Its a self manufactured rumbling, just like the self-manufactured rumor of the contract lasting for a period of time.

Please don't spoil the narrative.
It is a beautiful tale, even if it is from some ass.

What I expect:
- MH Frontier 2 for PC&PS4
- F2P
- no English release
Joke's on you Capcom, I highly doubt you could still disappoint me with these expectations.

(please don't try)
Nothing beats Mega Man Legends 3 for me where Capcom outright blamed the fans.

The most I would expect on the PS4 platform would be MH4U HD. MH may of found a foot in the western market but the vast majority of its sales still come from handhelds and so it will stay there.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for iOS please.
You know, a Monster Hunter-themed take on Super Puzzle Fighter wouldn't be so bad.
No matter what platforms we're eventually going to be talking about, I suspect it's a good idea to drop that hope right away. I think Capcom would be very sceptical about whether such an upgrade would be worth the investment, given those assets aren't going to be useful on handhelds any time soon.
This is the final non-Frontier Monster Hunter game on PlayStation:

That's one way to make that Felyne spinoff interesting!
And I'm out after this. It's obvious people are going to poo poo anything MH that's not on 3DS or Wii U at this point so I'll just wait until after the event. If Capcom indeed brings something to Vita/PS4, it only shows Capcom is trying to spread MH instead of pleasing Nintendo fans.
Did you read my post? I'm hopeful just like you, but I understand why Capcom might not be eager to invest a relatively large amount of resources to make a new MH game on a platform other than the one where it's currently making bank. (MHO and the rumored MHF2 are a bit different by virtue of being outsourced.)

Maybe i'll finally see some Dino Crisis DLC to go with all the other Capcom ones.

Could you please share with us the reasoning for which bringing a mainline MH entry on PS4 would be the best investment for Capcom?
Capcom is already trying to spread MH, since it is the most successful platform in Japan and worldwide; MH4 sold more than expected in Japan, and had the best debut ever in Western markets. What is exactly your point?
What, wasn't one of the core goals in the partnership with Nintendo was to spread MH in other regions? Like for NoA and NoE to accomplish what SCEA and SCEE didn't? Has the narrative changed or something? Did NoA and NoE suddenly failed to meet Capcom's expectations?
Well have fun. I'll be playing it on the Nontendo 4DS.
Okay, so basically what's being said here is that the "rumblings" you referenced are fucking nothing then, right? God, it's so silly how these discussions always turn into not-so-subtle digs on Nintendo fans, when really it has zilch to do with anything being talked about.

It was, but it was made for the Wii instead because of "high developement cost on the PS3":

Capcom didnt make it properly compatible for western PS3s. Its using a service thats only on japanese PS3s (maybe other asian countries too).
They also blocked it because it was single PSP remaster and they only allowed collections.
Either way if Sony cared they should have put in the work. That's what third party relations are about.
Yeah, Sony's broken their own rules before, like when they let Yakuza games get physical releases here without English dubs.

I dont think that would be much of a hurdle to overcome. I would guess that the technical aspect was the biggest reason.
Yeah, they could technically have done it, i just wanted to mention that it wasnt just a case of blocking something trivial.
That is a pretty trivial thing, its not a technical reason. Well, they could have said that they could release a game that wouldnt work properly, but that is a pretty big rule to break.
They could have just made ad hoc party available worldwide, that seems pretty simple.
It's hard to defend Sony on this when the Frankenstick is a thing.

I have no idea how easy or hard it is, so i cant say much about that.
Yeah, it should have been possible to find a solution back then. I just wanted to mention that it wasnt something simple that just allowing a game that wasnt dubbed or something simple like that.
No. If anything it exceeded their expectation.What, wasn't one of the core goals in the partnership with Nintendo was to spread MH in other regions? Like for NoA and NoE to accomplish what SCEA and SCEE didn't? Has the narrative changed or something? Did NoA and NoE suddenly failed to meet Capcom's expectations?

It's just show that Sony didn't care at all about the biggest game that ever graced one of its platforms in Japan.

Thats a terrible excuse to leave the thread after not being able to provide what's the "rumbling" you have heard. But hey, not stopping you there.

The handheld series sells primally in Japan is a huge local coop series. Investing in a secondary platform may not be worth it.
Sony helped pay for Street Fighter V.

Then Capcom can do PS4/PSV/PC. PSV for Japan, PS4/PC for everywhere else. Considering how easy it is to develop game for both PS4 and PSV I don't see this is impossible.

JAPAN hardware sales is the reason.
3DS # | 18.428.732 |
| PSV # 3.794.920
PS4 1.303.655

MH will sell anywhere regardless. MH fans follow their games not the system. Also PS4 version would do some decent numbers in Japan as well.

The point isn't if it is easy. The point is even if it is easy it might not be worth it from a financial perspective.

Maybe next gen . Does not make sense to move when the 3DS userbase is still active. The next MH game will most likely be the last main line MH on 3DS (outside of a possible G version).

I can see a cross 3DS/Successor version.
