Topic: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

@JaxonH lol. I haven't bought Mario Rabbids yet because I am working on MH XX. Finished my Testucabra set and found me a gluttony +10 Talisman. That should last me until high rank.

Almost done with 4* quests in the village. and of course I have a headache, so I couldn't play the game much today. Recorded a new video though, fought Blangonga...and tried out Alchemy Style. Gonna be messing with this style some more, I kinda like it. xD

EDIT: And since one of you guys will ask for it eventually anyway...lol

Has anyone read this? http://www.dualshockers.com/monster-hunter-world-ps4-xx-switc... I'm beginning to think something's up here....

I quote: "Media Create mentions that while Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate was a Wii U launch title and released close to the year end shopping season, Monster Hunter XX Nintendo Switch Ver.‘s debut is considered “dull.” According to the firm, information on Monster Hunter World for PS4 was announced just before the game’s release, and it’s believed that a number of users are waiting for that."

Kinda obvious why XX Switch didn't do well in Japan...

@Joeynator3000 Nice hunt. Makes me want to record some of mine. I enjoy watching the more realistic hunts more than the near perfect ones.

@UmniKnight I am saying it now. If the 9/9 Sony event is a handheld I will bet money MH:W is coming to it.

I want a western release. I love online gaming and this is the only thing that could pull me off splatoon occasionally.

Yeah, I never cared for those "professional" hunt videos where everything is done perfectly. Sometimes it's fun to watch people struggle to stay alive. xp

@zionich
Not gonna happen.

It's impossible to make a portable PS4 with PC architecture- the technology isn't there, and they're not gonna port it to a new handheld for the same reason it's not on Switch- they care about western dollars, and it would require a complete port ground up for mobile architecture. We don't even know if a handheld will be announced, but assuming World would be announced for it is a huge leap.

I'd let go of that thought. And if by some crazy chance it happens, awesome. But I definitely wouldn't hold my breath.

Does the Japanese game have an English setting? Someone local to me is selling a Switch with this game downloaded onto it, but I'm wondering if it would even be playable . . .

@kevinlo9 Nope. You will only be able to play a localized version if it exists (MXX hasn't been localized yet so no dice.) But Jaxon and the rest of the crew have guides and whatnot if you don't read Japanese.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Thanks!

And 4* village is done, yayz! lol

@JaxonH I thought the x86 architecture the Switch is built on is PC architecture?

@zionich
The Switch uses PC architecture, but adapted to a mobile chip - the Tegra X1. There is no mobile chipset that can be equal to the PS4's specs now, and if you put a PC chipset in a mobile system... eh, say goodbye to your battery.

And I doubt Sony will announce a handheld really, did they not learn fro, the disaster of the Vita?

@Luna_110 Why is the assumption that if the reveal is a new handheld it has to equal the ps4 power to run MH:W? We have already seen ports on the Switch that run games with just a little graphical or performance hit.

If they started to design console games to run at various levels like PC games already do to accommodate hardware, it wouldn't be an issue.

Due to the market target. It is an assumption that Sony's customers would, possibly, like to play their games on the go, but studies also said that they value graphics and performance, and those two don't mix.

And they won't design consoles as you said, because one of the points in favor of consoles is the ease that most stuff is already fixed, and people don't have to fiddle with settings.

What I mean is that in game development, the game is made with multiple settings in mind. That wouldn't effect console gamers.

I see what you are saying as far as what they value but was that a Japanese gamer study or done in the West. I get all I have is speculation, I can still see Sony going to their board with a handheld in mind if they managed to throw enough money at CAPCOM for portable exclusivity. Then all they would have to add is cross save with the ps4 and the rest will be history.

The only reason I can see this is because that was the original plan with the PS3 and the Vita regarding Monster Hunter and then some how it shifted to the Wii and 3ds.

@zionich
Negative, Switch uses a Tegra X1 mobile chip, the same one Nvidia Shield uses. ARM architecture, not x86. The most powerful handheld ever made that runs x86 PC is the GPD Win, and that thing cost $350 and wasn't even half as powerful as a Switch

I mean, anything can happen, but the only way that game is going to end up on a handheld is if they specifically go out of their way to port it to a handheld and downscale it. I'm not saying it's impossible but I am saying that it has a better chance of coming to Switch than it does come to some fictional handheld not even on the market yet.

But like I said, if by some crazy chance we are lucky enough to see a game like that on a handheld, then we can celebrate when the time comes. But those are some lofty expectations to have crushed

I tried adding you on Switch but your Friend Code is wrong. You listed your 3DS friend code twice.
