| Maraccuda said: There is always a possibility, but it depends if Capcom: A) Has the money/resources to make such a game (or find someone willing to fund it) B) Are willing to risk less sales on a smaller install base compared to the proven 3DS install base. C) Can even make a profit on such a game compared to previous installments. I would love a MH on home console again, loved MH3 on Wii U. Was great, even if it was just an upscaled port. Still want MH4 on Wii U. |
They certainly do. Monster Hunter scale wise is actually much smaller then Dragons Dogma which a huge sprawling open world and story cinematics. Moster Hunetr has more monster variety (+better artstyle) but cost wise I don't see a console version of MH being any more demanding on them then Dragons Dogma or DD ONline.
I think the question isn't so much of whether a console version could make a profit but more a case of why would they give up superior profits that can be found on a handheld platform? The franchise sales are 80% from Japan and they've clearly shown that they're more interested in a handheld MH then a console one. I think a turning point will come with the 3DS successor. If its close to Wii U strength, Capcom will most likely utilise its power, at which point they'll more or less be making a console quality assets and so I could see them making it cross platform with NX/PS4
