Apparently it says that there'll be no X-Men/Fantastic Four characters? That's stupid, how can you have a MvC game without Wolverine?

Marvel continuing to strike at Fox for owning X-Men and Fantastic Four that's why.

But they dont own X-Men or Fanstatic four, they own the rights tô make movies using those characters, but in other medias it still tô marvel tô license them

Marvel is purposely trying to sabotage and reduce the existence of X-Men and FF so that less people will be attached to them, thus trying to make less people interested in Fox's movies, all in hopes that Fox will want to sell the rights and for Marvel to be able to buy them back. It's all part of Marvel's plan.

If this is showing up at the PS Experience this year. You can be sure that the game will either be timed, or console exclusive. The problem with the sales of SFV is that the game was unfinished, not because of console exclusivity. Hopefully Capcom learned their lesson in the past with rushing out games and releasing "Ultimate" versions of said games in the same year.

If true, i just don't want them to rush the game out with just barebone modes and roster. It didn't work for SFV and won't work for marvel.

If this launches, and launches properly then it's pretty much going to be the proverbial bullet in the back of the head of SFV, which honestly, is not a bad thing.

I predict Spider-man (and other Spider-man characters ie. Venom, Carnage) to be an exclusive PS4 characters :P

Well, after they killed MvC 3 by trying to milk their fans dry (and failed miserably, thank god), I don't think the public wants or needs another MvC. Move on, Capcom.

The demand for another MvC game is definitely there. People want to another Marvel crossover game with Capcom. I do agree about how Capcom painted themselves in a bad light with the debacle of releasing an Ultimate version of a game they released earlier that year. Not to mention their on disc DLC fiasco with Street Fighter vs Tekken. It was bad for Capcom. The lost the trust of the people.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 was a garbage game, IMO. However, what killed it was the glitches, and marvel puling the plug on every game with their characters at the time. Marvel Vs. Capcom 1 & 2 are my favorite games. They are so different from each other that it really depends on the day, as to which I like most. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, which was also very different, just wasn't a good game for me. MvC4 is welcomed, and I hope they do it right this time.

Oh believe me, at least the FGC scene, MvC4 is the most hyped fighting game since MKX or Killer Instinct (XBO).
Well, that doesnt sound like much, but MAHVEL!?

Speak for yourself! As much as MvC3 had problems, I still want to see Capcom make fighting games and be as successful as possible doing so.

Capcom seems to be really limiting their audience this gen.

Seems like it, though in the end it will only cripple them more and force them into making bad decisions more often, reaching to a point where they have to be bought out by someone because they made far too many ill judgements.

I want Darkstalkers instead. =P Damn Capcom on not wanting to continue with this series cause it's weak remaster Darkstalkers: Ressurection- didn't sell well. Here's to hoping at least 3 or 4 Darkstalkers characters make the cut for this. =/

Don't see a fighting game being limited to just PS4, Capcom would be far too stupid to make such a massive error.

What if... Sony gave up on Spiderman, so that MvC 4 could be possible?
I know Disney is not Capcom, and that Sony Pictures is not PlayStation. But there seems to be some kind of deal going on here.
