lolwut

[OmarJA-N4G]

PS3:

M.A.G
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XIV
The Agency
D.C. Universe Online
.....

Even the PS2 got more MMO games... :)

Go back to trolling school you fail. :)

[Arnon]

Well...

Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV both have servers that connect with the PS2/PS3 and PC versions of the game. Should I even mention that Final Fantasy XI is on the 360? :/

Monster Hunter Frontier Online has separate servers.

The two big MMOs that I want now:

Final Fantasy XIV Online
Monster Hunter Frontier Online

[-MD-]

You think MAG is an MMO? Lol.

[baker_boi]

Yall forget that the PS3 has I think about 4 MMOs in japan?

Angel Love Online and its better Sequel

Dynasty Warriors Online

And that Pirate/Exploration game by Namco

And soon to be FFXIV all of which work with the PC version servers.

It has nothing to do with hardware on this. Capcom and M$ have made some big deal money contracts. And they still haven't revealed the game they're workin on for natal.

[ActionBastard]

This just feels like there's some suit behind a table saying "Try Blue Dragon...Didn't work? Try Eternal Sonata...Didn't work? Try Tales of Vesperia...Didn't work?...Try Star Ocean 4...Didn't work? Try Infinite Undiscovery...Did't work?...Oh! Oh! I know! Try Monster Hunter..."

EDIT: The same was said about the Xbox Torkith and the 360 hasn't performed much better than it. It's great that they won;t waive the white flag, but the money, energy and resources could be spent on beefing up their 1st party stuff. They are too, too, too 3rd reliant.

[Torkith]

I do give credit where it's do though, many companies would probably have backed out for sure by now. Microsoft just keeps going, and it's slowly paying off, Will the 360 sales reach the PS3 and Wii in Japan? no, but it's helping them a lot to set up for the next generation imo.

[Rock Bottom]

For those who does not know this, Monster Hunter Frontier was released on PC back in 2007, in Japan. This isn't a new game, I'm guessing just an HD version as it has the exact same name as the original.

This isn't as big as you people think, and doesn't deserve all the complaints and fanboys cry it's getting.

[LukaX23]

Whether or not this game will be good, I personally believe it will fail in terms of sales. If you look at what 360 users are buying now, (Gears of War 2, Halo: ODST and Fable 2 are some good examples) it doesn't seem a game like MH will appeal to the non-hardcore 360 audience (which is a good portion of them).

[Foxgod]

This is aimed at the Japanese market you simpletons, not at the western market.

And all those so called failed games you mention still pulled it off to sell 10 x more 360's then original xbox's.
Also those games outsold a bunch of exclusive ps3 rpg's released in japan only.

Imagine if the next xbox will sell 10 x more then the 360 in Japan.
Thats why MS keeps trying, theres potential to unlock.

[SilentNegotiator]

That's what the whole "Capcom X Microsoft" thing was about? A port? Wow.

It probably won't sell much. I wonder how much Microsoft wasted on exclusivity (To a freaking port....lol) this time around.

The latest PSP game sold well over 4 million. They'll come crawling back to the Playstation crowd with Monster Hunter, it's only a matter of time.

[Noctis Aftermath]

@above: yeah i was shocked that they announced MH as the Capcom X microsoft game, but then found out later that it is just a port of a old PC game.

My hopes for a PS3 exclusive MH just came back.

[ActionBastard]

It's also $15 per month ON TOP of your Gold subscription...in Japan.

[Torkith]

The only thing I'm wondering is that is this coming to North America? We would have to assume so, the game has been on the PC since 2007 in Japan, what would make someone want to buy it on the 360? Chances are people are already playing it on the PC, or they didn't want to play it in the first place.

PC and 360 servers will be separate. It's going to be hard for this to be successful if it turns out to have a $15 a month price tag, however if they make it available to Silver users, that would help.

[Arnon]

This is awesome!! I've missed gaming with Monster Hunter on consoles, and have wanted to try out Frontier since I heard about it back in 2007. Check out the video on the website. It looks crazy fun!

I'm so used to looking at the PSP versions, that this actually looks fairly gorgeous for a Monster Hunter game.

Edit@Below

"and have wanted to try out Frontier since I heard about it back in 2007." I know it's exclusive to the PC in Japan. That's why I'm hoping for a NA release of this. I've been a major Monster Hunter nut since it released in the US back in 2004, and have followed basically all of their titles.

[ZombieAutopsy]

hope you live in japan if you're wanting to try this as the PC version i believe was in Japanese only and they havent announced an NA or EU version for it yet (although i could see them doing it after the Japan release if its successful)

[NoOoB101]

LOL
Really? are you being serious right now?
Your 4v4 gears of war lags while 256 players on MAG can run silky smooth..
Dedicated servers ps3 > p2p xbox

btw ps2 ran MMOs.

[polow got sol]

epic cant to play this it looks so fun

[OmegaSlayer]

The game looks worse than MH 3.
From a next gen MH I expected at least Lost Planet 2 visuals, since both PS3 and 360 are able to output them.

[Tony P]

You expect LP2 visuals? That is completely unrealistic.

First, it is OLDER than Tri. Second, it is an MMO. That means more players and worse graphics. That's just how it goes.

You guys expect consoles to be able to run stuff that looks like Aion, with as many features, and cost nothing. Get real, people. I'd be surprised if consoles could run WoW reliably, let alone a graphically demanding MMO.

[OmegaSlayer]

Sorry, I didn't read it was an MMO, and that it was a port of an old game, anyway I don't see the point of this game now on ANY console.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

You have to respect Microsoft for still wanting to fight. They're getting their butts whooped in Japan and they keep on swinging. Great stuff Microsoft. Never was a fan of this franchise but I know it's one of the big ones over there and this will definitely make the biggest dent yet in Japan.

[Foxgod]

They do still get their butt whooped, but a whole lot less then with the original xbox.
They are not doing very good, but better then they ever did anyway.

If the ps3 can sell 10 million units in Japan, then so can the 360, MS just hasnt found the right swing yet in Japan.

[bjornbear]

sure =)

[kvg88]

just went out the window.

[nefertis]

im going back to play demons souls. Play3beyond

[bjornbear]

this was the big surprise? *lolz*

its ok Capcom I still luv yu! =3 BRING ME RES EVIL DIRECTORS CUT A.S.A.P!

Res evil junkie here haven't had my FIX SINCE 4! =(

[redneck_smith]

PLZ MICROSOFT DON'T WASTE UR MONEY IN JAPAN, 1.02 billion people across the world are hungry, C'MON BILL GATES DO SOMETHING BETTER!

[FinalomegaS]

people might want to look at the BIG picture...

Didn't the Wii get MHG before Tri? This might be to warm people up to the fact there is going to be a MH online in HD, reason why they probably didn't announce for the PS3 ( MS paid for time exclusive, wouldn't be surprise).

Maybe live's infrastructure is better suited for their pay2play model.

Bottom line is MH is getting up there and they will milk this cow until she's dry hehe.

I can't see Capcom bringing this to 360 then releasing some sort of MH exclusive on PS3, that wouldn't make any sense. I'm more interested in Tri with pro controller bundle atm and this will only open up MH to more gamers which is a good thing.

would like to see the sales of this in Japan..

[jackdoe]

Actually, it would make sense as MH is big in Japan and the 360's install base is insignificant over there. A port of a three year old game will not change that. MH will come to the PS3, though it may be a port of MH3 much like the whole Sengoku Basara business.

[agent027]

It will flop on the Flop60. :-)

[FinalomegaS]

MH3 had the big push with the Nintendo execs when it was revealed as an exclusive, Basara was on the PS2 so I can see that the PS2 sale aren't there anymore. Makes sense for Capcom to have it on the wii and the PS3.
