Play Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 a week early

By Robert Purchese Published 28 October, 2011

You'll need to get past London pub's Dormammu.

The Villain Bar in the trendy Shoreditch area of London will have "at least six screens" of playable Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 a week before the game's launch.

Head there on 9th November to play the new fighting game, drink alcohol and admire the aircraft fuselage setting.

The UMVC3 deal is part of a new Ultimate Villain gaming night promotion at the bar. On 30th November there'll be a PES 2012 tournament. Expect prizes and, again, alcohol.

Magneto, gang.

    Will there be another event a few weeks later where you can play as an extra 10 characters that were supposed to be available at the first event?

    Given that Dormammu is just a possessed teenager with an artifact, the way in is to make him expend all his energy and then fall exhausted to the ground. Step over and enter.

    Will there be a Eurogamer comments section for this game where the commenters aren't butthurt about capitalism?

    No

    Its a shame this is in London. Can someone use Firebrand and Ghost Rider for me and tell me how they are?

    I wanted to use Firebrand :(

    His open world comments were ridiculous. If it were open world it wouldn’t be Uncharted.

    As impressive as GTA 4’s open world was, the game ultimately became boring because of it. There’s always a main task, with side quests (pool, buy cloths, steal car, go to bar, make telephone call etc) should the player wish to do something else other than the main objective. At least the taxi allowed for long laborious car journeys to be avoided. The focused game play of Uncharted and Uncharted 2 kept me going until the end. GTA 4, after months of on off game play I knocked it on the head at about 60% due to total boredom exhaustion.

    I picked up Red Dead Revolver for £10 some weeks ago. I held off buying it at launch as in my heart of hearts, I just knew it would be GTA on horse back. And boy was right. The open world looks great, the horses look great, the graphics are not as polished as say Heavy Rain or Uncharted 2, because of ‘open world’ limitations. After about 2 hours game play I have not returned to Red Dead Revolver. I might do some day, but I wouldn’t count on it. The open world Rockstar formula that Simon loves so much isn’t for everyone. I personally find Rockstars game model not so interesting.

    EG: when ever I open a review now, if there are a ton of comments, my PC seizes up. Maybe my P4 isn't powerful enough ;P

    @kinky_mong Yes, but only if you pay another £20 to get in.
