Monster Hunter was released on March 11, 2004

> I don't expect another handheld game until 2020 or 2021 at the earliest
Why would it take the XX team 4 years to make a new game? That said with iceborn launching in fall time I expect handheld mh to come out between february and late spring of next year at the earliest.

Switch has a pretty crazy power gap compared to the other consoles and PC, I don't see the World style open maps working with it, so they'll have to redo a lot of the game. on top of that I think Capcom learned from XX and the western GU release to not make releases so close to each other, so they'll delay a game, even if it's near completion, to mid-2020 at the earliest to prevent sale cannibalization

>I don't see the World style open maps working with it
If they can get BotW's open world working, why not? They obviously wouldn't be as detailed as World's maps, but they don't really need to be.

because BOTW runs at near 30 fps at all times with very little going on in terms of graphics and background processes, World ran at 25 and below on a base ps4, MT Frameworks is being pushed hard and obviously isn't meant to handle all of the shit going on, even if you strip it down to it's bare essentials I really doubt that a Switch, even in docked form, could handle the game at all, which is why they would have to rework pretty much everything

I mean, the comparison to World isn't that important though, since the idea isn't to port World over to the Switch, it's to make another game that's more of a successor to the 3DS ones.

>Switch title
i fucking hope not

>fight a giant monster in slut wear
whats the lore behind this

>What are you expecting they'll announce?
A Switch game [they started making one in 2017/early 2018] alongside the full reveal of Iceborne.

Why? Considering they're still supporting World, it's not like you'd lose out on anything from them making a Switch game.

because monster hunter finally moved to real hardware? why would they go back to shitty handhelds

He's a platform warrior fuckwit who doesn't want to buy a Switch to play the newest Monster Hunter.

Because Capcom wants more money? The fuck kind of retarded question is this, you can develop a series on multiple consoles.

why should i have to buy a console for babies just to play monster hunter?

You don't have to. Don't play the game if you don't want.

MonHun is technically post-apocalyptic. There was a war between the ancient civilization and the dragons. As part of the war, the ancient civilization created genetically enhanced supersoldiers strong enough to take on the dragons. Even in the ruined aftermath of the war, those supersoldiers lived on and became the ancestors of modern day Hunters. Wearing armor made from parts of deceased Monsters allows Hunters to draw on the strengths of the monster in question.

In short, how the armor looks is less important than what it's made of, because you're not so much wearing it for actual protection as you are wearing it for allowing you to copy from the Monster's biology.

>Why would they want to sell video games to a market they aren't currently selling video games to
Hard to say. It would make a lot of sense if they wanted money though.

Please stop with this non nonsensical Vaati-tier bullshit

They'll obviously want to bring something like World over considering the sales data, coming from one of the worst selling modern MH games to the best selling capcom game of all time is bound to turn some corporate heads, they'll either make it work or fail hard trying, I really don't see the series going back to the way it was before.

It's not nonsense, it's straight up the explicit lore.
The ancient civilization was so fucked up they even stitched together a frankensteinian monster made from elder dragons to use as a bioweapon.

concept art is not "lore"

The ancient civilization and dragon wars are basically canon. If you play MH:F it's much more clearly explained.

I agree that some of his post is silly though. I don't think Hunters are using Kirby-like copy abilities when using armor.

>DMC5 cross over event(game comes out 3 days before anniversary)
>maybe a suave sparda suit or somthing+sparda gs? since they made force edge turn into alastor for some reason

Nah. Unless the DMC5 collab is for Iceborne, we won't get one. Capcom said T. Nerg is the final update to base MHW.

Yeah, something "like" World doesn't mean it's got to be on par with World technologically. They can adapt some of the relevant mechanical elements, but they wouldn't be building the Switch version with World as a base or anything.

I didnt mean right away, just announcing it being a thing coming soonTM
Would be a nice iceborne first cross over event
I would suggest adding some demon from DMC as a monster but not many of them would fit that I can think of

Frontier's a lot more open about it than the mainline games, but even the mainline games have shit like

>Iceborne trailer, first look at content and gameplay, release date
>super early teaser or logo for MH Switch, release 2020. No classic style, but a light version of MHW
>surprise content for MHW, maybe the Fatalis they rumored about
>new size comparison trailer

MHW has a lot of lore in its main story...

Dude, just put in Goliath. He'd fit just fine.

That's a dubious claim. All we know is that Atlal-ka is smart enough to make it's own mech.

It certainly hints more towards the dragon war than any previous "mainline" Monster has, but again: Frontier has already basically canonized the dragon war and ancient civ.

out of all the demons from the franchise the ones that I thought most likely
>phantom
>griffon
>the gorilla from 2(goliath could work inplace and work work more since its an actual 5 boss)
>leviathan
>cerberus
>beowulf
>geryon without the carriage
I just feel it would be weird having enemies that could canonically speak though

So this girl do nudes?

The series is dead, MHW casualized it to the pont that it doesn't even resemble a MH game.

R.I.P. Monster Hunter

same but since P3rd

Non canon shitty spin off game made by fags who went to b team after leaving frontier

RIP Monster Hunter. Dead and gone. What a shame.

I hope the anniversary announcement is good. I look forward to a new Switch game, but I still have lots of stuff to do in GU.

>Non canon
lmao

Can't wait for the Switch port of MHW to be announced.

>MH Switch is coming soon. After all, B team finished GU 4 years ago!
>implying both teams were not working on MHW together and are now developing Iceborne

3ds update never
did the western phone version ever get the extra content?

I mean it will look like absolute garbage but the game can scale down pretty hard and maybe run on it like it does on some shitty laptop with a graphics card which is the power of the switch

Atal’s mech is explicitly made from weapons and other rubble it’s ripped off of human fortifications, even without the mech it still whips out its collection of dragonators and other junk to hurl at you

>tfw no 3U, 4U or XX on Vita

It's described as being a "huge, ruined castle" that Ahtal raids other fortresses for wreckage to add onto. There was definitely something at the core of it that Ahtal didn't build itself, but appropriated for its own purposes.

vita is a bigger joke than the switch

>Monster Hunter Frontier Switch
CALLING THAT FUCKING HAIL MARY RIGHT HERE. DRAGON'S DOGMA AND MONSTER HUNTER ON THE SAME CONSOLE THAT'S PORTABLE!!??!

>Still haven't shown Joker's gameplay yet
No.
>Rathalos already took the Monster Hunter Slot
>Reggie said all newcomers are from franchises not represented
NO.
>This won't happen
NOW SHUT UP

>Reggie said all newcomers are from franchises not represented
Moron.

>These are going to be characters that are new to the series, just like Joker from Persona 5. Characters that you would not anticipate to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
CHARACTERS that are new to the series. Not "characters from franchises" that are new to the series.

>Characters that are new to the series
CUE
THEM
FE
REPS

fuck off back to the millions of threads that you already have

They will show some DLC content + 1 new weapon
Maybe the rumored Switch game

Putting Rathalos in Smash was a dick move by Sakurai just to spite threads like these.

cant wait for iceborne to take 6 months to release and only have 5 new monsters.

If they make a Switch title, please Capcom

> Make it celshaded or vividly colorful ala BotW
> GIVE US BotW'S UNIVERSAL CLIMBING
> Bring back styles and HAs
> Bring back Apex Monsters! Hyper monsters' dark cloud puffing out of specific regions looked sloppy, they can stay home.
> Bring back free hunts in the Everwood along with excavation of Relics
> Give the Egg Syndicate a bigger presence
> Bring back Atlal-ka

Other than that, please surprise me and not make it feel like a discount Monhun like Generations/U felt (though they did a fantastic job with what they had to work with)

I'd be excited for Iceborne but I fucking hate World's endgame
>>hurr just facetank everything while running a max damage build

plus the obligatory 6 month pc delay

lmao this smells like a European post

Well to be fair it would allow me to be less annoyed with how strong and durable our characters are.

>150 foot drop off a sheer cliff and super hero landing onto solid rock
>no dmg

I guess since this is a MH thread, how is Leshen to fight? I really haven't liked World's post-release stuff as it's mostly just aoe flinging monsters that feel like they're right out of frontier, do leshen and ancient leshen have have that same problem?

>Capcom
>Giving the Switch a new game
Come on guys, have you seen Capcom's Switch support? Its awful. Its been nothing but old ports, 70% of the time digital only because Capcom doesn't wanna shell out for carts.

They just announced 3 old Resident Evil games for it, coming out the exact same day, and only 1 is available physically. Oh and they're selling it for 60 bucks too.

Capcom has no interest in supporting the Switch other than blatant lazy cashgrabs for a quick buck.

Fuck you snoy faggot I hope Google kills off sony just for the sake of it

cross-platform play

never going to happen when any company has a big enough market share, sony doesn't want to share any slice of their pie just like microsoft last gen

how?

MH Switch with World gameplay, no scoutflies, segmented maps with World graphics, less focus on story, no MMO AoE spam endgame, old skills system

Nintendo fags think Capcom is dumb enough to announce a title that will cannibalize Iceborne sales. Kek this is a company that won't even announce localization to avoid hurting mhw.

Capcom already confessed they thought the Switch was going to flop and weren't going to have any exclusives ready for it until 2019 at earliest. Announcing a new portable Monster Hunter game now makes perfect sense.

They announced GU would get localized long before it was released.

Xbox 360 power is all you need for a decent open world everything after that is just fluff and the Switch is far stronger than that. MH doesn't even need an open world just an open section like World is more than enough.

>Open area with no loadscreens or only 1 or 2 in the map at most
>standard MH gameplay that's been solid since the PSP days
>Small quality of life improvements like not needing to loot a map every quest, improved inventory management, improved looting and perhaps simpler or more intuitive monster tracking over paintballs but not necessarily scout flies

There's your Monster Hunter 5. 60fps or at least unlocked framerate like MH4U and World would be sweet. A PC port would also be great cause why not, everything is on PC these days including MH.

I think theyll announce some content that wont see the light of day on PC until 6 months after release, again.

and don't act like the PC port isn't a fucking mess
nobody's forcing you to buy it, faggot. not like you can since mommy won't buy you a second console

They said there's no plan to localize the game at E3 2017 to avoid hurting MHW. It wasn't until May 2018 three months after mhw release did they finally announced the localization. Are you seriously gonna pretend Nintendo fags weren't mad during that time? Kek.
Same thing again this year. The plan for 2019 is Iceborne nothing else.

Why did the MH team make the PC port themselves instead of handing it over to one of the more competent Capcom teams?

Who cares? The franchise is already dead because of World

I'm guessing because capcom is retarded

or theyre smart and they know they can get away with it and people will still buy it, even though the PC Launch and updates was and have been nothing but a shit show

MHTeam is basically its own separate entity within Capcom because Ryozo is the CEO's son, so I guess he wanted his team to get more experience with porting shit on top of being a megajew and wanting people to double dip

that's the worst part user
the MH team IS the most competent Capcom team

>tfw you realize QLOC, the team that ported DDDA to PC, would've been a prime choice to port World to PC, except Bamco had them doing the Dark Souls Remaster
And just look at how much worse the Dark Souls Remaster was compared to DDDA's port. Bamco had extremely stringent rules QLOC had to follow for DSR, where Capcom gave them a lot more breathing room.

ancient leshen is like the king of aoes.

I want to say they should’ve used the team that ported drag dog to pc but then I remembered they have them busy porting it to every console and some fridges in existence.

Maybe they'll announce a remake of MH1 that won't be casual shit like XX and World.

>XX
>casual shit
lmao

Nigga what?

MH went to shit after 2nd Gen
>underwater with Tri
>Y axis with 4
>easy mode with X
>casualization with World
Yah nah, the PSP was the only good MH system.

The games already been out for over a year and is already a massive critical and financial hit. Are you seriously telling me announcing a new game on a completely separate console to world is gonna hurt an expansion dlc that will be cheaper and for the game players already own? Not to mention World being frequently discounted.

I found she's got a patreon, but can't tell if she's got nudes

All I fucking want is for them to release all the console content on PC. It's literally a copy and paste job. No really, LITERALLY copy and paste. The files are fucking identical.

fuck you wait half a year because
