Current Events > Fans undergo massive mod project to overhaul MVC: Infinite

(+) Yeah! (+)

The first thing they're doing is giving it a presentable art style similar to comic books with a subtle pinstripe effect. Once they got the art style going they'll start making alterations to the entire cast and the stages.

Ryu's face was also re-modeled to be less ugly, lol.

Jesus, it's the fans that are ultimately carrying the MvC scene with their mods (they're literally making new characters in MvC3). I want a reason to go back to MvCi and this might be the best reason.

That looks awesome. I had no interest in this game but I'd be interested in trying this out as a testament to what fan passion can bring.

It's so crazy looking back and seeing this game had no X-Men and that Disney were thinking of killing off their whole lgbt-allegory IP in case they couldn't make movie money with it.

Also good to note that they will have support for fan-made characters, so the game can finally have the X-Men back in it. Can't wait to see what they do!

They can probably straight rip models & animations from MvC3. The hard part will be hit boxing.

The actual gameplay was so lame and scaled back from MVC3, ignoring the glaring roster issue

it just doesn't seem worth it

It's Unreal Engine 4, so if you have knowledge about that engine it should be easier to mod for than something like UMvC3, since that used MT Framework or something like that.

So, how long until either Capcom, Disney, or both send a cease & desist letter?

Thats a Nintendo thing. Marvel Mod scene have been thriving for years. They will be fine.

If they didn't send one for the MvC3 mods, I doubt they'll do it for this game. Hell, I can actually see this increasing sales for MvCi. Now if it was Nintendo on the other hand...

Probably not. UMvC3 modding is insane and huge and they haven't sent a C&D on that yet. There could always be a chance it'll happen though, I suppose.

Imagine a world where the next generation of Mugen is sitting on top of the mvci engine. It feels like this is the first step towards a modern community driven fighter with an ever-expanding roster.

The main reason I asked was because of Capcom's stance on mods after that Street Fighter 6 tournament with the Chun-Li mod. IIRC, they responded by putting additional DRM in their games that didn't have it before, not just SF6, so it seems to me like they're not as cool with mods as they once were.

They're less likely to care for a dead game with no tournament scene. The reason they freaked out with the Chun-li mod was because it was on a machine being used at an official tournament because the owner forgot to disable it. It's more about protecting their advertisers for their current titles aand tournaments and less about overall modding.

Yes!

Cool. I loved playing Jedha/Gamora, so if this helps increase interest in MvCI, I'm all for it.

Marvel modding community has been kicking some serious ass lately.

Ive never had an issue with Infinites art; it was more the roster and gameplay. Morrigan slightly, but only because she looks really good in UMvC3 so it sets a high bar. Im more upset that they took away what made her unique: being able to fly/unfly cancel her specials.

But I do love when people add characters to games, like putting Kokonoe in BBTAG, or the hilariously overtuned superboss characters in BBCF

Umvc3 is amazing right now and will continue to become better.

Infinite has the most potential for a glow up and I'm patiently waiting for it.

I'm stil partial to MVC & MVC2, 2 for me was the peak of the series and included a great roster.

Itd be cool if Capcom worked out the rights to do a VS collection some time, with X-Men CotA all the way to MvC 2. I can dream

I think the closest thing you're going to get is that one company that makes mini arcade cabinets sells a combo unit that I think includes pretty much all the classic vs games.

Apparently not much because it's difficult to create menus in game.

I did find this.

Yeah that's part of the base training mode.

I might be wrong. I misunderstood. You can record yourself but the most you can do with the cpu is the base stuff like jump, block low etc.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

IIRC you can record actions. Im positive you can reset to default, if you mean like you just push a button and the characters go back to the round start position

What do you mean base game? Because now that I think about it, I recall seeing combos on YouTube done where theyre recorded, so it should have that too

Depends on whether they can legally still include the X-Men games in the collection as long as they label the whole collection as just "Marvel vs. Capcom Collection" or something, since Sony Interactive Entertainment now has the exclusive rights to make X-Men games (though the characters can still appear in general Marvel games, such as the upcoming Overwatch clone, Marvel Rivals; Spider-Man is also in this situation, as he was able to appear in Nintendo's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 even after SIE snagged the solo Spider-Man game rights). For sure, they wouldn't be able to re-release the X-Men games separately from the other MvC games, but I'm not certain they'd be able to do so with the others unless SIE gave the okay.

This mod is looking really fucking good so far.

So, why mod Infinite at all? My understanding is Ultimate is the go to and already has much of the same cast. Was the gameplay a huge improvement or something? I'd imagine balance changes can already be modded in Ultimate.

I imagine it's a bit of different gameplay because of the Infinity Stone system. Infinite also seems like it's easier to mod for.

Capcom needs to do another 3v3 tag fighter. If not with Marvel, then make it completely in house with their own characters. I think they have enough.

Honestly, I couldn't give two shits about capcom characters. Just give me a straight Marvel fighting game please.

The gameplay in Ultimate had a lot of changes. Free tag, 2v2 instead of 3v3, no X-factor, the infinity stones helping shore up weaknesses/enhance strengths, and I feel like they really reduced chip damage IIRC.

Whether it's better or not is up for debate, but it's a very different game to actually play.

Probably moreso the latter. Way more people are familiar with getting things to work in Unreal Engine 4 (the engine behind MvCI), since it's so frequently licensed out for use by developers of all ranges from indie to AAA than they are with trying to work with a completely closed-off, internal engine like Capcom's MT Framework (the engine behind UMvC3).
