Forums - Sony - Will Monster Hunter be on PS3?

Capcom said they won't do MH for PS3 because the production cost was too high... but in March, Sony announced that their develop kits will be cheaper.

Do you think Capcom will bring us MH?

I think Sony must talk to Capcom, MH is a religion in Japan and is selling good in NA and EU.

 

The cost of development kits isn't the reason the PS3 is expensive to develop for.  It's expensive for the same reasons the PS2 was expensive -- exotic hardware with an odd setup -- and it's more expensive than the PS2 because it is a newer gen.

The PS3 could get a spinoff somewhere down the line...but I doubt it. Monster Hunter exists in 3 specific forms: The console originals (PS2 -> Wii), handheld hand-me-downs (PSP), and Monster Hunter Frontier for the PC. There's no room for the PS3.

I'm hoping a Monhan 3 Portable :)

The best part about the portable iterations is, playing Ad-Hoc on the go and the joy of hunting with your friends :)

I'm not that excited about the Wii version, since it actually kills the 2 greatest aspects of the game....

 

Hence why i'm REALLY hoping for a PSP release of Monhan 3 :)

It's pretty obvious that #3 won't come to PS3. Maybe another will one day, though.

 

I'm thinking along these lines also.

exists in 3 forms? so they can't make it 4? or 5?

it's capcom , there will always be a room for ps/xbox.

While I think the wii version will do well,

it#s be cool to see a MH where both psp and ps3 players could play together.

Read it again.

Consoles are already covered by the first form. There's no point in a PS3 or 360 game.

A 4th or 5th form would be like...cellphones or something.

I read what u wrote and it says there is no room for ps3 because it's not on the wii which isn't right.

Monster Hunter i, on the FOMA 900i and 902i.

I've tried it :), decent game.

But went with the p905i later, which has Gundam :D

No because MH is a Japanese oriented game, and Capcom gives the HD consoles games that can do well both in Japan and the West. They dont take any risks at all, that's why you won't be seeing games like Sengoku Basara or Monster Hunter for the HD consoles. On the other hand Wii has a huge Japanese userbase, it's easier to develop for and cheaper. So Wii is the only way to go, if we ignore PS2 of course. MH is never going to happen in Japan for PS3, they have already cancelled the project and the fanbase will be built on the Wii. On the other hand Wii will not get any other big franchise from Capcom, so dont feel too bad.
