yeah and the "World" branding is really perfect here for obvious reasons
What is it that needs to be changed to appeal to the west? I haven't played a MH game, so I'm not trying to be an ass here.

You get them insider details?
Wow and he is always getting heat from the Nintendo fan base. No wonder he was always so confident in his prediction.

Everyone gets a Monster Hunter.
I thought the rumor was that it was only coming to XB1/PS4?
Yeah. The iffy part of the rumor was Capcom attaching mainline title to the Westernized MH.
Semi-rebooting the franchise with MH:World and keeping the mainline on Switch (or 3ds) seems like perfect business strategy.

West friendly combat? I get a lot of people overseas might find it clunky but the combat is what makes it Monster Hunter. If they made it more "West friendly", it would not be Monster Hunter.
As long as we get Switch versions. I want to lay my 3DS to rest, dammit.

More action focused, less crafting / gathering, more responsive gameplay, easy to pick up and play.

That rumor is nonsense.
No, just rumors from the French Japanese translator that said it would be on Sony's console, so I'm going with that. Of course PC could be a thing, Xbox not so much imo.
Best case scenario:
PC/PS4/Switch (personally, preferably with PC as I would have then people to play this with)
Open world, like a proper giant hunting ground instead of this weird instanced stuff.
Graphics that looks next-gen and this time rendered on a screen that doesnt make monsters look like a pile of random pixels when further than 30 meters way.
Most likely scenario:
Mobile
F2P
Tap the monster repeatedly to beat it.

that's why traditional Monster Hunter will continue to exist
The rumor was Sony paid for Exclusivity on the Next Monster Hunter game but during the process Ppeople within Capcom had serious doubts and fears so the Main Monster hunter Team was tasked with a new Switch Monster Hunter that will be traditional Monster Hunter instead of the Westernized Monster Hunter

Sony made a contract for Westernised Monster Hunter. Was originally MH5.
Nintendo gets MHXX for Switch and MH Portable 5. Now will probably be MH5.
I know, I argued with him a lot myself because I thought a straight up MH5 multiplatform seemed a lot more likely. Seems I was wrong, so wrong...

Verendus vindicated, that means FF6 remake is happening

That sounds less like MonHun and more like a generic action game posing as a MonHun. (Dauntless)

Ew.
Off the top of my head the rumor said that they would be simplifying the weapons, adding quick time events, removing missions, and removing gathering. There's more stuff, but I would need to see the rumor again.

If only Verendus "review" of Final Fantasy XV was accurate.

Two people have said PS4 exclusive now.
I don't know what to believe but I'm glad it is coming.

Why would Frontier ever be localized, and why would even want to play it?
Real fans wait to see how the game plays before they decide if they care or not.
Which is what I'm saying. "Real fans" won't jump on it just because it's called MonHun.

It had too much smoke to be fake

Uh oh "huge internal strife at capcom"
I don't think this game will end up being any good if the leak is true.
also a JRPG from Japan studio

Hmm, well, we'll see. I'll be pretty bemused if the 4chan rumor turns out to be mostly correct, though less so than if this Westernized MH were actually called MH5.
There are a variety of possibilities for what this could be, but I always thought it would make significantly more sense for a potential open world/West-oriented MH to be the spinoff and the numbered MH games to continue along their previous trajectory. The "Oh PS4 gets the REAL Monster Hunter now! Everything else is a side series!" element was always the single most far-fetched element of that 4chan MH rumor. Capcom make some bad decisions but I don't think they'd put all their eggs in that particular basket.

I have some concerns when it comes to Capcom's recent console outings. SFV came out half-baked and MvCi has me skeptical especially given the leaked roster and how visually boring it looks compared to MVC3. RE7 was great though so I'm 50/50 on whether this will even turn out good at all.
Combat
Online
Crafting
Gathering
Quest structure
Open world rather than segmented maps
Basically a lot of things that makes the game what it is.
I don't think this is a spin-off but more of a soft-reboot of a franchise to appeal to the Western market.
So they just made sure they it wouldn't come to Nintendo platforms for this game? It seems to be coming to PC as well.

As we established in the other threads, most people just want MH to be Dragon's Dogma 2 anyway.
three? :0

If the original rumor was:
*MH5 on PS4
*Monster Hunter Portable 5th on Switch
And MH PS4 is seemingly now called MH World would that mean MH5 will be the Switch game?
The rumor always sounded like a dumb idea, but I believed it due to it being Capcom. I guess we'll see in the upcoming months

The 4chan rumor is a bunch of BS. Its logic doesn't even make sense.

Yeah seriously. And they're gonna be staring down the barrel of Horizon too. It's gonna be tough to top that.
Yeah I know they aren't exactly the same, but everyone knows gamers will compare the two.
