| cycycychris said: I don't see Capcom leaving the 3DS with out a huge payment from Sony, Vita is doing ok in Japan but no where around the line of 3DS. They also want to get the customers outside of Japan into MH and the Vita is near dead outside of Japan. But the PS4 would probably be the perfect console for out of Japan. While the Wii U right now seems to be the better choice for Japan. But that could change over time. Nintendo is currently the ones that money hatted them to the 3DS. I really don't see them lossing MH. Imo, multiplat would be the best for this game, but Capcom can get Nintendo or SOny to pay them to release the game only on there console, that sounds like an awesome deal. On the Microsoft comment, I just cannot see Capcom letting there game onto Xbone exclusive. The family of systems barely sells in Japan and would piss of there fans and possibly ruin the franchise. |
The series is multiconsole in a sense, but it won't be a true multiconsole series, ever. Capcom even stated that. I think it'll be multiconsole with one brand and that's it.
“The way that we work with Monster Hunter games is that we see them as single entities,” Monster Hunter creator Ryozo Tsujimoto told IGN at the Tokyo Video Games Show, ”so we don’t develop for one platform and then think about porting it to another platform. The situation with the 3DS and the Wii U is that we wanted people to play this game a lot, so that’s why we have taken this [multi-platform] approach with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. But it doesn’t mean we’ll do that with new entries."
Also, we all know Nintendo moneyhatted the series onto their console, but here is the bogus explanation that Capcom gave.
“The series did start out on Sony platforms, but it’s just realistic to think that it can’t continue on one platform forever,” Tsujimoto continued. “With Monster Hunter 4, it actually just came down to timing – we were developing a new Monster Hunter and the 3DS hardware had just come out, so we figured it was probably the best platform for us to develop it on. You have two screens, with action on top and menus on the bottom, and there’s the 3D view as well. It just made sense to put it onto 3DS.”
Thankfully the PS4 just came out in Japan, and they're already done with Monster Hunter 4, so it all comes down to timing. And hey, like the first quote states, the only reason they'll take this game multiplatform is because they want people to play it a lot. So it'll also beo n the PS3 and Vita. :P.
