Capcom Announces Xbox 360 Monter Hunter Frontier Pricing

Andriasang: Monster Hunter Frontier hits Xbox 360 on the 24th. That's tomorrow! About time Capcom shared pricing details for the game, don't you think?

[eggbert]

man, why do they keep doing this....

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

All this is is a simple port of the PC version (which wasn't very good). I'll be surprised if it does 10k.

[SOAD]

It will probably do much better than 10k.

[Hades1337]

Cause if not, then I doubt you've played it.

[Perjoss]

I think the latest release on the wii is doing quite well, this might help frontier get a western release.

[UnSelf]

i never heard of Monter Hunter

[qface64]

EDIT: oh wait nevermind i get it now LOL

[AbyssGravelord]

[ThanatosDMC]

Wait, it's not gonna come to NA??? I got excited for nothing then.

If it does come here, it's a must buy especially for those who love co-op and challenges. Hundreds of hours worth of gameplay.

If only it would come to the PS3 with full english translations....

If you remember playing the original one on the PS2 people ended up doing those stupid plate runs where they suicide to get their stuff. Then you got the Great Sword noobs who always up slash you into the air and get you killed. The game is good but there was always room for improvement on the gameplay, I hated how people whored out headlocking with a spear or spammed out the upslashes with the great sword. Also, theres the dreaded lag that will get you late killed. (PC version probably doesn't suffer from this.)

[ThanatosDMC]

Sucks that you played with douche bags but i played with close friends so we cooperated properly unless we screwed around to get each other killed.

Frontier is basically the same old Monster Hunter game but that in itself is not a bad thing for fans of the series. Frontier is also jack full of content... basically put all the Monster Hunter games except Frontier and multiply it by four and you've got Frontier. It's also updated with new items, monsters, and maps almost every 6 months.

I played it on the PC using the tunneling whatever so that my IP is recognized properly by the japanese server... i didnt last long since i couldnt understand anything but there was so much to do and the community is huge... but then again the game is extremely popular in Japan.

Here's the guide to play in now... it's in Japanese though. Yes, you have to pay. http://www.onrpg.com/boards...

Since they're going to make it the subscription to come with free Xbox LIVE, I don't see why not I wouldn't play this. I've always been interested in Monster Hunter, and I grew somewhat bored with PC gaming.

[Newtype]

They should import the PC version, MMOs are better with a PC. Reason why I am getting FF XIV on the PC. Macros FTW!

[Gene]

fuck man bring it my 360 freinds want this game it would be perfect for x-box live.

[Checkmate]

hm what's a monter? :D

[theEx1Le]

lol, just noticed that too

[Newtype]

It's kind of weird though, Monster Hunter being on 360 when it debuted on the PS2. After that, it continued onto the PSP then onto the Wii. I wonder why this is?

[Godmars290]

Because the PC version is a near 1-1 port of the PS2/PSP one. Doesn't really compliment the PC much less 360 or PS3.

[El_Colombiano]

Wait then why the HELL did it even go to Xbox!? This makes NO sense. If they want to penetrate the Japanese console base then why do it on the nearly dead console over there? I would understand if it came out over here in the US but Japan? Come on Capcom...

[PirosThe4th]

M$ being generous to Capcom? Maybe...

[ryuzu]

Capitalism doesn't stop at California.

Maybe Capcom feel that by trying to make the 360 a competitive force in Japan it will cause Sony and/or Nintendo to be a bit more compliant when negotiating publishing costs and royalty splits...

Without MS in Japan, Sony and Ninty call the shots and they don't directly compete with each other at the moment. Look at the exclusive/dlc situation in US/Europe where strange publishing deals have happened.... All that spells money for 3rd parties while the platform holders battle it out for market share.

Despite all that, Xbox have had bigger games than this one already this Gen and hasn't gone anywhere in Japan - a rehashed Monster Hunter ported from another platform isn't the game to make a difference.

Of course they are going to release the game in Japan only. They will suffer a great loss of they ever release it in the west on the 360.

[bjornbear]

new game monter hunter must be something like monster hunter

[PirosThe4th]

MMO should stay on PC xD

[PXSausage]

Those are some crazy prices... though it doesn't matter for moi as I live in the States.

[Jason143]

pay to play? No way in hell. They charge for japanese wii to play online and we get it free. This is a dumb move. Ill wait for psp to expand upon tri which Im content with.
