New lands to explore

Legs and bodies done, now for the heads

Just last week a Capcom representative teased Monster Hunter news, but it seems that today we have some more solid information from series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. Speaking to Weekly Famitsu (as reported by Andriasang), Tsujimoto stated that 3DS title Monster Hunter 4 is about 60% complete, meaning the developers still have some work to do ahead of the projected Spring 2013 release in Japan.

In the same feature Tsujimoto also reportedly discussed plans to move the Monster Hunter series into other media, but reiterated that including a story had become important in the console games since Monster Hunter Tri; it's previously been said that the new entry will build on the relatively sparce plot of the Wii title with a greater sense of adventure.

There's little doubt that Capcom will be releasing a lot of details over the coming months in Japan and, if we're lucky, elsewhere as well.

Soon. Soon my pretties.

When do they start work on the textures?

"Tsujimoto stated that 3DS title Monster Hunter 4 is about 60% complete, meaning the developers still have some work to do ahead of the projected Spring 2013 release in Japan."

Cmon spurge, you've got to be setting examples for us newbs. 

I'm predicting this: It'll be ready Spring 2013.

You just wait people. I'm going to be right.

Only 60% ready? That's not much. If they want to get it ready next spring, they have to work faster. But in that case, I would prefer they delay the game, because rushed development may hurt the quality.

That's plenty enough of time to port it on the Vita trololl

Whats that? I thought that platform was already dead. :P

I'm going to guess a Summer 2013 release.

I'm going to say spring 2012

Edit: After putting some serious thought into my post above, I have come to the conclusion that spring 2012 is not possible because it has already passed.

And 3G is 100% done, Capcom!
