And the fifth seal was broken, and lo the skies turned to blood...

That must be why we're talking about Monster Hunting moving from the Wii to the PS3.

It's one game, do we even have to compare the 3rd party line up all over again? 

[stray]

Is there something about being a PS3 fanboy that makes people forget how capitalism works and how companies operate?

Are you kidding?  We're lucky they don't collapse the very laws of time and space for miles around them.

Stop being smartasses guys. I'm disappointed not because it's on the Wii, but because it's been abandoned entirely on the PS3.

Once again, Monster Hunter on the PSP was the best selling portable game of last year. The best selling game completely last year. Yes, in Japan, but whatever, it won't sell on the Wii here either.

The DS has an install base 6 times larger than the PSP.

Oh wait.

A lot like the Wii.

If that's not telling of where Monster Hunter's fans are, I don't know what is.

I lost my original post somewhere in the ether, but, why wouldn't MH3 publish a nicely polished version for PS3 and then port a shittastic version for Wii?


It isn't like most Wii gamers know the difference anyway.

I think, in the face of a money grab (Much like the rumors of RE4 ported to the RE5 engine just for the graphics), Sony will announce a PS3 version 6 months down the line with added content. It seems companies have started to like releasing an Early Adopter Version to delay the real version their working on. Sorta like Gears of War for the PC.

It's tasteless, but it's hard to fight really.

[cmlancas]

Wouldn't that just be good for PS3 gamers in the long run? Taking sports games for the Wii as an example, those games are complete shit; I wouldn't play anything sports on the Wii that wasn't part of the free package Ninty sent with my console. It seems to me that the original release for another console (if it is truly like a trial release) sounds much like an extended beta test.

Which kinda makes me laugh on the inside, if that's what the Wii devolves into. I'm not trying to become a huge Wii hater, because I played the shit out of it drunkenly with my friends when I first got it for a month, but I'll be damned if I've even set the thing up since I moved into my new apartment in June.


Oh, and the grammar snake lurks. Posters beware!

[Sky]

Haemish, you keep saying it and every time it looks retarded. When a third party makes a game on the Wii, when they could CLEARLY have made it better on another system (in this case the PC - network infrastructure better and will be MUCH better, hard drive loading, the ability to have uncompressed audio, a REAL CONTROLLER, to be played on the same system as the prequels), it does hurt games. It just doesn't hurt as much as not bringing it out as all. Also I'll pay $10-$20 more ALL DAY LONG to not have it look like muddled shit.

FIFY

Because developing that nicely polished version for the PS3 is likely about 4-6 times more expensive than just creating it for the Wii in the first place. And seeing as how the Wii has about 4 times more owners than the PS3, it would take every single PS3 owner to buy the game to make back the money they could make by just doing the cheaper Wii version.

Uh, I've got history on my side with Capcom titles across multiple losing consoles. Why don't you go ahead and back up what you just said, thanx.

[Roac]

I don't think anyone is suggesting that putting a game on the Wii is bad business, just bad for gamers. 

No.  What's bad for gamers is when gamers can't play games.  Sony fucked up because they made a system that many gamers couldn't or wouldn't buy, and developers couldn't develop for.  "OMG, the PS3 has awesome hardware so it's so cool!"  No.  The PS3 sucks ass because it's not being used for games.  A Cray has awesome hardware too, but using that as a gaming platform is hardly good for gamers.

[schild]

I'll say this: I think it's funny that Sony is building up Yet Another Console based on Final Fantasy mainline series, 1st Party titles/Insomniac stuff, and Metal Gear. Good for them I think, they're going to learn some hard lessons.

[taolurker]

Honestly I don't really even know what Monster Hunter 3 is.

It's essentially Pokeman.

Now I know why you like MMOGs, you're retarded.

Edit: To elaborate - don't hand out misinformation like you work at Costco. Go back to muttering endlessly about MMOGs because at least there you drown out in the torrent of armchair designers.

You're a douche, and I sometimes post sarcastic comments without green text.

For someone who the post beore could've done a search about the game I thought the response was comedy gold, but your answer was doubly so probably with only me laughing. Thanks for insulting me again, I just got (130) in punchingbag skill.

FYI I haven't played the game, cared about bad import JRPGs, owned a PS2 or actually followed these titles, but I did know it was a poorly reviewed Capcom one that I probably would've looked to rent if the PS3 I was intending to buy could've done backward compatibility.

You may now continue the Wii hate where it left off.

[schild]

So, what you're saying is, I was right and there was no way to tell it was a joke.

[taolurker]

and that you're a douche who hates the Wii

[schild]

and that you're a douche who hates the Wii

Uh, ok?

Based on cmlancas' post, I want to amend my earlier assertion that the Wii is the Toyota Camry of consoles:

The Wii is the fat chick of consoles.

[Velorath]

I think they missed Zack & Wiki, which by all accounts is releasing on the 23rd of this month.

[schild]

Weird, since this is from Nintendo.

Z&W isn't out in Japan yet though, so not likely.

[Bokonon]

I don't see how TH:PG or Manhunt 2 are non-games/minigames/shovelware/kiddie bullshit.

[Velorath]

I don't know.  EBgames, Amazon.com, IGN, and even Capcom's website all say Oct. 23rd.

Removed crotchsaws.

[schild]

Manhunt 2 was originally a PS2 game. Wiggle waggled in.

[Velorath]

In fact, that list seems to have a problem with Capcom games in general, because RE: Umbrella Chronicles (Nov. 13th) is missing as well.

Edit:  Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is also missing, although maybe that was just to spare us a rant about waggle controls, shovelware, superior PS2 version and all that...

[schild]

You're right. And that's weird (the capcom thing that is).

[Margalis]

You are the guys complaining that games are moving from the PS3 to the Wii, not me.

[schild]

Edit:  Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is also missing, although maybe that was just to spare us a rant about waggle controls, shovelware, superior PS2 version and all that...

Came out at the end of September. Also, uh, yea, the PS2 version is superior in every which way. Including arcade sticks available. But you already knew that.

I don't think the Wii version comes out until next week.  I don't doubt that waggle doesn't really fit with this game though (although I think it does have at least have the option to play with the classic controller).

[Azazel]

Manhunt 2 was originally a PS2 game. Wiggle waggled in.

um.. so anything that's released on a different platform is a real game right up until it's ported to the Wii and has some stuff added to take advantage of the Wii's controller?

Make sure you add anything that's released on a 360 that also uses sixaxis, or hell, rumble to your next shovelware list for PS3.

Really Schild. You're so transparent when it comes to your Wii hate that you're at the point of being comical...

[Velorath]

You're right. And that's weird (the capcom thing that is).

What's weird (or maybe just stupid) is the fact that they're obviously not marketing Zack and Wiki much if you didn't even know that it was being released in less than two weeks.

Man, there's like one movie of it. And they're sending it to death if it ACTUALLY releases in 2 weeks.
