Spoiler: Official Trailer

The game was announced in the direct just a few minutes ago.
It seems like a fast paced action game, which is quite different from the regular MH series.

If only something like frontier came to the west
But i'll roll with the punches when it comes to MH

If that was localize it better not be monthly subscription based.

You would have to deal with the buttload of releases they do for it instead, xD

Or they could just come up with a consumer friendly way of dealing with it.

And I have yet to start MH4U yet...

And I have yet to start MH4U yet...

If it's coming out in the West, and assuming that's the version you're getting, it won't be until at least 2017. The original MH4 came out in Q3 2013, and we got the Ultimate version in Q1 2015. There's PLENTY of time to get it done!

i'm not sure how i feel about this game, i mean i love monster hunter 4 ultimate. but this kinda feels like it would be

 

[MidLevelCrisis]

Lol, completely missed this announcement. Made me very happy though as MH4U is probably my most played game, and im yearning for some new content.
I assume the 2015 date is for japan, can we expect to be waiting another year in the west untill they've made MH5 Ultimate somewhere mid 2016?

It comes out next month in japan and it took them four months to localize 4 ultimate, so it might come out winter 2016 for the west.

But they usually make the West wait a little bit more, to give JP players enough time to acclimate to the new game, and to get DLCs rolling.

I'm Just assuming they're using the same schedule as last time. I don't know what you mean by giving JP players time to acclimate.

"Time to acclimate" = Time to get used to the new game. We all know that Capcom never really throws MH games to the west until JP players have had their fill first. It's basically a mix of nationalism and consumer preferences, like how some businesses prefers catering a certain part of the market, prioritizing these before dealing with the rest.

While capcom's market is definitely in japan, I don't think the game is delayed for nationalistic reasons. It takes time for a game to be translated, in fact localisation for mh4u probably began before the japansese release judging by how fast they put it out everywhere else. It's in their best interest to release the game sooner anyways.

That's just my take or spin on things, in any case.

True, Japan is their biggest market and the series popularity there pales compared to the western market.. but I feel like MH TRI was kind of an experiement for them and did ok, MH4U was a more serious effort and was recieved very well here. I think they do recognize the interest from the west is becoming bigger for this series. Also I think localization for these games takes deceptively long to do right. So many puns and language and cultural specific references.

The thing is, Japan always got 2 versions right? the first only going up to HR quests and the second adding all Grank stuff and endgame DLC, and when that version was done they'd make the western release that included all. Or did they ditch that dev cycle and are releasing the complete versions now, with only some DLC quests later on?

Oh well, might be able to try out cross using regionfree and sky hopefully. The new game seems a mix of all previous ones, but since I only started with MH3 most stuff should be new for me.

I'm pretty close on 100%ting MH4U now... aside from S ranking arena challenges, fck those for soloing....
