Boo!
They did actually redo the Shoryuken animation in each numbered SF game.
If it gets localized then I assume we'll get it either Q4 2017 or Q1 2018.
something something contract something something stealing our games

Capcom to announce MH5 for 3DS
Its possible but it will be new 3ds and Switch for that extra power.
I honestly believe MH5 will be cross platform between 3ds and Switch.

I think if they wanted online control over it they should be able to make their own system without using system level cross saves anyway, I doubt it will use a literal 3DS save file for the Switch version, for example the Switch version might have some display/controller settings that aren't present in the 3Ds.

I mean, it looks like a very pretty 3ds game, which is what I was expecting. I can't wait for them to make a new game from the ground up on this system!
Also, for everyone thinking the series is returning to Sony for ps4, show me one rumor that isn't just wishful thinking started by a Sony fan. Nintendo has a contract with Capcom for these games. I don't see one going to a Sony platform anytime soon.

I dont know where you are buying your games in europe but except zelda (thay even then you could find cheaper in places lile mediamarkt) switch games have been releasing from 40-49 euros.
Hell, even street fighter 2 swith that is from capcom is selling in europe for 29 euros.
yeah, mhxx could be a test for that, and the 3ds will receive newer MH games until switch sells enough units to handle 4-5 million copies sold
I actually personally think some form of PS4 release is really likely. I just think Capcom's comments are vague enough to be meaningless.
Especially keeping in mind the MH4 announcement PR had a whole paragraph talking about their commitment to a multiplatform strategy which Vita fans held on to as proof it would release on Vita too for years.(Some Wii U fans too)
To be fair, Wii U fans actually did have some reason to be hopeful for a port with the existence of MH3U, up until the online play announcement that put all the nails in that particular coffin.
Vita fans are a different story entirely, but there's no need to drudge up such bitter and occasionally hilarious memories.
Switch is also portable my friend wich japanese people seem to love.

At the very least I'm hoping Nintendo push this for localisation. As I said earlier, I'd hold off importing if I knew a western release was coming that allowed transfer of data from Generations on 3DS.

Since this wasn't in this thread:
1) Leave the "Monster Hunter for PS4" speculation out of this thread. It's mostly harmless, but it gets folks riled up about the idea of port-begging.
If you want to ask or talk about it, make another thread. Huzzah.

obviously but it's still an uppercut where he jumps in the air. They can improve the detail of animations in MH but when a Rathalos roars or spits a fireball it's going to do it the same way it always has. I don't think that's a bad thing.
What I'd like them to do is iron out some of the jank in the way monsters move. Instead of robotic quarter turns, more things like the new turn animations Tigrex got in 3rd gen.
I feel like they don't have a choice. MH is keeping Capcom alive. They have to release it on a platform with a huge installed userbase.

They should make it only new monsters in the low ranking, giving the main game a consistent visual presentation, but then throw old monsters with old animations for high ranking and up. Most people who can get to that point won't be put off by the animations after playing so much anyway.

I've been saying that since forever. But people keep citing a 4chan rumor.

Wow, the textures got a huge boost, they look pretty damn clean.
Exactly what I wanted.

I honestly don't blame them was the Switch direct not entirely leaked on there? Or was that E3...

Is there a story in these games? Guilds? What's the Purpose besides killing shit? How good is multiplayer?
I'm interested but not convinced.

There is kind of a story in other versions but the purpose of the game is kill monsters-skin them to make better weapons and armor- kill better monsters- rinse and repeat.

Barely, no, crafting bigger weapons to kill more shit, it's good.
Yeah. I don't think Capcom wants to drop 3ds support just yet. It's cheaper to make, and there's huge fan base.
That was entirely different situation though.
Do quests to kill stuff gather resources from their corpses and turn it into armor and weapons that make you better at killing stuff
Its pretty fun to hunt monsters with friends
It was the January event, though it was a matter of a worker at the event leaking out stuff that had demo stations. Stuff that wasn't demoed and only was show off in trailers didn't get leaked by the 4chan thing.
SMT and FE Warriors did sort of get leaked elsewhere, though.
There is but the story mode got a significant downgrade in comparison to MH4/U. MHX/XX presentation is trash in general. Grinding is the purpose, MP is super fun but the system was pretty bad on 3DS. Switch should be better given the bigger screen estate and everything.
The story of every Monster Hunter game since the first:
>create hunter, arrive in town
"Yo, our shit is getting fucked up by the monster that's on the cover, so be a bro and help us out."
>complete enough quests to face off and defeat said monster on the cover art
"Hey, it turns out that there's actually a even bigger monster fucking our shit up, so be an even bigger bro and help us out."
>complete enough quests to face off and defeat said bigger monster
"...seriously, you really don't want to play multiplayer? Fine, here's some bonus quests that you can do."
>complete bonus quests
"PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE ALREADY, GOD"
MH4 is kind of a bit more involved than that, but that's the general thrust. The only game that this doesn't apply to is MH3U in the west, and that's only because they put Azure Rathalos on the cover instead of Lagiacrus.
Yes. No. Nothing. It makes the game way too easy.
It's never anything super involved, usually some variation on "work your way through the ranks, building your reputation and skill while helping people out". 4U had more of an actual plot with a consistent supporting cast that filled the vendor roles and had you traveling to new areas in a caravan with the stated goal of uncovering the mystery behind a strange monster scale and contending with a virus that was driving monsters crazy.
I feel like attributing leaks to 4chan is like saying "the internet". Its not a blog or website with journalists who have proven to have a track record, its just a site literally anyone can post on. Info coming from 4chan cannot be valid or invalid just because its coming from 4chan, its just as credible as a youtube comment

The Switch reveal leak was basically some of the games having a demo for the journalists (ARMS, 1-2-Switch, USF2, etc). Not all of it, or anything like a proper leak. Just someone setting up stands for an event in EU.
4chan definitely has proper leaks from time to time (Project Beast/Bloodborne, DSi, AC Empire/Origin, etc) but people seem to forget that those aren't the same people posting those, and that there's tons of fake rumors/leaks posted every week.
It's like saying "look at the neogaf leaks!" and posting Verendus' wishlist and 10k's early NX "leaks". There's obviously some right ones, but there's also a lot of fake ones. Can't really put the credibility of one forum through some posters.
What are you talking about? 4Chan is a notorious hacker.

That's pretty impressive IMO.
Hope for a localization

MH4U had a decent story, pretty much the first game in the series to even try. All MH games have a pretty rudimentary story premise, mainly a powerful monster is threatening a region and you have to hunt it. But in this case the main monster had a particularly nasty ability and there was a lot of buildup around its appearance and life cycle. The supporting cast were very memorable as well thanks in part to 8-4's great localization. If you want an MH with a story I'd say play that one.
Generations' story was functional at best and unless the new content is very different, this will be as well.
But yeah, the games overarching storylines will always be based around the guild hunting monsters that present a particular kind of threat. A huge sand dragon bearing down on a desert city, an elder dragon that eats gunpowder and raids human settlements, shit like that. The setting is interesting but it's mostly just small conflicts with monsters that are a window into a wider world, so to speak.
In the end the purpose is to kill monsters and make hats out of them in order to kill bigger monsters. It's fun because the gameplay is good, not just because it's a loot game. Multiplayer is the big draw for a lot of people but some of us like going solo as well as the game's combat takes on a 'punch-out' like flow. It's just really good boss fights: the game.
It's always amazing to see CAPCOM doesn't give a shit. Parts of the HUD are pixelated on the 1080p Switch port of Monster Hunter XX, whereas they managed to create a proper high resolution 1080p HUD on Wii U in 2012.
MHXX Switch 1080p:
MH3U Wii U 1080p:
You're right but it almost looks like the pixelated look was intended though.
Perhaps. Looks a bit like a throwback to the PSP/MH4 style UI. Looks good to me though. Nice and crisp.
I think it wouldn't look so crisp(considering the youtube compression) if they were just using an enlarged 3DS UI.
This is killer material right there, also the ad is great at explaining the Switch. Now Nintendo only has to get 10 million Switch out to Japan by the time the game launches ^^
True but you never saw a PS2 game running at 1080p and 60FPS. -And it's a blessing compared to the 240p 3DS version...

Ok! Thanks for all the replies. I'll follow this game as the info starts flowing. I'm afraid of the effect BloodBorn had on me where Playing BloodBorne by myself was okay, boring, and somewhat easy but playing with someone else was fun for me but couldn't find people to play with.
Is it not probably redone for the 720p Switch screen and then stretched for the 1080p output?

No. It'd look significantly less pixelated if that were the case (and a little blurrier). It seems they intentionally created a crisp, pixelated look.
