Netherrealm Studios (WB Games) Could Possibly Be Working On a Marvel Fighting Game
- Thread starter GooberDooberCBC
- Start date
- Rumor
Capcom shat the bed on that one for a while.
I imagine that may happen in the future.
Awesome thanks for linking that! I mean I do like Injustice so Marvel vs DC would be pretty awesome. I doubt they'll do Marvel vs MK since Disney wouldn't allow their characters to be that violent.
I'd love this personally, story mode could could be really cool, there would be a ton of stuff to do solo, they could do a lot of cool stuff with costumes and unlockables. After MVC infinite Neatherrealms is pretty much the only FG developer that I could get excited about making a Marvel fighter.
This is a Do Not Want if there ever was one. I'd be surprised if Marvel would put their IP into the hands of WB (other than the LEGO games), but moreover NRS's style finally got to me with Injustice 2 and I don't think I can play their stuff with any kind of seriousness, anymore.
Gameplay meh. Animations meh. Roster meh. But it will be the best selling Marvel fighting game of all time so RIP MvC series.
They also own Traveler's Tales, and have been working with Disney for more than a decade (Lego Star Wars, Lego Marvel, Lego Pirates of the Caribean, etc..).
I buy these entirely for the story mode, so as long as they knock that out of the park again, I'm good. I was really looking forward to whatever story they'd do with Injustice 3, but trying other franchises is exciting, too. Gives them more time before going back to MK proper, too.
Also, MvC is slick, but neigh unapproachable for casual fans. The ceiling is just too high and, out of every fighting game I've got (most of them), the neatherrealm games always got the most play with random non-fighting game friends b/c, even if button mashing feels stiff, you can still do enough cool stuff for it to look cool.

If this is real (which feels very unlikely) then was someone asleep at the wheel at either Disney or Warner? I have a hard time imagining this getting greenlit let alone there even being conversations. This also just seems bad all around as I could see this hurting the popularity of the Injustice titles going forward and this would likely spell the end for MVC.
Marvel fighting game! :D
Not made by Capcom and using the MK/Injustice fighting engine/style. D:
I'm not saying that Mortal Kombat and Injustice are bad games. In fact, their storytelling and art quality put most fighting games to shame. I'm just more of a Street Fighter and MvC guy than an MK and Injustice guy. It's a real shame, because I've been really impressed with Netherrealm has put out over the past few years. I just don't like how those games play.

I uh, really hope it's not NRS. Or if it is at least not at the cost of another MVC (which I can't imagine wouldn't be the case if it happens.) Going from Capcom fighters to NRS would feel horrible to me since I don't like how NRS games play at all.
So I see several complaints about Nettherealm Studios' animation. As I am a casual fan at best I don't really know what the issue is. Does anyone have any recommendations for videos that analyze it?
Not a fan of the idea, if it was Marvel vs. DC it would soften the blow but a Marvel fighter going from Capcom to NRS animations is jarring.
Not a fan of NRS games personally but they are the choice to go for if you want a fighting game that:
-Sells a ton
-Has well (the best?) received story and single player content
-Sells a ton
Would be cool if it were characters like punisher, blade, ghost rider, venom, moon knight...but i don't care to see the avengers, fanatic 4, etc. in their type of games.
Why would it be jarring, lol.
Not like the last MvC game left a great impression for Disney with Capcom.
A NRS fighting game? The hardest pass. But it'd sell incredibly well and I hate that it would.
This doesn't seem legit anyway so we are safe.

I truly wonder how bad the MVC:Infinite experience was for the working relationship of Marvel and Capcom. I really did hope that they would have a turnaround for a new MVC but it may not be the case.
Silver lining is that this gives Capcom an opportunity to make a versus game with another IP, or Capcom Allstars, and not be held back by Marvel/Disney.
And after Capcom dropped the Infinite ball hard it wouldn't be surprising for Marvel to look for another partner either
So a studio owned by Marvel's comic competitor (Warner/DC) that should be working on a fighting game based on their universe (Injustice) is going to get the greenlight to work on a game based on the competitor's comic universe...yeah I don't buy this one at all. We should be seeing injustice 3 very soon, and I believe the franchise has done well to warrant it, and it is a good way to cross-promote their comic sales.
