Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate tidbits – 1080p on Wii U

Check out some new tidbits on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate from this week's Famitsu.

[PopRocks359]

Well, well. Another one bites the dust. Looking forward to it.

[Hatsune-Miku]

Hardware power doesn't matter,lol. That's why most NES fans are waiting for the next Nintendo upgrade system and not content with Wii

[Gr81]

The heck does that mean?

[Abash]

@Poprocks

Stick to using sayings that you actually have a clue what they mean

[PopRocks359]

@Abash

I happen to like Queen, hence the quote. And the reason I said that is because previously people were saying the Wii U did not support native 1080p and then it was revealed that Black Ops 2 ran at native 1080p. So does this game. So chill out.

[chadboban]

Geez Miku, you're getting lazy and it's showing. Your trolls used to be of a higher quality than this. Here I don't even get what you're trying to say. I'm disappointed.

[neogeo]

I agree I'm still waiting for the next ps2 upgrade system so I can also enjoy games like Monster Hunter in 1080p

[mamotte]

You know you're always hating just becuase the WiiU isn't "powerful enoguh to buy it", right?

Ah, whatever, keep on trolling.

[Rockoman16]

Lmao,.....i didn't understand what you said, nice try tho

[stragomccloud]

@Everyone!
Just ignore Miku's comments. He/She is a troll that is really in love with the Wii U. We are all just being trolled. Do not feed the troll! I repeat: DO NOT FEED THE TROLL!

[ElectricKaibutsu]

There was a second there where I thought I grasped Miku's comment, but then it fluttered away like a timid butterfly.

[Shok]

It supports 1080p HD, but is it NATIVE 1080p HD?

That is the question.

[FinalomegaS]

that's the big question, we have been fooled to often with current gen up-scaling

[Qrphe]

Way to be unbiased and not jump the gun.

Your bubbles speak for yourself.

[ronin4life]

It says "Full HD/1080p".

I know very little about HD and upscalling, so whether that confirms it being "Native" I have no idea...@.@

[Yodagamer]

I'd say native 1080p, most companys aren't stupid enough to say it is 1080 when it's actually upres 1080p because they'd have to damage control later on.

[Autodidactdystopia]

Dude it is 1080P native

its not that hard nowadays. why is everyone doubting? its been 7 years guys its about time.

even though my measley opinion matters to no one here i can guaruntee you that they mean NATIVE.

DUH!

[Qrphe]

Because the same things were said for ME3, Assassin's Creed 3 and Arkham City, the way full HD/1080p has been thrown around by developers, and Nintendo's own games (the ones who utilize their own hardware the best every generation) are confirmed for 720p.

I'm not saying MH3 WON'T be native 1080p for sure (probably won't know until it's released), but there are certainly legitimate reasons to doubt it eve though this is new (2012) hardware and it should run 1080p native games no problem.

[Shok]

Because it's a port. With ports, most devs won't bother doing native 1080p.

[ChickeyCantor]

Even if it could. It's a direct Wii port. This game would probably run at 1920p.

[Blastoise]

Im just gonna stick with Tri on the Wii. Monster hunter 4 on the other hand...

[Instigator]

It would be much sweeter if they did this with Monster Hunter 4 instead of another version of Tri.

Oh, well. if the online is great I'll buy it again.

[Perjoss]

I was surprised how good the online was for Tri on the Wii. Loved that game. Quite sad that it was the last western Monster Hunter release. I'd love an english version of that newer 3DS game or even that newish PSP one.

[Instigator]

I'm not a big online Wii gamer, but MHTri was definitely one of the highlights. This is getting an English version in March and I assume it'll be the ultimate version of Tri, so I can deal with not getting 3G or the PSP games.

[metroid32]

Its because when making versions of MH3 on 3ds they found it easy to work with developing them games so went with 3ds only on MH4 wiiu/3ds will get MH5,capcom also said the 3ds handles the RE Revelations visuals quite easy as well so that rumoured RE Downfall might happen on 3ds/wiiu.

[Shok]

When Tri Ultimate releases, they're going to shut down Tri's servers.

So it looks like if you want to continue playing you'll have to pick up Ultimate.

[ronin4life]

They have said the servers will be kept up for awhile, and a good deal of advanced notice will be given when they do decide to shut down.

[Blastoise]

Well then I'll stop playing. I dont plan on picking up a Wii U and I dont want to have to start what is now a 80 hour data from scratch...

[Professor PGX]

Is there a way to transfer data?

[josephayal]

Wii U graphics can compete with next gen consoles

[Hatsune-Miku]

Wii u can't do 4k resolution

[PopRocks359]

Neither can the PS3.

[FirstPlaceMan]

Was the Ps4 confirmed to have 4K? 4K TVs cost $25,000 so it's safe to say it won't support 4k. Probably native 1080p with much more ram and better CPU. Definitely not 4K

[cleft5]

If the ps4 or 720 does 4k the console will cost well over a $1k, look up how much 4ktvs cost dude. With that said, I could see Sony being stupid enough to do it and pricing themselves out of the market, again.

[BitbyDeath]

Why the hate Hatsune?

[Holeran]

PS4 and Nextbox probably will both support 4K for video playback only. Not for games.

[YoungPlex]

Wow, you don't even disguise it anymore huh? Anyway...

This is indeed excellent news, I bought a PS3 because they were supposed to be the first gaming console to do native 1080p but only have a handful of PSN arcade games that do so. Now your boasting 4K when the PS3 has yet to achieve native 1080p? I highly doubt that a PS4 game will run in true native 4K resolution, especially if a game has 3D support, but hey who knows.

At least the Wii U is doing good on what they're advertising on. I'm not buying it for super fancy graphics, but its always good when it's capable of true HD graphics. Enjoy waiting for your "ultimate" PS4, as you stated earlier; I on the other-hand don't need to, and will be getting both at launch. Happy gaming!

[Hatsune-Miku]

Lol, come along my minions where ever I go you mateys follow. I like to talk about games just like others do so whatever interests me I'm there. The ps3 has a few games that supports native 1080p. I also love love love when NES fanatics talk about a systems strength and how Wii u supposedly supports a lot of 1080p games like its a big thing in this day and age. If you NES fanatics love high specs so much then you should know that the ps4 will most likely be 10 times the power of a Wii u.

Ps4 will be able to do 4k resolution and it'll be silly for Sony's biggest media player not to support it. 4k telis ate expensive now but it'll get way cheaper soon especially when more companies start to compete in that market with the resolution.

Ps4 might not support it right away but it'll support it eventually. In order for Sony to make the biggest push for 4k telis and movies and games the ps4 must support it. Nintendo and Sony aren't the same. Nintendo makes weak product that uses old tech from a few years back in its new device while Sony uses cutting edge tech available or not even at mass market yet. Most people here that says ps4 won't support 4k res for movies and some games are just NES fanatics that don't want ps4 to be too powerful than the Wii u.

We all know that ps4 will cost more than the Wii u and it'll be way more powerful. The Wii u is outdated before its release and its expensive for what it offers.

[metroid32]

In fact the Wii U Gpgpu can handle 4K res look it up m8.

[DivineAssault]

There are some ignorant ppl who think me & u are the same person because we share some of the same beliefs.. I dont think they understand that there are ppl who dont feel the wii u is a very groundbreaking console. Let them rejoice that theyre getting HD on a nintendo system finally.. I think they waited long enough for it, dont u? Our time will be here shortly when PS4 is finally shown.. I agree that they are obsessed with graphics all of a sudden after the past 6 years they claimed it didnt matter.. But look at it this way, if this is a port of a wii game in 1080p, PS3 did that years ago with GOW 1 & 2 in 1080p 60fps.. Now, if wii u games dont look any better than PS3 games at the moment, whats going to happen when PS4 comes? If they think PS4 wont immediately look WAY better than the PS3, their in for a real surprise.. We wont need to even speak on the matter because it will be in everyones face the day its shown.. Wii U is a good system for nintendo fans.. $350 + HDD + $60 (WHY IS NINTENDO LAND THIS MUCH?!) 1st party launch games doesnt seem like a good price to me either but some have been waiting a while for this.. We dont need to debate them on PS4 abilities cuz reality will smack em in the face when it arrives.. Wii U isnt even a competitor for PS4, its competing w PS3 & sony isnt even concerned with it because they didnt even drop the price this yr.. Just like 3DS isnt a competitor for Vita, its competing w PSP..

[Garuda33]

Yeah,full 1080p like mh3rd on ps3 or any hd collection on ps360,it's a hd port of a 3ds game but in this case yes,the wiiu graphics can compete with current gen consoles.

[Theyellowflash30]

Its actually a HD Port of a Wii game.

[metroid32]

Next gen consoles m8 DX11-Opengl4.1/Compute shaders and EDRAM say it can ??????

[Grenade]

LOL, "Ultimate".
Capcom cracks me up.
They skipped "Super".

[badz149]

they definitely did! this is an outrage! CRAPCOM, where's my MH3 SUPER??

[Instigator]

"Famitsu reconfirms that you can transfer save data between versions with a free app"

Oh, man, that's gold. Can you imagine if you had to pay for it?

[Yodagamer]

shhh don't give capcom ideas :P

[Perjoss]

Is there supposed to be a Monster Hunter announcement this month for western fans? I think I read that somewhere. I cant wait!

[ronin4life]

There was one already. 3G for 3ds is coming over and is called MH3 Ultimate. It will also be recieving a WiiU port, which is what this story is about.

I wouldn't be surprised if MH4 comes out in late 2013~early-mid 2014 as well.

[yewles1]

Consiering the PS3 version was 1080p, this OUGHTA' be. XD

[rezzah]

Im still pissed that Tri was originally the PS3 exclusive :(

[urwifeminder]

Its the most powerfull console i wouldnt doubt it.

[dubal-e]

I'm not trying to be sarcastic but can someone tell me whats new about Monster Hunter 3 ultimate besides HD. I haven't read up on it. I love Monster Hunter games but I don't wanna buy the same game I've been playing for years in HD. Is there anything new about this version?

[LOL_WUT]

Won't believe it till i see it remember the whole ME3 fiasco...
