Sexy OP.

Will pick this up if it ever comes to the U.S.

 

[cvxfreak]

Waiting for Tenbatsu to explode any minute now.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Nice concise OT. What's the significance of the title?

 

[Chet Rippo]

Would be nice if I could play it this year, but nice |OT|!

 

[Exterminieren]

Excellent OT, and loving the title.

What are the prospects of this making it to the west?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Nice concise OT. What's the significance of the title?

Someone in a previous Tri G thread picked out a screenshot of underwater mining and was going on about the graphics and how the "textures weren't compelling."

 

[Truth101]

Excellent OT, and loving the title.

What are the prospects of this making it to the west?

Extremely likely.

 

[waicol]

Excellent OT, and loving the title.

What are the prospects of this making it to the west?

Summer 2012 with online play.

Nice and compelling OT.

 

[Alrus]

Excellent OT, and loving the title.

What are the prospects of this making it to the west?

Probably coming next summer. (At least I really hope it does, I want this so bad >.<)

 

[Luigi87]

If this ever comes to NA, I'll definitely get it.

However, that being said, I am very excited to see the launch sales for this in Japan next week.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Now repeat the Tatsunoko miracle Capcom and bring it with online to the west.

Spoiler

seriously... I'm begging here

I'll be rooting for RE: Revelations' numbers in the West.

 

[Boney]

No Gatchaman in the op?

 

[Kagari]

The genre is Hunting Action, not ARPG.

 

[TheFightingFish]

So I'm not really in the Monster Hunter loop, but there is a full new Monster Hunter 4 announced for the 3DS as well, right?

Yup.

I bet on this by buying a 3DS.

 

[Kurod]

Yeah. They were actually shown together at the TGS. Feelings have been mixed about MH4 because of the platformy segments.

 

[MightyKAC]

The genre is Hunting Action, not ARPG.

So that's the "official" genre name for it now? Cuz I've been thinking of it as an ARPG for the longest time.

Anyway, I'd have day one'd this if it had online multiplayer. As it stands now I'm not sure when/if I'll ever pick it up.

Yes, and it says so right on the game's packaging

 

[Busaiku]

Spoiler

That was another game entirely.
Meaning we'll get Monster Hunter 4, at least.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Shame 3DS is region locked. I might have given this a go, franken pack and all.

 

[muu]

new CM hinting at possible reappearance of P2G monsters.

Well if it's worth anything Chris Svensson said in a recent interview that online is absolutely critical to the series catching on in the West. And makes this distinction.

“Monster Hunter at its heart is a cooperative multiplayer game and for our market, online play is essential. The adhoc-only approach for the US market is, more often than not, too large of a barrier to find mass acceptance.”

Huh, well I'll be damned.

I've seen that box in passing a million times and never even noticed.

Link please?

We can only hope this is them alluding to a TvCish of localization and not them telling us to wait for MH4.

 

[Insaniac]

definitely looking forward to hearing impressions regarding the dual analog thing, and controls w/ and w/o it (specifically w/o it since I don't plan on getting the dual analog monster)

Damn all the faux genres!

Spoiler

Fixed.

 

[Alexios]

Thought there was a stealth announcement or something, OT titles should mark the region

Bullet points should have the return of Plesioth, that wasn't in either Tri or 3rd and will feel new underwater >_>

 

[Father_Brain]

The US/EU versions will have online play. Unless Capcom is completely nuts, anyway.

But everyone hates Plesioth!

I'd never put the-one-that-shouldn't-be-mentioned in that list.

When you write it, you should put it down as:

Oh boy. That's Tower 3. Shit just got real.

 

[DCharlie]

there's a starter book out already that was in stores yesterday.

Was going to buy it to see the new monster data, but almost all of these n00b starter books don't even begin to tell you anything.

 

[Alexios]

Looks maybe a bit like:
http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Tower_3
But might be totally new too, idk.

Beaten I guess.

And on 2nd thought, it almost matches that pic exactly so, yeah, can't be all new. Hope it's been updated to look better though.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

But everyone hates Plesioth!

Bullet point should read "Plesioth with third generation hitboxes"

Publishers make up fake genres for their games all the time. Look at the Tales games.

Other MH-likes have also taken up the mantle so it's at least accepted among other publishers.

Namco makes it impossible to take the Tales genres seriously, though. "To Resonate With You RPG"? Right.

Yeah, exactly, stuff like that.

Tower 3 with a Narga scream.

I was hoping it'd be a Daora scream, but, yeah, it's just a boring Narga.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Underwater plesioth fight? gtfo

Nargacuga rare subspecies?

IF there are US/EU versions. I can see Capcom just skipping it and making us wait for MH4. :\
