Where's The PS3 Love, Capcom?

Monster Hunter. It’s all in the name. You hunt monsters with up to three other people, and use the remains of defeated monsters to build better armor and weapons to take on other monsters. It all makes for a great gaming experience, and over the past six years there have been sequels and rereleases for the PS2, PSP, Wii, and Xbox 360, but nothing for the PlayStation 3. While anyone on any platform should be able to experience the awe of defeating their first Rathalos, Capcom has yet to release a Monster Hunter title for the PS3. Now why is that?

So yeah, I don't see why they wouldn't bring the franchise to PS3. It's on every other console and handheld on the market. Capcom's just hurting themselves.

rroded5750d ago

seriously no ps3 monster hunter even after the 360 version bombed

I say they were paid by ms not ta put on the ps3?

Natsu X FairyTail5750d ago (Edited 5750d ago )

PS3 version was a Port of a PC game that came out Years ago. So it bombing in Japan is not even that serious. I would bet that Capcom needed to do a quick cash-in so they released it again to get a few bucks from the monthly fee the japanese have to pay to play the game + paying xbl.

and no Why would MS pay for a game not to come out on PS3 if it's not even on available on xbox?

If Capcom wants to make a HD MH game it's obviously going to be aMultiplatform game on PC ,xbox and ps3 and not Exclusive to sony.

Just keeping it real. I dont expect none of you lames to agree tho.

edit @Sunnygrg : So now that there'S no MH game on the PS3 The series is bad? WKC is better than Monster hunter Tri? Hahah what in the world wrong with u?

CAPCOM is sleeping MS.

SquareEnix must feel like a tramp right now.

sunnygrg5750d ago (Edited 5750d ago )

There is a better game, its called White Knight Chronicles :)

You do quests with 3 other people and use monster loots and rewards to build your avatar.

In WKC2, you do that with 5 other people.

@Natsu: I doubt any, ANY reviewers spent any more than a couple of hours on the online portion of the game. Think of reviewing MH games based entirely on the Single Player portion. And it has nothing to do with MH not coming to the PS3. In fact, that maybe one of the reasons I started playing WKC in the first place.

Arnon5750d ago (Edited 5750d ago )

Yeah... no. Monster Hunter is absolutely amazing and I would kill for that franchise to appear on the PS3. By far one of the most memorable games I played back on the PS2. I love the PSP versions, but I want my Rathalos' in glorious HD.

White Knight Chronicles personally doesn't hold a candle to that franchise. Monster Hunter has had 4-player co-op since 2004. It's armor and weapon catalog is second to none, and it's customization is practically limitless. The only game that I would compare with catalog sizes would be Phantasy Star Online or an MMO.

Muletroid5750d ago

white knight a better game? LOL LOL LOL
you are beyond delusional if you actually think that

Masamori Sumimura5750d ago (Edited 5750d ago )

Natsu I think you meant to say The Xbox version was a port from pc Instead of Ps3.

Dragun6195750d ago

@Natsu

I see no reason why Capcom wouldn't give PS3 a Monster Hunter exclusive. I mean they were able to give Xbox 360 one with Monster Hunter Frontier and the Wii with Monster Hunter Tri, why not one for PS3?

And while the average of Reviewer's score on Metacritc low. Most Jrpg fans like me say White Knight chronicles is a solid Rpg with a decent SP and a Good Online Component. I doubt you even tried it yet. One can argue WKC is better than MH Tri because it just implements online better say as in enabling Voice chat.

CrazyForGames5750d ago

they still make em for the psp though and that rakes them in big bank
i don't think making one for ps3 would make them anymore $$$ than what they are making now on the psp

they will make a ps3 MH eventually though everyone just has to be patient and wait for it
im willing to bet it will just be a port of another MH game less work and more pay

Godmars2905750d ago

Because they lack the talent, the willingness to invest it as well as resources, into a more MMO-ish game.

52pickup5750d ago

Both Capcom and Square Enix have made some dodgy decisions this generation.

DJ5750d ago

Skipped the PS3 platform for three years, and then complained when their financial earnings went downhill. I was like "...seriously? You guys didn't see this coming?"

dredgewalker5750d ago

Lol...SE deserved that and more. I personally do not like them the way they are right now and they are trying to get back in bed with Sony seeing that the PS3 is a stable platform to sell games. They are not the Square of old anymore much like Capcom. Wada is a complete jerk and his decisions has cost Square their reputation.

Infernostew5750d ago

I am still baffled why they never ported Dead Rising to PS3 but instead did a downgraded port to Wii that sold like sh!t.

Nitrowolf25750d ago

give us a MH for PS3 ( a real full pledge one)
Capcom if you do that and reveal it at TGS i will love you again but only if that happens and it gets western release

Newtype5750d ago

MH was best on the PS platform. Wii is proof to this, look at the controller that was created for MH! I mean, that's a frickin' DS3!

Seferoth755750d ago

Its an updated Snes controller Which is exactly where Sony got the design for the PS controller from in the first place.
Pretty much the same one they sold when Wii launched, except for the hand grips.

jneul5750d ago (Edited 5750d ago )

oh right so it's ok for Nintendo to copy the DS3....
at least when sony took inspiration from the snes controller they actually added things to it, to make it better, take one look at that controller again and tell me it does not look exactly like a DS3
This is the typical response we get from ninty fans it's ok for Nintendo to copy but when someone else does it, it's a bad practice

turok5749d ago (Edited 5749d ago )

like when sony copied the rumble feature as well as the analog stick from ninty? typical sony losefag. go play beyond sony stuff and be enlightened. and no snes controller still beastly sony did NOT improve from it.

learn ur gaming u dumbfuck. to start learning just play any console/handheld that isnt sony. its that easy.

Seferoth755749d ago

Most Sony fans are morons anyway. They cant put two and two together. It is well known that Sony and NIntendo were working together before the release of the PS or the N64. Sony releases a controller that is pretty much a Snes controller only it has 2 more shoulder buttons.

These kids are so clueless if you put 2 of the exact same car in front of them only different colors those morons would claim they are completely different cars.

Sad that for all their fanboy disagrees not one could post a shred of evidence proving me wrong.

@jneul, Hey moron. What you fail to comprehend is they are not ripping the DS3 off.They just updated the Snes controller the way Sony did. Kind of sad and really pathetic that you think they are ripping off Sony yet they are the ones that Sony ripped off.... I bet you have some really lame excuse for them copying the Wii remote design down to almost an exact copy right? That's okay in your eyes but Nintendo updated a design Sony stole is just completely wrong? Love you fanboys and two faced ignorance.

Koromaro5750d ago

I'm Still mad at Capcom for the whole MH thing =(

Studio-YaMi5750d ago

PSP doesn't cut it for me anymore...
I want my PS3 MH fix now God dammit ! >:(

dredgewalker5750d ago

I am not only mad, I am fuming with rage knowing that the PS3 has been devoid of any MH game. I am so convinced that Nintendo paid them good money so it won't come out to the PS3.

turok5749d ago

Nintendo isnt sony or ms. Ninty dont pay up for exclusive 3rd party. usually its the other way around :D. they pay ninty to dev for its platforms.

/s that was funny.

Seriously though nintendo is not that way sorry that nintendo dont do sony/ms tactics.

Mahr5749d ago

"Nintendo isnt sony or ms. Ninty dont pay up for exclusive 3rd party."

Right, and this is a large part of why the Wii's third-party release calendar for 2011 is a veritable wasteland. On the bright side, Nintendo seems to be understanding the reality of the situation and appears to be changing tactics.

Granted, they did not explicitly moneyhat Capcom for Tri (that we know of) but it is very well-established that a huge part of the game swapping systems was that Nintendo agreed to in effect publish and push the game in the West. Distribution costs? Nintendo handled them. Capcom being allowed creative input on the Classic Controller redesign? Nintendo allowed that. That ridiculously huge marketing campaign? Nintendo foot the bill.

"Seriously though nintendo is not that way"

Well, nobody's perfect, but fortunately they're working on it. If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!

If you want, Nintendo can be either Rocky *or* Communism in the example. That's the beauty of the analogy.

I was extremly excited for this release on PS3, im a fan of MH since it came out back in 2004, when i found out that they wernt going to bring out Mh for the PS3 I decided not to play any more MH game until they brought one out. Beside lifes gettin busier and I cant play the PSP verions like I once did (600 hours+).

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg22d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree22d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai21d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
