So my thoughts. I don't think the game he is working on for ps4 is monster hunter. And if it is, it will be a dragon quest heroes type spin off.
Which leads me to my prediction. Sony are in a position of power. 30m sold already. Xbox stalling. Wii U failed sales wise and is getting replaced. The 3DS while not a monster was a monster in Japan and that's all that matters to capcom. Vita is not getting a successor so will do a few more million in Japan but nothing special.
So 3DS which is the ps4's main obstacle to this franchise is on its way out. Nintendo will have a tough transition considering the iron grip mobile has on the worldwide market.
At the very least I expect a dragon quest situation with monster hunter. Sony know they can't keep it off a Nintendo handheld and I doubt capcom want it.
So they'll look for spin offs and console versions.
-Monster hunter frontier online is in development for ps4
-Monster hunter online China devs hinted at porting this to ps4 when they're done with the pc version. (note this is different to frontier).
-I predict they'll do a monster hunter heroes type masou game.
-Monster hunter builders (minecraft clone if dragon quest builders is a hit)
-Monster hunter 5 gets the dq11 treatment. Ps4 gets the enhanced version while the handheld gets its version.
One thing I can guarantee you. monster hunter is returning to Playstation (not exclusively) and you'll hear more about it in the next 12 months
