull to the sh*t!

[TheMutator]

and the worst is coming next...Super Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 : Arcade edition 1 , 2 and 3

[dark-hollow]

you know what? japanese developers really, REALLY dropped the ball this gen.
with franchises milking, releasing horrible games and sequels and NOT listening to their fans!

@LOGIC: but that a minority!
capcom, square really lost their way!

[LOGICWINS]

Not all Japanese devs are the same. Play Yakuza 3 and Yakuza 4. Catherine looks great too.

[Inception]

Wow, so Capcom & SE are represent for all japanese dev? yeah right! -_-

[phntom]

I'm done with Capcom, FOREVER.

[LOGICWINS]

Once that new RE Racoon City game comes out and tanks(which I'm pretty sure it will) Capcom will probably begin to realize that they have to take a new direction.

[wwm0nkey]

lol screw Racoon City, picture how badly DmC is going to bomb, NO ONE wants that game lol

[Giru017]

I love this part: "Given the development schedule, there wasn’t enough time to work out all of the details to release it as downloadable content"

WHAT DEVELOPMENT TIME!!!? YOU RELEASED THE FIRST GAME NOT 6 MONTHS AGO!!! And UMvC3 is already finished, just getting tuned to be shipped on November! They (still) have plenty of time, but sure, they'd rather sell a $40 disc than a $15 DLC.

( http://www.twitch.tv/marque... <-- live stream with recorded video underneath.

[darfreeze]

After this, I'm done with Cahcom too...lol

[akaFullMetal]

They could easily make this dlc, why can't they??? I really would love and answer as to why technology wise it can't be done.

[despair]

Its all about money, of course they could make it DLC but they won't get anywhere near the sales or profit compared to a disk based re-release.

[Michael-Jackson]

I don't think it's that easy because they revamped everything, the character artworks ( I think), Menu, Character Selection Screen, 12 New Characters, the Hud, and character balancing. It's essentially a new game.

I never heard of dlc changing so much stuff and the whole game. So the disc option is understandable but releasing it only 9 months after the game just came out is a scam, so the normal version is just a beta version and now your buying the full game.

[CommonCent]

How much crack do you smoke daily?

[Giru017]

...I could easy change the Menu, Character Selection Screen, Character Balance and HUD and it wouldn't take me more than 2 days at most (Example: SF4 on PC. Modding it is easy as pie).

Yes, adding characters takes work/time, but it's not ****ing rocket science! Specially with the fact that many of these were planned for the final version of MvC3 and "mysteriously" cut for BS reasons (like Frank West or Ghost Rider, whom they said they "just couldn't get to work").

[maniacmayhem]

Dude, at one time i might of believed the whole "too much content" excuse. But now that capcom has pulled it for a second time naw, i dont believe it. I think all this was done on purpose and done only to get double the sale.

EA, Ubi, Sony should take a page from cashcom, this is how you make money, re-release the same game with xtra features no need for an online pass.

[SLLCKGT]

It's getting harder and harder to defend Capcom.

[ndl1531]

pretty cool didn't know this was coming as a fan of mvc i didn't get part 3 cause i felt it didn't have enough characters in it but now i get to have the whole package for 40 bucks . feel sorry for all the people that got half the game for 60 my brother included

[LOGICWINS]

I wouldn't buy the game or any of its editions PERIOD. Buy buying this your supporting Capcom's bull. If you feel that u MUST have it, I suggest buying it used so Capcom sees no revenue from your purchase.

[ndl1531]

yup even better idea i will it buy used cause what they are pulling is pretty shady

[fooxy]

Capcom started sucking major dick when they released RE5 gold Edition with DLC on vouchers o_0

[Inception]

That's why i never buy (fighting) games from Crapcom in the 1st day and wait for the news if they will released some update / not. Cause isnt' it obvious?!

[Otheros00]

SF Alpha

- SF Alpha 2
- SF Alpha 3

These are not multiple versions of one game. SF alpha 2 and 3 are sequels to SF alpha. Also, There is no 1 in the first SF alpha. Alpha 3 was the best street fighter game that I've played. SFIV is TOTAL UTTER CRAP.

[waltyftm]

I have to agree with you there, Alpha 3 was a masterpeice, everything from animations to fighting mechanics was PERFECT.

[ndl1531]

dam i totally agree with you man for me alpha 3 is the best streetfighter ever made . i just recently bought ssf4 and ugh it was trash took it back and got my refund but yea alpha 3 is still king

[Inception]

double post >.<

[zerocrossing]

I guess once Capcom announces Ultimate MVC3 super turbo arcade unlimited masters edition, Then its time to buy. Seriously Capcom Im a big fan like a lot of people but shame on you for screwing so many fans over, Fortunately I wasn't one of them.

[Blasphemy]

When MvC 3 was announced you should have known this was going to happen when it didn't have features that Street Figther 4 had, and it came out two years ago!

It also lacked less characters then the last MvC so they could milk you later with DLC and new versions of the game. LOL only a fool would have bought the first game!

Don't support these shady business practices people!

[rjgbyrne]

Capcom can go to hell, I hope the Nuke plant gets em for this. Am sick and tired of them double dealing and screwing absolutely everyone over like Murdock and the News Corp Scandal. Take me for a Ride... all the way to Netherealm for MK. The fighter crown can surely be given to Mortal Kombat now too. I'll sell my copy of MVC3 for 50 cent, then chuck it in the bin. Poor excuse for a company in my opinion.

[ElementX]

Capcom is worse than EA or Activision. They always release a game and then 6 months later they release an improved version. I bought MVC3 and sold it within days, it just wasn't what I was looking for. But they've done the same thing with SF4 and other franchises. People need to redirect their anger towards Crapcom!

[Magic_Spatula]

Haven't bought a Capcom game this gen except for Monster Hunter Freedom 2. Looks like this is gonna be a second hand purchase for me.

[The_Quiet_Man]

I'm glad to see alot of articles exposing Capcom for their greed lately. They deserve all the backlash they're getting. I hope this keeps up so they eventually learn they can't keep screwing over their fanbase. The more people keep hearing about these exploits the more people will get tired & walk away.

They used to be great once but now its all half empty games for 50-60 euro, overpriced unnecessary dlc, new editions less than year later & plus worst than all this is the new western approach effort, giving away once excellent ip's to outside devs to ruin. If I want a my games made by a western dev, guess what? I'll buy from a western dev or vice versa.

If they keep this up they mightn't find themselves around next gen or even as relevant anymore. I'd just like to see them treating their fans right & I know there a business but theres no balance with them anymore, its just give the gamer as little as possible & charge top dollar, then make em pay again.

Their games (maybe apart from the beat'em'ups) have all been heading down the slippery slope, I've no interest at all in their upcoming line up (DMC, don't get me started). I hope Platinum Games put them in the shade, funny that most of those guys worked for Capcom & made them successful, then ended up running for the door as soon as, & they'll soon be followed by the gamers as Capcom dismantles franchise after franchise & pinch our pockets even deeper (well not mine anymore).

[videoxgamexfanboy]

So in order for me to get the most outta mvc3 i gotta spend possibly 40 more$ on top of the 60 i spent? Fuck u crapcom! I hope ur games get pirated to hell!

[BLAKHOODe]

I actually managed to get MvC3 for $35 when it came out.. played it for about a month, didn't care for it, then took advantage of a trade-in offer GameStop was offering and got $40 for it. WIN!

[TenkoTAiLS]

Where the F is Megaman, seriously! They cancel his two upcoming games, and they leave him out of MvsC3, and now that they release an Ultimate edition, they leave him out again!!

Oh wait.. he will probably be in the first round of DLC for this edition, to try and get some extra money, making it not the Ultimate Edition, and so they can repackage it again for another version later on.

[SnukaTheMan]

I took advantage of the 50% back when you preorder a game at best buy before they lower the price.....about 25 dollars with the offer right now. I also agree with the angry sentiment towards capcom as well..I will only be purchasing a used copy now capcom...this should of been on the disc I paid 65.00$ for.

[beast242tru]

lmfao i cnt count one game in my collection from capcom but i played super street fighter 4 on a friends console and its pretty damn good compared to the original

[Gordo789]

well that's a bummer.
