Capcom are upgrade dodging total.

Monster Hunter - running on the same engine since 2004. Next stop after 3DS = shitty phones

god for fucking bid they have to upgrade this. Though, i will give them their due, they do seem to have put some effort into this as they seem to have DOWNGRADED from MH3G.

Downloaded it few years ago for my PSP,played with it like an hour or two...and I was like holy shit wtf is this garbage, :zzz :zzz :zzz,total waste of bandwidth :duh :duh
Deleted and never looked back again.

Not sure what Capcom would have to do to make this series appealing to me.

you are kidding , right?

How many games is it now without the game getting a significant upgrade graphically? It's pretty clear that it's a path of least effort for The Clap-com. Toot toot... mobile phones/Gree platform next for this series.

"but we are looking to expand bu bu bu ... " (we don't want to upgrade the engine)

The fact we have nthings pointing at the in engine (+ the extra animation/effects) as "oh this is pushing the 3DS to the limit" is pretty shocking. There's a high quality version of this video and it looks -definitely- sub PSP. I get that it might be one seemless overworld and every bright red brick might be ....

wait a god damned minute....

+ added platforming
+ mid air stomp attacks
+ monkey style new enemy
+ red destructable platforms
+ whole level looks made up of blocks

Why not just make moustaches on characters mandatory and give the player a gay colour changed side kick and call it Mario Hunter ?

That said I don't care if it looks like an N64 game if it does away with the atrocious amount of loading screens Tri had. Also they finally cut the bloom which made Tri/G look worse than they should have.

Please be online and released in non-Japan.

Trailer looks good.  I'm mildly interested depending on how different it is from past games.  My problem with games like this, Pokemon, Call of Duty, etc. is that each game plays to the base who just wants more of the same thing.  There are the nuanced changes and a new bulletpoint or two ("water" for Tri) but as someone who isn't part of that base, I can't appreciate or care for minor changes to what looks to be the same game.  So with MH4, I like the opener areas, platforming, multiple levels, and stuff, but I don't know if that all makes the core game interesting again.  And visuals are fine if it's going for larger, seamless levels.  Other monster hunter levels are multiple plots of flatland with loading gates between them.

Does this one have online play, btw?

it's just a shame there's not a more powerful handheld machine out there that could perhaps give extra graphic fidelity to the whole game. If only one existed, with a history of fans of that handheld maker also buying Monster Hunter titles in the past.

Alas, i can't think of such a machine :(

Some of them might still be on PSP but they're probably the super poor ones/pirates.

Come this time next year the 3DS will have two mainline games in the series, don't know why actual fans and not system warriors wouldn't have a 3DS at that point.

Yes, MH3rdP sold close to 5 million copies .... MH3G sold 1.5m copies

:fungle ALL THE MH PLAYERS ARE ON THE 3DS :fungle

And surely 3DS owners can't pull "them PSP owners all be poors" when the PSP costs -more- than a 3DS here in Japan. 3DS -is- the complete "budget not-really-into-games meff" option #1. PAINTED ON IN GOLD.

This statement has no correlation to what you quoted nor does it follow the conversation stream in any sense.


EDIT: Okay, just to move this forward, there is absolutely no way that all Pokemon players would migrate to PSP/Vita/Panasonic Jungle. A significant portion of people playing Pokemon would be fans of the Nintendo platform associated with it before they are Pokemon player. In the same way not every PSP player that happens to play MonHun would naturally jump to a 3DS situation. Some and I suggest a majority of current players will buy the platform(s) of their choice and buy games for it.

Post by: Momo on July 03, 2012, 09:56:00 AM
For something to sell as much as MonHun does there is no way there isnt a big chunk of people who got the game just because it happened to be 1)good and 2)on a platform they own. Outside of internet messageboards how many people would really own multiple platforms? Single handheld owners wont all have migrated.

We are talking about "real" fans of the games.  They shouldnt be giving a shit about what platform they are on.   I know i wouldnt.   The fans that wont swap over are system warriors, but who cares about them.   I think that is what Andrex and I are getting at.
Title: Re: MonHun Quattro for 3DS
Post by: Momo on July 03, 2012, 10:47:52 AM
I guess we'll see.  But I feel I should point out, we could use your *exact* sentence to describe, for example, FF6 to FF7, or DQ6 to DQ7.  The PSP is in its final phase in Japan, and PSP owners are doing their hardware upgrades now.  If Monster Hunter is a genuine phenomenon, they'll upgrade to a 3DS for the next one.  If it's not, well, I guess the series will die with the PSP, won't it?
I don't think it will die, i believe sales for MonHun 4 in particular will hit about 3 - 4 million. I believe sub 1million of those will be core fans that traveled specifically for MonHun and the rest will get it because 1)it is good 2) it is on a system they own. Of course the only way to get real insight into my theory would be to have a simultaneous releases across platforms, but yeah capcom :lol

"Real" fans as you put it are a smaller percentage of the whole of the PSP MonHun phenomenon. (This is my working theory). Those fans arent system warriors those are the primary audience everyone shoots at. Honestly just how many people do you think are multi console owners? Every popular franchise is popular because it reaches the casual fan. 
Title: Re: MonHun Quattro for 3DS
Post by: Momo on July 03, 2012, 10:53:24 AM
They're obviously not all on 3DS, but I expect most of them will follow.  Unless you MH fans are willing to acknowledge MH is just some sort of fad and *not* the equivalent of DQ, in which case I'll just be over here doing the Yangus Underpants Dance.

edit: Okay, so Momo seems willing to admit it.  Momes, I think you're really overestimating the degree to which the target audience gives a shit about this platform warfare. 
I think MonHun is far too young and volatile (my speculation we'll be able to readdress this in time) to fit comfortably alongside DQ. Do I think MonHun will stand the test of time saleswise? Absolutely not. But I'm sure as hell going to enjoy it while it is alive and kicking.
Title: Re: MonHun Quattro for 3DS
Post by: Momo on July 03, 2012, 11:09:38 AM
I think a better question to ask, Momo, is how many *families* own multiple handhelds.  And I would say, if there's a teenager in the house, and an elementary schooler, and a mom and dad who likely play games, and we're talking about Japan (we are, right?), I'd count about 5 handhelds right there if not more.
I haven't specifically attributed my thoughts to Japan alone, so I'd have to adapt my musings a bit given that constraint. Do we have further demographic breakdowns on who the average MonHun player is? I'm wondering if it would be people in a family situation such as the one you detail above or the 15 - 28 male perpetual bachelor/very young family like me. 

Title: Re: MonHun Quattro for 3DS
Post by: Momo on July 03, 2012, 11:41:40 AM
All your students are rich and despise the Vita :lol

Anecdotally in my case none of my MonHun friends seem prepared to jump to the 3DS or Vita at this point. Of about 9 of us with a PSP I alone have a Vita and one other has a 3DS. I will be joining the 3DS crowd with MonHun4 English. Everyone here is a pirate though, I get actively derided for buying games :-\

i completely agree that MH4 is going to be sales crazy time here in Japan - absolutely no doubt about it. 15,000 basic 3DS + MH4?! Mentioned it elsewhere but that's the Sony/Vita deadline to either come up with something amazing , ship a truckload of cash to Capcom for -something- or... i dunno... hope that whatever Ryozo is working on is also for the Vita? (i'm sure they'd already know)

Making a call on who the "real" fans of the game is difficult - as per Oscar there's people everyone here would think are "casual" Monster Hunter players then you talk to them and they drop in they're in the 2-3 THOUSAND hour bracket of play time on -one- version. I personally see myself as a "real fan" of monster hunter but i don't see how you can discount X million people you've never met.

I absolutely 100% agree that people who want to play Monster Hunter who played on the PSP will be buying a 3DS in the absence of any PSP/PSV announcement (I doubt anyone would die of shock if MH3rdP G gets announced for PSP at TGS) and i probably agree that most players don't care about the hardware as long as the game continues to have the familiar look. Even the twin stick thing is a red herring - people survived using the claw and, in fact, on the Vita with twin sticks as an option i still use "the claw"

Anyways, from my own short sighted ME ME ME view, here's my stance : I'm fucking sick of playing a game that looks little different from the first game in 2004. I moaned and moaned and moaned when MH3rdP was announced for PSP and vowed never to play it as i sulked - i played it and loved it. I'm sure the same will happen here again with MH4 but the game is abso-fucking-lutely perfect fodder for an upgrade. I'm trying to avoid the "should have been on Vita" but - fuck it - in a selfish world where i don't give a fuck about who else it sells to and given it's not a handheld platform series -IF- you own a Vita and a 3DS there is absolutely no earthly reason you would be cheering for it to be on the weaker of the two machines -if you own both- or -if you own neither- (dirt person reasons aside). But of course that's by the by - Capcom have a business to run, not a charity, and putting sales at risk wouldn't be a great idea (though the decision was apparently taken when MH3rdp was finished). That still doesn't change the core of my argument but hey. It really was great work by Nintendo to get this series - huge infact - and i'm sure someone at Sony is spanking incompetent arses with big leather shovel hands.

I dunno - perhaps it's easy for people like Andrex and crew who got interested at Tri to see why there's a -long running- issue with the game not really going anywhere visually. If MHTri is your only MH game to date then everything probably looks as fresh as it ever was... after MH, MHG, MH2, MH1P, MH2P, MH2PG, MHTri, MH3P, MHF, MH3G ? completely different outlook. The game is nice pretty environment with huge monsters - it's an ideal candidate for an upgrade. I'm personally thinking Next Gen Consoles rather than Vita, but i know that's about as likely as a bj from the pope. Let me dream , arseholes.

EDIT: Reread this - and other than me obviously looking like a complete whinge, i did make myself laugh at how i'm asking Nthings to try to understand the frustration of having a series of games look the same for 8 years - when they've obviously being living with that for -all- series for nearly 10 years (and, seemingly, loving it!)  :-*

As a ninthing i dont really care about graphics as long as he gamplay is changed.  The reason why you are complaining and Ninthings not is the fact that most games stay very similar to the original on the gaming front.  Then again i hate how they put mario on everything and how pokemon feels the same yet worse every revision.

I absolutely 100% agree that people who want to play Monster Hunter who played on the PSP will be buying a 3DS in the absence of any PSP/PSV announcement (I doubt anyone would die of shock if MH3rdP G gets announced for PSP at TGS) and i probably agree that most players don't care about the hardware as long as the game continues to have the familiar look. Even the twin stick thing is a red herring - people survived using the claw and, in fact, on the Vita with twin sticks as an option i still use "the claw"

How much does that have to do with your preference for the claw controls versus the fact those games weren't developed with the intention of a camera that rotates 360 degrees? I've tried to play MHFU with the second analog stick for camera controls and it's quite jarring simply because the camera wasn't made for those inputs. You have weird jumps that the camera makes to accommodate the lack of a second stick, and I don't like it. If there's ever a proper Monster Hunter for Vita I'd expect a real camera may change your mind.

it's a usage case thing - i've been using the claw on PSP for a while, hell the original MH on PS2 i was using the second analog stick for weapon attacks (as it was back then on default)

MH3rdP mapping the vita right stick to camera - i did it , but it just felt wrong because of what i was used to. It did it's job well enough though. Thing is i want to be always able to do 3+ things at a time - i want to be able to move the camera (left claw finger), move (left thumb), attack (right thumb), and be able to get quickly in and out of item creation menu (obviously only one at a time on right). I'm sure i could get used to an alternate control, but right now the Claw just feels like "home"

okay, the initial details that are apparently in Famitsu have me a little more excited.

the UTTER SHIT that is underwater combat is GONE! HUUUUUUUUURRAH!

and the monsters will use the multi leveled environment/env itself as part of the proceedings - so i can take a giant graphical downgrade if this really is going to evolve the game drastically in terms of AI and fight dynamics. At least then it can be a blueprint for building on.

More NPCs .... that's really not good for a handheld. I wanted to smash the 3DS playing MH3G, so if this is even wordier i might really hurt something.

seriously - this is why MH3rdP had it down pat - it was just minimal chatting and just straight into hunting.

No one gives a shit about story - it's an unwanted wall to kicking Evil Jho's fat f*cking green face from one end of a map to the other then <start button> kicking him in the face whilst he's in a trap.

bu bu bu tsunami angry fish god!!! WHOOOO FUUUUUCKING CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES?!


note: this is the beauty of the game - becoming skilled at taking down beasts. First time you -ever- see Evil Jho? a) oh shit b) then he wrecks you : Oh SHIIIIT

X many tries later when you are kicking ten bells of shit out of him as he limps off trying to avoid the inevitable death? WHO IS THE FUCKING DADDY NOW?!?

Well hey think of it this way - the game will look like an impressive improvement actually running versus those extra grainy artifacted images! But yeah those look like ass even by jpg standards. Are they direct scans from a magazine page?

the game looks like shit - just get used to it and we can start hoping/focusing on the vast AI/environmental overhawl this game is getting....

alternatively - we can start playing the funeral march on a once great series that Capcom just refused to ever update for the cutting edge and we can start fingerscrossing for the Gree card game ultimate version :/

you have to remember guys that it's the JPG format that is making this game look shite in every piece of media so far, including the rolling video demos.

it's not that it just looks shit, you are much betrayed by a file format!

I never came over Xenoblade. In fact I think I've posted here that playing it only made me go back to MH Tri.

mpl on GAF actually did say Youtube was making the game look worse than it'll be  :lol Visually the game is gross. It'll look better on the 3DS because the screen is smaller but that doesn't change the fact the graphics are still gross.

The more I hear about the game, from the village details to the wider areas and emphasis on verticality the more I forgive the glaring graphical shortcomings. In a perfect and fair world I'd obviously like both, but if I had to choose between textures and IQ OR the improvements they plan on introducing, I'd definitely sacrifice the former in favor of the latter. I know I'm gonna sound like the typical GAF nintard right now, but the game is sounding hotter by the day to the point I stopped giving a crap about how it looks.

But sweetheart there's no doubt about it, it *looks* like a hot mess. Spare me the compression, youtube, and screen size excuses because you KNOW it looks bad right now. We're still months away from the release, here's hoping they let it cook for a while.
