VFX artist who worked on Monster Hunter X now working on an unspecified PS4 title
- Thread starter miku
- Start date
i have said before that the next mainline mh will be on ps4 and it will most likely be dq11 situation again with nx in the mix. capcom has quite a few games for ps4 and they would love to throw in their biggest japanese game on ps4 to help the hardware and boost their other titles.
it sucks 3ds is a big success in japan because devs are stuck working on inferior hardware. games look like shit on it as far as i am concerned. i bought a 3ds for fire emblem and smt4 (excellent games) and sold it and i will buy it again for fire emblem if and mh stories but begrudgingly.

Loving NX long time.
I made a post in the DQ11 announcement thread saying that it didn't matter if SE didn't want to bring the game westward, as a big*semi) exclusive to consoles, Sony would pony up the cash and resources to get it localized on their own time(in response to someone else saying SE has a bad track record with localizing DQ titles)
I don't think it was a fair tagging but things in life don't have to be

Oh yeah I agree on the bolded, but to be fair, they still got great numbers even without doing that.
For Sony and localization, there's a reason P3rd didn't make it to the west and that Sony never really cared about its marketing.
The main platform for mainline games will still be handhelds as long as they exist and sell more than consoles in Japan. Of course, no big reasons to not make a PS4 HD port on top of the NX one.
Capcom is a bit like S-E. Different games for different platforms. They go where it makes sense strategically and financially before anything else. No point in making MH5 a PS4 title first given this platform's performance in Japan.
For what it's worth, I'm actually kind of dreading the inevitable hardware upgrade for MH, just because I feel like it'll probably mean that we stop getting super crazy content filled games to the degree that we have, at least for a while. (Plus I really, really don't care much what MH looks like, graphics-wise. And I definitely do hope it stays handheld, though that at least I'm pretty sure will keep happening at this point...)
Also, +1 on the thread title being more than a little misleading.

Cool. Interested in seeing what this PS4 title is. Verendus mentioned that a more "proper" Monster Hunter would release on the PS4, but I won't assume this is it.

PC players should really buy Dragon's Dogma in January if they want even more ports of Capcom more japanese-oriented titles.

A MH on current gen consoles/PC would be a dream come true.
Lets be honest - the 3DS is the last real low-res on the market - everyone who is working and finishing a 3DS project know will go on to work on a "high-end" project next compared to the 3DS. PC, PS4, Xbox One, WiiU, NX, Mobile etc - they all fit that description...doubt anyone was expecting new main 3DS games in 2017.

Hopefully, cross play between all possible platforms.

Fucking finally.
Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression here, but isn't the article talking about a visual effects designer from the Monster Hunter X team who explicitly transferred to a PS4 title and not that the Monster Hunter X team transferred to a mysterious high end platform that may be PS4?

Some really believe all or almost all games coming for PS4 will have NX version later. lol
lol it's the former
Yeah, thats pretty much it lol. Bad title
Sorry I used too many negatives here.
My impression was that it was the former. Thanks. Renaming the thread.
I mentioned the NX because I figured that Monster Hunter is more likely to go there than PS4 given Capcom's recent strategy for the series, and that the PS4 game mentioned in the OP was not a Monster Hunter game. Dunno about anyone else.
Just like all those PS3 games have a WiiU version!

Only if NX has same PC architecture for porting those PS4 games and good launch base, otherwise developers are going to ignore just like Wii U other than very few titles.
Obviously, duh. What else could a VFX artist work on?

In Pokemon's defense, the battles in the new games are pretty much top notch for the 3DS. I remember seeing somewhere way back about the models being insanely high poly count
They always do no matter what, then reality kicks in.

Not really, just those that make sense.
So far, only possible ones people are talking about are MonHun, FFVIIR, and KH3 if it was getting a delay, on top of possible niche ones when the PS3 and Vita will be truly dead. Not really the same as saying every game should be there, even less those that don't make any sense (like FFXV, Bethesda games or stuff like that)...
Erm, neither PS4/NX nor PS4/ no NX version are setup precedents. There has been no game for NX announced or denied to begin with. It is an all around out of the ass talking.

What makes people think NX will be high end?
Even when Nintendo came out with a HD console it was equivalent to machines 7 years old, there is no recent history of Nintendo matching or even surpassing the power of other platforms.
After watching people desperately try and spin the Wii U spec it just seems a lot if people are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Not sure that FFVIIR makes sense.
What's the problem with the combat for you?

The battles do look great, I agree. The overworld though....
But what does Cloud in Smash mean?!?
Is the new " everything will be xbox one exclusive"
Eolz
Member
It's not an exclusive, a long time away, and likely on UE4. Cloud amiibo+Smash helps too.
Unlike FFXV, with a proprietary engine that is causing development problems, and out next year.
But this is getting off-topic. Anything is high-end compared to 3DS, and Nintendo never released a home console weaker than the previous generation. Worst case scenario in this term would be a PS4 or X1, which would still be "high-end" if it was released next year compared to their current platforms.
This.

Should I be excited for a new Capcom PS4 game or is it just another MH game?

Expecting the handheld NX to receive new Monster Hunter games (even if we are talking about PS4/NX multiplats), when the mainline series was 3DS exclusive ever since 2011 and hunting games are significantly more popular on handhelds is far, far more reasonable than expecting full on PS4 exclusive mainline titles.
Your post doesn't make sense in the context of this thread.
Meaningless? Might as well ask why Snake is in Smash.
Always thought the not exclusive bit referred to PC. It'd be pointless to release later on the NX considering the game is coming to PS4 first.
