I don't think the Xbox version will sell gang Buster's, but the PS4 should do fine and PC will be huge. I imagine a Dark souls like population for it on PC
Fingers crossed.

What still baffles me is how Capcom claims the series up till now failed in the west, when all of their changes/approaches with World show that they never really gave a shit about properly promoting it in the west. Why did they never once attempt a worldwide release or servers before? Why did they largely leave it to Nintendo to publish/promote the game, especially in Europe? This company is a fucking mess
Remember when CoD and Assassin's Creed had numbers? Good times.
no, its bad, it splits the franchise playerbase
switch exclusiv would be best kappa
I disagree entirely
- no portability for jp, bad sales in japan
- the game will not appeal the mainstream west gamer
Dark Souls players and MH players have a decent overlap so I expect it personallyFingers crossed.
you've ben on a salt tour ever since the announcement. The last days have been filled with jolly crow pies and i can't wait for tomorrow to see you have some more.
So they wont tarnish the branding when this games bombs to hell and back.
I'm sorry, but the argument made here gets IMMEDIATELY! shot down the moment you remind yourself, "The reveal trailer was shown at E3." Had world been shown at the Tokyo Game Show, it would have been seen as yet another "Monster Hunter Game out of Japan." The fact that it was revealed at E3 shows the intention of releasing this for the western audience; something that (to my knowledge) has never happened before in the history of the series.
Places they choose to show it, don't say at all if people will like it or just even care about it.
For what i have seen, the response from the e3 public was really cold.
And on social networks and gaming sites, mainstream public didn't care it or even didn't knew what mh was
Doesn't even need that really. MH has a footing in the west already, they just want to expand it more.if fucking Dark Souls and Persona and Fire Emblem can find footings in the west then so can Monster Hunter
you just need to put in more graphics and cinematics
Hmm 4.5 mil views for the announcement trailerPlaces they choose to show it, don't say at all if people will like it or just even care about it.

Looking at newer videos gives me hope. That said I still want a portable version. The game flourished as a portable by having in person MP for gatherings and such. Also as a traveler for business, MH was my go to game.
I'm hoping Capcom doesn't Cacpcom this game with DLC and other bullshit so it can succeed. It has potential to be successful in the west but it's really hard to rely on them making smart business decisions lately.
You can always count on Capcom to do the wrong thing.I just hope for Capcom's sake they don't bloat expectations like they did for RE7 ever again.
Mainstream gamers love co op action games
The souls,nioh crowd would not be a huge leap and a PC release could capture a huge untapped market of enthusiasts
You guys are underselling the significance of their approach here.
Neogaf is the most cynical I've seen of the game same with Spider-Man infact

Just need an "escape handheld ghetto" post and the shit-post cycle is complete.
Man, that looks really good.
I'm just glad the game is finally out of the 3DS ghetto so they can finally start pushing the franchise forward.
Hmm 4.5 mil views for the announcement trailer
1.5 for the gameplay trailer
(Only counting views from one channel each)
Likes seems fine
Reaction videos seem hyped
Where you looking. Neogaf is the most cynical I've seen of the game same with Spider-Man infact
16 hours ish until we get good quality gameplay footage from the Capcom Japan live stream of the E3 demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvKE9iVz-Ig
Like what...This number could even only came from the japanese community.
Other than this biggest eu gaming sites has 0 to 15 comments on news on mh, didn't made up on proper research on us sites, but i will on future.
I can say for sure that for now, people are not interested at all on mh, and the only one that are, they think it's a Horizon less story based game..
that some first class marketing analysis you did
did you also not claim japanese fans would hate it? I dont know if you speak japanese but the users of japanes forums i hang arround were very positiv about the annoucment
You are just showing one thing.
Mh was already on many home console around on the past, if people was get interest from this brand, were already jump out and made a huge word of mouth as it happen for dark souls.
But it never happen in the last 15 years, from the release of mh on playstation 2, after on wii (how didn't had a wii on that time?) and after on ps3/wiiu.
Some franchise don't get the wester audience for many reason, and i really think that one of this is mh.
Like what...
So the number came from the Japanese community yet it'll bomb there as well right?

I like how they made efforts to localize all the psp games in the west, release mhtri on wii in the west, then release mhp3rd on psp but not localize to the west.
It's not going to bomb ... Geez, what is with this bizarre line of thought

Blame Sony America for that
It is not going to bomb, but it is going to be how abandoning the japanese market will pay of
They never met the demands of the base whith every release past PS2
Do i seriously have to explain why the online gaming crowd ignored Tri and 3U?!?
Online gamers were playing all their games on 360 and Ps3 and were accustomed to the benefits those ecosystems provided for playing online
Wii was a joke for casual blue ocean audience and hampered the experience with wii speak and no ethernet port
WiiU had the best console release ever made in 3 Ultimate but again... the system was already failing right out of the gate
Many players scoffed at the series for being exclusive when many online gamers could enjoy big online games on their platforms of choice Including other big capcom franchise like RE5 and Street fighter
Monster hunter stands out as being the series of "too little, too late" in the west. Now we can finally see if MHW can break the mold.
And you guys are trying to crap over it and stay stuck in the past
6 years and 5 3DS games was enough
I dont believe you or consider you an authority on the matter
Stop saying you know anything for sure going forward
They wouldn't need to bring Frontiers Subs, they could simply extend the previous Japan only Hunter License Fees that were in MH, G, MH2, and Tri to the "World" audience.
You didn't give me strong reason why all this home console release could not take the western audience they want to aim now.
Exclusivity can't be a reason, if there are on the market 100m console and potential costumers with the same probability to took the game.
Online pc/x360/ps3 frontier games were there, but no one was interested on them, and i can even make a bet that a marketing push was not going to change anything.
Like i said i has no problem with the platform it will come this game, i have a ps4, a pc, a switch and a 3ds.. I could be happy in any case.
I'm just pointing out, that in my opinion, it will be a fail on the west side and probably on the jp ones too (if you count on it the cost of development)
Lol wow
It looks amazing and plenty of people are hyped
I predict it does great but i see salty members are continuing to ride the doom train instead getting pumped for a new generation
Frontier is your counter argument?!?
The game we both never got but was also not even made by the same people?
Cmon now
So they pretty much confirmed that a main series MH game is still skipping the Switch entirely. How baffling.
I don't see "5" being used in any capacity unless their attempt at establishing the "World" branding utterly bombs, which it won't.still certian "MH5" will be on Switch. though it'll probably be billed as a spinoff or whatever
They're not going to bring MMO fees to a non-MMO in the West.
