Monster Hunter 4 delayed until summer in Japan
- Thread starter Hobby
- Start date
Probably not gonna happen. Capcom will see how bad Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate bombs in March and decide it isn't worth it unless Nintendo chips in.

I love how this news suddenly became more relevant to SS/Vita lol.
Yeah, "respond to expectations" sounds weird. Did fans express any negative feedback after any public showing or is this a general "quality improvement" statement? I could be taking an iffy translation too literally too lol.

Q1 looking a lot flimsier for Nintendo now.
And yeah, at least Soul Sacrifice managed to dodge the oncoming slaughter.

maybe nintendo learned when the successor to the vita is launching and asked capcom to delay the game until then.

So you're saying Monster Hunter 4's been cancelled.

Someone was just here the other day 'almost wishing' MH4 was coming out later so he could spend more time on 3HD.... LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
Well, there's the atrocious graphics for one.
Thanks. :/

Why would there be a 3DSi when there is a LL/XL?
I was thinking the same thing...
Considering that MH3G is (and MH4 will be) running on Nintendo's servers,
there's no way that Nintendo never new this was coming.
My guess is that it is actually Nintendo that has asked Capcom to delay it.

There's always reasons to make new versions of things. XL isn't shorthand for ultimate final form just because it happened to be the last DS model.

Sony paid Capcom to do this

Maybe now they can give SS a chance....... Who am I kidding. They're just you're typical dudebros but with MH.
I dont think people should be expecting this to be some big hit which saves the vita.

Pretty much this. I really hope that they're making a WiiU version as well to complement the 3DS version. I am extremely hyped for the 3G WiiU-3DS cross play functionality.

200K sales should be the ceiling for it. 100-150k should be realistic expectations.

Soul Sacrifice:
God Eater 2: WTF MAN
Also, Soul Sacrifice won't be some mega-hit that saves the Vita. I just hope it's really good.

Basically, everything that is not MH is not going to save Vita, even if it plays like MH?

Souls Sacrifice is not a MH replacement.

It'll most likely replacee the og 3DS then, I don't think XL will get a bigger or better model, unless they added oled, and we know Nintendo won't.

I don't think anyone expects that.
But it could become a cult sleeper hit like Demon's Souls was if the game is good enough.

I'm pretty sure Sony hopes it is.
The game does look iffy in 2D I thought it was suppose to look great once the 3D was turn on as the environments and backgrounds were designed for it. I think that can be seen in the video below. That and screens of hand held games in general look horrible when blown up for magazines and websites.

The game looks just fine to me graphically. I hope this ends up with a worldwide release. If not it just makes the wait for a english localization that much longer.

I'm pretty sure they don't expect it to sell not even a 1/5 of MH's sales.
Provided that MH3G looks beautiful on 3DS (even better if you actually turn 3D OFF), MH4 graphics are comparably unimpressive.
The above is directly taken from Famitsu site and the pic is supposedly provided by Capcom. At the first glance I couldn't even tell what was going on in that pic.

I'd say ceiling is more like 250K. But close enough.
It really is Vita's last hope, given that there are no other major exclusives announced for the Japanese market (or any other market, at least in sales terms) and that I expect something like a 4:1 ratio (if not higher) for most JP PSP/Vita and PS3/Vita multiplatform releases.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
It's taken from a flash video and is upscaled to boot... I agree that area isn't at all great looking with the direction they took but using that kind of media as an argument is silly since the game looks as crisp as any 3DS game regardless of the quality of the textures and what not. And imo the game has great looking moments too. Here are comparable normal images.Provided that MH3G looks beautiful on 3DS (even better if you actually turn 3D OFF), MH4 graphics are comparably unimpressive.

Whether you still find it ugly or not you can tell what it is. But generally I have no idea why they chose to do all these webs and foliage and other stuff in this way, it's ugly and a bad idea regardless of the system specs. The gameplay hopefully makes up for it, they're clearly made all boxy for the monsters to climb on/under/through them and then slapped transparent textures on.

Are you really taking a screen shot from a video
a bad one at that?I agree that there are other areas that look great. But something I noticed is ground texture is so..plane that ruins the complete scenic.
Again, taking how well Capcom handled 3DS at MH3G into account it's hard to imagine they overlook this at MH4. I'm guessing they already have MH4HD built, and MH4 is watered down version of it. Simultaneous release perhaps?

This is a golden opportunity for the vita in Japan. Don't screw it up.
