Yes, that's it.

But no one knows if it'll be the old MvsC 2 or a HD Remix version like they made for Street Fighter 2.

[SonOfHeaven]

I hope its the old MvC2. It took capcom a long time to release SF2 HD and I don't think fans would want to wait for an HD version.

In what will inevitably go down as the worst kept industry secret in recent years, I’m very happy to finally be able to confirm that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this summer.

The deal took a good while but it’s probably our most requested title to bring back, so Marvel and I and a few other people here at Capcom rolled up our sleeves and got it done. I can’t stress enough, if you ask for something loudly enough and long enough, we’ll work very hard to make it happen.

So while you may have been able to surmise that something was going on with MvC2, we do still have a few surprises up our sleeves. Let me tell you a little more about how and why this version of MvC2 will be the definitive version.

1. It’s based on the Dreamcast code base – While the PS2 and Xbox versions of MvC2 were great, there are a few niggling issues in them that have caused the competitive community to continue using the Dreamcast version of the game. We wanted to bring you the very best version of the game, so we listened to the community and started with the Dreamcast.

2. There is online – With the game being developed by Backbone, we are using largely the same, critically acclaimed net code that we used in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix and with that will come our player match quarter mode/lobby system that has proven so popular. Naturally leaderboards and some form of stats tracking (details to be provided at a later date) will also be in the mix. So on the net code side, you’re pretty much assured the best fighting game net code ever created for consoles.

3. HD upscaling options – Given that most people play Xbox 360s and PS3s on HD TVs, it’s important to help make the game look better. We’ve refined our real-time sprite filtering to use even more advanced techniques and we’re providing two upscaling options for the sprites… one we’ve termed “Crisp” the other we’ve termed “Smooth”. It’s a matter of personal preference for which one you’ll enjoy more. For purists, if you’d like you can use the “Classic” setting, which leaves the sprites completely unfiltered. Because the filtering is applied in real-time, you can change these settings on the fly, mid-match if you choose. Our producer will be showing you some comparison screenshots in the coming days to better clarify the differences. The backgrounds in MvC2 are all 3D, and when rendered at higher resolutions look fantastic. The original textures and assets from the Dreamcast were actually much higher quality than the Dreamcast could really display at the time and when shown in HD, the impact is really quite amazing.

4. Widescreen – Again, with most people playing on HD displays, we wanted to figure out how to implement widescreen support. To do so, the camera field of view was widened (which we’re able to do because of the 3D backgrounds effectively running off the “edges” of the 4:3 scenario) and there are a few camera tricks that minimize any impact on the gameplay. Play area is unchanged, and this is not a zoom and crop like HD Remix was. To put it simply, the gameplay area will be in a 4:3 field, while the viewing area will be widescreen. At the same time, for purists and competitive play, a 4:3 option (with vertical bars on the left and right) still exists.

5. No unlocking – While we love giving people unlockables in games, for this outing, there’s not a lot of surprises in terms of what characters are in the game. All 56 characters will be unlocked at the start for immediate play, again great for tournament play where players won’t need to mess with save game data or hacked versions (/shame).

6. Music Options – We love MvC2 but the original “jazzy” music has long been criticized even by ardent fans. Independent music volume controls and support of custom soundtracks on PS3 and 360 we deemed an important feature. Purists will still have what they love and fans of customization are also served.

And as an added bonus, some of you will get to play it sooner than you think. The US PlayStation network will have the demo available for download this week (Europe’s PSN should follow not far after). Surprise.

[SonOfHeaven]

That is big news. I can't wait to play MvC2 on my PS3. I used to play the Dreamcast and PS2 versions. However, this time I have my custom arcade stick. I'm ready to go this time.

[Nosauz]

will also be on 360, but demo for ps3 will be out next week mebbe capcom will accept my first child in exchange for mvc3? I would gladly do that.

[ZeroForever]

one part of me thinks this is awesome another part of me is like.... do you really need a demo for a 10 year old game...

online should be fun, unless it's filled with cable spamming trolls among other things... though realistically online competitions gonna be the main reason people buy it, cause if your hyped about it chances are you already have a existing version of it.

[Blackbeard D. Kuma]

I wonder how many disconnectors there will be online in this game? Hopefully it won't be as bad as SF4.

^Don't remind me of that. Sore losers can't take an lost. They want to keep their online points that don't really mean anything lol.

[Kid Ying]

I'm a sore loser. Not that i quit the matches that i'm losing, but i hate to lose.

But i'm gonna get this game and my ass kicked by everyone, since i'm pretty bad at MvC.

Now i want Guilty Gear at the PSN. In this one i rocks, hehe.

I still have my MvC2 on disc and my ps3 is backward compatible so I'm straight.

i got MvC2 for the ps2 too, the back is darkblue color, not white . but you going to be missing the online play.

[DidCart]

The game demo is in the PSN for download, but only with offline multiplayer.

[Kid Ying]

REALLY, only with local multiplayer. There's nothing more on the demo.

[DidCart]

And without CPU-controlled opponents!

[Kid Ying]

So, i did get to play the demo today and it looks nice... IF you go on the options and put smooth in characters and 16:9(well, that depends on your tv). It doesn't look as ugly as i was expecting, also, the scenarios are still the same, but on hd, so they are very nice.

Son, pass me your psn id so we can play together(well, after the game release, of course, since now it's impossible ). Or you can take mine, it's kid_ying.
