I don't see it happening

Monster hunter + PS3 slim + HD graphics + proper online functionality + cheaper PS3 = very likely to happen and appeal to it's fans enough to make it a success...

I honestly don't see why it can't happen, especially now that Capcom have the framework engine 2 which incorporates PS3 tools and libraries to make development nice and easy and fast with great results.

Erm, the same can be said for the DS but it isn't getting a MH.


Would a DS MH even be good first of all?



Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

The Adventures Of Duane and Brando

the DS is just inferior when it comes to rendering 3D, there are games that do it and they look like a pixel mess with way low textures, in any case that's not the point, the point of this thread is the potential for Monster hunter to come to the PS3 in the future, I'm simply putting down some points that would make it plausible.

A PS3 MH, if it ever happened, would release after MH3. By then the MH fanbase would be on the Wii, so why switch?

That's like saying they can put MH on DS. I mean, it doesn't have the MH fanbase yet, but it'll get it right? Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense when your fanbase is on one system already.

After MH3, the fanbase will still be on PSP. Especially whenever MHF3 releases and sells more 3 million.

FF14 is probably going to own the online RPG gaming part as usual on console or PC in Japan, not MH of any kind. PSP versions are adhoc after all and can't be compared to a service you have to pay for on consoles.

I don't think that FFXIV is anything like MH....I could be wrong since FFXIV hasn't shown any gameplay and MH isn't even in production for the PS3 as of yet to my knowledge. x.o

right, but we know 14's coming, they are both RPGs, the difference is one is MMO which the other is not, but they are online RPGs, and FF14 is confirmed already. yes, I know you can play MH offline all by yourself, though I don't see much point to the game that way tbh, the idea that MH would dominate Japan online RPG on a non portable platform is quiet unlikely is my point, not to mention FF14 will be on PC as well. MH3 is uh, it'll do reasonably well in Japan, outside of Japan though, it's more like testing the waters, I for one won't play it unless the service is reasonably cheap because I might as well go back to WoW otherwise. that's also why I said PS3 only owners better pray MH3 is going to do well outside Japan if they ever want to see a new PS3 MH for real.

Capcom likes money. They decided to put Monster Hunter Tri on Wii because it was the dominant platform in Japan, where MH has the most weight. Now that the PS3 is gaining steam and is encroaching on that Nintendo dominance, they (being Capcom) have a fiscal incentive to considering bringing the series to the PS3. I'd wager that if the PS3 continues to rack up sales in the territory, that we will see a MH on said system.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Super Mario 3D Land

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Never say never? It was SUPPOSED to be PS3 exclusive, and they canned the entire project. Not even a muliplat release, but rather, no release at all.

This is taken with less than a grain of salt

@dude

well, I'm pretty sure it's already confirmed that Wii is once again out selling the PS3 this year in Japan by now(total sold) after new software or bundles stopped effecting the PS3 sales, the install base gap will only increase, not decrease as of now.

MH3 is not necessarily an MMO. There's a difference. That's like saying that Halo 3 was doomed because Call of Duty exists.

you bring up another good point(which I already included in that post =P I called it Online, not MMO,) but keep in mind that you need to pay for playing online for MH3 just like any good MMO, will it offer as much as MMOs? what's the monthly price? extra thought steps need to take into consideration when they want you to pay that money, which is not something a shooter needs to worry about. if you have to pay to play for a long time, it either has to justify the price or it needs the content of MMOs. If the thing called "price tag" wasn't an issue, PS3 would be dominant already.
