Capcom has just announced that Monster Hunter World will come to the PC on August 9th, however things are not looking really great. According to its Steam store page, Monster Hunter World will be using the controversial Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
We know some PC gamers boycott games that use this particular anti-tamper tech – regardless of whether it affects performance or not – so that will be something that may potentially hurt the game’s PC sales.
Not only that, but it appears that at launch the PC version will have the exact same visuals with the console versions and that it may not support mods.
When asked about mod support, Ryozo Tsujimoto told PCGamer that the team does not have anything to announce at this time. As for cross-platform multiplayer? Not going to happen.
“I want to synch these up as much as possible, but as mentioned previously regarding title updates, the differences in versions between platforms may prevent them being completely the same time.
[Balance patches] will be a case-by-case situation. If we find bugs that are happening only on PC for example, or issues arising after a title update, then we would put patches out on each platform as soon as possible. If there was an issue common to all platforms, however, doing it piecemeal would be less preferable than fixing every version at the same time so that everyone has the same experience.”
Last but not least, when asked about the visuals of the PC version, Tsujimoto said that when the game launches the visuals will have parity with the console versions, though Capcom is considering releasing a free update after launch.

DENUVO AND “visual parity with consoles” is that a fuc**ng joke?
Capcom ports were decent. Now they went full anti-PC gaming.
it’s kinda like SEGA: HEY here is what you wanted but we just spice it a lil bit with everything you didn’t want! now pay me the same as a physical copy for a PC version with barely if any improvements! but don’t complain at least you get stable FPS!…if you have a rig powerful enough to make up for our sloppy port that is!
It’s so sodding weird how these game publishers get all chummy with PC gaming for maybe 1-3 years, then you go back to being proper goits for a few years more. Sega has just recently gone back to that terrible state they were in before they ported over VC.
at this point consoles are far superior compared to any high end PC (in terms of hardware capability and player base)
Player base can be argued, but hardware capability? What kind of drugs are you taking my dude?
I don’t think so. 43 million of daily active users and 87 millions of monthly active users on Steam. I doubt all consoles together can achieve those numbers
Well then I guess it can’t be argued lol
if he meant like MHW vs pc and consoles – maybe – however it does have a huge interest in it.
I wonder & hope if it can get 60fps on PC.
Just block him.
i love how you keep suggesting everyone to block me yet you have homoseksual desires towards me and my comment, you can’t help it.
I believe he is being sarcastic… or trolling. Take your pick. No one with an ounce of knowledge would make that statement…
thing is i’m very smart, console gamers have high iqs (like me for instance)
…..wut?
…..WHAT?
,,,,,FREAKING WUT?
No. That’s what console marketers and AAA publishers who want to close everyone in price gouged GaaS marketplaces want everyone to think. Globally, most people are playing on PC. Hard to price shop or mod on those closed, tightly controlled console marketplaces.
open your eyes, consoles beat PC hardware any day. with next generation consoles PC will be dead completely this time.
peace and respect

Actually games are usually more populated for longer periods of time on PC.
and that latter,IDK what to say but the only quality consoles really have is their first party studios which are a huge plus (in some cases)that really solidify its hard metal bearings.
“at this point consoles are far superior compared to any high end PC (in terms of hardware capability and player base)”
Its actually quite the opposite though.
Monster Hunter like CSGO is niche (well in my opinion anyway…)
Hardware capability is actually not superior as games like Planetside 2, Crash not getting 60fps when its only PC despite being an linear platforming game. Which really does confuse me – they can actually pull it off but they didnt want to bother.. It really changes everything with fast or pixel accuracy gaming such as crash due to its hitboxes.
the player base is (assuming not as a whole overall but solely on MHW PC/ Home Consoles?) Which from that point sure – that’s arguable and agreeable as its niche in itself too – akin to say Persona series as example etc – however thats an exclusive and its not out on PC yet. So we cant tell.
developers keep messing up their console port, PC can’t handle smoothness of consoles with all the effort that goes into optimizations.
Theres Crash bandicoot, Yakuza 0, GTA V – not to say PCs cant handle its ‘smoothness’ idk where the heck you got that idea from.. that makes no sense.. Unless you can backup that claim GTAV, Crash Bandicoot, MGSV, Far Cry 5, Gears of Wars 4 will be prime examples of ports done great – then theres cheap ones by Keoi Techmo which are a joke – despite its age.
stop making excuses, buy a console and enjoy superior hardware and games.
Funny you say that – I do in fact have a console. Relax. Why not both 😉 ?
I have a (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 & Xbox Classic -though rarely touched that one) PS4 with Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, (God of War though from mate retail copy), Ratchet & Clank (reboot) and a few games (Wildlands, Sniper Elite 4, The Division, Far Cry 5) solely if not for coop like the old days really. Otherwise its on PC since I’d rather 60fps over 30fps if there’s an ability to go above it.
But still though..
No arguments sure the games are really good – not superior though. Sony at the end of the day really relies on making huge faiths on making the games sell their console – as does Microsoft.
Sure it has PS Now but idk about that
I have a PS4 Pro, but they dont even commonly go over 30fps because graphics demand on low mid range cpu as the PS4 sports currently even the Pro.
It cant even do 60fps Yakuza 0 on 1080p.. Like bro its so much better to play that game with 60fps.
and im actually very tolorant – I played 8fps dead island on a TravelMate 4730 well below even 480p..
Unless you have facts to prove the ps4 has superior hardware then I’ll wait.
Vast majority of gamers would prefer to play multiplatform games realistically. exclusives arent super super good.
Really makes you want to buy it doesnt it?
“Denuvo”
“parity with consoles”
“may not support mods”
“PC Gamer”
So much cancer in one article.
im ok with lack of mod support – but forced parity with consoles? really sucks hard…
It’s a strange decision. I read that they will “look into” a patch for graphical changes post release, which I doubt will happen. Seems the only benefit of the PC version is 60fps and resolution selection. Wounder why it took them so long to release a PC version if this is all we get.
I can’t look at Capcom’s Financials right now but I would not be at all surprised to find that most of their revenue comes from console gamers and hence their sh*tty frame of mind towards PC gamers.
Soooo why did it take so long to port exactly? No visual improvement, no mod support implemented. Whatever. Gonna spend my cash on Yakuza instead.
rockstar syndrome, kind of like down syndrome except you’re jewish as well.
A frikkin 1060 for 30fps for ps4 graphics?!?!
And denuvo of course.
Well i was not interested in this game but whoever waited for the pc release are probably disappointed
Cpu 99%
Dead on arrival. Too f*** for Denuvo.
In other news, water is wet.
I never played any MH gaem before and I was looking to play this. I thought it has offline and camping.. but iss it only multiplayer?
You can play solo, But World is really bad it’s not like a real Monster Hunter
whats a real monster hunter exactly because this is what people have been saying for the last few monster hunter games
Monster Hunter series are games made for videogames enthusiast, World is just a generic game made for casuals
And i repeat this is what the fans said for the last few monster hunter games.
They need to make an action RPG with a real story….it would sell like hotcakes! on a cold winter morning!
Makes you wonder why it took so long after the conslow release if all they were doing was a straight-up poort.
Now i will wait for the crack hope every game come with denuvo so i can save a lot of dollars 😀
with an avatar like that do you really think anyone’s going to believe that you have any dollar at all?
Nope sry
People stills think piracy and poverty are related?
Oh well. Glad I don’t care about this thing. Sorry to hear for those who do though.
CRAPCON on a nutshell
And then they’ll say “pc version is not selling”.
Just lol.
I usually don’t mind waiting for PC ports if the quality is there once all is said and done. Denuvo is a no buy at launch right off the bat, and I may skip all together if the performance is crap (the subpar visuals really wouldn’t justify it imo).
Ahh, lovely.
And people shat on me to no end when I told them that they were lying about trying to make a good PC version, and just delayed it for the double dip opportunities.
Guess who’s downloading Dauntless now
Dauntless devs should honestly hop on this media and hype their game to the heavens. Free publicity at this point.
Jeeeeeeeez . This is worst than battle royale
Don’t discount battle royale just yet, things can still get worse!
9 months for 1:1 console port ? LMAO is this 2004 CAPCOM ?
Something about this sounds like a mistranslation/misunderstanding to me.
crapcom hasn’t changed a bit
so much for buying that game, I don’t touch anything with denuvo.
Welp, there goes my business.
These Japanese devs should stop giving interviews, this is definitely a lost in translation situation, how can there be a visual parity if PC will be able to run at higher resolution and higher performance at least, not to mention the shader injectors that we can use to greatly improve the games looks.
So there are obvious improvements in this comparison. So I am assuming that the devs. are simply “saying” that there are no upgrades to appease the console players. I have watched the 4K version of the PC game-play and it does look like a noticeable improvement over the PS4 Pro version. The XBOX ONE X version is the best version on console however so it would be interesting to see a direct comparison to that version. I’m sure Digital Foundry will have a video up as soon as they have they’re hands on the final PC build. Until then I would wait before getting your torches and pitchforks out…
Japanese Companies have a complete sh*t policy.
They dont give a damn about their consumers, here in Brazil all of them sell their games extremelly overpriced.
And Sony, well, do i really need to speak about Sony?
Everybody knows how bad this company is.
Nintendo. Sony. Sega. Bandai. Konami. Capcom…
A bunch of cr*p.
People always conned into the “delayed so we can make PC the best version” when really the goal of these well planned delays is to Double Dip on those wanting to play 60+ fps knowing that PC gamers pay a little more for our gaming experiences. I was going to buy but will probably pass now. Streamers and youtubers will buy it (or be sponsored advertisers) for “viewer hype” advertising on their channels which is why these companies get away with this garbage.
question like GTA V lol right?

So close Capcom, you were so damn close. Now you’ve lost me completely.
Guess I’ll have to wait to see how badly they screw up DMC V.
Denuvo and being held back by consoles ? I don’t know how I will keep myself from buying this, I just love being treated like crap by publishers.
Then why the delay ? to slap a DRM or for parity with consoles ? lol
Oh dear!
pcmr! oh wait… haha
