Is it confirmed that the scan supposedly confirming all this isn't fake then, or is jumping the gun still the order of business?

You have to wait 5pm which it is 10mins for confirm if it is one they're talking about.
But it look like. So that we will get more info about MHF 360.

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?

What makes you think it's going to be released outside of Japan? :)

Not very exciting as far as megatons go, but once people get some sleep, I think people should accept 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?

Yeah, 2chan said something about it being multiplatform, but I'm not sure if they said it was a timed exclusive or not.

Tri is state of the art mh gameplay. frontier's foundation is an older build and no amount of polish will change that. You need to ask yourself whether you want to play an MMO or a console game though.

You are right, but I doubt MS would work an exclusive for Japan only.

Wait, aren't all MH games MMOs? Can somebody describe the game? All I have seen are videos of people battling huge monsters, which looks cool, but I don't know if there are towns, item shops, or other activities to perform besides fighting the monsters.

Tri is almost a generational leap ahead of Frontier.

Uh, lol. No. Higher res won't hide the far more basic geometry, detailing and texture work. Sorry. Better visuals > less jaggies. MHF is PSP in HD.

Played MHFU on PSP and the screens of MHFO are clearly almost the same level of visuals, in HD. It's the same levels, the same environments for a lot of it even. Tri on the other hand has much more complex, smoother looking geometry pretty much everywhere you go. The animations are also quite improved, as is the AI (going by what CAPCOM has said, I imagine that's noticed after extra playing time). Even the lighting is nicer in Tri. No real shadowing yet, but at least it's soft and bloomy.

Embargo up in 5 mins. Then we'll see.
I remember a few weeks back when Wii fans were saying NMH didn't look that impressive on 360 too, from a bunch of shitty scans.

It is an action game with a vast multi-player component. It has a single player mode that you are able to "finish" but it is mission (quest) based in nature and the point is to hunt/carve different types of monsters in order to create new gear/weapons. It is bursting at the seams with little bits of hidden information, items and content. To answer your question, you start in a village where you have access to shops, farms, your home(complete with a restaurant where your cat helpers cook you meals to give you boosts in battle,) a training school, and the mission initiator.

How is it FFXI all over again? There isn't a console version of MHF available yet.
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.
Click to expand...
MHF and MHTri are no different as far as how online play goes, AFAIK. It's not really an MMO -- you still only adventure out in groups of four.

But MHF is constantly getting updated (aren't they up to like, season 7 or 8 now?) -- this is definitely not an "old" game getting thrown to consoles. If you're an MH fan, this is definitely worth getting excited for IMO.

I'm talking about home systems. At the beginning of the generation, Monster Hunter 3 was a PS3 game. Now it's the only system without a Monster Hunter. :lol

Unbelievable.

It sounds good enough. I will try Monster Hunter Tri first though since its already coming to America.

Yeah, that's mainly what I meant. MHF is patched every quarter, with several new monsters and a couple of new areas added over the years. It's organic, with balancing, new weapons, etc.

woah hold the fuck up here!!!!!!

really?!!?!??!

Its be a stupid move if it is exclusive to 360 look at Tales of Vesperia
Click to expand...

it would be stupid to move an online heavy game to the strongest online console which is also the easiest to port PC software to?

... reallly!?

seriously, the amount of shite being spoken about this announcement is at an all time hight, and the crux of it is scared little fanboys.

pissing pants up 15594% today, wii fans at the cusp.

I've played all except for Frontier. I've always wanted to play Frontier though. Visually it's a high res PS2 game. But I remember they released some kind of enhanced graphics mode later as a patch.

Originally when I was upset about MH3 being released for Wii instead of HD consoles. I though there was no way the Wii version could even match the PC Frontier game. But having played MH3 quite a bit I'm quite certain MH3 is a pretty good bit more advanced than Frontier in graphics and animation. Except in resolution of course.

As far as online is concerned Frontier is not too different MH3. You have lobby areas that can have a larger number of people. But the hunt missions themselves are limited to 4 players. So it is still not really a MMO.

I do love Monster Hunter a lot so I would be tempted to get this one as well even if it was pay-to-play.

._.

Wrong example, Namco made a fuckton of money from all the deals, the porting sales and the DLC, the only one getting screwed out of that were western PS3 owners.

Also, sad thing about MHF is that I would have to pay and I cannot play together with PC users, otherwise It'd be pretty good for me.
