The only reason I don't want to post a thread about the rumor is that I don't know how long before the MH direct it appeared.
It's not my screen capture, so it's not my time zone, which is fairly close to Japan.
I just like the bit where it says huge internal strife at Capcom.
If that guy really guessed the name right, then that rumor probably has some merit.
EDIT: someone should make a thread if this is all true, it would be a pretty big rumor that has evidence behind it.

Speaking of WSJ guy, Capcom is currently seeing "difficulties" of making games multiplat between Sony platform and Nintendo's because of multiple differences between them (like hardware themselves, bushiness standpoints and such).
"Changing the combat in MH5 for the Western audience."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well Capcom stated they won't have any software for Switch at launch at today's investor meeting it seems. However they can always have a staggered release I guess..
Like I said before, they're better off working on their next big release while Switch's install base increases.
This is why big IPs are rarely launch titles.
Yeah buts its an annual franchise
I dont see any reason why they wouldnt push a cross gen port of MHXX on the thing
They should collab with Guerilla Games on a full-blown "Monster Hunter" game. GG can handle the tech, and as a tie-in with "Horizon," feature a robo-dino or two. Do it, Sony!
true that
what a bunch of shit. willingly dumbing down the combat (because that's what it sounds like to me) for the west? naw fam
it's Capcom tho. they might just go ahead and pull this shit with MH5

The rumor doesn't make sense. Didn't capcom say that the 3ds games sold surprisingly well in the west?So let me get this straight: Sony is desperate for more Japanese sales, and yet they paid Capcom to make a hunting action game that specifically caters to the west.
Who else read that out loud and not laugh uncontrollably?

Sounds like that person called the name of it, not the existence of the title, which was obvious to begin with. Either way, I don't see why a PS4 MH game is out of the question. Crazier things have happened. If the DQXI reveal has taught me anything, it's that NIntendo fans shouldn't be so keen to make assumptions based on historical 3DS releases and sales. Fun times ahead.
Didn't they already dumb everything down in MH4U, then even more in MHG? Dumbing it down for that 3DS base.

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a link for this?
Since that one is actually news, I'd like to break off a thread.
I asked crinale for the source of that claim, and it's this tweet from WSJ's Mochizuki
https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/791882098185424896
He also translated what's in that tweet, so we don't have to rely on sketchy Google Translation's stuff
Their fiscal year budget plan (ends March 2017 I assume) does not have Switch softwware at this moment. They also said they are willing to put effort towards that platform.
Given the wording, it really looks like something that, assuming something gets announced on January 12th and comes out by March 2017, can be edited for the next Capcom's Financial Release and Investor Meeting, coming weeks after the Switch's presentation.
We already went over this in this thread and I posted about it in the Media Create thread. Quoting myself from there
So, not as definitive as it could sound from crinale's previous message, I would say it's not even a news deserving its own thread, since it's just "not including Switch games in our FY forecasts for now", which means that can change once stuff is announced, and not a "We won't have titles for Switch's launch" kind of statement. Also, I believe people should read this and NOT the original message, in order to avoid confusion / drama of any kind.
Are you guys seriously thinking that MH5 "leak" is real? That is one of the most fake things I've seen out of something, MH isn't going back to Sony, making it open world and removing the timers wouldn't even be MH, it'd just be a different IP all-together.
Except it's not really "news" - it's just some unconfirmed rumor that doesn't make much sense for a number of reasons that have already been mentioned.That MH5 news seems thread worthy - didnt expect Sony to have the money to secure MH5 exclusively. Weird that Nintendo would let that happen...then again who knows what Capcoms goals are with the IP.
I don't think anyone here believes the latter portions of that rumour.
I find it bizarre that so many people are assuming the 4chan "leak" to be real based on such flimsy evidence. Granted, Sony fans have jumped on *every* "MH is coming to PSP/Vita/PS3/PS4" rumor that has appeared in the last number of years, so I guess it should've been expected :|

I know its just a rumor - but i would rather have a dedicated thread than this MH XX thread being all about a potential MH5 for PS4.
If only the series got this much support from western Sony fans back when it was on Sony hardware!
Still no Monster Hunter Stories though.

I'll make it, just give me a bit.This is a good point.
If people want to keep discussing the rumor, break it off to a different thread so this can be about XxX_MonsterHunter_XxX.
If people don't find it worthwhile, we should just move on.
I love this post.This makes sense for several reasons:
- Monster Hunter on consoles always have been bigger than on handhelds
- Street Fighter V is proof that being exclusive to the PS4 actually pays off for Capcom
- The MonHun franchise is strong in Japan but stronger in the west which makes the shift to homeconsoles plausible
- The huge userbase they've built on the 3DS which is attached to the mainline series and jumping towards the Switch in the future would probably understand why they would have to play the Portable series and not object because in general the Japanese are very polite
Kinda excited for this!
Is the anime a different story than the game? Sometimes these tie-in series use the same story that the game does, and I don't want to already know what happens in the game before it even comes out here.Speaking of MHS... If you care about MH you should watch the anime.
I just watched episode 3 and HOLY SHIT.
