Monster Hunter Frontier- G has been quite successful on Wii U , Xbox 360 and PS3 in Japan, having reached the mark of 3 million copies sold. Although this game has not yet enjoyed worldwide commercial success, it is quite intriguing to think about what it would be like to transform Monster Hunter into an MMORPG with a monthly subscription fee.
For many Monster Hunter fans, it's not too difficult to see this transformation. Unfortunately there has never been any hint of a release outside of Japan, but this week in an internal interview Capcom gave a small hope that western territories would be on the agenda for a possible release.
The website Siliconera translated an interview with Yoshinorio Ono from Capcom about the “Monster Hunter MMORPG”
” The letter 'G' in Monster Hunter's title indicates that it is compatible across multiple platforms, such as PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360, and PC. We are also planning to extend it to PS Vita.
The main reason we have increased connectivity with various platforms is because we have our sights set on distribution outside of Japan in the future. We can't just release a game as is, we need to adapt all the necessary services to the unique characteristics of each region. And to prepare for this, we've been expanding our reach by launching on several different platforms. “
Monster Hunter Frontier G is actually an expansion for Monster Hunter Frontier Online, which was originally released for PC in 2007 and then for Xbox 360 in 2010.
Remembering that this same challenge is being done with Skyrim, which is already in beta testing. Personally, I find this transition from a game to an MMORPG very complicated. In this transition, many features of the game are usually lost, and the biggest challenge is to show something new and unique, not only to fans but to new players as well. I hope Capcom works very well on these details that in an MMORPG make all the difference between success and failure.
Hey guys, would you like an MMORPG based on Monster Hunter, with a monthly subscription? For you to think a little better, I'll leave below the EPIC trailer that accompanied the announcement of the launch of Monster Hunter Frontier G on PS3 and Wii U last year.
