Just to add, MvC2 and U/MvC3 are being removed from XBL (also PSN), so this sale will be your last chance to buy them and the U/MvC3 DLC.

 

Marvel are retracting their license from Capcom again.

I'm going to just make a guess here but I'm sure they want more money but now that Disney owns marvel and they have their own game studio(s) I wonder if they want to just make their own game without capcom if the price isn't right.

Nah, it happened before in 2003.

 

It has something to do with Marvel licensing X-Men to Fox and Spiderman to Sony, possibly. They want the licenses back but because Fox/Sony can keep them if they keep making a new movie within every 2 years, it's impossible. They must have put hard timed agreements in the MvC game rights so it couldn't happen a 3rd time. Capcom and Marvel have historically a very good working relationship.

It also happened with Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. The DLC just suddenly dissapeared. Fan outcry forced them to offer it again (because they also had removed the compatibility pack, breaking the online MP) for a limited period, after that it was gone for good.

I hope they have some Xbox One specials.

I think it might be a bit early for specials on the XB1, but in saying that I'd love for Powerstar Golf to get a christmas deal. AU$25 seems like a bit much for a game that probably would've been classified as XBLA on the 360.

      I am British, but still not offended, I really don't care. It is a shame that countries are run by the people that run them, that can't get on with other countries. Religion and greed is a lot of the problem. What we could do if we got together instead of fighting each other. But that is not the way it is, so because of that, we really need to show the world what the U.K can do. We have some very clever people in this country, sadly the government don't seem to do anything with them.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm
