Monster Hunter 4 60% complete, tidbits from Tsujimoto
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Famitsu has the latest update on Monster Hunter 4 this week, but it isn’t too significant. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto says the project is now 60% complete. The title is still a long way off from releasing in Japan, so the team has plenty of time to complete the remaining 40%.
Other than this, Tsujimoto noted that he’d like to look into taking the Monster Hunter franchise into areas outside of games. While it was originally an online title, Monster Hunter has become increasingly story-oriented, starting with Tri.
Tsujimoto also said that he enjoys hearing stories of those who became friends through Monster Hunter as he likes to see players making memories through games.
