Again, why does Sony have to worry about Xbox One? In Japan, they're a non-factor. In Europe, they have that market in the bag. In America it's more of a fight, but with everything else all totaled, they don't have anything to worry about. So it wouldn't matter to them at all if the game came out on the Xbox One.
I don't think that Sony paid for exclusivity and more for inclusion and exclusion. So they want a Monster Hunter on the PS4, they want a console Monster Hunter on their own in Japan. If they exclude the NS, they'll have it all to themselves in Japan. Games most likely sell more on the PS4 worldwide, so they don't have to worry about that, either. So Capcom is going to make a console HD Monster Hunter that Sony will have exclusively in Japan.
Now as to why it would be Westernized, I think there's something to be said about this. History says that traditional console Monster Hunter doesn't do as well in Japan. So changing up the formula and adding something different that may appeal to Japan, but also appeal to the Western audiences is good for Sony and good for Capcom. If the game bombs, then Capcom can fall back on traditional Monster Hunter on the NS. The thing is, I think Capcom wouldn't give Sony an exclusive on Monster Hunter. They wouldn't be silly enough to do that, but Sony paying to have a HD Monster Hunter only on their platform in Japan would be the next best thing.
The irony is the devs started to not like the product and the original "A" Mon Hun team went back to making a new Nintendo MonHun game while leaving the PS4 game to whoever the heck happens to be at capcom now. Sony would be pissed if this is true.
If this is using the Deep Down engine......
Pfft, as much as I'd love that you are both delusional. They won't budge on the graphical side. Their "HD" games look like graphically impressive ps2 games. Even with a game for this gen I expect 360/ps3 graphics tops. I'd be pleasantly surprised otherwise though. I don't play MH for graphics anyway. Nothing else out there quite like it. I've tried many other "hunting" games and found none of them as enjoyable.That would be pretty exciting. Although, do we know if the engine is even alive (for Capcom, that is)? Since Deep Down has gone completely dark, I'm very worried about the state of that engine. It's very impressive from what we've seen of it.
Yes, Europe is a Sony stronghold but NA sales make it so the gap is not double or close to it unless you factor in the rest of the world.
Re: EDarkness post
If you look at the rumor, it falls apart. It begins with saying that Sony is desperate for Japan. Lets assume that to be factually true. Sony then enters into a contract with Capcom to make Monster Hunter 5 for PS4 excluding Switch as a possibility. Apparently Sony does not care about PC (makes sense) or Xbox versions (makes no sense given this console generation). So already, something doesn't add up. But lets not dismiss the rumor there.
The rumor then goes on to state how this title will be different than past MH games and focused more so on the west. It'll be simplified, streamlined, cutback and what have you. That's where it all falls apart. Sony got into a contract because they were desperate for Japan, and then funded a game that appeals to an entirely different region?
The rumor then says traditional Monster Hunter will be on the Switch. At that point, you know the rumor is a bunch of bullshit. So... Sony was so desperate for Japan they funded a Monster Hunter game completely different than predecessors, aimed at a different market all the while letting Nintendo have the traditional Monster Hunter titles appear on their platform?
That shit makes no fucking sense. A drunk could come up with a more logically coherent rumor that doesn't flip every other sentence. How does that solve anything for Sony all the while having them fund a different MH game for all the platforms?
That game is a really good case against open world Monster Hunter.Lol. Dragon's Dogma already is going in the direction of a "westernized" MH, so that is bullshit.
Noone can say something about the quality before seeing actual gameplay or at least get real infos about that.
OT but awesome avatar that Ape Escape greatness yo, always hoping it'll appear in E3 ahThe issues I'm seeing in this thread that is distorting what the rumor depicted:
1. It seems a lot of people have seen varying rumors...with added things in here
2. WHAT? You cannot possibly be serious when telling me Sony is DESPERATE for Japan. NieR, P5, GG, BB, Tales Of, almost every popular JRPG is on the PS4. Tell me why would they be desperate? They are the only console that offer these games...
This deal is for Capcom. They've said it themselves in 2015, something along the lines of - "wanting the monster hunter name to grow throughout the world". They have minimized their studio to only truly focus and specialize on a few titles, so an ambitious change like this will require some help, and Sony were the ones to step up; and Capcom knew they were their best bet.
And AGAIN in APRIL of 2017 where they revealed a major title will be out by 2018, they have showed their idea of "a successful franchise" and theres a slide there that SHOWS them, themselves saying after the IP becomes known, they will begin to 'rework' the IP, showing a picture of MH.
The rumor simply brought in light the IDEA of MH on console, further research shows that it 100% makes sense. Some parts of the rumor may be off, but it's most likely a PS4/PC title. Worlds is LITERALLY the perfect name, this game has crazy potential
3U is probably over million by now (700k+ 3DS + 300k+ Wii U) and 4U did 1.5m in the west. Tri and Generations were each just under a million at around 800k and 900k respectively.
It makes me a little curious how much higher Capcom thinks a high budget PS4/XB1/PC Monster Hunter would do in the west?
First thing, MH is nothing like a fighting game, full stop, and referring to as such is weird even if I do think it's possible to stretch the definition so wildly it can technically fit.
The game is skill based, and encouraging the player to fight the same monster multiple times to get the armor they oh so dearly want is another way to improve the player's skill at the game. There is a lot of thought put into each monster, it's animations, it's move combinations, etc. If you could beat it on a or twice and have a full set of armor, you're only increasing your stats rather than your skill, and most monsters, even well designed ones like the Zinogre, would see players run through it once and then never again until they get to the next rank.
I have a feeling that this new game will be similar to MH3 in terms of content. (echoing the 4chan rumor)
MH3 was a big step for the franchise in terms of animations and gameplay. It was a huge generation jump, but because of that the dev team didn't have enough time to add lots of monsters, weapons and armors. They could only do so much in a couple years of development.
I feel like MHW will suffer the same fate. And if that happens I'm hoping for updates post launch.
Praying for GL and LS users. ⛪
Oh my lord.....
Please be a PS4 title and not a subscription based mmo or another Nintendo exclusive.
A new weapon type would be cool.Yup, I totally agree with this, I wouldn't expect a ton of content either.
A new weapon type would be cool.
Gun... Axe, or something.
Yeah a whip, my kids have been hoping for that. Could be the next thing.Guns and Axes are already in MH
In the Monster Hunter art book, there are illustrations of the Whip being an actual weapon type. Maybe we'll get that?

Whips would be cool. I'd also love for MH to get a spear weapon. I'm not fond of the huge shields of the lance and gunlance.

I really liked the Hunting Hound concept that was in the MHG artbook. That or combine it with the Halk pet from Frontier. Like a Falconer (Wyverner?) weapon class.Guns and Axes are already in MH

If this is using the Deep Down engine......
Imagine if Monster Hunter World is a colaboration between Capcom + Japan Studio & genDesign? And it's mix between MH Gameplay with some caracteristcs and narrative ala Shadow of the Colossus? Am i dreaming too much? Fumito Ueda hinted a few months ago that their next game will be some kind of "open world game" .Who knows?
😍😍😍I'm really not sure which posts are serious or not in this thread anymore...
It's most likely going to be multi-plat (Xbox One/PS4/PC) so probably not going to happen
Matt says this will be coming to the Bone.

Wonder if it also comes to Steam. I'd guess so with XB1 being included.
Know of any new weapons types or monsters? One blink for yes, two blinks for no.Aye.
Said this in the MC thread, but there is one thing has been bothering me, why didn't they sign that trademark in Japan?

I'm starting think that this might be just Western name for Frontier
There's no way it's Frontier.
Unless it's Frontier 2.
Funny some people still on Denial Mode.
