Monster Hunter XX coming to Switch

I have to be honest, I......am not nearly as enthused for this announcement as I thought I would be. When it wasn't announced as any part of the Switch's launch bonanza with how closely the original XX's release date was, I kind of wrote off the hype I would've had. Now it just feels like it's going to be an extremely dated-looking release and another half-measure by Capcom trying to dip their toe into the system's ecosystem without actually committing much of anything.

Some parts of Generations were already looking kind of rough on the 3DS, I have a hard time imagining this is going to look terribly impressive on the Switch's screen. Then again...I guess I survived 3 Ultimate well enough. I'll still get this if they localize it, but at this point I was hoping that Monster Hunter's arrival on Switch would be something much fresher and more impressive.
 
Why gross? The series has been stuck with ps2 visual for long enough. Tri HD was okay but again suffered from being a HD port of a game built for a tiny screen. Like fuck the text size, the weird loading between areas. Etc

At E3 Capcom will finally bring monster hunter to the modern era. On PS4 that is. And might finally increase the audience for the series in the west that is.
Haha. Nah. Monster Hunter on Switch will look just fine and ~modern~

A port of XX was pretty much a given, right? Hope it doesn't look like shit.

Waiting for MH 5 though. Series needs a big revamp.

Last Monster Hunter game I played was on Wii U, my hand just can't adapt to the 3DS for this IP.
I already own a Pro Controller so can't wait for this to be localized (hopefully announcement at E3)

Where were you with all the Switch port begging in nearly every single game release thread?

This one is nowhere near the amount of Switch port begging in this whole forum

he IS the port begging lmao
god i hope this is a parody

Anyway, a blind man could've seen this coming, but I didn't expect them to announce it so soon. Maybe it'll be releasing sooner than I thought. Gonna be nice for me since I didn't touch any of the MHs on the arthritis inducer so it'll all be brand new, even if it looks like the monster designs have dropped off a cliff.

I don't think switch is going to get a port of the monster hunter PS4. Not at least for a while.

While switch gets xx, PS4 will get next open world monster hunter game. Will it be titled MH5? Not sure maybe it will be a spin-off title.

Switch port could come later of MHps4 just like dragon quest 11

I think it's going to be Westernized MH with movie ties.

No Original MH gameplay but simple monster hunting action game set in modern era.

+ I also think it will release on every major platform even Switch.

Hilarious. Like Switch fans don't pop up in every thread possible going "Switch port? Switch port?" Foh.

Where have you been since Monster Hunter came to the Wii and became exclusive to 3DS? The Monster Hunter port begging for a PS4 release even clogs up sales threads where people are just trying to discuss sales and numbers.

So what kinds of visual upgrades do you think they'll apply? (Hi-res textures, texture filtering, enhanced lighting/shadows, particle effects, 1080p docked/720p handheld, 60fps, AA, etc)

Well this is certainly good news. I may finally have some games to play on my Switch, it won't be until next year but good news nonetheless.

Weird considering that this game is gonna print money.

I don't know about that. It's a port of a game that already sold over a million two months ago on 3DS. I don't see it selling gangbusters or being as big as a lot of posts here seem to imply.

To me, this is more of a move to get it out in the west on a more relevant system.

People have been derailing monster hunter threads with playstation anxiety since it moved to nintendo, way before the switch was a twinkle in miyamoto's eye.

and supposedly if the big hd "real" PS4 MH is really coming then why is it even being brought up here? y'all are about to get your meal so go sit down somewhere

Probably hoping for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe numbers in Japan.
 
Im happy, and not complaining but god plz dont make the switch a system of (ports).

Does this mean if we are getting a new monster hunger, mario kart, smash, that we are getting them in 3 years?

So what's the point you're trying to make? He never said PS4 owners don't port beg.

Pretty sure they leaked the Nintendo Jan Press Conference.
You can't ragard an anonymous imageboard as "they" and as a single source. One person that leaked Switch Presentation could be different from the one who posted MH rumour. Not to mention the former have no restriction whatsoever to post bullshit if they feel like it and get out unscathed. 4chan isn't gaf and lots bullshit come out from that place than genuine article'
 
Hey y'all.

1) Leave the "Monster Hunter for PS4" speculation out of this thread. Gets folks riled up.

2) Calm down.

3) We frown upon port-begging. Speculation about a completely different game isn't quite port-begging, but it is annoying, hence the first message.

4) You don't want gaming mods to go hard as hell on port-begging, especially in regards to the Switch. Relax. If you have a problem, point it towards a mod. Even if I don't handle gaming side, I can pass it to another mod who will.

They're saying this because of that big 4chan rumour otherwise there wouldn't have been much of this talk

During the early years of Vita and 3DS and the 3/4 Monster Hunter rumours, I learned to take the latter as what they are.... coping mechanisms.

Guessing here on what sounds most realistic:

-Hi-res textures
Yes
-Texture filtering
Yes
-Enhanced Lighting/Shadows
Nah
-1080p60FPS Docked 720p60FPS Handheld
Yee
-AA
Nah (maybe some kind of post processing on docked mode to help with some jaggies)
-Etc
HD Rumble, Gyro Aim for bows/guns/etc

I won't mind.
