I'd buy a mainline MonHun on PS4. I wouldn't buy the Frontier-like game it's almost certainly going to be if there is one at all.

I would like that as well.
>tfw improved graphics and 60 FPS
hnng

Frontier is on PS4 since last year.

Monster Hunter Frontier already is on PS4

Honestly no.
They'd have to design the game around the core audience of the PS4 which would require them removing aspects of the game that make Monster Hunter, well, Monster Hunter.
I mean needless to say the game isn't very casual friendly.

I have a PS4 but I would rather not have to pay to play online.

Which is another thing. No local play on PS4.

...

>tfw no mh5 on PS4

not as long nintendo holds the exclusive rights to the ip currently.
capcom sold them the rights to have monster hunter on the platform of their choosing.
you bet your ass until that contract runs out in maybe another 10 years nothing monsterhunter will touch anything non nintendo.

...

I would, but I'm not delusional enough to think it could actually happen. MH goes where the money is, and Japan loves the Switch

You know that there's no contract or anything right?

threre is.
it was made shortly after monsterhunter online was released and made a fuckton of money in china. also capcom was dis-satisfied with how badly the android and ios port for mhfu did.
so they talked to nitnendo. wii u monster hunters were a dissapointment. however, handheld monsterhunter games dominated the charts every time they came out in the east and west. but mostly in the east.
so they stuck with nintendo. the deal was made during mh 3g

>not as long nintendo holds the exclusive rights to the ip currently.

Nintendildos actually believe this.

Imma go with [citation FUCKING needed]

>dominated the charts every time they came out in the east and west. but mostly in the east.
You do know the 3DS MonHun games have sold less than the PSP ones, right?

MHO was first revealed in 2013, the year MH4 came out. Alpha didn't come out until few years later.

Monster Hunter is casual as fuck.

You're a fucking moron dude.

Because mobile decimated the handheld industry. Monhan would've fallen even further if it stayed with Sony.

Only Sonygros believe a deal was made.
The best part is that the length of time keeps on getting longer.
First it was going to expire after 4U now it's just jumped to 10 years.

>Monster Hunter Freedom
>1.34 million sales
>Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
>3.4 million sales

is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing

Frontier is the black sheep of the MH family. Nobody likes that crap

joke boss?

Irrelevant.

Whoops, I read that number wrong on 4 Ultimate. 3.94. Almost 4 million.

Would I? I'd like it, but I have a 3DS so as long as it's still coming to that then I'm not in any rush.
Will it? Of course not.

>Nintenigger delusion

Well that's only half true.
Monster Hunter has seen more success on Nintendo platforms as a whole and with more consistency while only one game on another platform did better

Voted no. To be honest, Monster Hunter is Kusoge, so I don't care where it goes beyond the loo.

It triggered a lot of people last thread, so it's a good thing. Way too many people take Sup Forums too seriously.

>Monster Hunter portable 3rd
>4.9 million sales

Pretty sure both 4 games crossed 4mil a while back.

Eat shit.

i dunno to me its like letting you see hitboxes in a fighting game's training mode, it seems pretty innocent

if anything what monster hunter needs is a tutorial that actually shows you how monster hitzones work

Btfo

I would simply because I enjoyed it on the 3DS and it would be nice to play it without my hands cramping for once.

Nope, this one is

...

you're confusing low skill floor with low skill ceiling

The same audience that eats up the Soul series and games of its ilk? That audience? Ya I'm sure they'd fucking hate MH with its casual friendly nature.

Last thread people didn't read the filename. I just let it be because it's funny.

I like MH gameplay and I would buy it on a platform that I own, but after buying a Wii for Tri and immensely regretting it I would not buy a platform specifically to play MH.

So yeah, I would buy it if it's on PS4 but no big deal if it's not.

MH is harder than Souls

there's nothing wrong with a low skill floor if the game has a high skill ceiling

>R-remember the 4.8 gorillion, goyim.
Man, Salesocaust is so boring

MH is far less catering to casuals than the souls series is you can see that in the iframes for the rolls where the souls series has a ton of them but monhun a few.

Doesn't change the fact that every casual and their grandma can easily play the game without problems.

You niggers are high MH is pretty easy with the greatsword/lance. The only difficult thing about it is the ridiculous health pools the big monsters have.

That's not even remotely right
FU didn't even break 4mil.
capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

I feel that, unlike fighting game,s MH is a lot about learning and understanding things. The first time you fight a new mosnter you're always cautios to not get hit and learn what it can do.
The same hunt with the same gear can take much less time later on as you know when to attack and when to avoid attacks, enforcing that feel of improvement and getting better at the game.

Newer installments have better hitboxes and most of the time if you're hit it's because something was soppussed to hit, not because clunky hitboxes that made no sense.
Showing all those areas and hitboxes, to me, kills a lot the inmersion and learning curve and makes even more clear that you're playing a game.

It would be like putting mandatory text boxes in Souls games that stop the gameplay to say "enemies can ambush you" instead of letting the player be ambushed by a weak enemy and learn from it, expecting ambushed from other enemies later on.

The less a game reminds you it's a game, the better the experience will be.

Character models and animations that don't look like they're from the PSP era.

But who am I kidding? The only way Capcom can keep making a profit on this series is to recycle that shit like Compile Heart does with Neptunia.

Yes it did even in Japan alone.

you'll have to define what you mean by play the game without problems

>inb4 struggling for 30 minutes on half the quests to hr unlock while double carting is considered 'easily playing the game without problems'

...

I said no because I don't have a ps4.

There's nothing wrong with MH's animations. Hell, they're one of the series' strongest points

>blog
>dead link
Are you really going to argue with capcom's official site?

Zenith very fast pupper!

I mean simply finishing the game.

it depends on the context, is seeing the hitboxes just an option you can turn on or is it something that only appears in a separate training mode? i think the latter is acceptable

i think letting people see that the monster doesn't actually turn into a gigantic ball of death when it attacks would go a long way towards helping people understand how MH combat works

*tips kasa*

It's really easy to just hit & run the monsters or turtle with a lance, but the point is to become good with the weapons so you can be aggressive and make hunts faster. Honestly, monsters don't have much health, at best the G-rank ones but it's more about having less openings or being mroe dangerous and therefore encourages a more defensive play.

True but don't act as if you need to be a skill god to play MH, even 12 year old kids like it

What does 'finishing the game' mean for MonHun?
Because you can struggle your way to the credits, it's casual?
My sister could beat DMC on Easy

Sony already ruined God of War. I don't want them ruining Monster Hunter

When Monster Hunter goes open world (which it will if it goes to the PS4), that is the day I stop playing Monster Hunter.

the older monsters could do with quite a bit of polish on their recycled animations but i agree that their newer ones as well as the animations of new monsters are superb

no, I don't have a ps4.
I would buy it on the pc tho

Dude, the link he gave you has the world wide sales of those games. It didn't cross 4mil.

>Would you like to get the franchise on the PS4?
I'd rather have it on the 3DS so I don't have to pay to play it with friends, or the switch so I'm at least only paying $20

If it's a separate optional trainign mode that's not part of the mainline quests then I guess it's fine, as it could help some people to udnerstand how things work as you say.

If it's a mandatory tutorial then it's really stupid as it introduces a mechanic that unless there's a version for ALL monsters it's useless. And, even then, having a training mode for all mosnters streamlines things a bit too much. Not seeing or knowing that grey area wether an attack will connect or not it's part of the appeal and gives a lot of tension to the hunt.

Huh it is dead. Anyway Capcom's number doesn't account for the many re-releases the FU got that sold millions based on the chart. They only count the base FU. The "PSP The Best" releases are not technically called FU. All other MH titles get "The Best" re-releases, but FU one sold the best.

>Because you can struggle your way to the credits, it's casual?
Yes, if casuals can finish all the main content it's a casual friendly game. This is also true for DMC and evey other game with an easy mode.
DMC is in fact popular with the casual crowd.

they play it in groups
solo G rank is where the true monster hunter connoiseurs get separated from the trash

See Add another roughly 1.5 million to that number, which gives you the VGChartz figure.

Damn son, you right. Why is Capcom is releasing them on the 3DS when they could do it with the PSP?

No, and I'm speaking as a hueg Sonybro. No doubt they'd casualize the game if it comes out on consoles.
I mostly play jrpg games but haven't got the chance to play it on 3ds, hope they announce a new one on Switch so I could get the handheld as well.

God of War was never good.

It was a decent DMC clone. Better than the cinematic trash it'll become with the next game

MH is already casual, that's literally how it's described by the developers themselves.
I'm a pretty big fan of the series but people who act as if the game isn't accessible to huge casuals and doesn't have casual appeal are full of shit.

Every GoW is cinematic quick time event: the game.
Play the games before talking.

I did. Yes, they are a bit trigger-happy with the QTEs, but I still found them enjoyable. The series should have just ended for good with 3, though

I'm still confident in MH5 is PS4/Switch.

Not him but the only way it would sell better is if you combine both freedom 2 and unite because that site consolidates rereleases of the same game.

Monster Hunter wouldn't appeal to Sony's casual dudebro market, so I imagine it would fail then just end up back on Nintendo's side where it was successful in the west

If it were to ever swap back to Sony
How do people keep thinking MH on Sony is ever gonna happen again? Capcom's not gonna put that much effort into it.
Reason why they keep it on Nintendo is because they don't have to prioritize graphics because, surprise, graphics aren't important.

No it's not the same game. You see this chart , those are arranged in the same game order, counting HD releases.

It won't be exclusive to the PS4 anyway. Hoping more on a PC release if anything.

>Monster Hunter wouldn't appeal to Sony's casual dudebro market
How did Persona 5 and Nier Automata become so popular on PS4?

Why is MHXX on Switch if graphics is not important?

i think there are some elements to monster hunter that absolutely should be made crystal clear to new players like how sharpness works and how monster hitzones work

The the game didn't sell as much as as you think it did because it doesn't make a second appearance on the list of million+ sellers. Or that it consolidates every release.
In any case they have to make a record of this for legal reasons and if it isn't there then it didn't happen. Simple as that.

Because resolution

But it happened and people already tracked those sales.

the thing about MH is that it's a long running franchise that has retained the same core gameplay through all the games, so a lot of things are handled in a way that if you're a veteran player it doesn't get too much in your way.

but that also means that new players can get confused as the game throws a lot of things on you right at the start. happened to me back in Tri and I know several people who dropped the game because of it.

I'm sure there's a way to please both sides but it's hard to find.

Isn't that graphics? Doesn't the PS4 have like 4k resolution if that is so important?

Then where are the records of these sales? Like I said FU doesn't make another appearance.

Here . I believe these are Famitsu numbers, not Mediacreate.
