FUCK that is sexy.
Yeah, I think Nintendo was needed to get the boost the Franchise needed, but I'm fine with them trying new areas.
Due to my Switch Love though, I'm only going to buy the franchise on that though as I think it suits me more on there. I got enough other games anyway.
Unless a demo on Xbox One can persuade me...or me seeing it at EGX in 2 days.
Japan won't be getting PC Monster Hunter World, it's quite literally exclusive to PS4 there.
As an English-speaking PC gamer who lives in Asia, this could be... horrible news(I've only just found out about this). I hope I could at least import it to play... Don't know if I want to pay for a PS4 Pro + monthly for one game.

You mean they wont get the PC version with Japanese Language option?
I dunno... I would hope they offer multi language for PC so everyone in the world has access
Hell im prob going to triple dip as i think i might get it on PC as well.
Nothing about that yet. But I have my doubts that they'll give us G rank in the base game right away. If they are planning to do a G/Ultimate version 12-18 months after the initial release I hope they'll also make the expansion available as an optional DLC for $15~25/15~25/¥1500~2500 so that we don't have to pay (almost?) full price again.
The best selling monster hunter game was on PSP. This revisionist history by nintendo fans is baffling. Anyway, I'm glad it's multiplatform now and hope it stays that way.

Why did sales talk/betrayalaton shit come up?

My god that looked amazing.
It's only ever been "at a later date", but other games from Capcom have taken several months to release their PC versions when it was delayed.
You're making his argument for him, its the best selling despite not having a global release.
The game has made huge strides in various areas due to not being tied to handheld hardware.

Holy shit,day one
I meant they made no mention of any other version but PS4 in Japan(or the Hong Kong's site).
Top is from its official site in Japan and bottom from US.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
DAMN. That's a good looking Pro. I wouldn't mind trading my vanilla black-only Pro for this.
Top selling game in Europe was still on PSP lol. Only in NA did 3DS get a bump, but it was a modest bump that didn't overcome the losses the series took from PSP->3DS in Japan.
edit: and weren't you one of the ones in the original thread shitting on MHW, claiming it was a spinoff etc?

I agree with you. Just saying that's one of the reasons, same as GTAV and other games.
Capcom said it'll be later in 2018 and we would know if it was 1 month later. More than that = months.
Isn't the best selling game worldwide 4U?
P3rd is obviously the best selling one in japan though, unless you add 4 and 4U numbers together for some reason...
In the west, it has never sold as much as on Nintendo platforms, and will very likely be beaten by World thanks to being on 3 different platforms.
Nope
Sounds like you can also wait and get it as DLC later.
So, sounds like they're monetizing extra gestures and cosmetic armors? Has the XX transmog system been confirmed or is it different in MHW? Sounds almost like cosmetic armors are a separate slot that just cover your actual armor visually.

System isn't region locked, so importing would work, right? >.>

I'm still not 100% sold on it without a demo. Lots of changes, and with current capcom stil behaving like Capcpom I'm still going to need a demo to make final judgement.
Also lol at Europe sales back then, the brand made enormous strides in the west starting with Tri and even more so with the 3DS releases, maybe it will continue to grow or maybe this new gen will fail fucking miserably (compared to both PSP & 3DS offerings) being tied to consoles again. Only time will tell.

Yeah, I think you should be fine, though I'm not 100% sure if there's a hard lock on the Circle/X difference in Japan, so you might want to check that out if you're not the type to mess around with the accessibility options.
Nothing like The Witcher. The only thing it has in common with Dark Souls is that the combat is similar in that every weapon has unique wind-up animations rather than 1:1 button presses.
Other than that though, it's nothing like either of those games. Past Monster Hunters were mission based: you'd have a map instance you'd load into with the mission of taking down a specific monster. You'd hunt down the monster and fight it within a specific time limit. Then you have a main base area in between missions where you craft new gear from your spoils and prepare for the next mission. It's more like... Destiny?

Man we can't even get a PC date in a pressed or something? Delaying h PC version is already a bad idea

Im just saying that with PC access to games isnt limited by region per se right?
Unlock they IP block servers I feel like you could play the PC version anywhere in the world as long as your language is supported
Closest comparison is Dark Souls but it's still way different. Even the monster hunter clones don't feel like monster hunter. It feels clunky at first but once it clicks, it just feels like Monster Hunter is on another level compared to other games -- hard to describe.
PS4 is region free too (not sure about xbox) but not releasing natively in your region means probably lacking language support and also being really hard to find others to play with without awful latency.
never said psp games sold best in west -- only that the bump in the west was modest and didn't offset the losses in japan.

Ah my bad, just checked it.
But unlike what you've said (no source there), the psp games sold less in the west than the 3ds ones.
Yup! Might just need an AC adapter.

Agreed for the CE lol.
For the PS4 Pro, the 1080p improvements are really good. A lot more than the fake 4k they're pushing.
Shame that MHW will be locked to 30fps though...

If I import that console I can just set it up like a regular American one right?
Go easy on me I don't import much

yeah all Sony consoles have been region free
Outside of the swapping of X/O you should encounter no issues
Huh? There's a 60fps option.

Much appreciated
It was in the Gamescom demo. Resolution (4K), Graphics (1080p with better shadows and draw distance) and Frame Rate (up to 60fps).
There's some footage of it on YouTube and it looks like it hits 60 frames.

Well now you can't play it. I'll send you a postcard explaining how good it was

Well that's some news I missed considering all the questions about it had PR saying it'll be 30fps.
