The latest issue of Famitsu features an interview with the Monster Hunter team. Many PS3 fans were angered when the company made a surprising platform change for the upcoming Monster Hunter 3. The PS3 version of the game was canceled and became a Wii exclusive.
According to Famitsu, representatives of Capcom had a "big apology" for PS3 fans. "Famitsu pointed out that some people may have purchased a PS3 once Monster Hunter 3 was announced last year. This drew a big apology from the Capcom reps, who said that PS3 owners should wait for further announcements in the series."
Capcom is supposedly increasing their focus on PS3 development, but no significant projects have been announced for PS3 yet. A PS3 port of Lost Planet was recently revealed at its Gamers Day. If Capcom's asking PS3 owners to "wait" for another MH-related announcement, many Sony fans are going to be quite disappointed.
What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
First world problems all up in here, but that makes this gaming dilemma no less stressing.
The third generation of Monster Hunter drags the series back to western shores because well, why not? In fact you could say that three really has been the magic number. Unless you live in Japan in which case one and two were also pretty fantastic and if anything three has been nothing short of a crushing disappointment.
‘But wait!’ Voletic hears you scream, ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has been recently announced, why are you addressing the third iteration?’ Because background knowledge is a beautiful thing and Voletic has a word count to fill.
My problem with MH is the slow paced and plain combat system, if they make it more dynamic count me in.
They need a full console release, launch the CryEngine one for PC for PS4/XO. And make sure to bring it stateside.
i hope they would release onimusha to the ps3. Even if it whent multiplatform i wouldnt care. i just wan a new one.
I think it's Sony who should apologize for their ps3's horrible development kits and awkward ps3 engine.
Its stupid that people get mad at capcom. They should get mad at the person responsible Sony They release a game console that is not selling and is extremely difficult to program for. Im glad they moved development to the wii I know they will make a profit.
FirstknighT - They will when M$ apologizes for the RROD.
What they did was a sound business move and from the sounds of it, they will eventually be bringing the series to the PlayStation 3.
