Yup, that looks like Monster Hunter to me.
Sounds like the crowd was pretty excited to me:

The DBZ and the Code Vein game are also another examples of Japanese games going for PS/Xbox/PC instead of Switch.
Its silly but it's not just Capcom.
Yo, that looked way worse than I thought it was going to be...
What's with all those monsters being so blind? And the animations for the dude seem off.
I love MH and of course I'll give this a try. I'm not going to say it's bad, but I'm definitely cautiously optimistic.
The game will have a pc version so buy a good laptop.

So... what's wrong with this game?
Interest greatly increased.

Well not that it's any surprise but I'll just have to be patient for MH5 on switch which I'm sure is coming. I have invested ridiculous hours into Tri through Generations. This looks good to the eyes but not sure it's got the MonHun feel I'm really craving. Picking this particular game up probably comes down to cross play between the three platforms actually which is so sad. That dream is already dead isn't it?
At first, I was worried when I saw the rumors of how it is westernized, simplified and stuff like that.
After watching the trailer, it's doesn't seem as bad as I feared. I would have to see more to make proper judgement but I am pretty ok with what I saw. Graphics were disappointing but it's still much better than the current MonHun games (except Chinese online one)

Capcom won't abandon the handheld MH game but they will likely have the 2nd team (aka X, XX team) work on it. Monster Hunter World is probably going to be the main line for awhile, considering it's made by the main team which is MIA since MH4U.
This is the same as what shown on stage.

sound about right, switch gets MHXX this year,ps4/pc/xo gets MH:W sometime next year, MH5 also gets announce sometime next year for what ever system(s).

It looks like it's just extended bits from the trailer.
Thankfully. I'm glad they're trying new things. There's more than enough traditional Monster Hunter available for me to play.

The stealth mechanic does seem pretty odd there. just duck into a bush for like 3 seconds and aggro is lost
No no no you just ruined his stealth switch port beg.
How is it any different from running 10 feet and zoning?

So, this is going to sell a lot less than the 3DS games in Japan and a lot less than Horizon in the west, right?
I don't understand Capcom management, at all. They're going to release this and Dragon's Dogma on current gen in a few months time?

Why aren't they showing melee combat?! I want to see the hitboxes, i-frames and impact of the hits.
Because now there aren't any zones and it's bizarre in context.
Not very, just looks odd
thats scripted, not gameplay

Looks mostly the same as the reveal trailer.

I'm not against this game being different. So long as MH5 is still a thing and plays li ke the normal series should.
And it doesn't show any real combat.
this what they showed on the stream

I tried getting into 3 Ultimate before but it was too obtuse and being on the 3DS certainly didn't help. If this is a more streamlined game then count me in.

I wouldn't know. Never used a GS or any other weapon for the matter except for when your forced to use specific weapons in arena challenges. I'm exclusively an LS user throughout lol.

Basically just a rougher cut of the trailer

I guess I'm just open to long-running franchises trying some new things, especially if the core team is behind it.
Two of my favorite games are Resident Evil 4 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Yeah, it's basically a bit more B-roll rolled into the reveal trailer. It does seem to support my idea that it's not an open world in the sense of what we consider them to be, as the climbing and flying bits are essentially seamless transitions between major areas, along with the major areas themselves retaining their arena-like nature. I expect that the game will still feature monsters that have preferred ranges of areas that they traverse, but it won't seem like it because of the lack of loading screens to break it all up.

But if this does turn out to be good I am down as fuck.

This reveal is really strange: they're not showing actual fighting mechanics and there isn't a sign of multiplayer. What is MH supposed to be all about once again?
finally lol thnx
It feels like the monster just never goes into combat mode. Where are the attack patterns? Where is the gameplay rhythm? It looks more like a scripted chase like Lagiacrus or something.
I'm the exact opposite haha. I wish companies would just make more new IP's instead of messing with pre-existing ones.

I'm gonna guess that it won't be like that in final release, probably tweaked just for showcase purposes. Most of this trailer seemed to be them showing off how the game has evolved, rather than showing actual representative gameplay.
Remember people, this is a reveal trailer, not a "gameplay" trailer, and it's still a year away.

The stealth part with the Anjanath (I'm assuming) is so strange looking. The hunter isn't even hidden in foliage or whatever, the ghillie suit item that doesn't even cover most of his body just makes him essentially invisible when he's 10 feet away from the monster and sticking straight out of the grass from the waist up and it looks right at of him.

As someone who has only played a PSP MonHun, this has got me very interested. I guess Capcom's strategy is working on me.
Resident Evil 7 also turned out pretty damn good after experimenting with the game.

Indeed. I love that game.
I still don't know what it is... but something looks "off"
maybe it's just the somewhat generic look? Doesn't help that the monster designs went straight back to mh1's "Dino Hunter"-style
