Well I'm gonna try to wrap up the long overdue E3 coverage. Sorry for the delay but I got sick, and then the police academy started kicking my ass.

TvC:

Wow, I love it. Videos:

As you can see, it plays better than most Wii games. I am shocked at how perfect the graphics and framerate hold up. A really awesome fighter, and its great to see some old Capcom characters from "sleeping" franchises appear. If you don't own a Wii, this might be the perfect reason to get one! Also, you'll want to invest in some Wii fight sticks. Just a suggestion.

LP2:

Get it. The updated Framwork engine is lifelike. Smooth as silk. I am looking forward to this one. Go to IGN and check out some of the videos they have there.

Lastly, a few pics from E3:

Seth schooling Unity members in MvC2. Seth had a great plan. He played the "Oh, I'm not that great, don't play much, plz dont hert lil ol me" card to lure poor saps like me into a battle. I don't think I ever got more than two punches in. Nor did anyone else.

Other angle

This one I just had to put up. Seth and Kramer marching to the soon-to-be cancelled 1UP podcast. I mean marching in a literal sense. Notice they are in perfect cadence and step with one another. Too much time at the office.

So yea, that wraps up (late) E3 coverage on my part. Thanks Capcom for allowing me the chance to check it out! Enjoyed it!

WOW. It was quite an experience to say the least. It was really great to chill with Capcom, and meet so many of the brilliant minds that work on so many of the games we enjoy. I'll give a rundown of the Capcom games I played, and the people I met. First up:

Kramer: Really awesome dude, great man to chill with. Never had much interaction with him on Unity so it was good to talk with him for a bit. Thanks for my awesome TvC shirt!!!

Shawn: It was great to put a face with the name, and to find someone even more enthused about Lost Planet 2 than myself.

Seth: Seriously who doesn't know Seth? Had a great time just chilling and getting my ass kicked in MvC 2 by this gentleman. Really informative and heartwarming, all of us Unity members had a blast chilling with Seth. Also, he may want to consider wearing some darker shades next time to guard against the onslaught of camera flashes. 

Sven: Rest assured, this man means business. I managed to get in a quick 5 min convo before he got whisked off to one of a million interviews, but he is clearly is a very brilliant man. There is no doubt his approach to digital and his overall business strategies are directly responsible for a lot of Capcom's recent success.

Now, onto the game reviews:

MvC 2: Rey and his team have a done a great job with Capcom's digital headliner. They could have said "to hell with it" and just straight ported it to the 360/PS3, but they didn't. Capcom went back to the original assets and spiffed it up for the HD release. The backgrounds look AMAZING! Well beyond anything the original disc titles (or hacked download versions) can display. The framerate of the background animations is also WAY above the original as well. Huge difference.

But for me, the best thing about this game is the sprite filter. Rey's group has trully developed the ultimate way to modernize any retro game, and I can't wait to see how it might be used in future projects. They look really sharp. Here, some pics and videos so you can judge yourself:

Also note MvC2 works perfectly with the SF4 arcade sticks, AND has custom controls. Looking forward to this one!
