Don't believe that leak at all I'm expecting a PS4/switch monster hunter

If the baseline is Switch, yeah. If the baseline is PS4, I could see it skipping Switch and Switch settling with the port for now while something else built exclusively for it is in the works.

I can't wait to see their conference especially after the show they put on last year. I can't see them going back to a traditional press conference. I wouldn't be surprised if they did though, but last year was kinda magical. I'd like for them to get any business talk out of the way before or after the conference. Just showing game on games was the best.

They can't go back to the old way now but I wonder if they will figure a way to make 2017 its own thing and not literally like 2016 (orchestra -> Shawn talk ->, etc...)

I don't wanna live in a world where it's exclusive to PS4 we won't be able to have a single nice thread about the game from that moment forward

I was just pointing out that that "leak" is all over the place regarding the motivations for creating said game.

I wasn't getting at you even though it may have come off that way. I was just targeting the rumor itself.

I don't know, Sanji. That may soon be a reality. Prepare yourself.
 
Monster Hunter 5 launching on The PlayStation.

Digital only. Obviously.

Very, very late 2018 and that's with some luck.

No OLED, sorry. Storage more important than display.

That ain't switch so it'll still be bad either way. Nothing will be done either

I'd be sooo entertained if it skips the Switch (i'd grab the biggest bag of popcorn) and i ain't even that interested in the game honestly. Why you ask?

Because the Nintendo die hard fans have driven me bonkers post Switch launch here on GAF, to me they've become unbearable honestly... what with their constant port-begging and deluded expectations and wanting to shove down the Switch down everyones throat.
 
the whole "big bad Sony" aweee, "poor Capcom" and wee "underdog Nintendo" narrative of the rumour in and of itself has me on the floor.
 
I'm mildly surprised that Sony hasn't released a first party online shooter to drive those ps plus subscription numbers up.

Guess getting exclusive marketing deals with third party publishers is cheaper and less risky.

The Monster Hunter rumor? I find that hard to believe on multiple fronts. For starters, Sony is funding it but doesn't have an issue with it appearing on Xbox? And they paid for it because they're desperate for Japan, but the game itself is going to be westernized, effectively changing a critical aspect that makes it appealing to Japan in the first place.

Yep I think you answered your own question there. So many successful online shooters nowadays so it might be risky to go all in on that route. Maybe a campaign first and MP secondary approach like UC series will continue to come up.

Funny thing is they made games like MAG when psn was free.

Negative. If you own a PS4 game digitally, you will already own for The PlayStation. No native PSOne/2/3 support. PS Now is possible but that will be rebranded or quietly put to bed. No Pro-level features. It's a portable Slim.

It's internal name is Walkman.

Oh, so you're saying they're making a portable PS4? That would be dope.
 
I think that rumor is reality mixed with pure, unadulterated nonsense and hyperbole. Sony isn't desperate for Japan, this game will be multiplatform and it won't be westernised at all. I hate that term and it holds no merit considering how much people seem to want to throw it out. Capcom are likely going to modernise the systems in the game, considering how dated some of them are.

I also don't expect it to come to Switch, but I know that's an unpopular opinion.

oh man MAG..that brings back some memories. THat's a game that really botched the promotion aspect.

ugh ...this is so crazy..so it must be true
 
Where is the tech for a portable PS4 even coming from and how much is that going to cost? I don't even know where I am right now, brehs.
 
OrbitalBeard said:
Also really damn expensive.

They'll sooner bury or delay the the whole thing if they can't get it under $399 but matching Switch price is the aggressive goal. Enticing already-owning PS4 owners with their entire digital library is their bank shot. They also know by "very, very" late 2018 (or later) they can make PS+ back into the PS3 era value proposition, which is big for people just buying into the ecosystem.

It's called The PlayStation because that's how the platform intends to evolve. Much akin to the iPad.

By the way, that internal name is used by SNE in both Nippon and the US.

Discovery is a hell of a thing.

It's literally impossible. The chip itself isn't really meant to be used as a portable. It runs too hot and draws too much power for such a thing to work.

So they're using both the actual product name (which for a product a year and a half away is impossible) and a code name? Go back to 4chan and see if anybody buys it there.

Please don't.

Also, I believe that a portable PS4 compatible with the entire PS4 library is the only way Sony can make a Vita successor
that doesn't flop
.

I can see a portable PS4 by next year (half the power of a PS4, 720p screen) or a hybrid PS4 at the end of the life-cycle.

If it's compatible with PS4 games then it can't be half the power.

And when do they plan to annouce this? E3?
 
what are you guys saying about the Phantom Wall rumors? Surprised to not see a thread about it here. Is it bullshit?

If it doesn't plays cartidges or mini BD it's dead in the water. Also The Playstation? This thing is destined to die sooner than PSP Go.
 
I feel that guy was making up an obviously dumb rumor to point out how taking the MH5 rumor seriously is dumb, but he got a few serious responses so he just decided to roll with it.

Link? Don't know what you're talking about? If its MGSV Chapter 3 then probably bullshit.
