Will it even have multiplayer?

The picture they posted on Twitter had 3 hunters.

I mean its open world on consoles it better have multiplayer

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's definitely doing a lot of things differently than a traditional Monster Hunter game, but I'm still very much looking forward to playing it.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

No. It isn't.

It's called World not 5, lol. Doesn't look like MH at all.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I'm very excited. I'll double-dip with this and XX for Switch. Purists need to calm down and enjoy legit HD Monster Hunter.

I don't give a shit about HD. I give a shit about gameplay. This doesn't look like the Monster Hunter I love

 

[mugurumakensei]

Does not look like a classic monster hunter, I'll take a wait and see approach to this. Thankfully this confirms the 4chan rumour so I guess I got MH portable to looking forward to with the traditional stuff.

Going by the fact that they got the title of this one wrong. I'm guessing MH portable will be MH5.

No. It isn't.

Yea. It is.

It's not numbered and subtitled and likely by another Capcom team.

 

[B-Dubs]

Will it even have multiplayer?

How would that even work with what was shown? Maybe online, but that's about it.

 

[lwilliams3]

So, that part of the rumor is true.

 

[KingBroly]

regenerating health, stealth elements, open world, qte

i personally don't like it but this hits every note with western audiences. this is the 10 million seller Capcom wished Dragon's Dogma would be.

Please tell me you're joking on regenerating health

That's a non-starter for me.

 

[Saturday]

The fact that they showed no multiplayer is interesting. Hopefully it works out well; single-player MH, even with faster combat ..

 

[Laughing Banana]

Detective vision.

Really now.

Urgh.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I need to see more of the actual combat.

 

[Jpop]

As a fan of MH this just seems bland and boring.

I figured it would be something like this but was hoping for it to be at least similar to MH.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Graphics look nice. I'll try it.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

The good news is that looks like Capcom finally has an engine in place for HD Monster Hunter now, MH5 is gonna look good.

 

[jeremy1456]

haters don't realize the significance of this
an MH title back on sony console is HUGE
whose to say if this becomes successful the mainline won't jump over?

This is a spin-off. The PS4 already has Frontier, which is another spinoff.

You're trying too hard to make this more significant than it is.

 

[MegaMelon]

I'm very excited. I'll double-dip with this and XX for Switch. Purists need to calm down and enjoy legit HD Monster Hunter.

Oh boy here we go. I anticipate this happening in every thread.

How can I enjoy HD Monster Hunting when I was shown pretty much no Monster Hunting? Not writing it off but certainly not a good first impression.

 

[Luigiv]

Yeah need to see some uninterrupted gameplay footage because that trailer did nothing for me.

Will probably pick up the PC version regardless.

 

[Oregano]

Surprised at the tepid reception. What the hell GAF.

Looks great.

 

[TreIII]

I'm...interested. At least for now.

At the very least, much like with Sonic Mania, I'm guaranteed to still have what I want in XX, even if this one doesn't end being something that maintains my interest.

 

[And_Gignac]

regenerating health, stealth elements, open world, qte

i personally don't like it but this hits every note with western audiences. this is the 10 million seller Capcom wished Dragon's Dogma would be.

10 million!? This won't sell a fraction of what Horizon did, and Horizon didn't have stellar sales.

 

[Sesha]

Compromised modernized westernized Monster Hunter w/ open world and detective vision. This is what you get. Feel my pain.

 

[titiklabingapat]

haters don't realize the significance of this

Because it was a home console game before. It didn't sell well. Then it switched to portable and it blew up. Console and portable versions have were subsequently released and only the portable ones are the ones that end up selling that they became the mainline of the series.

Not even talking about Nintendo versus Sony consoles here because both got various versions of MH on each of their respective home and portable console.

 

[Grim Patron]

remember when "cant go to 3ds graphics after switch"

try going back to switch after playing this on Xbox One X

 

[Ultimadrago]

PC? MY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!

I know!

I gave this two shots before and Wii and WiiU and couldn't get into it. Hopefully the direction here can keep my interest!

 

[NewGame]

This is what a monkey paw most feel lime.

But those HD assets...

The chan rumour was right

worried they didn't show the normal gameplay, everything was movie cameras with extreme close-ups

it's it multiplayer????

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Yeah need to see some uninterrupted gameplay footage because that trailer did nothing for me.

Same. And I'm a huge fan of MH.

 

[NormalFish]

I'm very excited. I'll double-dip with this and XX for Switch. Purists need to calm down and enjoy legit HD Monster Hunter.

If wanting a monster hunter game that plays like a monster hunter game makes me a purist, I am certainly a purist.

 

[UziTheBeast]

Didn't even look co-op and the detective mechanism are you serious. Still buying it lol.

 

[VICI0US]

Eh. Very apprehensive after that reveal. If it winds up decent ill get the PC version. If it's as radical of a departure from core MH gameplay as it looks ill pass

 

[Trojita]

"Westernize" is a bad word, but wasn't Game of the Decade* Zelda: Breath of the Wild a Zelda that came from westernization?

 

[Brazil]

Game looks beautiful, but it's clearly a dumbed down spin-off. I'm still in day 1.

 

[Immaculate]

all the new features sound awful lmao

 

[FACE]

 

[B-Dubs]

Graphics aren't everything, especially with a series that survives purely on gameplay like Monster Hunter. It'll be easy to go back if the gameplay is bad.

 

[OverturePT]

MH coming to PC, fuck y...



Not the MH I wanted.

 

[kaioshade]

I mean I don't see why any of that is inherently bad.

Tracking makes more sense than paintballs. Grappling hooks and expanded traversal options makes sense if they are going for a more open environment. You can already kind of sneak around in MH but it was never a really fleshed out mechanic.

I'll be the first in line to shit on this if it's the Dead Rising 4 of MH but I really do need to see more of it. And please for the love of god I hope this doesn't mean they won't bring over XX.

XX is dead. We get World and Capcom will consider that enough for the US.

 

[Juraash]

Seems like Monster Hunter in name only. None of the draw of MH seemed present in that trailer. I won't pass judgement from just one trailer, but if this is the apparent price one pays for HD, you can keep it.

 

[Eolz]

haters don't realize the significance of this

Japanese sales will say where mainline end up.
Apparently this game is not even coming to Japan.

 

[crinale]

https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20170613-00000001-mantan-game

Well Japanese news outlet is reporting it isn't a spinoff, so..

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

notice how it's not called "monster hunter 5"

Lol irrelevant. Some of you are going to be using "its a spin off" to downplay this title but I'm telling you, it's not.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Guess Nintendo's check bounced? Though not calling it 5 gives them a back up if this somehow fails (which I doubt).

 

[Khezu]

I need to see the actual combat, and a full length hunt before I pass any judgement.

But yes, very skeptical.

 

[Kinsei]

XX is dead. We get World and Capcom will consider that enough for the US.

That would be fucking awful.

 

[NormalFish]

I'm still playing FU and P3rd, I'll manage.

Lol irrelevant. Some of you are going to be using "its a spin off" to downplay this title but I'm telling you, it's not.

Based on your unending intellect or...?

 

[LordOcidax]

Another Spin Off for PC and consoles...

 

[clay_ghost]

"Westernize" is a bad word, but wasn't Game of the Decade* Zelda: Breath of the Wild a Zelda that came from westernization?

the last time we got Westernize games from capcom we got DMC and Dead rising 3/4.

And the god awful RE western spins offs

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Surprised at the tepid reception. What the hell GAF.

Looks great.

No it doesn't.

 

[NotEasy]

I'm glad PS4 got a MH game, even if it's a spin off, better than nothing
Now i just need to see the combat.

 

[SporeCrawler]

regenerating health, stealth elements, open world, qte

i personally don't like it but this hits every note with western audiences. this is the 10 million seller Capcom wished Dragon's Dogma would be.

the reactions in this forum suggest that it doesnt. i may be wrong but i dont see anything that makes it super interesting for western audiences

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Didn't like the gameplay at all. But I'm glad that this isn't MH5 and that Capcom has some progress on HD engine for MH.
