That is entirely up to you. Most people aren't that interested, but if you like MMOs and/or Monster Hunter, then this is the revelation of all revelations.

But what's the point in getting this if there's Monster Hunter 3, which seems to be the better game? The MMO part?

None of this shit means anything without important details. Where are they? What's different from the PC version it's segregated away from and when or can we expect a release period in NA and Europe? Other stuff, too...where's the other stuff beyond dates for various titles in Japan? Stupid embargoes.

It's a significant announcement BECAUSE 360 is a flop in Japan. Also with regards to your FF7 comment, just because YOU don't care about something doesn't automatically make it not a huge announcement. Believe it or not, the world doesn't revolve around you.goldenpp72 said:
It's not a significant announcement, it's FFXI/PSU all over again, yet even more belated in this case. How did those two help the 360 in Japan? Unless MHF is insanely popular to WoW levels there, but somehow I doubt that as the series only took off with the PSP iterations for their local play, not online. If we're talking new console buyer potential from the MH fanbase, what would they be more likely to pick? 360 + MHF + 1400 yen fees, or Wii + MHTri + 800 yen fees?
Or like the MHG port of Wii they released to the build up for 3. That didn't do anything meaningfully good, yeah? Cos it was also an old port.

Rare willing to lend out their IPs to 3rd parties + Rare going back to their old IPs + Niitsuma announcing a new VS. title + Niitsuma wants to cross Capcom's IPs with American/Western companies' IPs + Capcom x Microsoft =

This thread is too confusing, is this really a port of a 4 year old game that was second-rate in the first place? I think reconfirming SSF4 would have been a bigger announcement...

its not huge because it's OLD, seriously, this is going to fail on so many levels. MH3 on wii was a big deal, this isn't.
How is it FFXI all over again? There isn't a console version of MHF available yet.Agnates said:
If anything FFXI on 360 in Europe was a big deal, because it was the first console version of FFXI there. The population had a pretty decent increase because of it too.
That can't possibly be a serious question. MHF is an MMO, MHTri has online multiplayer. There's a massive difference.

It's a pretty serious question. Give a serious answer. MHF runs on any crap PC, and a LOT of the content is the same as Portable 2/2G. Can you make larger hunting parties in MHF? How much larger? Large enough for fans to wanna pay extra? That it's a MMO doesn't mean much if the bulk of the game is similar. And again the online play was never what got the franchise so popular. So, not a big announcement, imo. We will see what splash it makes on release I guess.Jonnyram said:

like a new Strider Game
or Power Stone
I doubt it. Capcom has already started to build a fan base on the Wii and if they continue to release mainline MH on the Wii then there's a chance to grow that fan base (much like what's happened on the PSP). So it doesn't make sense for them to jump ship until the next generation rolls along. That being said, I would love to see a true MT Framework MH, if only to see what the art team could do with the extra horsepower.Tenbatsu said:

Oh I'm all for a new Power Stone, Strider or even Project Justice but they have to make up for DMC5 first.

Holy shit, everybody's out for blood it seems!
Cool announcement, MH is the perfect game for xbl/psn.
Yes, it's a port of an older pc version.
No, that doesn't mean the 360 version won't get extra polish.
Yes, without polish it'll still look better then tri by a landslide.
No, it's not a game changer in the land of the rising sun.
Yes, this could mean that the next MH could land on the HD consoles, concidering that capcom's main engine scales across all platforms.
No, we didn't need an announcement announcement over this capcom

Such an underwhelming announcement people don't even believe it's MHF. :lol

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
If it is MH, I will give it a try. All I've heard are good things. I was going to get Tri though. Is Frontier better than Tri, graphics aside?

Nope. Monster Hunter pretty much looks the same across most platforms, but Tri is clearly near to if not level with Frontier. MH3 is the better game, I intend to get that and pretend this doesnt exist, as ever.
Is it confirmed that the scan supposedly confirming all this isn't fake then, or is jumping the gun still the order of business?

Not very exciting as far as megatons go, but once people forget the hype and get some sleep, I don't think it's too hard to see this as a good thing for Xbox. It's a great series with a strong fanbase, and if they orient the franchise so that the online titles are on PC/PS3/360 while Wii gets main chapters and PSP gets the cream scraped off the Wii games as well as some spin-offs, that's not a bad spread for this kind of franchise.
By the way, there were rumors of MHFO coming to Xbox 360 about two months ago, as well as PS3 rumors of that same Frontier port and then a PSP version of MH Tri. I wonder if Microsoft somehow worked out a timed exclusive for this release?
