Why can't capcunt port 3rd gen monster hunter to pc

>>717980432 (OP)
Capcom is afraid that ports of the older games would cannibalize the sales and playerbase of the nu-MH games.
Which is a correct assumption because nu-MH is fucking rancid dogshite and it's never going to get better.

Whilst I still absolutely loved World, I thought on release it was a step in the right direction, but looking at both Rise and Wilds it was a mistake. 3U is probably up there as my fave.

I don't think capcom is afraid of that, I think porting old slop would devalue the new monster hunter brand that started with world

>>717980432 (OP)
they would lose their cult fans going forward for new releases. basically, you and I wouldn't buy the new games if the old ones were officially ported.
the old games aren't exactly hard to emulate, and we even have fan servers to play online. but with an official port, the playerbase would be several times larger, simply because of exposure and the rock bottom requirement for entry compared to emulation. it would be something like, the steam sales of Dark Souls, where the multiplayer used to always explode with activity when the game went on discount, and Dark Souls veteran utubers would make a ton more videos of invasions, further exposing the game to new potential players.

with a bustling multiplayer on the best games in the series, why would YOU ever play the new games? you wouldn't. and people with some taste like you and me, who just haven't played the old monhuns yet because of the initial friction of emulation, would likely react the same way.

What for? Outdated garbage

as an example of what I mean, look at this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDbL-yLiq08
87k views for a game from 2006. and this isn't even an official release. this is just a very well done fan release with good online. it blew up a few years ago because of some chance exposure. the game still has a cult playerbase to this day, the same way quake does. now imagine monhun, with even minimal marketing, right now when everyone is thinking about it because of the newest releases.
tl;dr
they don't want old monhun to be like quake, sucking up potential purchases forever.

why would anyone play xx on 3ds emu if they can play gu on switch emu
are they dum

Reading threads like this just reminds me of how delusional and retarded people here really are.
Nobody is going back to play any of these older games if they port them as is. And by nobody, I mean 2k peak playercount guaranteed. This notion of old game killing new game is beyond delusional. Literally just look at what's available right now, MHGU is dead as fuck as we speak. It sold miniscule as well despite re-releasing after world.
Despite this post being bait >>717982027, this is literally how the 90% of people who bought world think.
If you want the real answer of why they aren't porting older monhun, my best guess is that they don't want to make a straight up 1 is to 1 port and would prefer if they spend money and time changing and updating things like the network infrastructure for the multiplayer or the controls themselves which were designed for portable play. None of them used the shoulder/trigger buttons well by today's standards.
Anyway, the problem is they need to spend time and money to develop porting those games which they don't want to spend.

They are playing it on mobile and most server which host these games does not include switch emulation because of piracy

>>717982982
XX has USJ, HxH and Sailor Moon collabs
GU removed them

Would the retards that play nu-MH even be able to get into old-MH? Probably not, but seeing them get filtered would be funny.

Pretending everyone is gonna play the older games is literally a zoomer meme

Tri had a minuscule roster and 3Ultimate had the cursed charm tables and don't forget Pctrannies are going to cry at the graphics, for better or worse the newer games are an upgrade

>>717980432 (OP)
nu-MH zoomers would get filtered by the lack of """QoL""". They would unironically time out in Guild Quests thinking they can solo everything like in World/Rise/Wilds because of scaling.

Some things are better off dead.

>made the same post twice
odd kind of bait

>>717980432 (OP)
Why would they? All pre-World MH games are emulatable on PC at good quality with texture mods that make them look better than vanilla.

PCfags are an after thought. Most of them wouldn't want to play "Handheld slop" anyways. Just look at the amount of PCfag Worldsperm that never touched the series until World.

MONSTER HUNTER FREEDOM ULTIMATE

Unlikely. They had zero qualms about quietly dumping GU within 3 weeks of MHW's PC release.
