![]() ![]() The game is divided into two parts: single-player and multiplayer battles. Unlike previous versions of the game that required you to earn points and spend them at the in-game store to unlock additional characters, arenas, and costumes, everything is available here straight out of the blocks. It also includes broader Marvel and Capcom universes, as well as a handful of original personalities. The game's expansive 56-player roster includes characters from the X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Mega Man series. Sounds like there's most likely some bugs that need to be fixed first, and nobody around to fix them and quite possibly no easy way to even get started on fixing them if that was even possible.Like its cousins in the Street Fighter series of games, MVC2 takes the tried-and-true formula of pitting players against each other in head-to-head combat on a 2D plane and then flips the concept sideways by offering a team of three selectable characters in place of a single bruiser. ![]() So: all terrible news, but - I think this is more than most of us knew before. So most likely they'd have to start from scratch and go go from there, and unless they got a place with as heavy of fighting game enthusiasts as Backbone was I wouldn't bet on the net code being something something other than the input-delayed hash that just about every other fighting game not powered by either GGPO or Backbone's stuff uses. You might be able to track one or two of them down at Microsoft (Isaac) or Bungie (David) in your back yard, but other than that I don't know what to tell you. The biggest collection of them that I know about is at Other Ocean, which isn't affiliated. Backbone itself has been gone for about four years, and had stopped using the engine that MvC2 got ported altogether onto about three years prior to closing, but if the source code exists it's probably in an archive somewhere in Foundation 9's vaults, but everyone who knows anything about how it worked works elsewhere now. The main guy who wrote the net code that got the peoples panties in a wad works as a designer now, so I suspect he's out. I was lead engineer, and I've heard nothing. If they're trying to use Backbone's port, I doubt strongly it could ever happen. I could tell you horror stories about that code base that would probably scare Preppy. And, having worked on that one, I can tell you that getting it "perfect" is going to be a piece of work. ![]() * The Backbone devs have apparently not been contactedīackbone's gone, though, so there's nobody left who knows how the inner guts of that port work any more. * Supposedly there are a couple bugs preventing the game from being made available via PSN/XBLA back compat ![]()
