I do not recall trying to extrapolate anything with ‘my logic’ in my reply to almostautumn. If you are referring to my previous post, it would have been preferable if you had replied to that one instead to avoid confusion.

In any case, I did in fact call it ‘MonHun-like game or clone’. Like some other butthurt people you ignore the ‘-like game or’ and focus on the slight of ‘clone’. If it’s a hunting game, then it is ‘like MonHun’, just like any new 3D fighter will be ‘like Virtua Fighter’ or ‘like Dead or Alive’. That does not necessarily imply it is a bad game. Even ‘clones’ can be good.

I wouldn’t call it a clone, but the roots of the gameplay are most definitely influenced by the phantasy star online formula.

by your logic MonHun is a Phantasy Star online clone

Sorry, but the hunting genre in itself is far from ‘huge’ unless you count various PC MMORPGs into the mix, as well as many RPG games which possess some hunting elements in it. At its core, there have been very little growth, diversity, and change for hunting-type games.

Dude, come on.

It’s the “Hunting” genre. MH brought it to limelight, but it’s time to stop minimizing eclectic titles as just “like” MH or being a “clone” of MH. The genre is friggin’ huge man, and has grown in diversity and eclectic design faster than any other genre to date.

This looks more like God Eater than Monster Hunter to me….

Not necessarily. It would be best to see gameplay before any calls are made.

Still waiting on Suikoden Musou

Toukiden is a new IP, so no, it’s not popular.

However Omega Force is VERY popular, and any game announced by them is going to generate a pretty damn large following.

Toukiden is “popular” ?

It was popular “title,” IIRC, and yes, it would seem so. The table of contents are out, at least. And this seems to be the only title in there that hasn’t really had any concrete info about it shared prior.
