Well this is definitely positive. Think I'm moving my stance from "extreme cynicism" to "very cautiously optimistic"
Oh yeah, that'd be cool. I guess it's possible that it's actually like that and the armor used in the demo has it.

Local MH is such a blast. That's a bummer.
At this point I just hope that the Monster Hunter World presentation happens still. Scheduled for 5:45 on the Playstation Twitch channel. However, there was just a small fire that started on the stage/banner during the Spiderman presentation lol
So who knows what that does to the schedule since it was set to be the last game on the program today I think?

Doesn't the visual and audio feedback from a hit already convey all that information?
Except for the actual damage, obviously
Sure, but at this point you're just being a negative nancy. Worried about hackers on PC? Play on PS4. At least now, playing on PC is even an option.
When is the presentation? I need any regional time as well.
Is the information about cross region play (including japan) correct?
wouldn't that mean they'd have to get rid of all the (branded) joke gear?
that would be a shame... but I guess that's fitting since the footage already has a certain "no fun allowed"/more "serious" vibe to it

I don't know how much damage I'm doing against Glavenus's feet vs his chest. I'll gladly enable damage numbers to do that. The game can definitely do a better job at conveying important information.
Like how much damage does a ballista shot do vs my own weapon? Or does a barrel bomb do more damage than this new weapon I just made? Things like that would go a long way.

This is really nothing new. The game is releasing on home consoles and has no local multiplayer. Japan doesn't buy this series on home consoles because they don't allow for local multiplayer.
The leak was surprisingly accurate. It talked about a Westernized MH releasing on PS4 and PC, with a roster of old and recognizable monsters. I wouldn't be surprised to know more aspects of the leak are true.
Fuck off with this shit. Being unhappy about being denied a game that is already mostly localised is not being salty.
I wanted both XX and World.

Hopefully people will stop the "it's a spinoff anyways" shitposting.
some of the coolest weapons in vanilla 4 was "joke gear" ... So missing that would be a tad disappointing.
Well thankfully there is at least goint to be a pc version for the new Turok: Dinosaur Hunter game
Just stop with this shit. Being disappointed and/or upset about a game that was expected to show up on a system and to be denied the next installment after getting so many at the same time isn't salt. I think PSP players back in the day had ever right to be upset then. People now have a right to be upset. This isn't complaining just to complain.

Taken from Reddit
For new people coming in, here's a recap of info that has been shared so far by Capcom employees who have worked on/with Monster Hunter.
A 4:56 video that shows a bit more extended footage of the things we've already seen.
Monster Hunter: World is not a spin-off.
Monster Hunter: World was worked on by the main development team in Japan.
You can play offline.
Fishing, mining, and capturing bugs still in the game.
All 14 weapon types confirmed in the game.
Tails still cuttable.
Hunt, Carve, Forge loop is still there.
Still has the same rewarding and challenging gameplay.
Health, stamina, potions, sharpness still present.
Sound still plays after making a good well done steak.
Targeting locked 30FPS across all platforms(referring to console).
The game uses the MT Framework. Maybe PC as well, weird wording in this one.
Insect Glaive will be in the game.
When asked about Hunter Arts, response was "Brand new title. Brand new gameplay systems in place!"
Separate maps, but zones are gone!
More clarification on maps/zones: "It's not open world game, but all the maps are massive and wide open, without any loading screens"
Charge Blade is in, Tonfa is not.
No underwater combat.
No Prowler Mode in Monster Hunter World.
Palicoes are in the game.
In-game voice chat is supported.
You can either choose to sneak past small monsters to avoid fighting them, or kill them to collect/loot their bodies. The world is "hella flexible."
Gestures will be present in Monster Hunter: World.
They are completely focused on World for the western markets, and Monster Hunter: World is once again confirmed as the next main title in the series.
After being asked if there will be a Monster Hunter 5 or a game for the Japanese audiences, they reply was: "This is the next generation of Monster Hunter!"
You can both do drop-in/drop-out co-op, or form a pre-hunt party in Monster Hunter: World.
Multiplayer is online-only, there is no local co-op.

What the fuck Capcom
Thank you for posting this... The amount of freaking out that has been going on with so little information has been impressive. Hopefully this will start to calm people down.
I'm bummed that we may not be getting XX localization on Switch but I'm really excited about this one.
Minus that fixed 30 fps, I don't have a problem with any of that. I wonder if there's gonna be new weapon types as well.

Sad things are looking grim for XX as I was hoping for it to hold me over till worlds and obviously on the go.
Can't wait to put multiple tv's next to each other and play worlds with my buddies though. Last time we did something like that for a multiplayer game was Dying Light and it was awesome having us all sit in the same room with 4 tv's.
Side note: Worlds looks amazing and I'm not worried about it at all. I've played these games for years and welcome any new editions and I have faith knowing the main team is making this but I understand everyone being skeptical as there are some pretty big additions to the game. Excited to see the gameplay more in a half hour (that is if they show it).

Eh, personally I hated the joke gear. Mostly because they just looked weird a lot of the time. However, I liked the rest of the games humour.
These sound reassuring, prepared to eat the fattest crow if the stream matches!
Cheers.

Almost everything here sounds fantastic. I really hope we get some more gameplay soon.

Oooooh, all the returning gameplay mechanics sound cool so far. Shame about the open world thing just being miscommunicated marketing or overhyping, but it make WAAAY more sense to have separate seamless map than one big overworld.

Did they confirm any actual gameplay footage for that stream interview or whaterver it will be?
I'm expecting a short interview over the reveal trailer

They're literally predicting Capcom's demise because the company is focusing on MH:W and trying to pick up sales in the West. There's being upset about not getting the game they expected, then there's being overly dramatic. MH is a series that has evolved over time, and the direction Capcom is going in is trying some new things. The Western audience is undeniably larger than the Japanese audience, and it's hard to imagine a company not wanting to tap into a larger audience.
By reading reddit comment.. MHW really seems like traditional MH with zone borders removed, with nice features added like drop-ins and use of environment.
For some people I think biggest think gone is local co-op. Otherwise this seems great improvement!
(..and suddenly I'm feeling that rumored "portable" version for Switch sure will borrow formula from MHW).

Its gonna feel so wierd to play this after growing up looking at the Tri through Gen graphics. It was basically its own timeless artstyle to me, despite how low quality they where technically.

"Damage numbers appear so you don't have to play with a spreadsheet at the same time! Monsters will NOT have health bars."
I think it's fine. Kind of silly that I would print out diagrams for each monster showing which areas were weak to what.
