The lack of a new Monster Hunter entry on Switch seems a bad business decision

Its almost like MHGU was a lazy rushed port with no effort put it to cash in on the Switch, just like all of Capcom's other Switch games

World sold too well for them to care, and Switch is too weak to run the World assets so it will never happen. Part of the reason MH jumped ship from PSP to 3DS was Nintendo offered them huge deals on distribution, advertising, and a cut in licensing costs for making MH a 3DS game instead of a Vita one.

Oh weird. I just picked 4U back up again because I left on the very cusp of G-rank, and I've now gotten two friends to pick it up now that they have the time to play it.

>and Switch is too weak to run the World assets so it will never happen
It still runs on MT Frameworks, clearly not that demanding
>Also a scorned Vitagen

>implying Portable 5th/Next/whatever they want to call it isn't in development as we speak

>Its almost like MHGU was a lazy rushed port with no effort put it to
Yeah pretty much sounds like every monster hunter game before iceborne.

I really don't know if this series has a future on Nintendo hardware besides spinoffs

Give me World: Iceborne gameplay with 3 Ultimate/XX graphics

That makes literally no sense

>Vita fanboy still mad after all these years

Do you think they will go back to pre World controls? They won't port World to the Switch.

They've have to develop a whole new game from the ground up, and at that point, why not just release something for modern consoles where the series set records.

I'd be down for a new Switch game, I just don't see it happening. A for the record, I've played every game since Tri released on Wii.

>Nintendo's lead platform is a glorified tablet
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why mainline Monster Hunter titles wouldn't have a future there.

If they cant find some way to downport World to PS2 mode, which still runs on a decade old engine, AND the fact they helped develop the damn system's hardware, then that's just incompetence.

I watched my brother play some World on launch PS4. No way in hell is that ever running on a Switch. They'd have to redo all the assets to have something between the older ones and the new ones and that'd be a giant waste of time. Would be smarter to wait for a Switch 2 and see how that goes.
Vitagen have been in denial since almost the beginning at just how bad that console sold and how nothing good was ever going to happen to it. Just like Switch it had a ton of publishers putting ports on it to gauge interest near launch. Unlike Switch though nobody bought them so practically every publisher pulled out. MH World has almost sold as many copies now as Vitas exist in the world.

I'm not even a big fan of MH, I'm just being realistic. I don't see it happening without a giant check from Nintendo, but Nintendo have the Switch doing so well already they don't need to do that.

Capcom also contributed that tablet's hardware. If their games can't run its their own fault.
Also
>the last few Nintendo titles didn't do so hot even with the huge install base
Now that's just false

World was also heavily marketed and catered to casuals more. You can see that not as many people got Iceborne. Still great they managed to make a ton of profit off it

>Just like Switch it had a ton of publishers putting ports on it to gauge interest near launch
>at launch
At launch? Publishers are STILL fucking doing that. Capcom especially. We are on year 3 and Capcom has ported over 20 old games, most of them overpriced.

>I watched my brother play some World on launch PS4. No way in hell is that ever running on a Switch
Yea i totally haven't heard that one before. Its not like people said this about multiple other games, and then they got ports to Switch and then people said they looked like shit. It gets old after a while

ichinose is assuredly working on portable 5th, he's been teasing it for years. It's probably going to be a switch title and since it's fifth gen, it'll probably run on the modified MT framework, same that they used for world. All they have to do is not having absurd locations like the ancient forest and the switch should be able to handle the maps just fine.

Getting ports is much better than getting nothing. Capcom completely stopped after their Vita launch titles sold horribly and never put another game on the Vita again. The worst part is what they considered a bomb so hard they'd never support the platform again turned out to be Vita's 9th best selling game in the US to date.

>the last few Nintendo titles didn't do so hot even with the huge install base
I fucking guarantee you The lowest selling MH game on 3DS did better than World on Xbox

>Getting ports is much better than getting nothing.
Not when its exclusively all ports and they're ultra jews when porting it
Its not much of a step up

MHXX recycled all assets from MH4G. It's how to keep content volume up in such a short 1 year interval period between games.

Also next game will be a World spinoff like what MHX was to MH4.

Get a PC and play MHW instead of port begging you consolenigger.

Capcom never supported Vita with MH though. MH3G and MH4 were both announced 3 months before Vita came out.

Not him but the base PS4 can barely run the game at 30 with heavy dynamic resolution scaling. If you've got examples of similar games that did make it over to Switch I'm interested.

>Do you think they will go back to pre World controls?
You know that World has almost identical controls to GU, right? There's only a few mechanics that function differently and that's a simple matter of control scheme changes, not a complete overhaul.
It's really just the graphics and environments that are an issue, which personally I don't think the game really needs either of those changes. Of course it seems I am by far the minority, so whatever.

>They've have to develop a whole new game from the ground up
No, they would just have to expand upon the good base game that they have had for years, like they have previously done constantly.

>I'd be down for a new Switch game, I just don't see it happening
I think it's entirely possible, if a little unlikely. They could always just do another compilation game, this time adding in the remaining monsters and equipment to the game.
And there is always Stories or other spin offs if they're that much against the idea.

Yes, but how much effort did it take to port the game to Xbox compared to what it would take to get it playable on Switch? Making a game for Switch would be a significant downgrade and require way more effort than it would take to make a game for the other three major platforms.

That's not to say we wouldn't see Monster Hunter on Switch. It just wouldn't be mainline. The Portable subseries would be the perfect middleground. Unless they go to mobile devices. At least a Switch port wouldn't be out of the question in that case.

They trying to port over XCom 2 to Switch which was well known for its awful performance on PS4

>Making a game for Switch would be a significant downgrade and require way more effort than it would take to make a game for the other three major platforms.
lol no it wouldn't. There have been a plenty handful of devs who ported their current gen shit to Switch and i doubt it took that much effort Just do what every other publisher does with its Switch ports; outsource it to Chinks

If there is a MH on Switch then it will be muliplat on all platforms but not necessarily the reverse is true.

Just stop and think about it, you know what I'm saying is true.

Not necessarily, buddy. GU would have played perfectly on any other platform, but they didn't port it over then.
Most likely scenario is that any game on the Switch will be a handheld only title, and there aren't any other handhelds around right now.

I'd buy MH3U/MH4U even at 60 usd
but it's capcom so who knows if they're doing anything

You got your 3DS port, now shut up and fuck off.

>5th gen beats sales records
>Good future is guaranteed, with consistently reliable machines and multiple of them at that, instead of extremely inconsistent and short Nintendo generations, where they could either last 4 or 7 years, be portable or not, use disks or cartridges, unkown successes or failures, etc
???? I don't see the problem. If Nintendo trieds for the first time ever since GC to be within the acceptable bounds of the same generation of other systems then they'll get MonHun, that easy. Capcom however sure as shit learned their lesson and will never go back, they tried the hyper recycling lazy method by using PS2-tier hardware for 15 years and they did well enough, but now that they actually worked hard with 5th gen they were also rewarded much more.

>Switch is selling extremely well all over the world.
On the other hand not as well as it should've. And it requires a dedicated port which takes longer to do (if it's even possible with 5th gen's revamped engine). Switch reached half of PS4's sales, and that's not counting Xbone sales and all PC players. Why would capcom bother with Switch when the other 3 platforms can all get a similar port and sell 4x as much as a Switch release would?

Shame about that 5 year old 3DS port, but you know that I'm talking about new games

>bad business decision
um, you've seen worlds sales right? leaving the switch behind is working out just fine for capcom

>And it requires a dedicated port which takes longer to do (if it's even possible with 5th gen's revamped engine)
Fuck off with the armchair developer talk. Its a decade old engine they already ported over multiple times for cheap ports

4U room where?

If they dropped a re-texturing of MHFU and a translation of Portable 3rd i'd pay full fucking price if it had online for switch

>leaving the switch behind is working out just fine for capcom
Yea why don't you tell that to their release schedule

But they didn't port them to Vita despite the cheapness? Hell why not port the 3DS games to the PS4 before World?

Yes I know what you meant, and it would likely be the same situation as that 5 year old 3DS port (which amusingly is just as good as the almost 2 year old console/PC game) is what I am saying.
You think about it, user. Why would they release a smaller "spinoff" on platforms that they are still trying to sell World on? They clearly want to focus the new MH audience on one game, hence the very drawn event schedules and such.

cope, tendies are NEVER getting another MH game

The unreleased Bethesda Elder Scrolls game is also using Morrowind's engine, doesn't mean it'll be able to run on the original Xbox. Same for Halo, which uses the same engine of Halo CE all the way up to Reach. Doesn't mean Reach would run o noriginal Xbox.

Doesn't matter than 5th gen engine is technically the same as 1st gen, it still wouldn't run on Switch. I'm also not sure why you're so butthurt over a hypothetical situation that would never happen in the first place. Let's say I'm a fucking retard and you're 100% right, the game could run perfectly on Switch. Ok. Now what? Nothing changes, no port would happen.

Because Vita flopped. Switch is no doubt a success. But Capcom doesn't wanna put in effort, they want money for some half assed port jobs they overcharge for

Capcom always wanted money, which is the reason they stuck with Nintendo for so long in the first place. Consider yourself a lucky exception to have had the game for 2 entire generation. Now things changes, Capcom will never ever ever ever again go for the weakest system, they will always target the biggest selling and numerous similar systems now (AKA everyone but Nintendo unless Nintendo by a miracle release a console that isn't dogshit unlike their last 3 gens)

why develop a MH game for the switch when they could develop one for ps5/xb and make triple the money??

It's cheap. Those Switch ports of those failed Capcom games flopped more than the Capcom games on Vita. Still why didn't they do all those cheap ports of the 3DS games for PS4? They're cheap right?

Switch is closer to current gen consoles than last gen ones. That's why it even gets current gen games. No, unoptimized shit ports of last gen games made for a quick buck do not count

You're just proving the guy right.
Capcom has been giving Nintendo anything but budget ports. Nintendo players don't seem to know any better and are buying them up anyways.

6 YERS OF EXCLUSIVITY ON NINTENDO AND STILL NOT ENOUGH!??

You do realize Capcom contributed to the Switch's hardware right? If its too underpowered for them, its Nintendo's fault along with their own.

Its not Nintendo's fault Capcom became lazy mega jews

.
They sell like shit. They were forced to add in new content to DMC3 just so it could sell

>nintendo fags are still seething
You deserve misery.
>shitpost MH on PSP
>Vita is the perfect console for MH 4
>instead desperate nintendo jews bankroll capcom for the 3DS, a console weaker than PSP

>MH is now a big series on Yas Forums thanks to Nintendo shitposts

Beautiful.

Which goes the same for Vita and PS4. Why didn't they make cheap MH ports for Vita or PS4?

>That's why it even gets current gen games.
Like DMC5? Or AC7? Or Nier?

They didn't contribute. Just told them it was beyond shit when it came to RAM. It's still a piece of shit now despite the change. Demonstrated by no recent Capcom release being there, and the whole reason they told Nintendo about the RAM was to port RE7 there, but it still ended up being a streamed game only, not even Sega's PSO2 runs on the Switch - hilarious.

Capcom was too lazy to port the DMC HD Collection, you expect them to port DMC5?

Also i should say Yoko Taro doesn't like the Switch. He wants a Vita 2 instead

>The lack of a new Monster Hunter entry on Switch seems a bad business decision

Probably in development right now. Problem is PS4's World just sold so well and they're still supporting Iceborne confirmed until the end of the year at least.

Wouldn't be shocked if one is being worked on for next year on Switch whilst PS5 players will have to wait an odd number of years for World 2 or whatever the hell it will be called eventually.

Should have asked for more then. If it wasn't enough its still their fault for not asking for more

>Probably in development right now
delusional

Capcom also contributed to Vita's development. They were one of the main key speakers during the hardware reveal showing MHP3 on Vita and their MT Frameworks.

Why would Nintendo appease to a single 3rd party so much? It would raise Switch's cost $50 more. Capcom never ever gave a shit about Nintendo, much like 99% of all 3rd parties after SNES.

>blowing up a 240p game to 4k
They would have to remake the game to look decent

>Still thinks there's ANY chance
delusional. They're full throttle on gen 6 now (PS4/5, Xbone/Sex, PC) and after that they'll jump straight into developing gen7 while the side-team works on 6th gen Xpac. That will happen until the end of time.

Cheaper than shrinking a 4k game to 240p and spending a year optimising

It baffles me that people think DMC5, RE2, World, or any modern games would run on this fucking tablet.

Even if they did it would turn out like Ark kek.

Well then its still Capcom's fault then. They should have known what Switch was and wasn't capable of. What was the point of the RAM boost if they weren't gonna use it?

Capcom still cares about Nintendo. And by that I mean they care about the userbase's money but don't wanna put in effort to gain it. That's laziness.

If something goes wrong they will blame it on lazy devs not optimising properly

these people think botw is the pinnacle of graphics
