Whereas Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was a stable preventing recreation, it was sadly overshadow by its flaws, amongst them being its lower than good-looking graphics. It’s been almost seven years since its launch, and it’s been determined the sport wants a recent coat of paint courtesy of a powerful wanting mod.

This mod comes courtesy of 1 WistfulHopes, and was commissioned by streamer and preventing recreation content material creator Maximillian Christensen, higher referred to as Maximilian Dood. Based on Christensen, the mod continues to be “within the early levels, with solely a pair days of tinkering,” nevertheless it’s frankly already a serious glow-up for the sport. You possibly can see some screenshots of the mod on WistfulHopes’ Twitter account, in addition to a short gameplay clip demonstrating how the mod seems in movement.

The objective appears to be to carry Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite extra in-line with the cel-shaded, comedian guide impressed visuals of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which I personally assume at all times was the higher wanting recreation. Infinite‘s efforts to carry its forged of Marvel and Capcom icons right into a extra life like artwork type resulted in some unflattering character fashions (bear in mind how Chun-Li initially seemed earlier than the day one patch?). The visuals usually had been fairly dismal wanting, and easily didn’t pop with any vibrancy or power. I take pleasure in watching MvC3 matches if just for the high-octane visuals; one thing Infinite sadly lacked.

Capcom has lengthy since deserted Infinite (and the Marvel vs. Capcom sequence usually has gone dormant), however this mod may reignite curiosity within the recreation. In any case, the precise gameplay is the perfect factor about it, however those that couldn’t put up with the way it seemed might discover themselves coming again to it as soon as the mod comes out. MvC3 has an ongoing and wholesome modding scene too, with new characters nonetheless being added to it. Perhaps in the future, a brand new Marvel vs. Capcom will likely be greenlit however, within the meantime, followers are delivering the following neatest thing with all these mods.
