Ok? so no MH5?

 

[Kouichi]

XX getting Switch port is probably the least surprising thing ever so that doesn't really add any weight to that rumour tbh

Didn't the leaker also predict the name XX before the 3DS announcement?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Obviously it's Monster Hunter 5

Spoiler

exclusively for smartphones.

Five letters in World
Monster Hunter 5

[CharminUltra]

For iOS and Android

 

[Obliterator]

Monster Hunter is one of those franchises I've always been interested in but never actually really liked playing the few times I've tried getting into it.

If this indeed does end up being the Western focused Monster Hunter I'm damn interested.

 

[Ōkami]

It is a game and its not an MMO and its not for mobile.

Spoiler

Its also going to cause meltdowns, from all sides.

 

[Shin]

I wouldn't mind if it's something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcbjoAl0Rng

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Maybe they didn't want to rename Monster Hunter XX to Monster Hunter GenerationsU and they went with this.

 

[darkside31337]

Ok? so no MH5?

I mean I don't get why folks are getting so hung up on the name. If this was paid for by Sony to be an exclusive they might not actually want a 5 at the end of the name, it creates the impression that folks who didn't play other games in the series missed out.

 

[Jawbreaker]

It's a Monster Hunter spinoff. Almost every console has gotten them. The PS2, PS3 and 360. They've always been different from the main, numbered, entries

Or it's Monster Hunter 5 in everything but name, with a more Western focus. It makes sense to establish a new name/subtitle if they want to introduce the game to new audiences.

 

[Zoon]

I don't see why they'd change the name of the Chinese MMO (Monster Hunter Online). Imo it's the western focused MH. Well, whatever it is I hope it gets revealed at E3 and we don't have to wait more.

 

[KingBroly]

It is a game and its not an MMO and its not for mobile.

Doesn't sound like a good thing

EDIT: You had it in quotes before :\

Oh okay, I was going to mention that the rumour sounded like it was internally developed and not just porting over the Monster Hunter MMO from Tencent.

This will be interesting.

 

[Vital Tundra]

So basically not 5.

 

[Sandfox]

Or it's Monster Hunter 5 in everything but name, with a more Western focus. It makes sense to establish a new name/subtitle if they want to introduce the game to new audiences.

Going by the rumor it will MH in name only.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Or it's Monster Hunter 5 in everything but name, with a more Western focus. It makes more sense to establish a new name/subtitle if they want to introduce the game to new audiences.

Or, it's a console "online" (although the distinction is meaningless now that the main series has online) spinoff like they literally did with Monster Hunter Online, Online Frontier and Frontier G

 

[Kouriozan]

This will be interesting, I kinda want to see a different Monster Hunter.

 

[aadiboy]

Oh okay, I was going to mention that the rumour sounded like it was internally developed and not just porting over the Monster Hunter MMO from Tencent.

This will be interesting.

I kind of doubt it's the mmo since it would totally bomb here.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yep.

You sound certain.

 

[7Th]

So, it's definitely MH5. Poor Switch.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

No idea what it is:

Hunt me if old.

Hype!

 

[Midas]

Yeah. I would buy a Monster Hunter for a current gen console. Just out of interest, I've never played one myself.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Going by the rumor it will MH in name only.

Or it's streamlined in the way Bloodborne is compared to Dark Souls.

Or, it's a console "online" (although the distinction is meaningless now that the main series has online) spinoff like they literally did with Monster Hunter Online, Online Frontier and Frontier G

Or it's what I suggested.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Or it's Monster Hunter 5 in everything but name, with a more Western focus. It makes sense to establish a new name/subtitle if they want to introduce the game to new audiences.

So what happens to your statement when 5 is revealed next year?

 

[Oregano]

Yeah, it was Matrix.

Shoutout to Matrix.

HA, just looked. Mofo knew all along. >:O

 

[sinonobu]

So spin-off for PS4

 

[Eolz]

MH5, perhaps? Or more specifically, MH5 renamed. Either that or it's MHXX's localized name.

It's that westernized Monster Hunters game that some people wanted lol.
Why would they call Generations's expansion World, or rename 5 when 4 was a success?

 

[KZXcellent]

The twist is Monster Hunter World ends up being XX's localized name and everyone has a jolly laugh. I'm probably gonna be in day 1 for every Monster Hunter that hits consoles regardless of what happens.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

So what happens to your statement when 5 is revealed next year?

He's going to be defending it like people were defending Peace Walker being MGS5.
STILL COUNTS!

 

[Blablurn]

Never enjoyed a Monster Hunter game. But i would be in for a game for casuals 🌝.

 

[De_Legend]

Sounds like the PS4/PC/XB1 MH title.

PS4

 

[antonz]

The excitement over this rumor has always been so odd.

Capcom Makes A Westernized Monster Hunter that apparently even their own people have no faith in so the Main Monster Hunter team goes to work on a new Switch Game.

So its a spin off by people that aren't even the primary MH team

 

[Jawbreaker]

So what happens to your statement when 5 is revealed next year?

No one will care about my statement, so nothing.

 

[Frost Walrus]

It is a game and its not an MMO and its not for mobile.

3DS-exclusive game confirmed.

 

[Gaspard]

 

[Neonep]

MH5, perhaps? Or more specifically, MH5 renamed. Either that or it's MHXX's localized name.

Something in this latter's vein might be right here.

 

[CharminUltra]

Actually, it's Munster Hunter: World

 

[Kouriozan]

It's not Monster Hunter "casualized" since it's wildly different.
Gonna be interesting for sure.

 

[Sandfox]

Or it's what I suggested.

That may be what you want, but the rumor suggests otherwise.

 

[Mr Swine]

It's a Monster Hunter spinoff. Almost every console has gotten them. The PS2, PS3 and 360 (Wii and Wii U got ports of MH3). They've always been different from the main, numbered, entries

Hhmmm ok, we will know in a few days though

 

[Gradivus]

3DS-exclusive game confirmed.

That would be awesome after the pokemon meltdown lol

 

[Quonny]

Mobile game

 

[Rncewind]

already try to assaign to which plattform this comes and trying to devalue it then by spinnoff

this is gonna be a good e3 for meltdowns, at least for me to spectate

That would be awesome after the pokemon meltdown lol

gonna be a meltdown in this case regardless of plattform i think

 

[Primethius]

HA, just looked. Mofo knew all along. >:O

Link to post?

 

[MTC100]

Spinoff material?

 

[Nanashrew]

Monster Hunter World makes it sound like the MH5 rumor but if that's that name, it's definitely not a mainline title. Not even in name.

It's a spinoff.

 

[Malvingt2]

Western focused Monster Hunter ?

ohh that rumor... yeah... not a thing for me

 

[Jawbreaker]

That may be what you want, but the rumor suggests otherwise.

We'll see.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Sounds like a mobile title
