I'm starting to think this is just Monster Hunter XX's localized name. That game is made up of several worlds from past MonHun games and what the heck else are they going to call it? Monster Hunter Generations G? Monster Hunter Generations XX?

It's safer to assume this than anything else at this point in time.

If it is a new game, I don't care what system it is on, I just want it to be a true MonHun game.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

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

I find nothing wrong with it being a spinoff, just look at Persona. I just don't get why people think this was supposed to be 5. Just because it's the next Monster Hunter game?

 

[Kyoufu]

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.

there's no such thing as "mainline" in MH. The best selling MH game is a "spinoff".

 

[KingBroly]

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 back to working on a new Switch Game.

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

I don't think people who haven't played Monster Hunter realize what Monster Hunter actually entails.

 

[watershed]

PS4 exclusive western focused MH incoming!

 

[sinonobu]

PS4

According to rumor it's PS4/PC

 

[Buckle]

Monster hunter is only big in Japan... I'd much rather have dmc 5

Last few entries have actually been doing pretty well.

Support for the series is growing in the west. Could see localized MHXX Switch version or another console installment continuing that.

 

[Oregano]

Link to post?

No doubt it'll be a Monster of a press conference. Exciting.

Japanese game announcements, for the World

.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I'm going to guess this is the PS4 game.

Nah, they're trying to expand their audience in the west, it'll be XB1/PS4 at minimum.

 

[Nanashrew]

Either way, it's not a numbered sequel to what they're currently making.

Monster Hunter Grand Generations

and when there's Monster Hunter XXX

It will be Monster Hunter Great Grand Generations.

Maybe.

Or it might be called World because this one would be truly open world.

(De)generation X obviously

 

[James Scott]

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

Spoiler

Its also going to cause meltdowns, from all sides.

Monster Hunter World will likely be a PS4/PC/X1 game but will be a weird reboot is what I'm getting from that.
Basically the rumor said awhile back, though it's ditching the MH5 name?

 

[Boke1879]

It begins

 

[Neonep]

People saying that does it for DMC5. So you're saying that Itsuno has been working on a Monster Hunter game for damn near 2 years now? Nah.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

It will probably be PS4/X1/PC.

 

[Rncewind]

me neither but thats not how console warrior logic works im afraid

i mean persona is the perfect example i remember the posts where people saying SMT is the best persona is for casuals and the other way arround lol

 

[KZXcellent]

That would be awesome after the pokemon meltdown lol

"Is Capcom's Monster Hunter team the most incompetent developer"

well there it is

Not a reboot, just another spinoff. Could be a tie with the movie too.
They have no reason to reboot the series.

 

[Jawbreaker]

.

Right in plain sight.

 

[Kyoufu]

Either way, it's not a numbered sequel to what they're currently making.

Who cares? They've been working on this for years. Real MH fans don't care if it's a numbered game or not, like they didn't care that the game following MH4 was MHX/Generations.

 

[Kouichi]

People saying that does it for DMC5. So you're saying that Itsuno has been working on a Monster Hunter game for damn near 2 years now? Nah.

I still think Itsuno is making DMC5 but I wouldn't expect it at E3 anymore if this really does end up being the PS4 Monster Hunter.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

The delicious meltdowns if that PS4 leak is real.

As long as the mainline titles still get made I'll be ok...I think.

 

[KZXcellent]

.

Ho-ly shit.

As long as the mainline titles still get made I'll be ok...I think.

Eh, that post was mostly for the minority of MH fans that think the series as a whole should stay on Nintendo period.

 

[CharminUltra]

You're my whole World™

 

[jmizzal]

I dont get it, if the rumor is real, why would there be meltdowns? Who would it be?

The rumor says PS4 gets a main MH game with changes to appeal to the west and Switch gets a main MH game similar to the old ones.

Sounds good for everybody, unless Xbox and PC players all of a sudden want MH

 

[Fat4all]

.

some heavy breadcrumbs

 

[The Last One]

Well, Capcom has only one not announced game releasing till the end of the current fiscal year, it seens this is it.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

The delicious meltdowns if that PS4 leak is real.

Which PS4 leak?

 

[Neonep]

I still think Itsuno is making DMC5 but I wouldn't expect it at E3 anymore if this really does end up being the PS4 Monster Hunter.

DMC5 could easily appear at TGS and/or PSX so yeah.

I think some people are cherry picking what they want out of the the rumors, such as PS4 wins and Nintendo loses. That's why people want meltdowns.

yeah I'm not seeing the negatives here

They don't know about that PSP.

 

[Midas]

.

Wow. First big leak I guess.

 

[Eolz]

Who cares? They've been working on this for years. Real MH fans don't care if it's a numbered game or not, like they didn't care that the game following MH4 was MHX/Generations.

"real MH fans" also don't care about spinoffs that don't look like the classic gameplay, like they didn't care about Frontier, Online, Stories, etc.

 

[Zoon]

.

Suddenly I am extremely excited about Sony's conference.

 

[Neonep]

Well, Capcom has only one game not announced game releasing till the end of the current fiscal year, it seens this is it.

DMC5 could easily be announced this year and not come out until after the end of Capcom's fiscal year.

 

[darkslayer101]

Why would this rule out DMC 5?

it rules out DMC5 for E3 due to:

[Mafro]

I don't think people who haven't played Monster Hunter realize what Monster Hunter actually entails.

This seems to happen a lot in non-OT Monster Hunter threads.

 

[phanphare]

man, I hope it's good

knowing that traditional Monster Hunter will still live one I'd love for two different flavors to coexist. hopefully Capcom doesn't fuck it up somehow.

Agreed 100%. Excited to try this one out (if it's not awful)

Generations Ultimate

 

[Philippo]

Calling the Western-focused reboot MH:World while keeping the numbered series on Switch would make for the safest solution for Capcom imho
Try to expand the series to mainstream western audience with a new spin off series, while keeping the mainline series where the fanbase already is, especially in Japan.

 

[Ray Down]

DMC5 E3 dream looks dead for those who care.

 

[The Last One]

DMC5 could easily be announced this year and not come out until after the end of Capcom's fiscal year.

I don't know, lately Capcom has announced their games not that far off it's release.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah, this is where I'm at. Seems like a win for everyone.

 

[DMONKUMA]

It will probably be PS4/X1/PC.

shit I didn't know it was gonna be on PC. More interested in it now.

But then I remember the combat is more action-y.....I guess I got to see how it looks ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[The Giant]

It's most likely the western name for Monster Hunter Frontier Z which came out in japan on ps4 back in nov 2016.
