If talk of the Abyss Uncharted Gold means inevitably mention the many features of the new Sony handheld console, a review of Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 can not turn it on controls and, ultimately, the quality of the hardware that houses it .
As you may have preferences for a "school" rather than fighting each other, is difficult to think that until now, despite some evidence objectively good as Super Street Fighter IV on the Nintendo 3DS, anyone could have looked at the Capcom fighting games (or SNK ArcSystem and those for the same reasons) as the genre best suited to a portable implementation. The need to perform fast and precise rotational movements never got particularly agree with the digital pad on laptops, and even the insertion of sticks on the PSP has resolved the situation. It is no coincidence that, at least on portable platforms, the only rights of its kind to have received a minimum of success were the (generally excellent, except for recent cases) Namco Bandai conversions of titles, from the still excellent today Tekken 6 PSP SoulCalibur Broken Destiny. The controls of Namco fighting game, based in large part on the input of pressing buttons and directional single or double, and more rarely on rotations, I have always gotten along with the laptop hardware to a greater extent than Shoryuken and Hadoken, and the problem has become increasingly heavy as the genre has evolved in the directions of the technical or (in this case) of the frenzy. Understandable then that the announcement for the launch of The Life of an unpredictable amount of fighting has left many fans puzzled, and as more than one might have seen Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 a bit 'as a litmus test of the relationship between life and gender.
Despite having started from a position of understandable mistrust (writer finds it difficult to manage the security in question with the PS3 pad), the feedback is very positive, so that we can say without much fear of contradiction that the pad is not the console only the best digital pad of a portable console, but also one of the best ever among controllers dedicated to the genre. Slightly concave, flat, clean movements, with reduced travel and precise switch, the digital pad of life plays a huge role in the success of the title. In our "stress tests" we focused on the mission mode, consisting of PS3 as a 10-character combos of varying complexity from "dugong narcoleptic" to "Umehara Day", failing to regularly get the same results (seventh-eighth combo , by the way) obtained with a good fighting stick on the home version. In some cases, indeed, the feeling was of greater ease, given the reduced excursion of the pad over a stick (another important element in the relationship between life and gender) to the reduced distance of the button, small and manageable, even with the thumb in case of multiple pressures. The only regret is the inability to map some function, perhaps even the simple tag of the characters on the touch screen, which would free the backbone for a few precious keystrokes. The only way you can use the screen controls for Life is to connect a PS3 to use it as a controller, or select a crushing mode "iPhone veterans" of which we have given up groped to understand the sense enough to say that a tap-tap-tap on the screen repeatedly brought us in front of Galactus (Normal, mind you) without ever being preoccupied by their opponents and never have the feeling of being in command us. "Yay, buttons," as he said that.
Unfortunately, this brilliant thought is the only tribute to a life of conversion, compared with a nearly flawless success (the only thing sacrificed is the wealth of animated scenarios and some graphic effect over the most spectacular shots), has the failure to set new standards for Capcom's laziness, excusable only because of the nature of the launch title. While it is impressive to see then tried the same game on PS3 run on a portable console (with the great added value of being able to compete online against owners of the home version, a true blessing in terms of availability of challengers), the other is a little 'disheartening that the conversion does not offer practically nothing more than the PS3 version. The ability to enable free and Heralds Heroes mode, a sort of rehearsal of Gem System of Street Fighter X Tekken with the added bonus of looking for collectible card helps, but does not solve the problem, and the ability to use the DLC already purchased PS3 (only alternate costumes) we doubt will be welcomed with something more than a sarcastic grin, the more so because there was not even the "effort" to incorporate the roster Shuma-Gorath's version of Life and Jill Valentine. In summary, therefore, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 is a great game, and a bad product, all their qualities (arguably relevant) ultimately depend on the capabilities of the hardware controls or console, while its defects (essentially, the laziness of end of conversion) concern the game itself. The buyer the choice to favor the appearance, but it remains beyond doubt that the game itself is impressive to watch and fun to play.
