Nice, didn't realize we'd gotten more info on the different modes. I may import the MHW Pro if it doesnt, and most likely won't, come to the US.

That's pretty good. This is the holy trinity I wish more Pro updates would have. Everyone is satisfied. I, personally, will stick to the 4K mode.
Interesting. Glad the options are there.
1X is going to be a damn stunning game to be sure! Puffbat will look delicious.
What has been confirmed so far was that it wouldn't run at 60fps on neither Ps4 Pro nor XBX. And that came from some official Capcom Marketing/PR dude on twitter in the aftermath of the MH:W reveal. What you are referring to is probably the selection / option on PS4 Pro that popped up. If I recall correctly, this has been described as "what the game focuses on under stress" or something to that effect. The one preview I've read the reviewer inexplicably chose "resolution", because of course you'd choose that (sigh.). I thought that this would mean that under a condition where lots is happening on screen, what area of the game wouldn't be compromised: The 4K resolution (think dynamic resolution scaling, checkerboarding...), the graphical fidelity (think dynamically shifting detail settings, like in the Forza Apex / Horizon 3 on PC), or the framerate (that is, framepacing and staying locked at 30fps - as opposed to dropping below 30fps).
Wouldn't there have been a lot more buzz if this was 60fps on PS4 Pro? I mean, I'd buy a PS4 Pro and MH on it instead of waiting for the PC version.
"better frame rate" does not necessarily mean 60fps. It also could (and I think it likely does) mean "a stable 30fps lock at all times, no dips."
Every single MHW thread, it's a tradition. Not even a dedicated thread on that would suffice, at least it's not as bad as before though.

The fuck are you talking about? Requesting links for ALL of this.
Some Gamescom videos on YouTube are being played at frame rates above 30fps, so no. It's not locked to 30. Whether it remains 60fps all the time is probably unlikely but the option is there.

If it's base PS4 quality, it theoretically should be able to do well. We've seen recent games do well with their 60 FPS modes eg The Surge, Hellblade etc.

Thank you ;__;
It could end up similar to FFXV, where the 'lite/performance/frame rate' option is basically unlocked 40~50fps. It's not 60, but feels marginally smoother than 30.

Hope it doesn't get delayed. January is the perfect month for this.
Here you go:
http://www.pcgamer.com/monster-hunter-world-is-targeting-30-fps-on-consoles-but-not-necessarily-on-pc/
Socks ("EMEA/ANZ @Capcom_UK Community Manager for: @monsterhunter") says 30fps on XBX / PS4 Pro, the question he was answering specifically included those.

The bit with the "we chose resolution" came from the gamescom Gamersyde video description, which I read first here on the forum but now have found the source to. It doesn't say "under stress" there (I did qualify that statement with "if I recall correctly"...), but they it mentions "favoring" one of the three options: "but when asked what we wanted to favor in the game, we chose resolution (framerate and graphics are the 2 other options).", which I understood as "what it favors under stress".

Of course. The farm is a necessary feature for MH.
Physical farm > vendor style bs farm.

Yes, I remember those tweets AND that gamersyde article. The tweet doesn't mention anything about the boosted mode on pro. Of course they're aiming for stable 30 without the boosts.
And the gamersyde article says nothing about your ridiculous claim that the pro mode options are for how the game should act under stress. That was the part I wanted the receipts for the most.
That's a really odd way to interpret that given the OTHER games on pro that have offered modes that let you pick what to "favor", and those options didn't just mean "what it favors under stress."
Go look at the pro options on Nioh.

Will the Pro go up on amazon JP or is it only from the Sony online store?

Really cool its coming so soon, and it looks like they showed off a few new monsters in the new trailer too.
Are we getting a special edition of the game for the bone?

Damn the PS4 Pro looks so good. I really hope it comes to the states!

Doubt the CE in the OP is PS4 exclusive, obviously no special Xbox One though.
If it does come stateside, I'm getting it as I'm still rocking the launch PS4.

The LE PS4 Pro looks so good. And I just bought a Pro a few weeks ago. But who am I kidding? If this comes to the U.S. I will absolutely be getting the special edition.

So there are two monster hunter ps4 games coming?
Do you mean Stories? Otherwise its just Monster Hunter World
Are you talking about MH Frontier?

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Yes in the West no in Japan (PS4 exclusive) when? Who knows no release date yet but expect the usual 1-6 months after the Console versions release.
Because we were all expecting a March release date since that's when Monster Hunter games in the West usually release.

Up to 60fps? This is gonna be baller
Actually, the consensus was it releasing in March, so this does come as an unexpected surprise.
I am curious to see what it's up against in February, though, since it only has a few days of sales in January.

It's a shame the standard edition in the U.S. and Europe will be getting the Rathalos boxart. I'd much rather have the new flagship.
Reversible would be nice, but I can see why they're going with Rathalos. This'll be the first Rathalos for many.

Best weapon in the front row. Japan has good taste.
What is that "Product Code Card" In the CE? Is that a digital code for the game, or something else like registering the game online? Waiting for Best Buy to get it up to pre-order, but I'd like to have this game Digital. This CE is coming to the West right? And for X1 I would hope.
