Monster Hunter World

it will suck dick AND be the best MH game yet

>>380679815
How the fuck do you want us to answer that without at least seeing real gameplay footage?

>>380679815
It's the monster hunter fans have wanted since Freedom Unite.
It needs to be made clear that the ONLY reason MH was branded as the CoD of Japan is because of everything that came after Unite.

Nintendorks are struggling to cope with the fact that THEY allowed monster hunter to dwindle into mediocrity, now they see what the series is capable of on actual hardware NOT PLASTIC TOYS and they are blowing a fuse.

>other thread gets 50 replies for being consolewar baiting
>this thread is legitimate discussion and crawls its way to page 10

>>380679815
The smart choice would be to reserve judgement until we see real gameplay and not trailer bait

I'm very interested but cautiously skeptical

>>380679815
No idea about the gameplay so far all they did show was some chanhes here and there and the visuals

Would it be good or not?? No idea, will it flop, yes

>>380679815
Best wait until the 20th when they show off the game play. I don't know why they want to way a week later to actually show the game but that Japanese even is really important to them.

>Will it suck dick? Or will it be the best MH game yet?
>newly announced you can turn damage numbers off

Its going to be the best monster hunter, since the trailer every single point a hater has brought up has been blown the fuck out

We'll have to see how it plays out
Right now it looks great, but what's most important is the overall combat and variety
It'll be a while before we have a good look at those things

If they have to make everything from scratch, we can expect mostly new monsters with a low large monster count in total

Roughly 20 is what people are guessing, possibly more with paid DLC

>>380682543
this is not Monster Hunter r-right?

What are the odds that combat wasn't shown because that would scare off the normies?

like most MH depends on the quantyt of content it being HD and knowing capcom laziness grant it to have at most 20 large monsters reskins included.
And 2of the new ones are already reskins.

>>380683456
high. they keep the high complexity of the combat hidden because that shit is pure madness. you'd have to be very good at video games to play monster hunter well without considerable youtube research. especially when you use stuff like the greatsword where it doesn't necessarily make sense to swing it more often.

>>380680538
I do agree the series should evolve and World looks amazing so far, but 4U is freaking godly imo.

It's more fucking Monster Hunter, of course it's going to be the best.

With green bugs which show you exactly where to go, a higher emphasis on mounted combat and the ability to use items on the move this is looking to be the most accessible and cinematic monster hunter yet!

Can't wait to play it with my wife's son

>>380687676
you can still cancel out of the animation early right after the heal happens.

>>380688125
This. No matter how "shit" it's going to be, MonHun is always fun to play.

Too early to talk about really. We don't know how missions/quests work, ranks returning or not. We know areas are still marked with numbers but no loading, but are there more maps or is it just one big ass one?

Too many questions, wait for TGS and PSX for sure.

>>380688550
>New game, new gameplay

I hope the new gameplay isn't showing monster health and stamina. Though it might be interesting if they add that as an armor skill.

>>380679815
It will be a really good game but it will also underperform because most of the install base is nintendo console owners. People who already have a ps4 or xbone won't care too much but I think you're gonna see a lot of longtime monhun players just drop it, and that might just fuck over the game.

>>380688571
This is a really good picture.

>>380685482
It only feels complex BECAUSE they keep it hidden.

You just get a feel for your weapon's bread-and-butter combos, then stand in the right spot and do them.

Do you think this iteration is going to come out pretty bare-boned? Look at Tri and how they tried to introduce a new element, and that version only had 18 (Eighteen) Large Monsters. Then you look at 3U which almost tripled that number at 51 Large Monsters. 4 had 51, 4U had 75, and XX has like 88 Large Monsters (granted a lot of variants and a LOT of WYVERNS). My biggest fear is that we are going to get TRI'd again and have such a small amount of monsters. Who knows? We'll have to see how much work is put into this new version.

>>380693029
I expect more than tri, but less than 3U, but also a lot of recolors.

>>380693029
>First installment would have less monsters than expansion
>Why?

>>380679815
As long as they give me my Khezu suit I'm on board.

>>380693214
I think the point was just how few Tri had compared to other first installments because of the engine overhaul.

Why do Nintendo fanboys get so mad all the time? Just buy a fucking PC with that amiibo money instead.

I doubt it'll have a lot of monsters if only because they've got to model/animate/etc. all of them from scratch again. I do expect to see a lot of new ones though since plot-wise this is supposed to be a whole new setting and have a real frontier/adventure feel to it.

Seeing how it is I doubt they'd do something that retarded considering the game still holds itself with singleplayer and has multiplayer. You can just join someone hunting the monster if that's the case. Though if stars align, they'd allocate a attire slot so you can pimp out your hunter.

MH4U felt like the true sequel to MHFU. Difficult quests/monsters and better hitboxes with the addition of AMAZING sweetspots for getting GS and hammer charges. The game is literal fucking bliss and I will be starting a new file of it whenever Citra 3ds emu can handle it.

Does 3U still hold up these days? I've been itching for MH and since it looks like us God-fearing Americans aren't getting XX on Switch I have to look elsewhere for my console MH fix. Turns out I bought 3U on the Wii U but completely skipped it in favor of 4U. Is it as good as the newer entries? How's the population?

>>380689337
This. Although I'm more inclined to believe with the major changes and the console/pc nature of this new generation that they'll move to a better model. Namely $20 expansion for those that bought the original game containing G rank and new monsters, then also an "ultimate" release for those that didn't buy the original copy of the game with expansion.

>>380696336
I think Ukanlos and Akantor will show up. They have been staples in more recent titles, and out of all the untrappables, they fit the new art style the best.

>>380696092
welcome to how every game is shown ever. just wait until e3 is over and we'll see everything we need to.

I was extremely anxious from the initial trailer but from what I've heard it doesn't seem so bad.

Did we get any more gameplay yet?

>>380693029
Yeah, but 4 had little changes and still ran on the same engine as Tri. That's why it was easier. HOWEVER, Tri also wasn't developed for almost 5 years like MH5 will have been by the time it releases. That makes me hopeful that they tried to do new stuff while also adding a decent amount of content. I'm happy with 25 - 30 monsters and 5 areas considering the size of the areas.

>>380698520
The games have the same format, take quest, find and kill monster, wear it as a hat, kill bigger monster. Combat has been largely the same, save for fluidity has slowly been improved upon and World seems to be the most since it largely removes any sort of standing around. Gen 3 introduced some gimmicks such as swimming, mounting and then arts and styles. There really is no lore to speak of, however, monster ecology is interesting if that's your game.

>>380694045
my nig

>tfw Capcom dropped water combat after one attempt
>mounting ie. free damage still exists

>>380698520
Okay, Monster Hunter is a game about fighting monsters. It's like Shadow of the Colossus, but without climbing on the monsters. You just do boss fights pretty much. There is a main village/town that acts as your hub. You choose a quest to hunt/gather something and go do said quest. You get rewards, and on the quest can carve and gather stuff to make new gear and weapons. Get more powerful gear and then you can hunt more powerful monsters. Rinse repeat.

I'm gonna skip a few games and hit the highlights

>MH1
in 2004 is every stated above. Has a low rank for easier quests and can reach High Rank for harder quests and gear

>MH2 also know as dos

didn't come to the West but added events and seasons and a day/night system. Same gameplay but a few new attacks added. New monsters too.
>MH Freedom/ MHG in Japan
Adds farm and has adds G Rank for the first time which is harder than High Rank and adds way more gear and some new monsters

>MHFU (Freedom Unite)

Adds more monsters and advances the farm to be much more helpful. Adds new monsters and further extends G Rank. Has the most content and is the ONLY monster hunter game to have ALL of the content from previous games + more for it's time of release.

>MH3 also known as MH Tri
Complete revamp of engine with much better hitboxes, modified farm for resource reproduction and almost no returning monsters. Monster roster is lowest since the first monster hunter but incredibly upgraded visuals and gameplay mechanics on player and monsters. The only generation (3rd gen) to have underwater combat. Also adds exhaustion mechanic. Monsters have to eat and get tired if they don't.

>MH3U
Just more content of MH3

>MH4
Japan only release, but revamps the game to not have underwater combat but has WAY faster movement on cliffs. Better climbing mechanics and the player can do jump attacks. Player can also mount monsters to knock them down for more free hits. Gets an improved story

continued...

>>380698520
>>380699918
continued...
>More MH4
Adds Frenzied disease. This makes hunters take more damage if they succumb to it, but if they overcome it they can do critical hit damage more frequently. Monsters can catch the disease too, which increases speed and damage.

>MH4U
Greatly extends the content released from MH4 and adds Apex which is the equivalent of hunters overcoming the Frenzy virus. Apex monsters have hitzones that the player always will bounce off of and increased defense and damage. This game also adds some thing to counter Frenzy and Apex called Wystones. They have special effects, are unlimited use, but have a cooldown after each use. They can increase damage, defense, and help remove the virus against Frenzy/Apex monsters.

>MHGen/ MHX
Another extension of MH4 but has less content than MH4U and gets rid of Frenzy monsters (keeps the monster that inflicts frenzy on hunter though). Adds Hunter Styles (which allow for multiple different movesets for each weapon class). Also adds Hunter Arts which are special moves that are charged up by attacking monsters. Then once released can do some special move that has various effects based on the move used. Adds Deviants (harder versions of normal monsters) but get's rid of Apex monsters

>MHXX continuation of MHGen/ MHX
Only in Japan currently. Adds more content and puts G Rank back in the game. Mostly returning monsters from previous games.

I don't know but I kind of feel sorry for Monster Hunter Online, shitty as it is.

>>380680538
I'm being completely honest when i say that what we saw in that trailer was underwhelming from a graphical perspective.

The gameplay looks better than what we have only if what we've seen is representative of what we'll get, even then shit like that grappling hook into the dino looked choppy and unfinished.

I'm optimistic but this being the only real graphical update mh has had since the VERY FIRST GAME compared to what everyone else is doing around them, it's not 'impressive' really.

I AM GLAD YOUR IDOLSHIT IS NEVER COMING FAGGOT

I'm really interested in what's been shown, but I also know that Capcom is really taking an unnecessary risk in pushing this so hard. This is almost guaranteed to bleed out over 50% of the Japanese base, so the game would have to sell like four times as much in the west just to make up for the deficit.

Not saying it's impossible, but I have very little faith in Capcom and their sales expectations. We'd better enjoy this one, because it might just be Monster Hunter's last good game.

Monster Hunter World, or MHW (the upcoming 2018 title), is going to be on PS4, XBox One, and PC (albeit PC coming late). Side note: MHW will be a PS4 exclusive in Japan.

I wish they hadn't gone and taken the risk out of healing (or rather, I hope there's some additional wrinkle to using potions that stops them from being Souls-style risk-free garbage).

Other than that I think pretty much everything about it looks/sounds good. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the game, at least until we see more or actually play it. Worst-case scenario, I don't like it, but I've been playing the games since 2004 and I honestly found MH4G and MHX to be really boring anyway, so that's probably where I was headed even if this game wasn't messing with the formula.

>>380702273
>>380702273
I don't either. But you can bank on a few things. Capcom is coming out of it's own little "recession". It almost went bankrupt and so it needs wins right now. That's why it tried to fix Resident Evil by listening to it's fans.

Also the monster hunter dev team has never really shown itself to care about paid DLC or be fans of it, so we have hopes that they'll convince Capcom to lay off like they always have with the series and just trust the developers know what they're doing.

And to those who think it was Capcom who said it should come out for the west, remember that Monster Hunter Tri was originally trying to be like this game and come on PS3. It was cancelled because of the development costs (mainly due to how fucking confusing Sony made the Cell architecture to develop for).

So the team has wanted to move to more powerful hardware for awhile, but they wanted it on a successful next gen AND Japanese console so it would still sell in Japan pretty well (Xbox sells like shit in Japan). PS3 was neither of these at the time MH3 came out and as stated before it was confusing to develop for.

I'm not saying Capcom couldn't pull a Capcom, but I'd say it's far less likely given the risk that this Monster Hunter is trying to take and the fact that Western audiences already don't put up with Capcom's bullshit to begin with.

>>380688550
>Scouting bugs only show highlight farming spots and tracks
No, They guide you to the monster once you've touched enough evidence spots.

Touch enough footprints, dung etc. and they'll hit the level required and essentially draw you a line to the monster. They're somewhat replacing using stuff like the cat balloon to find where a monster is.

>>380679815
>The demos were amazing. I actually watched the theater live demo twice at E3.
>The first time they lead the Trex looking thing (Ansomething) to the Rathalos and the Rathalos freaking picked it up and dropped it off a cliff. The team then just tried to take down the Rathalos but failed in the time alotted. My second viewing the Rathalos and trex kept fighting until they both broke a dam and the water that poured out washed both monsters and the player down the cliff. The two monsters continued fighting each other until the trex got really hurt and tired and tried to run back to its lair visibly hurt and limping. The team of players then chased it and killed it. The variety in what can happen was just astounding.

I like it. It's more interactive and less (give me the answer). I'm pretty sure people are pissed because this game may require slightly less twitch skill and more intuitive (thinking) and patience skill. Not that this is much different, but it's more interesting than a psychoserum, that's for sure.

I mean, it's no surprise given how many franchises they've already destroyed due to mismanagement, but how are they so fucking tone-deaf? World would be received more positively if they brought over XX as well, but now they created a shitstorm that could have been easily avoided and are left wondering "WHY ARE THEY ANGRY????"

I mean, all it's doing is further shifting the focus away from the moment to moment fighting.

Every single change they've made to the overall experience is.

Using the environment and other monsters instead of just fighting. Gathering/healing/swinging mobility all the time so you can always be running away or luring the monster to more traps.

That's part of their plan to make it more accessible, making it less about the pure YOU VS MONSTER experience.

>>380703563

There are literally five of you nintenbros left screaming and crying about this. Almost all the fans of the game are perfectly happy with this game now that they have more information. It's only a few of you who refuse to buy something other than Nintendo who are still pissed. Get out of your Nintendo club box and look around once in awhile.

>>380702940
>>380703298

Was it confirmed (considering the nature of this board it was probably speculated and then stated as fact) that the scout flies replaced paintballs as a way of tracking monsters? Or if the scout flies themselves were just an item that isn't necessary to a hunt, where if a hunter learns the clues associated with each monster (footprints, maybe elementally-charged saliva, tails carving a path in mud, etc.), then the scout flies wouldn't be needed at all? I've heard talk that they 'casualize' the game by specifically pointing out gathering spots and specifically telling you where the monster is. But at the same time, we have maps as big as 16 areas and scouring them all when up to 4 monsters can be on the map at a time, coupled with the lack of loading zones and random placement of monsters, they do seem like a very quality of life item. Perhaps they're just a side-effect of having maps this large.

On a side-note though, I do hope we get to see at least one map from a previous game making its way into this one. Perhaps one of the more claustrophobic ones. I wonder how they'd approach that with a map that has one of those one-way falls, considering there was a point in the trailer where a hunter was swept off a high cliff by water.

>>380703681
Yeah probably this is the case. It doesn't really change what the devs appear to have wanted though. They seem really enthusiastic about this and the amount of detail and new stuff they put in shows. Perhaps we'll still see some more of handheld monster hunter. Personally, it's gonna be hard for me to go back after World though. I already didn't like going from MHTri/3u back to 3DS.

>>380703916
It's confirmed that they're a way of tracking down monsters, not necessarily a replacement.

Also the one way things aren't really any different than in the previous games.

The zones are still zones, there's just physical corridors between them instead of you just teleporting between them.

>>380703813
And yet they've kept all the moves in the game and they've even stated you can still fight the same way (aggresively) like you always have. They even have a suit intended to draw aggro. I see no reason why having extra options is a bad thing.

Or maybe you could learn some reading comprehension instead?

This isn't about the kiddies throwing shit at each other, I'm talking about Capcom's shortsightedness. World is more than likely going to be a great game, I don't disagree. The problem is that it's very unlikely they're going to make enough sales in the west to make up for all the losses they're going to incur in Japan.

To put it in perspective, Tri only sold over a million on the Wii at the height of its popularity. It was outsold by the 3DS version, and Final Fantasy XIII also topped it in sales.

Final Fantasy XV's opening week was around 750k, and it's barely reached a million in that timeframe. A bigger and more well-known franchise only selling that much on consoles in Japan is a really dire warning, as it sets a very low ceiling for World there.

Capcom just can't seem to help itself from taking two steps back for every step forward they make. There would have been much less of a shitstorm without the XX stuff sucking up all the oxygen in the room because of the ineptitude of their PR. It's not a very good sign in general when they're very willing to throw a previously established fanbase under the buss.

>>380704648
He said play it in "every way possible"

>>380704161
I know that much regarding the zones still being zones. But considering where they're possible, and combining those with older maps which had you fall into what looked like either certain death or just a black pit, makes for some decent food for thought.

We'll probably know more about what scout flies are (as well as the grapple) once we get that gameplay footage, hopefully with a UI so we can see what the fuck is actually on the screen at the time that those two things are used. If they're automatic, have an assigned button to them, or are items that must be scrolled to for them to be used.

>>380704368
Nah nah I get that, but there was talk about it in a previous thread. I very much doubt they'd get rid of psychoserum, or paintballs too for that matter, but with these scout flies it makes me think "what did Capcom do away with and what did they add to replace the things they took out, if anything?" Considering their stance that they didn't remove anything, I'm hoping that they're still in and this is just a new, optional but helpful way of finding monsters.

I'd probably always use them regardless or not if there's an emphasis on collecting supplies during the hunt. It's free shit and could be helpful. Emphasis on 'could'.

>>380704707
Fair point. But Monster Hunter and Pokemon are the biggest things in Japan. I don't doubt that it'll make PS4's sell hardcore for a few months at least. There are already about 5 million sales of the system to date. Not nearly as much as the west, but more than enough and with Monster Hunter it'll go up.

>>380704936
The hardcore in Japan will flock to it no doubt, but the handheld appeal of MH cannot be stated enough. Local MP was really fucking huge for 3G, 4U and X and helped spread good word of mouth over there.

The situation of the PS4 in Japan is decent, but sales are very tepid and software sales have failed to excite. FFXV was supposed to be the big one, but its sales were very disappointing compared to how many bought it in the west. If XV struggled heavily for a million and Tri only did over a million on the massively more popular Wii, then it's easy to assume that World's sales potential in the east is mediocre.

There's nothing wrong with Capcom looking to open up new sales opportunities with PS4's userbase, but I wouldn't call dumping their existing Japan base for said sales a smart idea.

Am I the only one who is genuinely hyped for World? We finally have something new but with the same gameplay in the same time. Graphics looks nice, it'll be on PS4 and PC so everyone can have fun. New mosters' AI looks really impressive and fun to experiment. I'll miss cute flexing animations for sure but I believe they'll balance the game properly. Making MH too easy is like shooting yourself in the foot.

As someone who has never played a MH, what would they have to actually do to ruin monster hunter? Because I doubt its damage numbers, fireflies and tall grass.

Like, I get that changing certain things will make it worse than previous iterations, but everything they've stated so far makes it sound, from an outsiders perceptive, like the thing that makes monster hunter fun, i.e. hunting monsters for their parts to make gear to hunt bigger monsters, hasn't changed at all... Like, if monster are just as challenging to kill, what else could be the issue?

Idk, maybe I'm thinking about this too simply.

>>380679815
it's different and so I am afraid

>>380705508
Well, I don't disagree that it won't do as well as portable titles. But seeing as how Monster Hunter usually only gets about 3mil worldwide sales anyways, this is just them shifting around the market and testing how well it would do if they "really" tried in the west.

Tri (the last console only title) was slightly over
a million in Japan. But only 500,000 outside of Japan because it was still completely new to most of the West and no one took the Wii seriously at that point.

I feel like they'll probably get that 1 million in Japan again, but will likely jump up closer to 2 million in the West with the reactions there getting and two other things. More people know what monster hunter is while seeing this game as a massive improvement. Also PS4 is the hottest shit around in the West AND is seen as a "hardcore" console. So they have a MUCH better chance of doing well in the West.

Back with Tri and the Wii, it was a combo of nobody knowing Monster hunter and nobody taking the Wii seriously. Is this a betrayal to Japan audience? Maybe, but there has been a conceited effort in Japan by some devs to rejuvenate consoles because Japanese devs see a whole lot of potential with them that mobile/handheld doesn't provide. You can read that up with games like you mentioned (FFXV). So it may be a risk, but it's one they are passionate about.

>>380706163
So far the only problem is how you can heal and move in the same time. Before you needed to find a safe window to dring potion or eat a steak otherwise monster will hit you out of healing animation. Now you have more freedom in doing it, so less planning and knowledge required. But in the same time it means nothings since we have no idea how new game plays. Maybe new AI is more agressive, maybe you have less health, maybe it's way more difficult to find a window to heal now. We have to wait and see if it's as challenging as ever. Most of people bitch just because it's something new.

>>380706421
Sorry edit... MH Tri was about a million outside of Japan too.

>>380706478
If it's more agressive and possibly faster than MH4U then yeah we'll need those faster animations. Because Apex monsters were already pushing the limits of those old animations.

>>380693840
>Think this game is gonna have a big catalog of monsters?

Fuck no it's the first game of the generation and every monster exoskeleton is getting their AI overhauled, we'd be lucky to we got 20 monsters.

>>380706163
MH is generally slower paced than most 3D action games. The gameplay is about learning what the monster does, how long that takes, and how to effectively counter that. Your animations are long, their animations are long. It's all about picking and choosing when to attack, what attack you have the time for, and how you can recover and get out of the way of the Monster's attack in time.

Healing and using items also take a lot of time so you have to properly pick and choose when you have the time to heal without getting punished, when you're at low HP this can be incredibly tense. This is why moving while using items is such a big deal, if they remove one of the big hurdles of the game, finding the right time to heal, the game just becomes much easier and less of a mind game since there's less pressure to evaluate your decisions carefully.

Having things like the grappling hook to instantly go across the area enforces less pressure on properly timed evade rolls since you can get out of the way of attacks so quickly. They can balance around this stuff probably but even if they do the flow of the game we love so much is going to be changed from what we like about it. Speeding up the pace just doesn't seem like staying true to the game, hell that's why MHX is so controversial, there's get out of jail free card super evasions and instant anime attacks.

TL;DR fucking with the pacing and animations can easily ruin the game

>>380706478
I think the biggest counterargument to that is that before there were safe windows all the time. Monsters had scripted attacking animations, there were loadzones to keep you safe. If you knew that the monster was going into an attack that lasted enough for a swig, you could just sidestep it and chug. Now monsters can fluidly transition from attack to attack and there's no loadzones. It makes sense to at least buff your ability to drink potions somewhat, even if there may be some attacks that won't be affected by that fluidity - one attack that comes to mind is Rathian's flip from the ground. I'm willing to bet they were going to scrap the flex entirely and just have the hunter stand still, but perhaps they got the idea to add a small amount of movement from the souls games.

Still, I'd like to see just HOW severely the slowed-down speed is as opposed to walking and how long that reduced speed duration is. Certainly there's a bit of freedom in moving while drinking, but that doesn't exactly mean you're going to dodge a charge or beam.

>>380701804
They aim to hit 30fps on all systems.

>>380694226
I love Tiggyrex, but imo Brute and Lava are dump.

>>380688247
how? using barrel bomb s?

>>380707002
Well to take from your own argument,
>Your animations are long, their animations are long
Actually the monsters have been getting faster and faster while hunters haven't changed all that much (except in Gen). So I don't really agree that this is going to fuck everything up. These changes are probably them rebalancing for the fact that there are no loading zones and monsters have been getting faster and more aggressive.

>>380693029
I expect less monsters than Tri even.

>>380679815

>>380706421
Well, World in Japan also has to contend with the XX port, which is guaranteed to siphon a lot of its sales. Again, the portable factor is a very big aspect of MH in Japan, and Capcom isn't stupid enough to leave money on the table right there.

The situation in the West is unfortunate, as signs are currently pointing to XX being brought over long after everyone's stopped caring about it. Perhaps they think that the portable sales in the east will sustain Japan while World will sell better in the west, which isn't exactly wrong. BUT that hinges on it actually selling up to their expectations.

For what it's worth, RE7 wasn't able to do so despite extremely good word of mouth and favorable reviews. Whether World can avoid that fate remains to be seen.

>>380693029
25 unique big mons, note UNIQUE big mons is far by enough to base a game on, especially if every single mon has more interactions with the world, the other monsters, how they travel etc.

>>380693029
it has been worked on for 4years now , also they said it's basically MH 5 but they like the word "world" , it certainly wont have as much monsters like other games , but i think they put enough time into it that there will be enough , also more will be added for sure

>>380707842
I highly doubt a niche title like Monster Hunter will appeal to more than a million to a million and a half western fans. Persona 5 didn't crack 2 million in the West. Nier: Automata hasn't as far as we know either.

>>380708004
Didnt the 3DS MH games sell a million times?

If they put that much work into new assets for it only to sell as much as the handheld games it would be a really huge waste.

Why are they so hesitant to release gameplay footage? What are they trying to hide?

>>380709567
One thing that sorta bugged me, do tell me if I'm hallucinating:

There's two points in the gameplay footage where the hunter does an aerial swing with the GS. At one point it's after jumping off a ledge (early on at the start of the hunt) and later it's after jumping off of a climbable tree root. From what I've seen, this second attack is only in the trailer shown during Sony's conference - the clip isn't in the 5 minutes of gameplay footage that was posted later.

What I'd like to know about is the little midair 'hop' the hunter did during the second aerial attack. Is it a different attack? Is it something that was in previous games, specific to jumping off of a climbable area? It was something they specifically took out of the gameplay footage, because as far as I could tell pretty much every other clip was in the 5 minutes video in some way.

>>380710740

Why haven't we seen the HUD yet?

Surely there must be someone here who has played the demo who can draw us a quick mock up?

>>380711178
I must be mis-remembering movesets. Playing with the styles in Generation has made me forget what their gameplay used to be like since nearly all the weapons were better in non-guild styles.

>>380711324
That's the thing though. Their response to styles being in mhw was "new game, new gameplay". It's a vague answer, but perhaps that clip is a nugget to prove styles return. But that's merely an assumption at this point, considering we haven't even seen the hub town(s), much less any sort of UI element or menu.

The only thing that's stopped me from getting into these games was the horrible horrible horrible portable controls
Finally, we will be getting the monster hunter game we deserve. Something actually fucking playable for anyone with hands bigger than an infant's

>>380711396
HUD was removed for full immersion

>>380711396
HUD was mentioned to be almost the same, with the biggest difference being that you now have a smaller minimap on the side of the screen rather than the previous map which encompassed the entire map

>>380711595
Wasn't there something about the HP/Stamina bars being retracted into the symbol in the corner of the screen, which extended out and displayed how they normally would appear once in combat?

>>380711818
Not sure, but I do remember reading multiple accounts mentioning that the HUD is mostly the same. I wouldn't mind a "cinematic HUD" mode for exploration, though. I use that for dark souls 3 as well.

>>380711919
If that's true, then at least that's worth breathing a sigh of relief over. The only thing I'd question, then, is how large the HUD is - and that's something that can only be answered by seeing gameplay. Only a few more days til that, hopefully.

>>380712141
I'm still unsure as to how much gameplay is gonna be revealed on the 20th. From what I gather, the first time you're going to get real news about this game from a LARGE amount of people (including fans) is gonna be in gamescom. 2 months from now give or take. I wouldn't hold my breath too much regarding what you're gonna see on the 20th.

>>380712241
Any info is good info at this point, so long as it isn't regurgitated from what we've heard from e3 sources. Getting some confirmation on that twitter dev would be a plus, as well as anything doing with interviews asking these hard-hitting questions that basic bitch interviewers wouldn't know about asking. Even if it's just a single minute of pure gameplay footage showing off each of the weapons and a scenic shot of the hub town, I'd be satisfied.

>>380712502
Well, what I mean is that it's so close to E3 that they might not have a demo set up for anything more than what we've already seen at E3. Still, yeah, some combat would be nice. I wonder if they're aware about how much fans are freaking out about the potential for casualization with the changes they're bringing in.

Did you read this interview, by the way?
http://www.glixel.com/interviews/monster-hunter-world-leads-answer-all-the-big-questions-w488101

>>380712656
Yeah, I was pulling info from that to argue with a friend on damage numbers being something that could be turned off. Other than that it didn't seem to be answering many questions vets wanted answered beyond maybe if people wanted to know if they could run without holding down a button. Still, as there's more interviews there's going to be little tidbits that slip through. I do hope at one point that one of the magazines (or whatever news models the japanese follows) that usually does sections on MH does one for World soon too.

This, they must have spent so much remaking the game from the ground up that they barely had time to give it any content. Hopefully it has at least as much as tri but even that is pretty doubtful

>>380684670

Did you not see how many comments were made after Skyrim Switch was announced, "this will be my first time playing Skyrim" etc.

Many of the Nintendo fanbase has literally not touched a game that wasn't on a Nintendo system in years.

I seriously fucking hope you can pick your traps back up in case a monster decides to just flee.

Well they're going to have worked on World roughly 2 years longer than they worked on Tri so I hope they have at least 30 monsters to show for it

>people complaining that new changes are bad because it detracts from the combat

Fucking idiots. Combat is the thing MH has focused on over and over and over again with each yearly iteration, while everything else was solely lacking. And when those other areas are brought up to speed you throw a fucking shitfit, because it's not going to be the same boss rush arena regurgitation you've been fed for the past decade.

This is what a sequel should be. Actual, giant, risk-taking, changes.

Man, even breath of the wild can barely run at a stable fps on the switch and it was designed from the ground up for shit tier Nintendo hardware, MHW is impossible, there is not amount of vusual adjusting that would make it viable.

>>380679815
I'm hyped because it isn't XX at all. That was the 2nd worst MH I have ever played. the first worst being Gen/X.

>>380719228

Stop pretending Generations wasn't casualized.

>>380679815
>The biggest game of e3 is some japshit I've never even heard of
I don't get it. The graphics are bad, I don't see any story or characters at all. I didn't even hear ANYONE talk during the trailer. How the fuck are people hyped for this. This is going to be No man sky all over again. You people are retards.

>>380719480
This, adept and brave already completely trivialized the actual challenge of the game. Worlds doesn't exactly have a high bar to hit to be more hardcore than gen/xx

>>380719396
>we won't know if any of the changes are shit or not
that's some pretty drastic changes right there, just like climbing was in mh4. game was good but it doesn't make climbing + mounting not shit. i really want to believe MHW will be good but jesus man

>>380718606
I have played monster Hunter since the original, and I'm excited as fuck about this, fuck off sperg.

>>380719228
>no healing animation
This one really sucks, but I'm assuming there will be no flexing, but the drinking animation will still be there. Like drinking Estus in Dark Souls.
>get back at camp
You mean like using a fucking FARCASTER? Omg, the game is ruined.
>to change weapon and equipment!
Great, now I won't be stuck with the highest raw blademaster weapon for multi-monster quests, and will actually be able to use the appropriate elemental weapons for each monster, or not run out of ammo as a gunner.
As long as it doesn't restock your potions, it's an improvement.
>fucking numbers on hit
Are you seriously implying that seeing the damage number would actually make you hit harder? It's the same thing as blood splatter and hitstop, it's just an indicator, it doesn't affect the gameplay. You will still be doing the exact same things you were doing.
>hook
The devs have been trying to bring more vertical gameplay into the game since Tri. You'd know that already if you actually cared about the series.

>>380719485
>well established and liked series is comparable to kickstarter bait that was obviously going to flop

I'm not even super optimistic about worlds but this is a shit comparison.

I do not play this shit. Its too bad they ruined your game. On the other hand nintendo faggots got blown out so this is a win. Fuck you drones.

>>380719593
But all the new climbing systems, drop attacks, and mounting were awesome changes for MH. And World looks to be improving on those even more. I'm not super thrilled about some of the changes either,but without knowing how the game plays chastising it on principal would make me an autist.

For example
>No healing animations
If the AI is better and Monsters are less predictable it could just be a better healing system for the more challenging monsters.

Quit getting your panties bunched until we actually see shit. But by all means be skeptical.

>>380720017
I'm not the sweatiest purist and i'm hopeful for worlds, but the fact that they think the current healing was too hard to pull off in the same zone as a monster, and thus made it easier with the removal of zones is a bit worrying in regards to the direction they're taking with worlds

there's literally no point speculating until we see real gameplay footage.

this thread is almost entirely pointless since we can only talk about the concept changes.

>>380720109
At the very least you have tools and the environment to set up a stagger or two, which can be enough for a heal. All depends on how much you care about using the environment, traps that can be created mid-hunt, and maybe getting monsters to hit each other.

>>380720204
This makes me wonder what it would be like if this was introduced in an earlier MH title. Of course, pretty much every generation has its "THIS CHANGE MAKES THE GAME TERRIBLE" complaint, but this game seems to change quite a lot already, even if it's not removing things in doing so.

>>380720204
Zoning was always just due to hardware limitations.
>the direction they're taking with worlds
I just hope you don't try to blame it on the "westernization", because the japs are the biggest casuals on the planet. Sure, they have the most dedicated hardcore players too, but on the average they're dreadfully bad at video games. Don't buy into the fake leak that managed to got lucky with a single one of its predictions.

>>380720109
>sheathe
>run around safely until there's an opening
>chug a pot instead of attacking
It's not that hard. It's basically impossible to get hit with your weapon sheathed.

>>380719728
>Are you seriously implying that seeing the damage number would actually make you hit harder? It's the same thing as blood splatter and hitstop, it's just an indicator, it doesn't affect the gameplay. You will still be doing the exact same things you were doing.
i don't like the idea of numbers poping randomly on my screen blood splat were fine. that's ok if i can turn it off though

>The devs have been trying to bring more vertical gameplay into the game since Tri. You'd know that already if you actually cared about the series.
and they failed miserably on both tri and 4. they don't listen and go through with their shit that's a legit complain. and i do care about this serie or wouldn't be arguing with random strangers on the internet about it

>>380720041
>>380719728
i like the idea that you actually have to do some research and come prepared to the hunt. fuck ups are on you, they trivialized that with the avalaible equipment change

Will suck dick for veterans, will be the best and only one for ppl new to the series.

As long as the game has los/ian, Kutku/Garuga, Tigrex, Narga, Rajang, Kush or Chameleos (best elders fuck the rest), Kirin, and a Fatalis (any really), I'm a happy camper. Leave the Nintendo era shit for the G expansion/rerelease.

One thing I really they change completely is the super large monster battles. Lao and Shen are complete garbage to fight, especially Lao. Hate

>>380720369
I don't necessarily think worlds is "westernization" as we don't have enough info yet, but just because Japan is casual focused doesn't mean there aren't certain western game trends I wouldn't want them to add to MH. I think its less about which region is "hardcore" and more about avoiding mundane western AAA design choices that people are sick of.

>>380691140
>Enjoy teaming up with chinese cheaters.
haha, yeah, good thing there at least were no cheaters on 3ds or psp or wiiu.

>>380720486
You made me realize something. What if the equipment-changing was in, but not entirely free as we're thinking it is?

Like, say, if it was limited to the number of monsters you're out hunting for, minus one? So if you're on a 4-monster hunt, you can change 3 times max. And you can only change once you defeat a monster.

It'd appease the elemental users, the gunners, pretty much anybody that's not rawdogging it. I hope they're at least limiting it in some way, doing so infinitely doesn't seem to be the best choice considering you'd have to find a base camp and spend precious time changing equipment.

I'm reserving judgement for now

It could be amazing but it could also be a complete piece of shit game. It bothered me to no end that the hunter didn't swing his fucking sword ONCE during the demo outside scripted shit.

If the tight core gameplay is intact, idgaf about shit like healing while moving or damage numbers.

Why the fuck do you faggots act as if flexing was ever a hindrance? What kind of fucking retard gets hit while healing past the first few hours of the game when you're a complete new to the series (not the game, the entire series). Zoning out was a much bigger crutch, because it was actually viable against shit like elder dragons that you couldn't heal in their area no matter how far you ran away from them. Also, sharpening is way more of a fucking concern to any none scrub, which zoning out also allows you to mindlessly accomplish.

>>380720659
I hope they weren't too conservative on what monsters they brought in to conserve the "realism", because I really want to see some of the crazier designs like cham and zin on current gen tech

>>380720876
This is basically the only reasonable opinion for vets to have for the time being

It's funny how you can pinpoint the exact moment the other thread died.

>>380720928
Nah, heads would roll if they were to cut Kirin or Rajang. They're way too iconic and beloved by the fans, and nothing other than those 2 (prior to gen 4 anyways) is that flashy.

>>380721048

I think there's a source saying timers were still in. Probably had to do with the private showings. Still, even if there wasn't a timer, I bet any good lobby host would notice a player taking 'too long' to get to the next monster in the hunt, and take action based on that.
