Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Monster Hunter Frontier Online confirmed for Xbox 360

Hey, sure am glad to see that people can determine how it's gonna be before it's already out!



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Weird...

No PS3 version?

Expect a PS3 version.

Give me your crystal ball.

 

@OT

I would buy this game. This game is constantly updated and it will have separate servers from the PC version (so we can expect differences).

There's a very high chance this will come to PS3.

Unless you weren't being sarcastic about your reply to me.

lol, there's almost zero chance.  It's not a big enough deal for Sony to go after, and it's not a big enough deal to look enticing for Capcom.

If Sony's smart, they'll try to get 3G ported to PS3 Basara 3 style.  Which they probably won't...

It's been out for the PC for the last 2.5 years.

I think what Microsoft is doing is trying to get Japanese XBox360 users onto XBox Live Gold.  Get them to buy the game, give them XBox Live Gold for paying to play MHF, and show them what online gaming is all about.  That's why I'm almost certain that this game won't be showing up on the PS3 any time soon.  Microsoft is certainly one of the main proponents of getting MHF onto the XBox360.  And it's also why I doubt the game will show up in the west.

I think the game is going to flop though.  Monster Hunter PSP sold well, but it's portable and it doesn't require you to pay to play.  Monster Hunter Tri is selling pretty well, but you can play it offline (online play is pay to play, cheaper than MHF, but doesn't get updated).  This game is Monster Hunter, except you have to pay to play it.  Yea, they update the game, but you end up paying $180 a year to play it.  I would much rather buy a game now for $60, play it for free, then pay another $60 when you have a proper sequel in a year or 2.  MHF seems like the biggest scam, and definitely worse than the worst of DLC like the Oblivion horse armor (at least you can just not buy DLC).  My opinion of course.

High chance? Give me the reasons.

Come on, man. It's just predictions. If you look at the circumstances, you'll see there's many things working against it.

 

1. It's a late PC port.

 

2. Pay to play over XBL gold if I'm not mistaken (and if that's the case, some people are certainly going to get pissy).

 

3. It's on the Xbox 360, the console with the least marketshare in Japan.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Microsoft could pay for the exclusivity. 

And wait! You said it has hiiiigh chance, you must have some good reasons, can you share with us?

I guess the Wii wasn't up to the hardware requirements? Only reason to split the console fanbase that I can think of. This isn't quite the major announcement I was expecting.

i dont think that was the reason :p... u know even if microsoft have the requirements there is another console with higher install base and just sold over 1.9 million FF 13

There's also a console with a million Monster Hunter fans on it. Getting a second Monster Hunter game (even if it's a PC port) would be a stronger incentive for more of the PSP crowd to get a Wii than two different console games spread out over the two consoles least owned by "gamer game gamers" Are Japanese gamers really going to want to have to buy all three consoles? There are probably some Japanese gamers out there saying "craptastic! I already got a DS, PSP and PS3, I just bought a Wii for Monster Hunter and I STILL can't get the next monster hunter game!?"



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
