User blog:XWildfireX/The future of Monster Hunter.

A few days ago I posted a comment on the monster hunter portable 3rd page with the question: What do you guys think the future might hold for the series?

Now, I don't mean to sound like a nerd but between me and my brother we have all current generation game consoles, except for the Nintendo DS. We have a psp each and spend hours on MHFU every week. So, whatever console monster hunter continues on, I can play it.

Monster hunter has advanced far into its "3rd Generation" and IMO has done nothing but improve.(aside from the limited amount of content for an MH game in tri) I know Frontier has been released on the XboX360 in Japan, but to be honest the majority of online gamers on the 360 (from my experience) are too busy with first person shooters such as Call of duty (no disrespect to the series), which takes little concentration to play, unlike MH.

So I think the xbox would be a bad choice for Capcom. But i'm not just talking about frontier, but the continuation of monster hunter as a series. It could always stick with the wii, tri seems to be finally getting up a fanbase that MH deserves(I play on the eu servers). Owning a PS3 I was disappointed to see tri move from PS3 to Wii, but it's a great game and an advance in the series capcom should be proud of.

In terms of consoles that leaves just the ps3, which might be a good choice. Tri, to my knowlage was cut due to the costs. But after portable 3rd, which is apparently estimated to sell 5million copies, paired with the growth in the series success, given by tri Capcom may be able to create a game on ps3 which would have a reasonable fanbase due to people playing mhfu on ad-hoc party (like me!).

Thanks for reading, post your ideas and i leave you with a picture comparison to show how far the series has come.



(thanks capcom)
