Just seems too good to be true. But if it is Sony can do no wrong.I think it will happen because Chobel, who accidentally saw what Verendus leaked, confirmed the statement. As for other Japanese 3rd parties, getting Monster Hunter on the PS4 will be huge and really help with the rejuvenation of the home console market in Japan.
Honestly the only thing left for them to get is spin offs for monster hunter and yokai watch or a multiplat release for them like they are doing with DQ11.
Can anyone hazard a guess if TLG would be popular in Japan?
Or is it likely to mainly appeal to the west.
Also same question for shenkue 3
I think TLG and Shenmue 3 will have a bigger appeal than the niche Japanese game or WRPG in Japan. However, I don't think they will sell gangbusters either. They'll have moderate success in Japan, but the rest of the world will carry the vast majority of sales.
