Why is this franchise not multiplatform?

Because Japs don't own Xbones and Sony pissed off Capcom/MH Devs.

>>378492894
Go be upset somewhere else

They get money for keeping their games on a single platform

>>378492958
not really, capcom could've just imported their MHO chinese assets but they cant becasue of agreements

and capcom hates not reusing resources

It is.
3DS and Switch.

>>378492894
It's one of those franchises that the nips are inexplicably fanatical about to the point where it can be easily leveraged as a system seller. Don't question it.

Portables and mobile phones is where the money is in Japan, and the Switch is the hot/only portable system out right now.

Waiting for three frog and Wojack falseflaggers.

I don't know shit about how Capcom does Monster Hunter

Why does MHXX being on Switch mean MH5 won't be on PS4?

>>378493635
Every MH game has been on Ninty for several years. What has changed that makes a PS4 version likely?

>>378493780
someone on 4chan said MH5 would be on PS4

>>378492894
Capcom only has 5million dollars, they can't waste resources on silly things like ports.

>>378492894
Because if it was, we'd be btfo and you'd have more shitpost ammo. Cry a river.

>>378492894
They focus on the weakest hardware for MH to save on the most amount of dev time. MHO even looks like outdated junk.

>>378492894
Because you still can't pick up your PS4, take it on the bus and play it easily. I hear Sony pissed off Capcom over trophies but I haven't ever seen a source.

>>378493635
It's the reason why MH jumped ship from the PSP to the Wii/3ds. Nintendo gave them more freedom to do shit online while Sony didnt.

As someone who has never played MH, is it fun? What's it like?

>>378493508
No? You really think it wouldn't sell millions on the Vita?

>>378494354
It's hit and miss on most people. It's very enjoyable to me, especially with a team of buddies but there are some mechanics that put people off like all of the combat.

>>378494354
you either like it or hate it

It can be very grindy, but I find it as pretty fun. especially when I play with a good party of hunters.

each weapon class has a unique feel, so you have to experiment early on to figure out what you like.

Nintendo markets the games in the west, and they distribute them in Europe. Going multi-platform would mean losing that deal.

That being said, MH5 being PS4/Switch multi-platform wouldn't be that surprising. It's the rumors about it being PS4 exclusive that are hard to believe. Such a game would struggle to sell a million on PS4 in Japan, and it's a huge risk to bet on western sales to make up for those lost sales.

>>378494354
How do you like fighting monsters with epic presence? Now imagine feeling like you weigh five thousand tons and having to grind forever to become a fine tuned killing machine.

>>378494369
What's a Vita?

>>378494263

I don't think that's the reason, remember that MH3rd HD was a thing

>>378492894
...but it is?

I mean currently it's on 3DS and PC, but it's also been on the PS2, PSP, 360, and IOS.

There is no point in making it multiplatform. 3DS sold like 5x the PS4 in Japan and the Xbone sold jack shit. Nintendo owns the Japanese market and Monster Hunter only sells in Japan.

>>378492958
>>378494214
Those are just shitposts, Capcom simply doesn't care about porting when the game is only big in Japan. Also keeping it exclusive without a contract lets them pull a few favor from Nintendo which own 90% of the market in Japan.

>>378493635
iirc the MH team was upset with Sony over P3rd, and then Nintendo stepped in and offered them a better deal.

>>378494354
It's really fun. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but I was blown away. When you read the title "monster hunter" you don't think of it literally, but it is literal. It's a hunting game (think, hunting deer for example) that just happens to use Monsters (mostly dinosaurs) instead of animals. It's really relaxing.

>>378494773

>remember that MH3rd HD was a thing

MH3rd is EXACTLY the reason why the MH Team migrated to Ninty. Sony wanted trophies, paid DLC, and brand new online servers FOR A PORT and Capcom told them to piss off.

>>378492894
Day one purchase

>>378492958
>Sony pissed off Capcom/MH Devs
>portable 3rd sold better than most nintendo titles

>>378495369
Well yeah it was the last MonHun game on the PSP (and that was the shit over there back in the day).

>>378495191
Wrong, they were already developing 3U with the 3DS in mind before P3rd was out.

SCEE and SCEA didn't want to update a PSP-based program on their stores because the PSP was dead in the west so Capcom decided to cancel the PS3's port localization.

The port itself was a contractual obligation handled by a C team, by no means important to Capcom.

>>378492894
Because nintendo can pay more than sony and the limited hardware mean less cost to make each game.

Its called business

>>378495690
Probably should have made it obvious: the PS3 port uses that PSP tunneling program to play online.

>>378495369
The PSP sold a lot more than the 3DS so you would expect it to have sold better there. Regardless capcom shat out a yearly monster Hunter on 3DS and ended up selling around 15 million units on it. I'm not sure on how the money is divided but if Capcom got $20 on each game that's 300 million dollars to build one game and then make minor modifications and re-release it over a 5 year period.

Hopefully it will be one day

Sure, but MH has sold 12.4 million units across Sony platforms, while it has 18.6 million across Nintendo platforms.

>literally, A-bomb syndrome PSTD

>>378492894

Because it has a Japanese fanbase and its main forte, and main reason for its gargantuan popularity, is because of its local multiplayer. The Japanese value face to face interactions so this immediately rules out home consoles.

Secondly, making it exclusive lets Nintendo help out in marketing and promoting the game. Ruling out the Vita. Not like Sony was going to bother helping anything out regarding the Vita.

Anyhow, rumor has it that Capcom is going to shoot themselves in the foot and make MH5 for the PS4, so be happy come this E3.

>>378496675

If monster hunter does come to PS4, I can probably sell my switch for an extra $100 and get a PS4 instead I guess

>>378496980

Because years ago Nintendo paid Capcom to put it on Nintendo 3DS exclusively for the next numbered entry, that clause also included Nintendo being able to stretch out that entry to x number of titles over a period of time until it was complete. (The hilarious thing is that despite this move MonHunPort3rd on PSP is still the highest selling entry after all these years.) This is why Nintendo is a bad company, Sony never paid Capcom to keep it only on PSP and were happy to let Capcom put it on other consoles if need be but Nintendo are only interested in a monopoly where other companies can't compete because they are Jewish cunts.

Doesn't matter anymore anyway since we know that the next numbered entry is coming to to least PS4 and maybe PC. It wasn't a sure thing at first but after that genuine tweet from the Japanese twitter account it's a definite thing. I would bet E3 or TGS for the reveal especially as XX for Switch launches just a couple weeks before TGS starts.

>>378497186

Yes yes, we all saw when rumor dropped and when it was validated by the reveal.

What you should be complaining about is how no journalist reporting the rumor is mentioning that even at Capcom there's a big war over the game's existence.

It is multiplatform though. 3ds, and Switch.
Did you not see that they can play together?

Sony refused to let Capcom put out Portable 3rd HD in english unless they built their own online service since Adhoc party that it used was japan only at the time.

Nintendo on the other hand offered to help fund development on their platforms.

>>378498160
I'll be right there with you. You'd be retarded to think the rumor is true, especially after XX's Switch announcement. Even Capcom isn't stupid enough to announce 5 before XXS is even out. And obviously they wouldn't announce 5 at E3 anyway.

>>378498278

that explains one game, not ten more. nintendo is paying big time to keep mh off playstation. this is nothing new.

>>378498603
your proof?

>>378498924

either newfag or willfully ignoring history.

have you ever noticed that sony doesn't do much to get games? even when their platforms are less popular (psp, ps3, vita), devs support them. when nintendo is less popular (n64, gc, wiiu), their platforms become nintendo boxes. when was the last time you saw a nintendo exclusive randomly switch platforms? now look at some of the random games you see on 3ds and tell me that nintendo doesn't pay.

I'm glad Monster Hunter is exclusive to a platform that isn't Sony, the faster that Sony is dissolved the faster video games cease to be the joke they are now.

>>378493635
Do you seriously think that Nintendo doubled the Ram in the Switch at the request of Capcom for Street Fighter or Monster Hunter XX Switch Version?

>>378499371

>I'm in college
Not being able to get a console is the least of your problems right now.

>>378498034
>So is there there tangible proof of that or is it the next big rumor?

That was the original rumor of MH5 going to the PS4, Capcom signing a deal with Sony for an exclusive open world MH5 but having an internal strife over the decision and then panicking even more over the decision when it was revealed how popular MH4U and MHG are and how they both were successful in the West, thereby invalidating the need for the lengths they're going to make MH5 appeal to the West.

If there was tangible proof, it'd be a leak. The only reason this rumor has credibility is because it got the name of MHXX correct before MHXX was officially revealed for the 3DS last year (the general thought was that the name was going to be MHXG).

>>378498034
>>378500570

And there's still the possibility of the leaker who got the name making up stuff because he got one thing right, but who knows? It's just a rumor.

>>378500167
Or maybe they were sick of how they were being treated and switched to a different alternative, like with megaman x and final fantasy

>>378492894
Because that way everyone would see how garbage it is and it would fail. This way, it's stuck to a shitty platform that has like 2 other games, so retards have no choice but to buy it every year and pretend it's good.

>>378499371
Nintendo doesn't really have to pay for it like that, and if they really wanted to they could just flat-out buy Capcom to get all their franchises

Are you a fucking retard or something?

>multiplat = multiple platforms
>MHXX is on 3DS and Switch
>not multiplat

In fact, Capcom just gave me a really good reason to not bother with the Switch. I can just buy it for the platform I already own (3DSXL) and play it with no online fee on the same rooms as Switch users. No fucking reason whatsoever to get the Switch.

If you are talking about non-nintendo platforms, MonHun is on all systems but the Xbone. PS4 has Frontier, PC also has Frontier, MHO, and can emulate any PSP MonHun game WITH online (MHFU and MHP3rd being the most popular)

Also, MHXX is clearly the last MonHun before a full reboot. It's clearly a low-effort entry (compare the new villages in MH4U and all the monster cutscenes to MHXX's recycled villages and lazy monster intros and lazy "Hyper" versions of monters to pad content) with a lot of fan service, callbacks to previous games and gimmicks up the wazoo to entice the tired veterans and experimenting before moving on to a new project.

My bet is that they have been using developer resources in the future reboot, building a new engine and models (MHXX will be the last to recycle PS2 models for a decade now) for the next decade to come. Thankfuly with MHX / MHXX lower sales I think Capcom wants to expand the main franchise to other systems too.

>>378493635

It doesn't.
If anything it only solidifies the rumors. Switch isn't getting a new MonHun game, just a port of a 3DS title, much like the WiiU.
I very much doubt there will be any more mainline MonHun games for the 3DS, and the Switch is too small to sustain the franchise. Capcom HAS to go multiplat with the next MonHun entries.

If Switch had a 60million population by next year then sure, MH5 could be exclusive to it. But it won't. MH5 is so obviously going multiplat.

It is though? You can still play Monster Hunter on the PS2 and PSP.

>>378502071
Not as good as MH4U, but it's still a fun game. All the additions and refinement to how the game feels makes it impossible to go back to before MH4, that's for sure.

Sony's worst selling homeconsole was the PS3, which sold more than any Nintendo homeconsole except for the Wii.

Playstation isn't going anywhere, big boy. Even if in your wet dreams all other Sony branches go to shit and Sony needs to stop TV production, camera production, sensor production, etc, the Playstation branch will still be active.

Also, PS1 and PS2 eras were golden ages of vidya. Last gen was a shitshow because Nintendo and MS were on top for the most part. You got your conspiracies backward.

>>378502073
Yeah, the only way MH will survive is if they make it for more handhelds.
Consoles don't matter since MH has never sold well on any console regardless of userbase, PS4 being no different.

Yes friendo, they are 100% going to release MH5 for the 8 million or so people who'll own a Switch by next year.

Never said anything about MonHun. I just replied to your question directly. You can play PS4 outside via a Vita with online. I wasn't trying to imply anything else with that.

The devs don't care about graphics so they don't want to work on cosonles where they'd have no excuse to not put effort in the graphics.

If Crapcom does decided somehow to go with PS4, there is no way in hell they won't be catering to the western audience, PS4 only has sold 4m in Japan, they can just say fuck it, in which case Sonyfriends can gladly have it.

Until Sony comes out with a new, successful, portable device, they will not see a mainline Monhun game.

Unlike in the west, portability has become increasingly important in Japan.

>>378503026

>>378502696
>the two things you need for a MH game to be a success
It's also stagnating. There's no problem with expanding to best-selling homeconsoles if that'll lead to more recognition from the West over time. They can still release it on Switch to make it portable, but also on PS4/PC to reach a broader audience audience.

This example will be completely anecdotal, but I recently got a friend into MonHun. I introduced him with MHP3rd on PPSSPP, a PS3 texture version in english with online. He played it at 1080p with a PS4 controller and got to grips with the franchise. We played through most of it (got to HR5 and killed every monster at least once). He really wanted to try out newer versions so I told him we could try MHG next. We both got it for free and he simply couldn't do it. The downgrade in image quality was too much for him even though he's not a graphics fag at all. 240p is simply too little after you play MonHun at a nice resolution. He also couldn't get used to the 3DS's relatively shitty controls (compared to a normal dual analog controller), even with the new semi-auto target mode he just couldn't get used to it.

I'm still going through it right now because I knew what to expect out of a 3DS considering I had already played 3U and 4U on it. But it is indeed a huge downgrade right after playing it on PC (even though it was just a PSP game) to playing it on a 3DS, both image-quality and control wise.
He'd be just one of many to buy a mainline MonHun day1 if it ever came out on PS4 or PC.

>>378502641

If it normally sells like shit on consoles, then it doesn’t matter what the install base is. Fucking A, you drones have to stop being in denial. Not every game is going to see a PS4 release. Shit not even 3DS gets every game in existence.

>>378503026
MonHun got progressively easier, with added gimmicks, more attack patterns, more movement options and quality-of-life changes. You had to work more for less in older games and had less to work with too.

That's the TL;DR of it

>>378492894
That's okay, a PS4 version is getting announced in the next 2 weeks or during E3.

Enjoy your timed exclusive, Nintenbros.

>>378503640

>>378503640
It's only going to happen if Sony makes another handheld.

>>378503871

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>>378503523
>If it normally sells like shit on consoles, then it doesn’t matter what the install base is
Why do you think it sells like shit on consoles?

It didn't sell bad on PS2 because at a time it was a very niche new IP. Out of the 3 projects Capcom put forward it was the one to sell the best.

Wii's actual core base wasn't that big, the console sold mostly to (now) phone and facebook "gamers". So even though it reached 100m sales, the type of person who'd be interested in a game like MonHun in the west was a much smaller base.

Then 3U came on the WiiU, a 13 million seller.

And that's it. The west only ever got the game 3 times on homeconsoles. The first barely counts because it was a completely new thing that no one knew about and the franchise drastically changed since then. Then only Wii and WiiU owners got a chance to buy it.

You can't really say as a fact that it sells like shit on consoles in the west when there were barely any opportunities. None for Playstation of PC users for the past decade+. they mostly released it on nintendo homeconsole platforms that are known to sell the LEAST ammount of 3rd party titles.

>>378503823

I'm sure Japan are going to love being forced to buy a 3G Vita model to connect to their PS4 over the internet just to adhoc with friends in public along with 100+ms input lag.

I really hate /v/.
This thread doesn't have any MH fans in here. Just faggots who only care what console it's going to be on

Thankfully MHXX has been confirmed to run at 1080p docked/720p portable by capcom.

>>378504045

Three opportunities is a lot for a company in this industry, especially one like Capcom. They don't have much patience for games that sell like shit. What makes you think they'll try a 4th time? What makes the PS4 so special in your eyes?

>>378504615
But it is gonna be fps locked because of 3ds crossplay? MH3U getting fps drops all over the goddamn place on Wii U was a fucking disgrace

the real reason is that it sells best on handheld and capcom just shits it onto whichever handheld has the higher installbase.

>>378492894
MH4U sales:
NA: 700k
EU: 500k
JP: 2.7m

The biggest userbase of the PS4 is in the west, mainly EU, which doesnt give a shit about MH.

>>378504719
I hope it's 60fps, as framerate shouldn't have anything to do with internet connectivity.
Portable switch is effectively the same power as Wii U, and that managed 1080p 45fps(avg), so 720p 60fps shouldn't be hard, and docked is double Wii U power, so 1080p 60fps shouldn't be hard either.

>>378496380
Damn imagine if the west never stopped giving no fucks and kept their "whites only" policies.
Would the States be in the same situation as Japan?

>>378495246
nice source.

I believe the trophies tho. but I dunno why Capcom has no problem releasing their 10 other series with trophies on Sony systems.

One of the reasons nintendo plaforms do well in japan is monster hunter. The other reason is pokemon.

57 million install base of PS4 vs 2.8 million Switch.

Gee, that's a hard question.

>>378492958
Aren't there a few MH games on the 360?

>>378505014
it's better than being bombed every week

>>378492894
they don't want to split the playerbase

MH3U sold

JPN 3DS: 1.96m
JPN WiiU: 220k


MHX sold:

JPN 3DS: 2.81m


MHXX sold:

JPN 3DS: 1.3m
JPN NSW: ???


I think MHXX port will flop.

>>378505421
Way more than 2.8 million at this point. 57 million ps4s and only about less than 3 million copies of bloodborne sold. Most of the people that bought ps4s are massive casuals that buy dudebro games and early access survival garbage, look at psn charts every week. Capcom would be insane not to focus on the people that actually bought their games on 3ds

>>378505421
Most of the PS4 install base is in the west, most of the Switch install base is in Japan.

Monster Hunter sells mostly in Japan, it isnt a successful series in the west.

>>378499371
>Nintendo paying
IF Nintendo were willingly to spend big bucks just to keep 1 franchise as exclusive, for that matter they could buy all Capcom

>>378505587
Bloodborne sold more than twice in the west than the most sucessful MH released here.

Can everyone just be happy that MH is finally not stuck on that 240p POS?
I have a PS4, Switch, PC. I honestly couldn't care less what platform it came to, as long as it was a resolution not for ants and I could use a real controller.
Any true MH fan would feel the exact same way.

>>378505854
>Can everyone just be happy that MH is finally not stuck on that 240p POS?
i would if it wasn't MHXX.

Also Frontier Z and MHO have been out for a year running at 1080p60fps for a while dog

>>378496201
lets see
>Sony
MH
MHF

really makes you think

>>378506004
>Frontier Z and MHO
I'd rather not play the MMOfied versions of MH. I'd fucking love if MH5(?) came out with MHO's visuals though. Again, I don't care what platform.

>>378506185
>Again, I don't care what platform.
same, but im not dropping $400 for mhxx, especially after mhx being so bad

>>378506004

Why was X bad?

stop posting my friend, mhxx is even worse with brave style existing

thank god i can face my tank to victory and be rewarded for being hit~ thanks capcom!!

>>378506296
Not him, but:
-Shit backgrounds
-Shit roster
-Styles suck

>>378506345
Why don't you just use guild style then if you hate these new styles so much?

I don't know why people are arguing. It's pretty obvious why it's on the Nintendo Switch and that's because of its portability. Online/multiplayer connectivity has been important since the very first MH on PS2 and now these days MH needs not just that but also portability for it to be a success.

You could argue that they could also put MH on Vita but Vita is fucking dead because Sony have very much stopped supporting it right now.

>>378506345
All the styles are optional. Just pick guild style (the default standard MH movesets) and don't pick any arts.
Arts are all pretty shit and pointless anyways.

>>378506296
Increased UI, making it look like FoV reduced
Grindiest MH to date (it crams in 4 games worth of quests, including all the tutorial gathering shit; and if you want the best end game gear (hayabusa feather) you gotta do all of it )
Shitty deviant/ticket system, if you thought leveling up GQs were bad, ticket system requires you to acquire tickets to advance to the next level, and you gotta also use tickets to make gear for your Diablo 3/WoW stylized sets with unique set bonuses. Have fun killing the same monster 30 times to get a LV6 set, and 20+ more times to max it. Oh yeah, you gotta do that for your weapon too

Styles, but not because they exist. Styles are dope. Styles and Arts have the problem of being absolutely broken and the AI has no idea what the fuck to do when the hunter is pole vaulting all over the fucking place.

>>378506432
>>378506523

Does that stop other people from using game breaking styles and arts when playing online?

>>378506523
>>378506432
>y-you don't have to use the strong shit
I don't use them, but they need to be balanced.
I play guild bow, thankfully bushido bow is only slightly better than it. Thank god I'm not a lance player or Swaxe player and forced to play striker because it does that much more damage over guild

>>378497814
white piggu go home

>>378506574
Don't speak for me, I hate styles, but not because they exist. They're broken as shit and OP and I CHOOSE not to use them. I don't play online and even if I did I wouldn't care how others play. That's fucking autistic. And I'm the player that says MHX is the worst mon hun to date.

>>378506574
No, but you're already breaking the game's difficulty by playing online in the first place.

>>378505624
It's grown a lot in the west since tri though

>>378506423
XX fixes the roster

So where are the hunter arts going to be on the hud? Is there still going to be a lock on icon for monsters?

>>378506950
dpad

>>378506950
Direction buttons for arts, ZL and ZR as usual for monster selection lock on.

>>378506563
>it crams in 4 games worth of quests, including all the tutorial gathering shit; and if you want the best end game gear (hayabusa feather) you gotta do all of it
i literally quit mhx after that
i was going to make my SnS set, saw what i needed and was like lmao fuck that

>>378492894
it is, Frontier's on PC

>>378506563
You don't have to get hayabusa feather

most of these gathering quests are optional

>>378506461
>portability.
No.
Switch is going to be for home play.
3DS is going to be for mobile play

Buying MHXX on nintendo online store gives ties both MHXX (3DS) and MHXX (NDS) to your account. They also can share data between one another.

Why does it take forever to release english versions

>>378507647
you can bring the switch out on handheld mdoe

>>378507658
Because you touch yourself.

>>378508056
Mummy says it's natural for a boy my age

>>378507658
mh dont sell a lot in the west, it's not that important the gaijin version

>>378508360
Japanese only. I honestly don't know why P3rd was never localized. It's better than base Tri, that's for sure.

>>378505773
That night be because of the association with Dark Souls. Just saying.

>>378492894

Because Nintendo won.

>>378497663
If we're posting rumors with no proof, let's talk about how Sony lied to Capcom about Vita's 3G gaming capabilities which turned out to be shit soon after launch and soured their relationship.

I don't give a fuck about the Switch, PS4 or PC (never gonna happen anyway). I am just waiting for the 3DS release.

>>378492894
>Why is this franchise not multiplatform?

because capcom hates money

Nintendo and Sony doesn't really play well together and since Monster Hunter is all about online fun MH team decided to just focus on the best selling console at the time which was the 3DS. And I'm guessing Nintendo gladly helped Capcom port over to Switch which saved them even more money.

>>378499518
>Do you seriously think that Nintendo doubled the Ram in the Switch at the request of Capcom for Street Fighter or Monster Hunter XX Switch Version?
I honestly believe Nintendo made the New 3DS just for Monster Hunter. Since it was released same day as MH4G and U in the west. And there's really no other game where it enhance it more than Monster Hunter.

>>378492894
?
It's on PC. Only casuals here in Japan play the console ones.

>>378498026
Now that's fucking absurd. Tomodachi Life has outsold every individual 3DS Monster Hunter, and Capcom has nowhere else to go. They need Nintendo and their handhelds more than Nintendo needs them.

>>378513804
LMAO the PC versions are fucking ass

>>378495780
>not being in a college that can get you a job and at the same time pay tuition fees and personal needs
it's like you barely looked at all

>>378492894
Because then Capcom would have to create new assets at modern resolutions instead of just reusing the same assets from the PSP games they released a decade ago.

Monster Hunter 5 on 3DS/Switch

There you have your multiplatform

>>378514295
>3ds
>again
No thanks, it needs to be exclusively developed and optimized for switch

>>378492894
It is though.

>>378514456
This is MH team

They are going to use the same assets one more time and you know it.

>>378514295
I wouldn't be surprised.

I also wouldn't be surprised by Switch/PS4/XB1/PC if Capcom's accountants decide Nintendo's moneyhats don't outweigh the benefits of multiplat

I would be slightly surprised by full Switch exclusivity.

I would be extremely surprised if it skipped the Switch.

>>378505773
On ten times the budget.

>>378505043

capcom simply doesn't like sony portables that much

You can play it right now at any resolution on PPSSPP, translated, with PS3 high rez textures + with multiplayer and any controller you want to use.

I took this screenshot before I changed the font, which is something you can also do.

MHP3rd is for sure. plenty of people to play with.

I haven't tried MHFU though, but I suspects there may still be a dozen people playing it.
Anon, why not just get a friend to play with?
