MH4 - Ps3

MHP4 -- NGP

Unparalleled inter connectivity between the two will be present.

going to say wii/3ds

they already have an engine for the wii and 3ds is so similar i see this as the method with the least development costs

the wii version sold great, and if they can even tap into a sliver of pokemon sales on a nintendo handheld they would be estatic.

That above is no bias at all, just stating from a profit stand point.  personally would love to see what a monster hunter game would look like on say ps3 in graphics and world.

MH3 for PS3 has been canceled because of the high production costs. These have not changed.

Perhaps MH4 will go to Wii again, but most likely to the 3DS or both.

so then why did they bother making resident evil, lost planet, street fighter and all the other games they made for ps3?

none of them performed as well as monster hunter on ps3 would have.

infact lemme check the stats on MH psp, i think even that outsold capcoms ps3 games....

EDIT: monster hunter unite japan WW = 4.1 million.

thats more than street fighter super street fighter IV ps3 world wide (they come to 2.91)

thats more than resident evil 5 ps3 world wide (3.84 million)

thats more than lost planet 1& 2 on both xbox and ps3 (3.6m)

 

so even if development costs were high, it would have more than paid off and would have been one of the few ps3 games to pass 5m units. and when they say high im sure they dont mean as high as gran turismo or MGS4 because it doesnt require that level of R&D and technology....they wouldnt even have to market it, 1 youtube video would be good enough.

If it comes out on whatever platform, I'm getting it because I feel like beating a new MH game again. It was fun.

Sony will make sure that MHP4 is exclusive to the NGP... at least in japan =)

lol MH3 wouldn't have sold 5 mil on the PS3. MHFU sold as much as it did because it's a handheld MH.  Look at how MH3 on the Wii sold, that gives a better picture.

Also lol at one Youtube vid...with MH3 they wanted the series to be more popular over here. They advertised MH3 and it sold almost 800k in US/EU. Would've sold much less with crappy marketing.

Also is there any reason why people are saying PS3 when MH3 sold well? Assuming the game comes out this gen. In Japan the Wii still has no problem selling larger titles, and the connectivity factor isn't a big deal since the Wii can connect to the 3DS, if the 3DS got MHP4. Connectivity hasn't been important to the series anyway. So what's the reason?

look at jrpgs they sell better on the ps3. their are countless examples. i do think that mh3 would have sold better on ps3. also it would have sold better in the west on ps3. that is if it got good reviews. and with an easier online system it would have been very fun.

yes its not going to do 5 million. but it could do 3 if not more. unite didnt do bad on psp considering its one of the most pirated consoles of all time. second to the ps2.

when it comes to mh4 i want them on ps3/ps4 and the portable version on ngp because thats where i want to play them.(even though il be having a 3ds)



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

your assuming theres no difference between the games ps3 users like and the games wii users like.

how many complex games do you see on wii compared to ps3?

the target market for monster hunter simply isnt on nintendo systems so even though theres less ps3's theres more people that would buy monster hunter on ps3.

as for connectivity, co-op is much more important than SP in MH. people only play SP to practise and gather items and stuff but co-op is where the real fun is and it will sell a lot of 3g NGP's if monster hunter is a lunch title (maybe its the existing psp one, not a new one)

Monster Hunter would've had the same online system whereever it went. It runs on its own servers



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Someone hasn't played Tri. I wouldn't mind a better online system though but there isn't really anything wrong about Tri's online, but It coulda been better and it still wasn't really bad either. I've played Tri for 500 hours and I gotta say it is the most time I've put into a Wii game's online.  The online mode is accessible and very easy in Tri. Did you play it? if you did, did you spend 200 hours on it?
