“Unfortunately we can’t really say at this point. There’s no room to say we’re porting our current software to Nintendo hardware. It comes down to what we’ve already said – we want to deliver the perfectly adapted game for the hardware we have in mind. That was our design concept, and our mission from the very beginning. Being able to adapt Monster Hunter for those systems – adapting that to different hardware doesn’t really work this time around. But in the future, thinking of something like the Switch, we’ll think about how to adapt it for that platform.”
>But in the future, thinking of something like the Switch, we’ll think about how to adapt it for that platform.” They literally imply right here they're probably making future Switch games.
Nathan Martin
It'll be a huge flop.
By and large the greatest amount of Monster Hunter fans are on Nintendo/handheld, not playstation, not PC, not xbox. All the console Monster Hunters barely got any support or sales, that' s why they went to Nintendo and handhelds in the first place. Sony just paid well for them to come back. No console Monster Hunter game will ever do better than a handheld Monster Hunter game, even if you want to pretend it's a completely new thing. World is still a Monster Hunter game, just watered down.
I imagine the plan for YEARS now has always been for Playstation to push games as a service onto people and then have third party call the 'old' way as being too outdated for them.
Similar to carts vs discs.
How well is PS Now doing?
Parker Jenkins
looking forward to the sales failure of MHW.
Alexander Foster
Nintendo shills will never admit just how much third parties hate working on shit Nintendo consoles.
Charles Jones
>playstation is the future >PS4 is the last Sony homeconsole
Justin Hernandez
If they are making a port, they are not gonna say anything about it until 2 or 3 months after the ps4 version is released. Otherwise it would kill the sales of the ps4 version in Japan.
Adam King
This is what you shit eating Nintendo cocksuckers said about PS3. Only to get royally BTFO this gen.
Dominic Reyes
>All of these games are terrible
Hmmm... really makes you think.
Jason Morgan
>By and large the greatest amount of Monster Hunter fans are on Nintendo/handheld, not playstation Look up the sales for the PSP MH games toddler. The numbers might scare you.
Jordan Edwards
Most Switch users already have a ps4/PC combo, so it would be a waste of time/resources to port those games anyways.
Owen Howard
Translation: Sony is paying us to keep it exclusive to their console. The dev team has already confirmed that Monster Hunter as a portable game is better than as a console game.
Cameron Turner
Agreed. All games that aren't Zelda:Ubishit Edition and BING BING WAHOO are automatically trash.
Cameron Barnes
Not that guy, but still the public for those games is mostly Japan and psp is a handheld like 3ds.
Luis Harris
Stop falseflagging, that user is right all those games are fucking shit except maybe RE7
Jeremiah Gray
I know I'm gonna sound like a Nintenbaby shill, but literally only Overwatch and Monster Hunter in that image could be considered good games. All the others got met with severe criticism and awful game design.
Elijah Cook
Good.
In a perfect world, Nintendo consoles would not exist. We don't live in that perfect world not just yet.
Aiden Sanchez
Why are Nintendo shills so eager to smear MHW? Why don't you get a PS4/PC like normal people and just play the game? Atleast MH is free from 240p hell at last.
Carter Foster
Cool opinion backed by absolutely nothing.
Jace Harris
...
Owen Thompson
The thing about the PSP is that Monster Hunter was THE reason to own a PSP. It was the best selling game on the platform and was a huge deal.
World won't have the same kind of appeal because it's not portable, and they've made drastic changes to the formula that WILL alienate the core fanbase.
Blake Morgan
I dont like MH
Alexander Moore
CAPCOM fucked up and they know it, that's hilarious
Elijah Smith
But I agree. How can Ubisoft games even compete with Zelda:Ubisoft? Or Titanfall even come close to Kiddy Paintball Shooter?
Eli Scott
PSP is portable/handheld you inbred retard.
Brandon Gray
It's a game that clearly has no reason to exist.
Ryan Thompson
I never got into it because it was like pulling teeth to be able to play a new game. I had a Wii, but wasn't interested at the time. Now I am interested and all a home console has seen is just a port of a port of a port. I might very well buy MH3U for Wii U still, but I'm a lot more excited for World because it's just a brand new game available for PC.
Jeremiah Hernandez
>Playstation is the future. where did they say that tho?
Hunter Collins
Ok man I just sure hope you are underage.
Juan Wood
>tfw nintenbro with ps4 >will be able to enjoy both monhun world and XX when it gets eng locale
You guys really should get more than one console.
Wyatt Morgan
This is the target audience for MHW.Grafixfag dudebros
Eli Baker
NO NO NO NO NO NO WHAT THE FUCK FUCKING SONYPONIES THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR YEAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAH HELP IM GETTING SUCKED IN
Michael Hill
What does PSP stand for toddler? PLAYSTATION portable.
Go ahead. Look up the sales. You said fans aren't on Playstation. Look up the sales for how well MH did on PSP. I might aswell remind this retard toddler that MH fucking started on PS2.
Jose Butler
>monster hunter It's shit anyway and I'm saying this as a PC fag.
Ethan Long
>crapcom >having a future lol
Jeremiah Diaz
Yeah no it's great seeing all these "SWITCH DA BES" "PS4 DA BES" threads. Really, thanks.
Jayden Martin
>Nintendo releases Switch >No longer I massively underpowered piece of shit like tge 3DS >Capcom actually has to put effort into MH now since they cant get away with the garbage look they had on 3DS >Decided that since they have to actually put work in they may as well release it on the actual consoles instead >Nintendo loses MH cause they tried to play catchup with the orher platform holders
Woah
Camden Cruz
Neither does your existence yet here you are.
Thomas Sanders
>You guys really should get more than one console. The PS4 literally has 3 good exclusives total. Why the fuck would I spend $300 on that?
Elijah Thomas
Technically Sony is the past since World is already revealed. Nintendo is the future since Switch monhun hasn't been revealed.
Jonathan Harris
Yeah, graphics that are still only about as good as PS3 graphics. There's a big difference between a graphics fetish and not wanting to play on a tiny portable screen.
Alexander Morris
So you trying to say that sony consumers like to have mans in their asses? Thats offensive
Nolan Garcia
>By and large the greatest amount of Monster Hunter fans are on Nintendo/handheld >handheld >hand >held
Blake Evans
SEETHING
Jacob Ross
I'm the core fanbase. been playing since the first. I don't yet feel alienated. If anything I feel more welcomed to the series because they toned down the pointlessness of some shit.
Wyatt Diaz
But this game is literally better on the X and PC. PS4 gets the inferior version.
Jacob Lewis
IT'S NOT FAIR
IT WAS NINTENDO'S TURN
REGGIE MY OVERLORD PROMISED US WE WOULD GET MORE THAN JUST MARIO REHASHES FOR KIDS
Cooper Williams
What are the chances that this game will have lootboxes?
I personally can't wait to get a lootbox with a rathalos ruby inside
Alexander Ortiz
There hasn't been a proper console MH in ages. Fans are starved for one, and I'm personally hype as fuck it's finally happening.
Anthony Stewart
This will be the highest selling Monster Hunter game yet. Most MH fans already own a PS4, Xbox One, or PC.
Ryan Robinson
>Buying Monster Hunter on the weakest platform >Playing with the most Fischer Price breakable controller that is the Dualshock
I only did that shit before because I had too. I'm buying that shit on the One X, my Playstation can suck dust for all I care.
Liam Martinez
Here the Hunters are throwing paintballs at each other and here i am, waiting for a MH stories sequel. Hell, make it a full spin off called Monster RIDER!
Noah Richardson
Karma for holding the game hostage on 240p Nintendo toy, toddlers. PC-PS4 combo is the future. No third-party will bother making 7th gen games just for Switch. Get real you deluded fucks.
Gavin Wilson
>3U for Wii U >Tri for Wii >Ages
Monster Hunter is in and of itself a Loot box simulator.
Alexander Taylor
It won't be a port. The monhun audience in Japan wants an actual mainline game, not this international cinematic thing. World won't sell in Japan and they know it.
John Edwards
You realize Capcom is in panic mode right now on the inside? They didn't think the Switch would be a success, now they're trying to damage control and think of ways to quickly get a new MH on the Switch since it's absolutely raping the PS4 in Japan.
Elijah Reyes
I'm glad that I won't ever again have to play Monster Hunter on a 240p screen again.
Levi Allen
I hope this gamble pays off, the Switch is rapidly nearing half of the amount of PS4's install base in Japan and no matter how much the Sonybros here meme about buying 10 copies of MHW Day One, if it flops in Japan and the West then kiss that shit goodbye. Not to mention it's dealing with Fighter Z on its release day which is pretty much going to eclipse it.
Elijah Campbell
This. Anyone with a brain can read this on the interview.
Justin Johnson
Switch is selling worse than 3DS in Japan prior to MH release.
Isaiah Gonzalez
will capcom's investors be happy when it cant outsell generations? id imagine not, why would they be happy about capcom killing off the one franchise still making them money?
Dominic Russell
>WAAAAAAH IT LOOKS LIKE A PS3 GAME INSTEAD OF A PS2 GAME NOW FUCKING GRAPHICS FAG CASUALS!!!
Adrian Davis
I just hope if it goes the way of GaaS, they provide free updates like Overwatch does, and make their money off cash cows who love cosmetics.
Alexander Ross
Pretty much everything is.
Point is, Switch is the future in Japan. PS4 isn't.
Charles Taylor
fairly well. Since it showed up on PC they've reported it as having a double/triple userbase that it had before.
I'm still refusing to use it because it's now a subscription based instead of ala carte. I loved being able to rent a single game for a day, and just beat it. Instead of paying $9.99 a month and having no game work well at fucking all.
Gabriel Perez
I enjoy mh more on a handheld than a console to be honest. They 3ds was terrible though but the switch would be perfect for me. I'll get mhw anyway regardless on what i can play it.
Benjamin Smith
Monster hunter fans buy whatever system monster hunter comes out for. I bought a ps2 for it. I bought a psp for it. i bought a wii u for it. I bought a 3ds for it and even a switch for when mhxx comes stateside. Stop limiting yourself.
Isaac King
But the Switch has a better monhun with more monsters already.
Noah Anderson
I've been playing indies exclusively for the last seven years. In my comfy world, vidya is awesome it's like we never left GBA
Dominic Flores
Capcom fucked up not supporting a 7th gen Nintendo toy instead of PS4-PC-Xbone with an install base of 200m. The future is on Switch. 5 million people can't be wrong! We are coming for you Capcom! Be afraid!
Jose Cox
I'd double dip in a heartbeat if it came out on my Switch. Sadly I have to hold out on XX not being Portable 3rd 2.0. At least I can kind of play it around my house on my Xbox streaming network with my laptop.
Gavin Perez
We don't have a full roster of monster for worlds >what about the leaked list Missing monster we have already seen in trailers. Thus incomplete.
Ethan Thompson
This game is all about graphics. X and PC are literally the only platforms where it makes sense.
Oliver Price
>capcom >future reminder that there was no applause for the monster hunter world trailer during e3 AND paris game week monster hunter world will bomb in the west
Landon Ross
Is it even confirmed to have an xbone x patch? I know it has a pro one confirmed but this shit rarely even comes out in japan on the xbone, they barely even acknowledge it's existence.
Christopher Stewart
Are there plans for it to come here though? I haven't seen anything about that.
David Price
Oh no NO APPLAUSE? Capcom better hurry and cancel the game so they can remake it for a 7th gen toy with a total install base of 5 million.
Julian Gray
Switch is literally sold out everywhere in Japan. It's why I still don't have one.
Blake Hall
They're two entirely different genres and demographics. There's almost 0 overlap between the two, I don't think either one will have it's sales affected by the other. Frankly I can't imagine too many people even buying fighterZ that are hard into fighting games since the bullshit they're pulling with DLC has come to light. Obviously it'll be normie bait just like xenoverse/2.
Bentley Reed
The only people who own just a Nintendo system are children. Currently, parents buy a Switch so their kids can play Minecraft on the go or something. For adults, it's usually a secondary system, for good exclusive games like Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, etc. I guarantee the majority of Monster Hunter fans don't own just a Switch. If it comes to Switch too, that's great, but it's not even necessary for good sales. This shit is gonna sell at least as much as previous titles.
Eli Anderson
Eh, Hearthstone would actually be a good fit speaking about mobile games. You are right that it's not an amazing game or anything though.
Mason Peterson
Yea i'd get it for switch too if it would came even if i already had it for ps4. I'll just hold out for the next mh game that might be released for switch and just get that then.
Dominic Richardson
No, since Generations was considered as a disappointment for Capcom, both in Japan and in the west.
Colton James
Do I need to direct you to the dota card game trailer/reveal as well?
Andrew Diaz
I guess this had to happen once to shut them up. Because making a casual cinematic game aimed at the west, with an IP the target audience never even heard before is something only a clueless investor would ask for.
Lucas Ramirez
japanese AAA games dont have lootboxes yet the beta is soon, itll be datamined likely
Dylan Martinez
Ok? PS4 will still have a bigger install base in every single market when MHW is released.
Nintendo toddlers are so delusional it's become fun just pissing on their extreme daddy nintendo delusions. Even with 150m install base, Wii still didn't get shit for third-parties. Nintendo is poison. And its deluded mentally fanboys even more so.
Grayson Green
>This shit is gonna sell at least as much as previous titles. No way in hell. The 3DS had a Japanese audience of 20 mil, the PS4 has a Japanese audience of 5 mil. It's going to be relying on western sales. Reminder that even bloodborne couldn't sell 3 mil on PS4. The PS4 audience wants shooters and sports games.
Xavier Morales
Switch is supply constraint.
Julian Jenkins
They aren't looking for that demographic but they sure as hell are looking for normies. I've though they made all that clear with the amount of streamlining and articles saying that it's being made with the West in mind.
Jaxson Allen
itll need to sell more than previous titles, you're releasing on 3 systems worldwide, just matching previous titles would be pretty bad
Gabriel Barnes
Regardless of a patch or not it will run better on the One X. The One X cut GTAV loading times down by 60% and doesn't even need dynamic resolution for 30fps locked GoW4 with 4k native.
The PS4 Pro isn't that big of an upgrade. I literally got my Pro to play Planetside at 10fps more than the PS4 Slim.
At least we are getting a Rune Factory clone finally. I'm hype as fuck for Re:Legend. I hope we get more grinding games for the Switch I love that it's HD and handheld so much! Fantasy Life 2 when?
Ayden Hill
Old numbers. Bloodborne is now around 3-4 million copies.
Reminder that Nintendo toddlers only buy Mario rehashes. Xenoblade X didn't even sell one million copies despite being the only JRPG on Wii U.
Aaron Evans
>Reminder that even bloodborne couldn't sell 3 mil on PS4. Still reiterating sales numbers from 2015?
Aiden Ortiz
And look how he'll dodge and run when the pathetic sales of Xenoblade and other non-E rated games on Nintendo are brought up.
Ryder Watson
What the hell. Since it was announced, its always been a global release. Read more.
