Captain Falcon Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 They're almost certainly being done by different teams (Tri U Wii U is probably being done by Eighting - who also did the grunt work on the 3DS version) so I wouldn't have thought that Tri U Wii U would have any effect of MH4's development. With MH4 featuring online play however, I wouldn't bet on seeing a Wii U version. It may well still happen, but there's much less incentive for them to make a Wii U version of MH4 than there was with Tri U (and no excuse for Capcom to not localise it!) Well, the different teams thing had occurred to me, but I was just wondering if the HD version was little more than a stop gap to fill a possible MH vaccum for a delayed MH4 but clearly it isn't even that so I think it puts it in a strange position in the Japanese market. It's still great for us mind.
Mokong Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I doubt the Japanese will care much how long it is till MH4 is out from MH3U coming out. They are getting the WiiU and MH3U on the same day...likely that alone will sell out WiiU's in Japan on day one there

They are getting the WiiU and MH3U on the same day...likely that alone will sell out WiiU's in Japan on day one there Maybe, maybe not. I just feel for them, this situation likens itself to the re-release of Monster Hunter G on the Wii in terms of timing and that didn't set the charts alight... though that had a bit shorter shelf life to itself than 3GHD will. Yes they are different machines but it's the same MH audience they are targetting and I'd bet a good chunk of the Wii U earlier adopters will own a 3DS. Anyway, this is the MH4 thread so I'll shut up now :p
Hero-of-Time Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 I see the game has been delayed in Japan till Summer. I'm quite happy with that as I would like to see how Soul Sacrifice will perform without MH blocking its path.
Dcubed Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Good! Now I wont feel so bad about getting MH3U at the same time that Japan get MH4
Hero-of-Time Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 The staff looks legendary! Also lol at Kutku at the end.
dazzybee Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Big big rumour this is coming to the vita too!
Retro_Link Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah was just gonna post that. Though apparently it's only from a Japanese mag and should be taken with a big pinch of salt.
Mokong Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'd imagine (if True) Sony are prolly putting up a ton of cash for it to help give teh Vita some life in Japan
Debug Mode Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if it went multiplatform, there's a lot more money to be made that way. That and I very much doubt Sony is going to go down quietly with the current Vita situation
Ville Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 So we got a new trailer via the Nintendo Direct: Anyone else think this looks quite ugly? Visuals are quite jagged, looks worse than 3U for sure...
liger05 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 So we got a new trailer via the Nintendo Direct: Anyone else think this looks quite ugly? Visuals are quite jagged, looks worse than 3U for sure... It looks dope!!!
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 So we got a new trailer via the Nintendo Direct: Anyone else think this looks quite ugly? Visuals are quite jagged, looks worse than 3U for sure... It's always hard to judge handhelds through videos and screens. I'm sure it'll look great in your hands. :p Either way, can't wait. Please, Capcom, don't fuck this up.
Ville Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 You guys just have your hype goggles on : D Have they mentioned anything about the online yet?
Hero-of-Time Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Anyone else think this looks quite ugly? Visuals are quite jagged, looks worse than 3U for sure... The only thing that looks off, and has done since its first showing, are the colours.
Debug Mode Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Just a week after the launch of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in EU and US, the hype train for Monter Hunter 4 is in full effect over here in Japan. Go to 7 Eleven to withdraw some cash, noticed they have a Monster Hunter 4 lottery-type game. Basically, you pay 600 yen (just over £4) to withdraw a ticket from a cardboard box, peel away the tear off portion and the letter underneath that corresponds to the prize you win. So there's mini figures, writing accessories, drink cups, key chains, a giant meat plushy and some giant figures which are national prizes. I go to the drink counter to get myself some Apple Cider (I WISH it was real cider), Monster Hunter 4 keychain included on every bottle. Figured to top it off I'd go for the lottery as well, even though I don't even play Monster Hunter! So I came out of the store with a keychain of Lagiacrus and a mini figure of one of the Felyne creatures? God fucking knows! But looks like it'll be stuff to pass around or even flog to avid fans when I go home ;D
-Dem0- Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Some new screenshots. http://gematsu.com/gallery/monster-hunter-4/may-16-2013/
Kagato Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Some new screenshots. http://gematsu.com/gallery/monster-hunter-4/may-16-2013/ some of the shots look amazing and others, not so much, regardless im all over this whenever it launches. Im still holding hope out for a WiiU edition so i can use Transfarring again.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 There's a bunch of new screens over on this thread. I'm at work so I can't copy and paste them all. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=620966 @RedShell will like this one though. I'm also not happy this guy has returned. He was a freaking nightmare on Unite. In fact, I think most of the Elder Dragons on Unite were a bitch to Fight.
RedShell Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 @RedShell will like this one though. Brilliant. They're really going for it with the crazy cat thing in this game.
RedShell Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Seriously hope this is going to get a Wii U version for Europe. I didn't like the controls on the 3DS version of MH3U at all. It plays so much better with a classic controller, not to mention the increased comfort, which for a super lengthy game like MH is pretty essential.
Jimbob Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I would love it if Capcom do the same for Ultimate with being able to transfer save files between 3DS and WiiU for 4 (that's if 4 gets a release over here), would love for it to do so.
