Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinitewas one of themany pleasant surprisesunveiled over the weekend at a very eventful PlayStation Experience. The leaks tipped us off beforehand, I’ll grant you that, but still!A newMarvel! I’m amazed it’s happening, and I’m already anticipating futureEVOmatches.
Now, not to get your hopes up with what-if scenarios, but there’s a curious note in a press release for the game:Infiniteis only the start of the company’s larger plan to cultivate its properties.
“In addition to regular major title releases each fiscal year, Capcom is currently focused on reviving series that have not had new entries recently, or otherwise dormant IP,” reads the release. “Beginning withMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, a return for the series following a five-year hiatus, Capcom looks to enhance its corporate value even further by utilizing its library of rich contents.”
I could see part of this plan coming about with ports, like the re-release ofUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3on PS4 over the weekend. That could be a smart way to warm up new players to a series before its proper revival. (As an aside, please port overAsura’s Wrath.) But as far as new entries go? Goodness. I don’t even know where to start. A newOnimusha, perhaps? MoreDragon’s Dogmain the West?
Let’s hear your ideas. Which IP is long overdue a new game, and why?
