The demo offers two instructions at the outset: that rapidly pressing the square button will automatically perform a combo, and to read the help menu (a mighty diagram) for anything else. There are no versus fights against equally matched foes and no practice mode in the demo, making it difficult to get a feel for how the game really plays. #MVCI #marvelvscapcominfinite /EjVt7c0wBt- subpar michael June 13, 2017 It’s not a good way to sell people on the game.Ĭhun's walk animation is.something to behold. The awkward voice work slams home the impression that some of these characters are weird alien duplicates of the heroes you know and love. But the graphical issues are cringe-worthy in the story scenes. You don’t notice these days once the fighting starts, except maybe for Chun-Li’s awkward shuffle, something so egregious I imagine it will be fixed in the final release.

Dante’s usual cool-guy smirk looks sleepy, and perhaps undead. Some of these models don’t look like they were ever meant to be seen up close: Chun-Li in particular looks like a bootleg figure freshly caught out of a corner-store crane game. The demo also unfortunately shows off character models that somehow look worse than the previous game on last generation’s platforms.

Unfortunately, like the story mode that eventually came and went for SFV, it is quite a dull stretch. This feels like a response to Street Fighter 5 launching without a story mode: “Don’t worry guys, we didn’t forget it this time!” This is a “story demo,” so the story mode is all you get. Capcom Infinite may not be a bad game, but this certainly a bad demo. The demo feels like a squandered opportunity on Capcom’s part it’s so constrained and limiting that it actively hides the good points of the game and highlights its failings. Capcom Infinite, and it was available that day! Among the Sony E3 reveals was the surprise announcement of a demo for Marvel Vs.
