"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.

This is great as long as there's an option to turn it off for people that don't want to know how much damage they deal with their attacks

 

[Ryuuga]

LETS GO! WE MONHUN NOW!

 

[Vital Tundra]

I'm just going to assume this Uncharted thing is a running joke.

Someone said they Uncharte'foed the game and the timeslots for the livestream got moved so Uncharted was playing in Monhunts slot, yuo get it.

 

[chrisPjelly]

lol Mahvel got shafted

 

[JP_]

Say 3DS was holding them back from making seamless maps (or rather, PS4 finally lets them make seamless maps).

 

[lyrick]

Think we can turn that helper particle shit off?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Ok so we have to wait until 20th to watch live gameplay?

This is boring.

 

[Eolz]

@Stream: seems to still B-roll footage, but with people talking on it.
edit: so yeah, waiting until the 20th...

 

[JP_]

Suit items are a thing, have cooldowns so you can't wear them all the time.

So far one is stealth, one lures monsters to you (is that the black one they showed in expanded footage?).

 

[chrisPjelly]

Ehhhh, this is just the gameplay demo from yesterdayyyyyy

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Same fucking footage.

 

[lyrick]

Ehhhh, this is just the gameplay demo from yesterdayyyyyy

But this time the tree falling over and creating the trap was more apparent.

 

[Nesther]

It's really not the same. There's more footage than shown at the PS event.

 

[Kinsei]

Ugh, the same B roll footage. Show some damn combat Capcom.

It's really not the same. There's more footage than shown at the PS event.

This B roll was posted earlier.

 

[chrisPjelly]

The host knows his stuff lol. I appreciate him asking if lounges were returning.

Okay NOW we have some newer gameplay.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Multiplayer Hunter Lodge confirmed. Drop in multiplayer is just a secondary option.

 

[Boke1879]

The host knows his stuff lol. I appreciate him asking if lounges were returning.

That's the homeboy Malik. He knows his shit.

 

[studyguy]

Definitely not the same at all

 

[dan2026]

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know how much damage you are doing.

 

[Nesther]

Ugh, the same B roll footage. Show some damn combat Capcom.



This B roll was posted earlier.

Oh, didn't know that. Shame they're not showing new stuff then.

 

[JP_]

Grapple thing is called the "Slinger" -- grapples, shoots rocks for distractions

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I'm kind of worried about the amount of scripted element stuff here.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Oh....

 

[Roubjon]

I'm kind of worried about the amount of scripted element stuff here.

I hope there is some dumbass story mode where that sort of thing happens, but the rest of the game is more classic monster hunter arena fights.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Someone said they Uncharte'foed the game and the timeslots for the livestream got moved so Uncharted was playing in Monhunts slot, yuo get it.

Thanks, I gotcha.

 

[chrisPjelly]

WELP, I'll just wait for handcam footage from the showfloor

 

[half a moon]

God damnit

 

[MegaPanda]

Quite a hopeful interview. All 14 weapons are returning too, confirmed on stream

 

[ShemhazaiX]

There was actually a bunch of new footage. Saw some bits with the amphibian. Some more traversal. Was more but I was paying more attention to the words.

 

[Kyoufu]

There should be some presentations going up on Capcom Unity at some point in the future. Plus there's a stream on the 20th. We'll be fine.

 

[Unconditional]

Looks good to me. I'm in! Not sure if I should get on PS4 or PC

 

[Kinsei]

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know how much damage you are doing.

You can tell how much damage you're doing, it just comes from playing the game and learning the monsters instead of big numbers popping up after every attack.

 

[JP_]

Suit items are a thing, have cooldowns so you can't wear them all the time.

So far one is stealth, one lures monsters to you (is that the black one they showed in expanded footage?).

Here's the other one they showed:

To me it doesn't really look like a monster lure that gets them to follow you -- looks defensive or something. Wouldn't be surprised if there's more than 2 options.

In the footage, it seems like the same character had the stealth one and then it cut to him mounted on the monster with the black one. It changed mid jump, so my gut says it was just cut from two playthroughs -- curious if you can go into a hunt with more than one suit item available. I kind of hope you just bring one with you at a time (diff ppl in party can bring diff ones).

I'm kind of worried about the amount of scripted element stuff here.

Go watch the first MH4 trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0O9KwMZ7_8

 

[Camjo-Z]

I'll be sold on this game once I see some actual combat. The new traversal/tracking/chasing stuff is neat and all but at the end of the day I just want to be able to start a mission, find the monster, and beat the crap out of it without being interrupted by lots of environmental gimmicks or scripted encounters.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

So no more of those cat things?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know how much damage you are doing.

Because that way you can feel superior to the casuals who play with damage numbers on.

 

[Playsage]

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know how much damage you are doing.

Because historically the series wanted the player to rely on hit feedbacks and the monster's behaviour to understand how the fight was going

 

[Z3M0G]

monster hunter for people who dont want to play monster hunter

Oh shit, maybe i should give it a chance then...

 

[Madouu]

That was more reassuring, I am looking forward to the gameplay reveal, cautiously optimistic now.

 

[Kinsei]

So no more of those cat things?

They're still in.

 

[Emitan]

They confirmed no cross-play, unfortunately.

Ugh. Great. Nothing like splitting your playerbase to grow the franchise.

 

[Lyon N. Laap]

Yeah, I'm the type of player to look up diagrams on the web for maximum damage zones so I really would like (and fully expect honestly) the option to turn off those numbers.

I'm gonna be browsing Kiranico and the wikia anyway when the game drops, so might as well remove the need for pop up numbers.

 

[Skyo]

Nice, lots of cool info from the interview. I 'm excited! Only MH game I played was 3 on the DS.. Would love to jump in on playstation.

Edit: Oooh that reminds me. I could play this on my Vita-that would be amazing

 

[JP_]

You can tell how much damage you're doing, it just comes from playing the game and learning the monsters instead of big numbers popping up after every attack.

Not really. Just hints.

 

[Randomizer]

So no more of those cat things?

Edit: Deleting my dumb assumptions.
