Also on Gamepass Day 1 with Xbox and PC Crossplay. Also has cross progression. Just thought I add that information.

Orchard512d ago (Edited 512d ago )

PC GamePass too? or just crossplay w/ PC? Do you have a link?

EDIT: I found the trailer, https://www.youtube.com/wat...

-Mika-512d ago

Yes, PC gamepass. Not the steam version. Should have clarified that.

Deathdeliverer512d ago

It’s not crossplay on any console with PC. Xbox series consoles are together, PlayStation consoles together, PC together. Capcom is saying they will look into it. This is misleading as hell. All it’s saying is it’s coming the windows store as ridiculous as that sounds.

Orchard512d ago

This is sort of true and sort of not. It's a confusing situation for sure - they've made a real mess of it.

Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC GamePass all have cross-platform multiplayer and cross-platform progression.
PS4 and PS5 have cross-platform multiplayer but no cross-platform progression.

Everything else (e.g. Steam, Switch etc) or any combination of PS and Xbox, or PS and PC GamePass cannot cross-play or cross-progress.

Deathdeliverer512d ago

@orchard

Actually it is cross play with PC IF they use the Xbox app ON PC. If that isn’t confusing as hell I don’t know what is. That’s the caveat. Why a barrier like that would exist is beyond me. Either way, I’m not getting it.

Orchard511d ago

@Deathdeliverer Yeah, a lot of PC GamePass games (or those bought from the Windows Store - but who does that!?) use Xbox Live so they support cross-play and cloud saves with the Xbox consoles.

It is confusing for sure, and a tradeoff, I'm not sure if I'd rather play with console people or perhaps cross-play with other PC gamers on Steam?

And yeah, the barrier is kinda lazy on Capcoms part when they are delivering other games like SF6 that have full cross-play.

shinoff2183512d ago (Edited 512d ago )

I'd still rather play it on ps. Feels more at home and natural

Cross play is overrated and to boot I don't even like gaming online.

Vits512d ago

A little odd that they are not bringing it together with the DLC. The base game is fine, but it's the DLC that really sold me.

MetroidFREAK21512d ago

Hope there is physical copies. Going PS5 for the solo experience personally

ocelot07512d ago

I assume if I enjoyed monster hunter world's I'll enjoy this? Spite having a switch i never got around to getting this.

Sirk7x511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

It's a much faster-paced game than World, with wayyy more mobility and speed. Designed for shorter hunts, as it was built for Switch with portable play in mind. With that in mind, don't expect graphics or environments to be anywhere near World's. Rise is a great looking game on Switch, but still not anywhere near World's fidelity, and some people who only played World are probably going to be disappointed if buying on new gen, thinking they're buying a new MH game. Also, Rise has much more of a Japanese aesthetic compared to World's European, so that might be a point of contention with some people as well. That being said, if you like the core gameplay of Monster Hunter, Rise is a very good game, one of the best in the series.

ocelot07511d ago

Remember I played one on psp and Wii and remember enjoying them.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH512d ago

Thank god I didn’t buy this for Switch. Looking forward to it.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics91d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken91d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

FinalFantasyFanatic91d ago

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken90d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8890d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS90d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos90d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS90d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam91d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg90d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

An orange and bladed Zaber Fang (from Zoids) themed after the Sand Barioth (from Monster Hunter) would have been my choice.
Hopefully Zoids outside of Wild get crossovers too.

Usually have kids that soak up 90% of 'free' time.
So gaming solo or together is a luxury.
