Yup, I had a very untasteful crow for lunch today.

But everybody got a piece too! I was expecting a lot, but even people who were expecting nothing got even less than nothing: Lost Planet 3

I just noticed that MH4 for 3ds still doesn't have a release date either.

Since both 3rd and Tri G were released in december, I think that's the new MH standard date. It's smart for them, for sure.

So Vita still has a TGS to drop the bomb

Hmmm....if that were to happen..I might be happy...still buying capcom used, but I would be very happy in a 3ds redesign.

I love how everyone acts as if they own Monster Hunter in some sort of way.
Also, the show sucked, there was nothing cool.

It's always the same, no? 

People get hyped up about these small events, expect a Monster Hunter Vita announcement, one is not announced, the event is called a 'failure' and how 'we should wait until E3'.

When E3 rolls around and one isn't shown, it'll be 'wait 'til TGS'. And so the cycle continues, until the inevitible release, in which case the fans can say 'hah! Told ya!' and feel happy. Even though the 3DS will have taken 75-80% of the market share away from the Vita at this time and so the game won't sell as well as the 3DS copy, blaming poor release date etc...

A guy asked for info on MH3G, and why it was not featured in Captivate and got this answer from a capcom exec:

"Alas, MH announcements tend to be made in Japan... as such, I have no news to share at this moment but you shouldn't be worried."

So, it's a hint it's coming...
But this could mean anything, not just the localization of 3G

Oh, I'm not worried, there's no doubt in my mind that 3G is going to get localized. It's guaranteed, sooner or later it'll come. It may not sell well, but it's guaranteed to sell better than... Rhythm Thief or Harvest Moon.

Shit we already knew about, the movie

Did you know that Lost Planet 2 sold 1,6 million units? Its had worse opening weeks on either the systems it came out than RE:Revelations. I'm pretty sure its selling within Capcom's expectations and i wouldnt be surprised to see it reach 1 million aswell a year from launch.

This whole thing saying RE sales on the 3DS is mediocre is just a plain premature comment, especially when the game has already sold 0,52m units and counting. I just dont see how you can interpret these early results as disappointing unless you wrongly comparing it to home consoles.

This last generation brought on the stigma that a game needs to sell 1 million units to be a sucess. That only applies to big budget releases on the Home consoles. It doesnt apply to every single game from now onwards.

The assets used to develop RE:Revelations were shared with RE mercenaries and its an engine originally used for Super Street fighter 4 3D edition. So, there was no development of a new engine and the game's areas span a boat. The game looks incredible and is prett good, but its easy to tell that a game like this probably makes a profit at 200k units. It really isnt the same thing as developing an HD game with state of the art physics and animations.

Capcom also went on record on the week the game released to say they were pleased with the sales. Chances are we will see more RE on the 3DS on the future. Its easy money with low risk for capcom.
