Topic: Monster Hunter: World

"Underwater combat will not return."
This game better have Plesioth so everyone can feel the pain and suffering we had to deal with in 3U/Gen, lol

Yeah that's just how promotional interviews are, but he basically stated that it's the same combat system with additions.

I saw that the hunter chops the monster in the head in one instance when mounted and in another, he jumps to its back. What's up with that?

Hunters can move along the monster's body while mounted now to specifically attack different parts. I assume the difference is just movement inputs.

Petty opinion here that you all will probably roll eyes at: I strongly hope they fix the damn gunlance.

@Haru17
That's pretty neat.

Oh, the stealth suits are called mantles: there are different types and they work on a cooldown(s).

They also confirmed gathering halls.

I may end up doing a 180 on this game faster than people spun around for Mario Kingdom Battle.

Everything sounds legit. Just got done reading the whole twitter feed and...Holy cow. Not open world, it's still areas just without segments. That was a turning point reading that. That's when I realized it's almost certainly legit (if it wasn't it would be open world for the sake of it). Now I feel bad for Nintendo, and me for not getting this game on Switch. Seems they screwed the pooch BIG time. I know a new game will surely come to the system but, this is what I can see here and now, and that's a long ways off. And probably won't even come west now anyways. Which means.... they may have just lost MH in the west. Ughh. I'm both thrilled and heartbroken at the same time.

So... who else here's going to help keep the Xbox servers active?

Wish there was crossplay, really. The Nintendo Life Monster Hunting group will likely end up disbanded.

@JaxonH ??

IF Switch keeps selling like it does, IT will come to it, Japan and MH is all about portability, MH mainline games (the important ones) will come to Switch, and considering how much of a success it has been on 3DS, they will probably be localized too

Me rn.

Me too,

I won't seed my money to Sony in this. Xbox One for me.

They uploaded the interview demo from earlier. Shows a bit more new gameplay of the lizard monster I always forget the name of.

Compare the reveal trailer of World to the original concept trailer for 4. Notice anything? This is the same concept: Monsters chasing hunters between areas, climbing across large spaces to travel between regions, monsters sliding off of sloped areas, and monster vs monster combat.

Sorry for all the updates, but there's a ton of new info in Gaijinhunter's video, and it makes a good recap of everything I've been updating with so far. Also to be noted is how the great sword aerial charge is back with a new charge attack while mounted. The glow effect on the hunter is MUCH more subtle, almost FFXV-like. I like it a lot and can't wait to see how they change long sword! Maybe wispy strands of spiritual air!?

So according to Capcom, this IS the next generation of Monster Hunter. It's MH5 in all but name.

Seems they're forgoing their established Japanese playerbase in order to chase the west. It not being portable will impact sales in Japan big time.

Also seems they're all in on World, and there's a good chance XX doesn't get localized, or at least not anytime soon.

IGN's article contains even MORE stuff: Jose Otero (the host of their Nintendo podcast who actually plays MonHan) got to demo the game and wrote a pretty glowing preview. And according to Gaijinhunter's twitter the series is moving away from numbered installments like so many others these days. But more importantly hunters can change armor sets at base camps within a hunt. You can just switch weapons and skills like that!

That new video is what I needed. Looks really great and makes the game seem a lot more familiar, but new at the same time.

Looks exactly like MH now. Like gaijin Hunter pointed out, that reveal trailer just showed new stuff... and made the game seem so foreign but this new gameplay is dead on.

So no more numbered games ? This is the best decision if they wanted to make Monster Hunter come to every console without having to do spin off.

The portable team will probably do Switch/3DS next game in the series

I'm so excited for this game. It was like legit one of my highlights for E3 and probably my favorite thing from Sony. It's gonna be so awesome.

@Haru17 And plenty of people hated that trailer. But the game looked almost nothing like that two years later. Of course people are on the fence now.

And boo. Why can't we have numbered installments?

@CrazedCavalier probably so they can release in other platforms without having to deal with the spin off karma.

They wont forget the 3ds or the switch, not when they sell 4m a pop

@Faruko But they've already said they won't localize XX.

Also, you can move while drinking a potion. How on earth are they going to balance that?
