Toukiden Kyoku announced for PS Vita, and PSP
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
I'm down for this. This is my favorite hunting style game so I'm down for new content. I imported Ragnarok Odysee, then bought the US version to play with locals, and I just grabbed ACE on my lunch break. With the amount of gameplay I get out of these games, another forty bucks for double the content is nothing.

They better allow save file importing. I don't really feel like doing all those story missions again.

Should have been PS4/PSV with cross-play. I'm kinda over playing action games on a small screen, but the game probably won't get localized anyway.
I'd be more surprised if it didn't. Koei localizes just about anything Omega Force makes for them.
I don't mind playing these on portable, but I wish Sony could somehow invent something that would let me do reverse remote play, since we obviously aren't getting VitaTV in the west...which does exactly what I want.

Well, I just bought the game last week rofl. T_T It doesn't sting too much since I bought it for less than msrp. Wonder if there is anything extra for original owners like carrying over our game saves?
Tell that every Monster Hunter fan.
It's the genre. Monster Hunter has done this since the first game on the PS2.
It's more surprising when it doesn't happen, to be honest.

Hopefully save game transfer will work indeed. I guess that it does.
Oh, like that, i understand. When you said "terrible" i thought you were talking about previous games (as in games being done before Toukiden)
What have Capcom done in terms of support post launch for Monster Hunter by the way?Ah ok, i didnt know about that game. What do you mean with "went against the traditional expanded re-release for a home console port."? Was Strikeforce a PSP game that wasnt released on console?
That happends to other games outside of PSP/Vita too. Fighting games in particular. Game Of The Year editios as well, even if its just added DLC and the game has already been patched (if the first version had some update patches released).
Strikeforce was originally released on PSP, and then got ported to PS3/360 in lieu of the typical re-release on the same platform.

...and just today I was thinking "why haven't I bought Toukiden yet again?"

Yup, par for the course for W-Force. Guns (Tanegashima rifles?) and not having to drop 40 on the original make me happy but a six month wait+having to buy a full copy doesn't
Am I allowed to link this?

Btw, I 100% recommend to those reading to buy the original Toukiden as it will reinforce the demand for the sequel to be released overseas.

...I think I'll just wait for Toukiden 2
We needed a hammer more than a spear with a blade on it.
Man that Naginata looks awesome. I guess that's the new NPC as well? I hope save data transfers over, that would make this a no brainer for me. Can't wait.
I get the want for a hammer but there is quite a lot of room for the Naginata to play really differently to the spear. They are different weapons irl and were used very differently.
Plus, firearms.

Damn , it's that team so i'm not even surprised .
The game moves at faster pace, and except for LS that works identically somehow, there is no "equivalent" here.
So every game should have the same weapon classes as MH?
I felt there was sufficient weapon selection in the original and they're adding more, what's the problem?

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I enjoyed the Demo. Good thing I didn't buy it right after I guess.
I don't even bother making the distinction, hahah. Every weapon type looks like Dual Blade levels of a sugar rush.
yep and no problem, I was just asking.
Well, there's gauntlet where its require precision more than other weapon in order to maximize its power.
Well the monsters move differently to compensate. If you were using a Great Sword at the same speed as in MH in Toukiden you'd get destroyed.

The fists were fairly slow. Still not as slow as some MH weapons though.
Outside of dual swords, I wouldn't really say anything in this game is "Dual Blade levels of a sugar rush". Even if the game operates at a generally faster pace than MH, I think there's still a lot of deliberateness in the way fights play out that the two games share. Personally, though, I'm rather glad that Toukiden ultimately has its own flow and weapons and stuff, regardless of how much I want bowguns to be in every game. If all the games were so similar to MH, then what would be the point of even having these different games?
Yeah exactly, I'd be happy to see it deviate more and create more of its own personality. I think weapons like the Naginata and old fashioned firearms that fit in with the traditional Japanese aesthetic are fantastic choices. Can't wait to see how they play.
I don't doubt that. I'm just projecting my unreasonable wants.
I bought it last week for MSRP T_T

I'll wait to see the move list before I judge the lance but it's not exactly an exciting weapon. Plus ranged is super boring in Toukiden (a little less so in MH, but still boring)
I'm with ohlawd. I want a hammer or great sword. Probably the two "skill" weapons in MH and they're nowhere to be found in Toukiden. The only thing that makes me sadder is the fact that this game will have a dead online community on day one. Can't really blame Tecmo if they don't localize it.

That sucks. Well, we got a year before it comes out in the west. I regret unwrapping the game a few nights ago. T_T
Depending if the new game uses the same trophy list or not. I may just sell my copy later on.
Naginata isn't a lance, so I don't expect it to play like lances in MH. I can't judge either since we know nothing about it but I hope it plays interesting since it's kind of a mix between a polearm and a blade weapon.
Well that's down to preference about ranged. I'm not a fan but if the firearms are pulled off well and unique I would be very interested.
Once again both fit the theme and aesthetic way more than a giant hammer or giant sword do - we already have a relatively giant sword in the katana styled long sword anyway. Although I understand that doesn't play like the Great Sword but this isn't MH.
But then again I also disagree that the GS and hammer are the only two skill weapons in MH.
I also think Toukiden seems to have performed satisfactorily enough to warrant further localizations, regardless of the current online landscape. I had a lot of fun with it online and I'm sure there are still players around on GAF, including myself, who would pick it up and play with anyone in the OT again if asked.

I give respect to switchaxe too I guess, and hunting horn (but it's basically a bard with a hammer)
guess I just care more about awesome fun weapons than fitting into the games aesthetic

Well tbh it sounds like you want it to be more MH and less ToukidenI give respect to switchaxe too I guess, and hunting horn (but it's basically a bard with a hammer)

I love MH too but I really wanna see this develop and create a personality of its own.

well, yea
It's the only hunting game outside of MH that I've enjoyed and it's no surprise since it's the closest one to MH gameplay. I'm not buying a 3DS so this is all I got mang. Nintendo and Capcpom shit in my MH sandwich
That said I did really enjoy the chain and sickle but using one weapon for most of the game really burned me out. Wasn't really a big fan of the rest and ended up getting stuck on phase 6 of MP due to lack of servers/people playing.

In an ideal world we'd have a MH on the Vita where it would look and play better than on the 3DS but... just thinking about it makes me sad haha.well, yea

Glad I waited on this. KT loves their Vita upgrades.
