Yes, but no Switch owners expect their games look as good as those on PS4, and I'm sure Capcom will take advantage of it, if they haven't already.
Maybe a little better than Vita, but no FFXV or Horizon that's for sure.

Well, sure, but it's not like you can't make great looking ambitious games on the Switch, or any hardware really. Like, what about the Switch would prevent them from making an ambitious Monster Hunter game? May not look like Horizon but should look pretty respectable overall, certainly better than what they can pull off last gen or the Vita
Not to mention, these days, most people tend to play games that range from very ambitious (AAA) to not so ambitious (Indie), relatively speaking. I don't think Capcom would have to go out of their way to make a Horizon-looking Monster Hunter for the PS4 either
Not saying it won't be ambitious, but it sure won't take the same amount of budget. Breath of the Wild is a great looking ambitious game. I'd guess it has a smaller budget than most AAA games on the market.
If Capcom don't want to make something like Horizon, Switch is obviously their best choice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember a single $60 game on PS4 that sells multi-million without great graphic. The best of them (Bloodborne, P5) sit between 1 and 2 million. If Capcom really want to expend the western market, 1-2 million is not enough because they've already achieved that with MH4.

Oh of course it won't and Breath of the Wild's budget was most definitely smaller than most AAA games, seeing as it only needed to sell over 2 million to be profitable. It's just that, in this day and age, I think people will play just about anything so as long as the game looks fun and enjoyable and/or it's a franchise they love and so Capcom wouldn't feel a greater need to make something super ambitious with the PS4 than they would with the Switch, save for visuals. I mean, even something niche and comparatively less impressive than stuff like Uncharted 4 like Persona 5 and Nier Automata found some success (Thankfully!) on the same system
So it's just the 3rd option: a traditional MH game with smaller budget than AAA game on Swtich, also ported to PS4. The majority of the sales will be from Japan, on Switch in particular. Or are you suggesting that such a game might be a PS4 exclusive?

Obviously that's a troll.
There was however a supposed Ntkrnl leak mentioning MH5 for PS4/XB1/PC being announced at the Sony conference. That one was more interesting because, apparently, MS made a Capcom 3 deal back in 2011/12, back when they cared about Japan, and one of the 3 was to get in on multiplatform MH.
Oooh. Got a link?

Not impossible and wouldn't shock me. It would be a risk-averse way of making a PS4 exclusive Monster Hunter that still looks good and appeals to Monster Hunter fans. It's not like people avoided, say, Persona 5 because it was a port of an unimpressive PS3 game or a game looking like Nier Automata or Bloodborne and, for those of whom who are really into Monster Hunter, a game not looking like Final Fantasy XV wouldn't turn them off from playing it
Albeit, personally, if it does and up being a PS4 exclusive and Sony funds it, it probably would look impressive. Otherwise, I can see it looking decent but not amazing, on a technical level
lol
so whats the deadline then? tgs? end of the year?
gimme a date and we'll consider it officially on

You know that the MH rumors will continue until TGS. And then until next year. Etc.
A tale of leaks and salt, eternally retold.

I've been lurking in the sales gallows for many years now....
The truth of the matter is that the winds of change are coming, and we are truly not prepared for the storm the switch is about to cause

Considering we just see that DQ11 first planned as PS4 exclusive, i cant see anything is impossible nowadays no matter how insane the plan is lol.
And we are talking about Capcom right now lol who is not the epitome of doing smart business moves lol.
There is no such thing lol. Other third party won't based their moves in the future based on incompetence by Capcom. They will always do what bring them the most muney lol. Just like Disgaea Switch performance will not effect other third party plans.

A dozen
Crash on August 3rd.
FFXII, then Gundam Versus, then Dragon Quest XI, then Crash, then Dragon Quest X and Everybody's Golf.
Pretty good line up, though I wouldn't expect too much for Crash.
That price too, its just 100 yen more expensive than the Seiken Collection on Switch.
3 ground up remakes of PlayStation games + 100 yen = 3 ROMs.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
haha, I didnt expect you guys to still be talking about MH5
If only they sell TPC to Ccapcom
Pokemon Stars having 2 version sounds more logical.

Yeah, the switch has def changed the course of console history.

Yes I'm keeping my futile degenerate port begging locked deep in my heart
Would rather avoid MH discussion there lol. Question to Vinnk here.
Considering Switch is high in demand right now in japan, how does it affect the game style of younger players in Japan who grow up with mobile game?
As, i remember hearing from some of my mobile gamer friend saying that they dont have enough time to play traditional game as the stamina is filling up.

From my observations the kids in Japan (or at least my area of it) are not growing up with mobile games as much as kids in say the US. Most Japanese kids do not get their first mobile phone until High School. A lot play on their parents phones when they can borrow them but it is likely not their own account on the telephone. For example, I very rarely saw kids walking around alone playing Pokemon GO. It was usually their mom or dad's phone and the parent was usually in tow.
3DS is still a thing here and I see young kids with that device far more than phones. Can't go to any park without seeing a gaggle of kids engrossed in their duel screens. What has changed is I used to see HS kids and even adults with DS or PSPs all the time and that audience has mostly switched over to phones (the only exception is Monster Hunter fans and I occasionally see a HS kid playing Vita Minecraft).
Nintendo is doing pretty good with the gamer young adults. When Nintendo gets the price down, it will have no problem attracting the causal younger kids. It's the casual older kids and casual young adults that will be the harder sell in my opinion.
If they wanna turn Pokémon into the next Yōkai Watch, sure.
As far as fanboys GAF is dominated from SDF and it's not unexpected since it's a western forum and Japan was the only place Nintendo was relevant last generation, you shouldn't be surprised. They are just more annoying in Media Create threads because of PS4 situation.
Self Defense Force?
Sony.
Ah
It is interesting info with ur experience there especially on the part where kids still dont have their personal smartphones till HS and how HS period changed them into more mobile phone players.( the biggest reason probably is because playing smaphone game is less nerdy to the mass rather than playing dedicated gaming.)
In contrast, in SEA. Young child nowadays grow with tablet or smaphone more compared to traditional gaming. Kids would eat with tablet playing some movies or games in front of their face.
In a way, it end up forming kids who are more used to touch control than us who are used to traditional gaming control.
Tx for the info there Vinnk.^○^

You're one to talk, using platform warrior acronyms.
He does it for everyone, so its not like he's picking a side here and there's an obvious bias from every side.
imo, I'd say Nintendo fanboys are close in number in Sony ones.
There just hasn't been jack for them to say in recent years.
someone got triggered
Wow imagine how more powerful the DS is compared to ps4 pro in terms of graphics then, right?

Meh. Preferring one console is fine. Cheering on for the performance of certain games is fine. Talking about the same topic over and over again with little to no change in actual content, no matter what side you're on, is quite annoying. The whole MH5 speculation won't end until MH5 is actually announced for w/e platforms it's on, but until then I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. The funny thing is I'm pretty sure a lot of the folks speculating about it don't actually play the series, they just think it'll have certain ramifications sales-wise. Honestly at this point I'd rather Capcom pull a DQ11 and just release it for all the relevant platforms so that this conversation will stop xD.
Interesting stuff Vinnk. Kids only really getting phones in HS gives at least some leeway in selling dedicated devices in Japan I hope...

Gonna be interesting to see how the Pokémon Direct goes tomorrow.
Admittedly, it would be fairly disappointing if Switch isn't mentioned at all. I think a Stars 3DS/Switch release is likely, but at the same time I know how TPC likes to operate. B2/W2 released on the DS even after the 3DS released. Although this time the Switch isn't BC with the 3DS so that changes the game a bit.
I really just hope it isn't 3DS exclusive at this point. I won't be shocked if it is, but it would be a missed opportunity if that's the case.

I can't lie, out of all of the Pokemon generations, the prospect of Diamond/Pearl remakes excites me the least. Aside from them being the next logical step, have they been hinted at in any way? Inside or outside the game.
