Capcom's not going to ditch the switch anytime soon every single rumour states the opposite. It's their bread and butter and would affect Capcom a lot more than it'd effect Nintendo and they know this.
Oregano was doing so well in the past few weeks. Or maybe it's just that he really can't stay in the middle. It's one extreme or another
Do I need to remind to everyone how the rumour still states there will be "main" (Portable) MH games on Switch anyway?
Sure, like Monter Hunter Stories proved.because it has the Monster Hunter brand name, the game could use the MH brand name to sell games in Japan
Only the initial 4Chan rumour said that, nothing else has.
Most people aren't basing it on that rumour specifically.
Also I have faith in Nintendo's first party, but not third party. That's entirely consistent.
The better point is that Capcom also said Switch was going to be part of their multiplatform strategy and that's looking like bullshit right now.
Every we have is based on that initial 4chan rumour. It's all the same source and the only one with any sort of validity in terms of stake and result.Only the initial 4Chan rumour said that, nothing else has.

What possible purpose would they have in MH XX Switch 5 months into the Switch's life other than building a userbase for the franchise? A swan song?
Not that I agree with him but WiiU got MH3U:HD and it basically was a swan song.
Ps4 already has a mh Swansong by this measure an actual one. It'a called frontier. No platform that has had that game released on had a mainline game released afterwards.Not that I agree with him but WiiU got MH3U:HD and it basically was a swan song.

Without that rumour why on earth would anyone think capcom after releasing xx on the switch would focus all their eggs on a ps4 monster hunter rather than releasing xx on the ps4.
Yes, and Wii U was dead in the water worldwide 3 months after launching. It also wasn't a portable in Japan.
Ps4 already has a mh Swansong by this measure an actual one. It'a called frontier. No platform that has had that game released on had a mainline game released afterwards.
If that game and Wii U sold better there's no doubt there'd have been MH4U/G HD. Capcom didn't know the Wii U was a flop when they did 3U HD, it was a launch game in Japan and came out 3-4 months after in NA.
We already know Switch ain't in the same place.
That's not even an excuse, MH is literally the only franchise they'be been savy with. I struggle to believe their that stupid when they'be already indicated they plan to support the platform with mh releases.They might not skip Switch but MHXX is an easy way to cash in on Switch's popularity and Nintendo might have pushed for it as they're struggling to get a third party lineup together.
That's Capcpom for you.

This is literally all based on hypertheticals you've made up.
If you remove all rumours and statements that may or may not be misconstrued are capcom's actions those of one that plan to completely drop the platform? A launch window port of the latest iteration?
The better point is that Capcom also said Switch was going to be part of their multiplatform strategy and that's looking like bullshit right now.
Based on what?
i was referring to e3
ive said before ps4 will get a late port at most but that isn't the same as an exclusive ps4 version
That's assuming the game is ps4 exclusive with no further support of the platform down the line which is a hypothetical not even the rumours indicate and there's no thorough enough rumour to even base the ps4 exclusive with no switch port or future mh game.Not that I made up and no MHXX would indicate plans to support Switch but then going two weeks later and announcing the next game in the franchise not for Switch would more than compensate for that.

That is entirely an interpretation you personally came up with not based on anything tangible.
Something people have to careful of otherwise you end up with the sf2 test interpretation which wsn't what capcom meant at all. Always have keeps these interpretations open and not too specific.
Even if you take the 4Chan rumour at face value then any potential MH5P wouldn't be announced for at least another year or two, in which case the damage will be done.

What damage. Do you honestly think third parties that were considering to support the switch now would stop because of an exclusive ps4 version? That doesn't even make sense. Third parties would want to sell games on the switch because because there's potential customers there. No mh also means less competition for other hunting action games. It's not as if Japan preference for mobile consoles will suddenly stop being a thing because of a mh on the ps4.Even if you take the 4Chan rumour at face value then any potential MH5P wouldn't be announced for at least another year or two, in which case the damage will be done.
for a week or two you were acting somewhat normal. now its back to hyperventilating I see.
If the 4Chan rumor was true it would seem like they would announce the two within a very short time period of each other for damage control.
u mean you\re backing out from a ps4 exclusive mh and settling for multiplatform mh?I see you've moved from the existence of a PS4 MH to when a PS4 MH will be announced. Sorry but timing was never the controversial subject in these threads: it was the mere existence of a PS4 MH.
So here's the bet;
There will be a PS4 MH that will not be a port of a pre-existing MH SKU
Note the word pre. 3 month avatar bet.
I don't see how it's ridiculous to suggest that a new mainline entry in the only remaining big Nintendo-focused third party IP skipping Switch wouldn't be a massive blow. It would be seen as a vote of no confidence more than a port of MHXX was seen as a vote of confidence.
.
And did tri kill third party support on the psp?I don't see how it's ridiculous to suggest that a new mainline entry in the only remaining big Nintendo-focused third party IP skipping Switch wouldn't be a massive blow. It would be seen as a vote of no confidence more than a port of MHXX was seen as a vote of confidence.
Nah Tri and Portable 3rd were announced more than a year apart.
Well right now they have no multiplatform games for Switch. Unless they meant MHXX being 3DS/Switch multiplatform... lol
I'm asking you honestly- what do you think the purpose of the XX port is? For shits and giggles? Or do you honestly believe Capcom is going to permanently leave the portable space and literally just give away money?
And did tri kill third party support on the psp?
Even ignoring that why would capcom. Announce it now if they cared that much. This would also kill the switch version of xx's sales.
Conventional wisdom would indicate it's to set the table for MH5 on Switch but conventional wisdom would also say you don't turn around and announce the next big game in the franchise for a competitor two weeks later.
My opinion is that a multiplatform PS4/Switch with no extreme formula change would be the safest route and perhaps most in character for modern, risk averse Capcom.
PSP was in an entirely different place. It was a well established platform and had a plethora of big third parties games both released and announced for the future.
There's a reason MHXX made Nintendo's stock value rise.
Future Monster Hunter completely skipping Switch would raise serious questions about Nintendo's relevance to third parties. It would be a massive blow so I could definitely see Sony pushing for it.
Yes and that's because a game was announced indicating future support and the fan base moving over. Nothing has changed. You've simply gone off on another disgaea 5 tangent where the switch not recieving a single version of a third party games means all support is dead.
Nintendo seems set to have a pokemon on the switch this year do you honestly think shareholders give a crap that it's not getting a version of mh. A franchise that is already supporting the system and where the franchise will be most popular on in Japan? Your argument really doesn't make a by sense.
BTW there was another leak recently in regards of MH PS4
http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/379109654/monster-hunter-ps4
u mean you\re backing out from a ps4 exclusive mh and settling for multiplatform mh?
i said from the start that there would be a late ps4 port at most
the reason i said e3 is because that way we can settle the bet, otherwise u have until the end of the world before u admit defeat
Wow, didn't expect some here to be banned.
Wonder what the Pokemon Direct will be about tomorrow. Stars seems logical at least now.
People get banned regularly, even frequenters of these threads. The real time to worry will be when Nirolak bans Duckroll, that will be his coup and he will then proceed to take over the world!
*pinky and the brain music begins playing*
who has been banned?
the fact that you think an exclusive ps4 mh is even a possibility says alotNice try but I never entertained the thought that a PS4 exclusive MH was the only possibility. A PS4 MH is all I've been saying since the beginning: multiplat or exclusive.
So take the bet then
the fact that you think an exclusive ps4 mh is even a possibility says alot
u mean u take the bet? ive been waiting for u to accept it lol
tell me by when will this happen so we can settle it, like i said, otherwise we'll wait forever
I was just saying, Capcom porting XX doesn't actually inspire much confidence in me that they have Switch support planned. At least from the on set. I think the Switch and Cross' success caught them off guard.
The problem here is what we expect out of the next MH. We have three options:
1. A full HD next-gen MH that is heavily westernized like the 4chan rumor suggested.
2. A full HD next-gen traditional MH.
3. Not full HD next-gen MH.
The first one is out because it's stupid. MH is a Japan centered franchise and there is no way Capcom's gonna ditch the biggest market to pursuit a western success that may or may not be there.
The second one is unlikely. Think about how much texture Capcom need to create for all those monsters in full HD in a semi-open-world with various environments. Keep in mind this is the company that is so short of cash that they released their most revered title, SFV, unfinished, even with the help of Sony. Also take note how they made REVII a much cheaper game by making it a first person horror game rather than a full-fledged 3rd person action RE game with multiplayer. Now I won't say it's impossible, if only because Capcom is not known for sound decision making; but I will say it's better to not have any expectation for high-budget AAA game when it comes to Capcom. (DMCV is still a possibility only because Platinum have proved that these games are not too expensive to make).
The 3rd one is the most probable option here, and it has Switch written all over its face. A PS4 up-port is also likely.
Switch is HD though.
But no 3D game is 1080p in handheld mode!!!
Or is there
Back to that Monster Hunter shithole I see though
Switch screen is 720p so indeed no. In any case it's still a big jump from 240p to 720p in terms of asset making.
The same reason everything they release fails to hit expectations.So I've got to ask, why does Capcom seem to keep rereleasing old NES/SNES games on everything BUT nintendo platforms? After the whole Disney Afternoon Collection deal, now MMLegacy collection 2 only hits PS4/XB1/PC. It just seems weird to me after Capcom expected an up-port of SF2 to sell well on Switch. By that notion, Switch is a good place to also release your super old games like those collections...
