There's no reason to believe MH5 for the PS4 is even a thing. The rumor for it showing up on PS4 always exists for every MH since 3 and nothing ever comes from it beyond "awesome inside sources".

I will never post in this thread again if MH5 isn't announced as a PS4 exclusive at E3.

Why would they go non-portable for MH in Japan?

Switch doesn't have a large install base yet, they have generations being ported over to the Switch, and Capcom wants to focus on the Western Market with a new MH and have a large install base to target at the same time to make the most of their effort in a newly developed game. They hit almost 5 million with generations on 3DS - and are shifting target markets and dedicating two teams moving forward to target both markets. It doesn't mean there won't be a switch version of a new MH game, but MH5 will not be that game.

*thank you*

Internet multiplayer was strictly an afterthought for western audiences. Japanese players like squat in the 7-11 parking lot and kill dragons with strangers they can make eye contact with.

You mean aside from the fact it's Nintendo's fastest-selling console ever, to the point they can barely keep up with demand for the drat thing?

This is definitely plausible, but I'd think they'd put MH5 on Switch and some other version on PS4 as a test balloon for the West.

Just to be clear, are you calling for a toxx to be:

MH5 must be announced and must be a ps4 exclusive otherwise Toxx.

Or if MH5 is announced it must be a PS4 exclusive otherwise Toxx.

Maybe if there were some evidence and Utnayan didn't have a history of making up stuff that's totally gonna happen you guys I'd find this plausible.

Both. MH5 will be announced - MH5 will be a PS4 exclusive. (For at least a period of time)

However, I do not know the timing of said exclusive. So how about we just say they will say, "It will be available first on PS4"

Sound good? And if I lose, you will never see me in the Nintendo Switch thread again

To be fair Capcom are also idiots. Neglecting a good thing for them to try and appeal to a western market they don't understand is totally a thing they would do.

If anything, the PS4 would get the spinoffs while the Switch would get the mainline since it would hit both markets :shrug:

It's good if you like East Asian indie composers and vocaloids, download the phone app and try the free songs there. The Switch has a slightly smaller library of songs than the phone app but they're all unlocked and there's no microtransaction nonsense.

Have... have you ever looked at the release cycle of Monster Hunter?

It's the G-rank expansion/balance overhaul for Monster Hunter Generations. Pretty much every generation of Monster Hunter has had one. The current batch of newer fans maybe got slightly spoiled because we never got Monster Hunter 4 in the west, and instead skipped straight to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which this next game is the equivalent of for Monster Hunter Generations.

So, ARMS testpunch. If we unlock anything during this test, do you think we'll get to keep it for the full release? Will it be like Overwatch in that some ARMS will be more rare than others?
