Monster Hunter Rise demo impressions thread (update with new mission out now)
- Thread starter Deleted member 10737
- Start date
Well the logic is simple. Capcom no doubt thinks that the Switch can help meet their sales expectations for this entry, but not in Asia where consoles just aren't as popular. And so the PC version mitigates that in a way the PS4 and Xbox wouldn't.
In Japan the game will far exceed the PS4 sales on Switch, and it has a good chance of doing extremely well in NA and EU on the Switch as well.
As an exclusive in the PS4 prime years - how much would Rise sell now as a title developed with Switch in mind that has Nintendo exclusive marketing, looks "worse" and probably would have launched first on Switch either way ? It wouldnt come anywhere close to MHW numbers - which is the reason why Capcom is waiting for the big next-gen return with MHW2/VI to satisfy the demand on these plattforms again.
MH games also sold millions on portables before yet MHW wasnt developed with or for the portable market in mind.
Not saying multiplattform wouldnt make sense in general but MHR on PS4 wouldnt be able to perform nearly as well as MHW did - where the whole rollout and marketing was developed around it being a exclusive in Japan.
Either way...sry for keeping this topic up, i dont think its necessary to go back and forth on this in the demo thread.
Super excited for the demo but knowing there is a PC version in the works makes it so hard to wait for that :(
ya i hope they learn how to give an option for just a simple matchmaking bucket. pick a monster or hunt or zone, click matchmake and be done w/ it. the SoS system was/is really bad IMO
Oh, so when the shoe is on the other foot, Sony console owners don't like being denied access to a game that should be available on all platforms? This is why those of us who don't own PS4s dislike Sony's obsession with exclusivity contracts. Regardless, this is how the industry works right now, for better or worse.
edit - to be super clear here, I disagree with exclusivity contracts unless they were required to fund a game being made in the first place. But I still disagree with permanent exclusivity.

This seemed obvious to me.
And not specific to Rise but there are plenty countries/regions where PC gaming is comparatively big while very few people have consoles. There's a reason why everything under the sun seems to be heading to PC.
Apparently the demo will be available in 3 hours.

That's when Japanese youtubers will upload "pre-release" gameplay of the demo. It's not a time for the demo release.

I think the demo is gonna be live until the start of February
So a max of 50 minutes per hunt times 30 quests means we get ~25 hours of active game time with the demo, shorter if you're good at killin' monsties. Or more if you're extending your time in training. Interesting.
Wait what if they decrease the hunt times to 30 minutes for certain monsters, or what if there are other monsters to hunt in the demo besides the ones listed?
...gonna have to min-max my demo sessions...

I like how people are trying to pretend Monster hunter console (yes that includes handhelds) warriors aren't all insufferable.
As someone that got started on PSP, played MH Tri on Wii, played MHP3rd again on PSP, got a 3DS and Wii U *for* Monster Hunter...
C'mon folks. The series isn't "owned" by any one platform.

According to the tweet, they will release the demo after the introduction gameplay video on January 8, 8am JST. That's in about two hours actually. However, when that wille, they didn't mention. it can be an hour later, it can also be 5 hours later.
Wonder if there will be hidden monsters to fight in the quests, like how you could fight Diablos and Rathalos in the MHW Beta if you went out of your way on the off-beaten track to try and fight them.
I have never wanted to get into a Monster Hunter game so bad as this one I will dedicate my self to learning some of the basics today
Maybe, we are not completely sure.
In 1h50m the upload embargo for Japanese streamers content creators is over and many think that's also when the demo is available
Lol, for real. I wish it was on PC at launch, I would get it there over Switch if it was, but is what it is. 🤷
MH is just a dirty dirty franchise that loves to get passed around XD
As someone with a long commute to work I am looking forward to playing this on the train. I don't understand Capcoms thinking in hopping around platforms all the time. Just release them for everything.
It's split into a single player section and multiplayer section and progress between each isn't shared. But the quests themselves are different.
Monster Hunter Rise is ALSO being kept off of XBOX. But there's no real point in having this discussion as we know the circumstances.
There's just no reason to be happy when your own platform gets an exclusive if you're also going to be mad when it doesn't. And that goes in both directions.

Capcom France said 9AM European time, so that's midnight Pacific / 3AM Eastern.
BONKMASTER900 REPORTING FOR DUTYWHERE ARE MY HAMMER BROS?!?!?!
Waiting to go BONKERS on this demo tonight!WHERE ARE MY HAMMER BROS?!?!?!
HUH
Absolutely.
With MH being my favourite third party IP in the whole industry, I hate how it's being used as a tool for console warriors and bitching about other platforms.
Just let all of them have good MH games, be it multi-plat on every single one or dedicated versions for different platforms, like with the portable and home console entries.
So long as people get to play these wonderful games the way they want to play them, be it on the big TV, a handheld, PC... It's all good.
Honestly does even Capcom know when it's releasing at this point. Different branches have given us several different times, none of which were the one in the trailer
here but without a switch 😢WHERE ARE MY HAMMER BROS?!?!?!
Fortunately it looks like PC may be the platform that only has to deal with with delayed releases, but should be getting every MH going forward... that's some sort of compromise I guess.
This whole comparison loses when MHW sold north of 8 million on PS4 alone.
Which is great for preservation's sake already. And all the options PC gaming inherently offers, so basically win-win.
