To be fair, there wasn't much actual combat shown off in

>Stealth and actual hunting elements are way overdue.

The only way that these mechanics would matter is if monster health was dramatically lowered, and if they were pathetically lacking in durability, there would only be even more reason to rush in and pound them to death before they get a chance to ready up. Stealth in MH has literally, and I mean literally, never mattered i this franchise, precisely for the fact that your opening hit does almost nothing unless you're doing a hame setup, in which case your most important detail is remembering to sleep your target before bombing it.

>>380227117
Buts that's my point

IF they do it right, it'll introduce several new elements that should have been in a hunting game from the start

They wouldn't even necessarily have to ramp down monster health, just ramp up sweet spot damage or pre-fight preparations.

Quite honestly stealth not mattering in a hunting game has always been its second biggest flaw, next to the monsters not interacting with each other at all

How stupid is it that in actual gameplay random ass herbivores and giant super-predators will team up to beat your shit in when everything we know lore-wise says that shouldn't be happening at all?

because it will make the game easier. This one of tose times where you have to chose design over realism. They going the toher way will mess the flow and design the game is popular for.

>>380228460
The herbivores don't add much to the fights and by teaming up with the thing that would literally want to eat them actively break immersion in the game

Monster Hunter combat is all about prediction; by adding in chaotic elements such as monsters running away from/chasing or fighting each-other they'd be adding to the difficulty, not lowering it

>>380228460
This. Monsters are a challenge and hard because A: they don't stick to realism and B: they are based around being tough and having powerful attacks.

Reducing monster health and aggressiveness to make stealth a mandatory part of the hunt will make the actual fights trivialized and worse.

>>380228460
>>380229131
also the stealth looks like it comes hand in hand with a ramp up of the lethality of the monsters, after all the guy was hiding from a pack of small carnivores, when normally you'd just being murdering them all in one swing, if not ignoring them entirely

>>380229387
Yeah, that honestly looks tedious as fuck. The game doesn't look like Monster Hunter, it looks like Dragon's Dogma mixed with HZD but without a goddamn story.

>>380229651
the glowing pathfinding item highlighting lights look pretty shit, but other than that I didn't really see anything wrong with the trailer

We didn't get enough combat showcased, but as I said earlier IF the combat stay mostly true to MH I still think it should be a good game

Also, just because MH hasn't ever had some of these mechanics before doesn't mean they'll be bad for the gameplay; hunter arts were a welcome improvement to the somewhat stale combat

Just because something has been added doesn't mean it will be worse

Almost every single Monster Hunter has a single player mode with a full story-line and everything

It just ends up completely ignored as soon as the multiplayer opens up

>>380226920
I find it strage that the hunter ran away like a little bitch. Anyone who played Monster Hunter would ready up and prepare for a smack down. Unless you know you're a little bitch.

>>380230847
are they any good or is it just an excuse to go to MP?

>>380226920

All the GS animations were the exact same as the current ones, including the block animation. The actual combat will probably be the exact same as current gen.

t. GS user since MH2

>>380226920
I don't like the grappling at all, and I say this as someone who's never played MH but am in love with the aesthetics.

As for the stealth mechanics, I'm unconvinced. How does a guy hiding in the bushes from a pack of angry velociraptors not get immediately found out? How does a guy hide from a gigantic monster with a MASSIVE nasal flare simply by donning a small cape of leaves?

Seems to convenient, "push x to stealth".

IN 7 DAYS EVERYONE WILL BE JERKING OF TO THIS GAME AND CLAIMING "I TOLD YOU SO ANON, I TOLD YOU IT BE GOOD"

SOMEONE SCREENSHOT THESE IDIOTS, NEVER FORGET!!!!

MH didn't need open-world. I'm worried that the game might suffer for it

I really don't care if they don't follow the typical Monster Hunter formula to a T. It's not a numbered main title, it's a spin-off so changes are to be expected.

Only disappointing thing is that apparently quests are gone?

>>380226920
Only things that really sucked were the fireflies, and probably the grappling hook too

>omg not MH combat sucks
>No combat was shown

>>380232714
Quests are still around, but probably fetch quests or slay a specific Monster shit

I'm so fucking happy i don't have to hurt my hands playing MH on a fucking 3ds anymore. Don't give a shit if it was on Switch or PS4 just the fact I can play it with a real controller is a blessing

I fail to see how having seamless maps changes a single thing about gameplay

>>380232240
its pretty much just an excuse for the MP

it can be good, but because its mutually exclusive from MP, after you beat it you pretty much have to retread all the way back up to where you were in single player in the multiplayer, which often makes SP seem completely worthless

>>380233034
Ah, so the same as usual. Good.

>>380232947
well they did sow the rapid-fire gunbow, but everythign else seemed pretty much the same as usual

like >>380232429 pointed out the animations weren't really changed and the mounting seemed fairly similar too, if presumably easier due to the grappling gun

>>380232429
I'm worried about how the environment looks like it's filled with plants and obstacles.
2nd and 3rd gen had large, open areas to fight the monsters in.
4th gen introduced height differences and ledges that, IMO, hindered more than they helped.
And now MHW looks like areas are filled with stuff.
Sure, it looks a lot more like a 'real' environment, but I ain't playing MH to look at the pretty environment. I'm playing it to slap my oversized weapon into the monster's dick while it's trying to eat me.

>>380230536
You pick up "kill x" quests from a board and go kill x. Get materials, craft sword 2, pick up "kill x but now it spits poison" quest and farm materials for sword 3.

>>380233303
here's hoping they have a functional SP storyline

some of the SP quests in x and 3 were genuinely good, even if only because of scripted encounters

honestly idk what people are on about hating the seemingly scripted chase scene when literally every single initial encounter with a new monster in every single MH game is scripted

So is this what Hideaki Itsuno was working on?
If so it's bound to be good, but I can't shake the feeling that it's less Monster Hunter and more generic Sony Uncharted-like action game.

>>380233813
Fuck off fagmaster the adults are talking.

>>380230256
I find that the fireflies making shit that you can gather glow is pretty fucking insulting honestly. as somebody whos played all the MH games and can tell what a fucking node is I fear that its only the first step til we have something fucking annoying like Fi from Skyward Sword soon.

>>380233872
Why? It's just the usual maps, just with the small holes of loading screens filled. It's not like you're going to walk around a whole WoW continent.
Plus apprently you have monster tracks to follow, it's even less "run around randomly hoping to find the monster". If anything it might be faster

Hence why Nintkikedo are absolutely suicidal

>>380234079
It honestly reminds me of Dragon's Dogma, with the mounting/climbing monsters.
I loved DD, but I don't think it should bleed over into MH.

>>380234079
see >>380232429, from what little we've seen the GS, mounting and trapping at least seems like all the other MH games since 4

Granted the grappling gun will make mounting easier, which if indicative of the game itself becoming more dumbed down could be a problem

but as >>380234321 points out, it's A team working on the game, so that could be good. Also, not that it matters at all for MH, but the graphics won't be held back by Nintentdo console restrictions anymore

Not muh mh. The stealth looks stupid lets hope it's ignorable, new monster looks awful, environments look drab. I'd rather stick to my ps2 assets.

>>380234642
well then it would've been nice if they at least showed some proper combat instead of contextual quick time events

>>380234681
I just hope the stealth has a purpose beyond getting the first hit in and setting up traps

If its like vanilla MH then it won't matter at all, and if that's the case then why include it

I'm thinking this won't have multiplayer.

>>380234930
Its gonna have multiplayer.

>>380234981
Source?

>>380234930
Already confirmed multiplayer with up to 4 people

>>380234842
To be fair, aren't most MH trailers about showing off new mechanics or monsters with a minimum of combat?
It usually shows off the hunter hitting the monster or getting wrecked by that same monster.

>>380234281
Segmented areas allowed for more area variety. You could go from forests around a volcano to the lava-filled caves on its base to a cliff at the edge of its fucking crater, all at a relatively quick pace thanks to the loading screen transitions. On a huge area with no transitions, it'll either be a singular biome with no interesting changes or long stretches of walking to get to a different area theme.

>>380234321
They really are at this point.

Their obsession with bargain-bin hardware is doing irreparable damage at this point.

Now even Capcom doesn't want to bother being their third-party bitch anymore in fear of the MonHun IP becoming technically and commercially obsolete.

>>380235043
No, they really aren't.
Most MH trailers follow the recipe that first, the hunter will get BTFO by some monsters, then as the main theme reaches its climax other hunters help out and BTFO the monsters

that's when they show combat, new features etc.

>>380234842

They are, today at 5pm

>>380234842
>>380235043
Yeah, a big failure of the trailer was not showing actual combat

All this could be wrong, and it could all turn out to be dumbed down crap like the rapid fire bowgun MAY be

Hopefully with A team on it it'll turn out a bit better than that

>>380234930
have we heard anything at all about multiplayer? I mean there were some people riding in on flying monsters to respond to the dude's signal flare, which hopefully is an indicator of multiplayer

MH without multiplayer is kind of boring honestly

>>380235097
a good level design team could still include those changes and improve the map by making them more gradual and less jarring

>>380235039
>drop-in
Oh.

>>380235179
>Most MH trailers follow the recipe that first, the hunter will get BTFO by some monsters, then as the main theme reaches its climax other hunters help out and BTFO the monsters

Those are the CGI trailers.

From Capcom press release

>With flexible online multiplayer options and an accessible quest structure, players can tackle challenges alone or join up to three other hunters online for cooperative play. For the first time in the Monster Hunter™ series, players from Japan and the west can play together online, providing an expanded base of cooperative hunting companions. With the new online drop-in functionality, solo players can hail for assistance from the worldwide group during quests when their opponents are too daunting to take on single-handedly.

>>380235604

I hope drop in is in addition to normal lobbies

It could be hard to play with friends or set up full 4 player runs with just drop in

>>380237894
I feel like they were pretty solid up until around DmC happened. They made a comeback with RE7, but now the new Marvel vs Capcom is looking pretty shitty

They changed gunner from something unique-yet-viable into Lost Planet. Why does no one else care about this?

>>380237824
Could be a good sign, as it means they'll hopefully not go too far off the MH formula

Honestly so long as they don't replace the MH combat the new features should only add to the experience, nothing I've seen in the trailers with the exception of the firefly bullshit seem like they'll detract from the experience

>>380237653
nobody is claiming this.
stop being such an autistic faggot

Real question.
Will the DLC stay free?
So far all MH DLC has always been free, but will they keep this model or will they go full jew?

>>380238047
Lost Planet was good...
>>380238004
... until 3
Because then it became deadspace ... which was good...
Until 3...

>>380238080
depends on sales. if enough people buy it, I think they'll have enough funds for dlc.

So now the west which is pretty untapped will team up with these japs who tank hits to the face and triple cart on a game with friendly fire, stealth that players can fuck up for you, and monster kiting? Wew. Just. Wew.
Part of me is reminded of how badass PSO was for these reasons but that was such a different time.

>>380238080
hopefully they keep the classic DLC free, like the new but otherwise ordinary hunts etc

If they have an actual expansion it'd be fine to charge for it

>>380238906
MH has no real friendly fire though.

I mean, I suppose you could upswing someone into an attack, but that probably requires more effort than it's worth.

Not really feeling the grappling hook but everything else so far looks fine. I love MH and don't mind them trying some new stuff finally. It's just a matter of how well the changes actually work out.

>>380239020
Stagger, rather.
>>380239143
Pso=phantasy star online. 4 player dungeon crawl with boss battles, etc. When it released there was cross region play, before it's time honestly. They had things like symbol chat to break the communication barrier.

>>380239365
I sincerely doubt that randoms on PC/PS4/Xbone are better or worse than they were on 3DS, Wii and Wii U.

I'm not a fan of the glowing trail instead of actual exploration or chest high stealth bushes at all.
