So nothing to do with MH4 then, right?

It could.

At the best of times it's difficult to isolate stock movements down to one specific issue, unless it shifts drastically. But with how volatile stock markets are at the moment I wouldn't want to pick a single reason for why a stock goes up or down.

 

[DiscoJer]

Wait... so is this confirmed to be an exclusive, or is it multiplatform?

How many 3DS games have been multiplatform with the Vita?

Isn't pretty much just Blazblue it? Well, also Michael Jackson and presumably Madden. But it's not a big list. That's the other thing, I don't get why people just automatically think it's going to be multiplatform just because the Vita exists....

 

[Shtof]

I'll be waiting for the inevitable Vita port.

 

[Wazzim]

Anyone else concerned about the 'unchartedness' of the trailer? I hope normal quests wont have all the jumping as mandatory because that would take allot of time for nothing. Could be cool for Urgent quests though, as like an 'intro' to the monster.

Well IGN says DualCore 266mhz Arm11 - which against Dual Core 333mhz R4000 puts them in the same ballpark.
Don't have any public-links for details beyond that, sorry

is that the PSP's CPU?

from Capcom press release:

Making games multiplatform is a basic strategy, and Capcom has strengthened the "Monster Hunter" franchise, as well as other popular brands, by using it. Capcom will continue to meet the player's expectations through superior developmental knowhow and research, and by choosing hardware that benefits our games the most.

 

[antonz]

I will have to take your word on it. Seems bizarre they'd be even close after so many years, but alas.

PSP Does not have a dual core CPU

 

[Sidewinder]

Stock markets around the world have been falling a lot recently due to renewed concerns over the sovereign debt crisis.

Capcom, as a company that does a lot of its business in the West and relies on non-essential consumer spending, is more exposed than most.

Stockholders would rather see them fire some employees and cut some corners, which would immediately decrease expenditures, than make new games, because that costs moneyz right now!!1

I've just noticed my friend Joe's Mii doesn't bob his head like mine or yours. I must learn how to stop the bobbing.

Sad thing is most video game stockholders have no freaking clue about the industry and cant understand such things as different console makers etc

 

[Sipowicz]

from a business perspective this is a huge boon for nintendo. they've always been focused on the domestic market, and both handhelds and the monster hunter games reign supreme there. + pokemon and all the mario games are huge and it's still getting dragon quest game

It is the biggest franchise in japan. If it is exclusive, nintendo should really be screaming it from the rooftops.

Im sure we'll see some version of it on other consoles. capcom loves jumping platforms.
EDIT: plus press release about multiplatform stragety.

Restream of conference

http://www.twitch.tv/regalado7/b/294955304

Pretty sure I heard no mention of online or wi-fi at all. But if someone else wants to have a listen ~53 mins.

 

[jaundicejuice]

That trailer was certainly cinematic.

 

[Regulus Tera]

That's not a duck.

 

[Wazzim]

PSP Does not have a dual core CPU

I forgot his name (the guy with the graphics horse avatar) said that the media engine has another core/cpu too. I think it only can go up to 166mhz though (main CPU 333mhz).

 

[SYNTAX182]

I don't even... man, so good

 

[goomba]

That's the gpu

 

[Kyoufu]

Yeah definitely no signs of online so far.

 

[Wazzim]

That's the gpu

So what's with the Media Engine? It has that for certain.

 

[john tv]

Just wanted to drop in to say this game looks AWESOMEEEEEE

 

[Twinduct]

LOL oh wow!
I assume this is a MH intended for the western audience? (Or at least what capcom believes would appeal to a western audience?)

I honestly hope this is just some announcement PV or some shit. I will cry if every hunt forces some shit like this :<

 

[Ratrat]

Will we ever get a monster hunter thread thats not plagued with platform talk?

 

[slidewinder]

So what's with the Media Engine? It has that for certain.

The "Media Engine" is the second R4000 core that Fafalada was talking about.

 

[AzureNightmare]

To be completely fair in regard to the unsavoury folks crapping the Nintendo related threads at this moment, I don't make a habit of going into threads for games I'm not interested in or platforms I outright don't like (protip: I am the definition of a multiplatform gamer). I would really appreciate it if you guys were to reciprocate the respect I give you. Nothing will really change whether you do or don't but it definitely would make this forum a much nicer place. This of course is all dependant upon whether or not you wish to show civility and the courtesy of a gentlemen/lady.

 

[StuBurns]

Why do you think that?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I guess all that time, money, and resources wasted on Dragon's Dogma can apply to other series!

Thanks, seems like the moment everyone on GAF went crazy in the thread was when Iwata asked the producer if he had a final message for everyone at the conference as well as all fans watching the conference over the internet at home. Lol.

 

[jeremy1456]

Correct me if im wrong, but isn't MHP3 the only multiplatform game inthe series ?

 

[StickSoldier]

INTERNET!!!

 

[Gravijah]

When the game is out and 90% of the posters in these threads don't care about it, maybe.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

The specifications for the Media Engine just makes it look like the GPU.

 

[Pachterballs]

the trailer was kind of odd, long, running around, climbing etc and the fighting then the big ass logo.

its like mini dragons dogma from that trailer.

 

[StuBurns]

Thanks, seems like the moment everyone on GAF went crazy in the thread was when Iwata asked the producer if he had a final message for everyone at the conference as well as all fans watching the conference over the internet at home. Lol.

That's pretty disappointing.

 

[antonz]

Thats exactly what it is. its the equivalent to the Pica chip in the 3DS as far as function

 

[Ratrat]

There's still sales talk. But you're probably right.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Rewatching the trailer, that does actually look awful graphically.

But it was clearly more of an intention of direction for the series rather than a showcase of polish.

It will end up looking better than that, obviously. Curious to see just how much better.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Took how many years for it to die down on MGS4 when half the people only wanted a Betrayl?

Yeah it just coming out wouldn't be enough.

 

[Jinfash]

I don't know a lick of Japanese and even I understood that part.

 

[Twinduct]

Why do you think that?

This looks an attempt to make the game more cinematic. Again this is only if this is some PV and that the main hunts don't follow some set string of paths like in the video

 

[duckroll]

That's pretty disappointing.

Only because anyone has expectations at all!

4 is probably more than a year away unless they really have a big team working on it. I expect a 2013 release for it

For sure, look at the cloud and ground textures, especially close to the end of the trailer.

If release date is in 2years I'd say a lot better.

I do and that's why I'm here posting about it.

I don't see anything that would stop him from stopping to fight them wherever he wanted (as long as it had enough space and wasn't a breakable platform itself), they just wanted to show off the more interactive, seamless environments and character agility I think....

And yeah, early stuff folks, the environment looks worse than TriG and the Tigrex look like PSP yet the Rathalos like Tri. Tri G is the new game you can expect in the coming months/year depending on region, 4 is way off it seems, as should be expected.

The same video that was uploaded online was titled "Concept Video," so yeah, it's too early judge anything other than the new direction they're taking the series through.

 

[GhostWriter24]

So I know hundreds of people are blowing their loads over this news, but I didn't see anything about it being exclusive to the platform in their press release. Is it going multi or is it safe to say Capcom's going with 3DS only?

 

[StuBurns]

I don't really connect the 'cinematic' style with the Western audience, but you might be right. It looks pretty much like Dragon's Dogma to me.

Only because anyone has expectations at all!

Admittedly, I don't know how much it costs to include online play, or how many people would benefit from it, but I do strongly believe it would help sales world wide. I'll almost certainly still end up buying the game, but I'd be much more excited if I knew I could play with friends. I did expect it honestly yeah.

So I know hundreds of people are blowing their loads over this news, but I didn't see anything about it being exclusive to the platform in their press release. Is it going multi or is it safe to say Capcom's going with 3DS only?

Regardless of a PSV SKU, it's major news. A huge Japanese franchise is putting it's focus solely on the handhelds it seems.

 

[antonz]

We really dont know. Capcom talks strongly about multiplatforming the franchise. That would make more sense then multiplatforming a specific game. Give each handheld its own version

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It's Capcom

If they can port it, they will

But no one knows for sure yet what the details are. If Sony doesn't show Vita footage of this game tomorrow, whether it does eventually come to Vita or not, it will be hard to unring that bell.
