UPCOMING 2nd ANNOUNCEMENT

Nothing much I know about this title, but you will get soon a second trailer of " Monster Hunter Wilds "

I expect this to occur WITHIN THE NEXT 10 DAYS Probably at tomorrow's State of Play, but it could be a little later

 

[XXL]

It's supposedly at the State of Play.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Duh, of course it will. They said summer back at the TGAs. It's basically June. Doesn't take an insider to predict June for the next MH trailer/ info.

 

[Danjin44]

I hope announce flag ship monster demo with it, but this game is coming in 2025 so that might be little unrealistic expectation.

 

[Skifi28]

I want a release date to prepare myself, but probably too soon.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

It's supposedly at the State of Play.

Definitely makes more sense than the Xbox showcase. MH is still huge on PS. And it's way too big of a game to only have it at the Capcom showcase, assuming they even do one.

Nah, it will be on Summer Game Fest

 

[Evolved1]

yeah, too big of a game for less

 

[Pasta la Vista]

oh yes, this is what I'm looking forward to the most

 

[LavitzSlambert]

LEEEEEET'S FUUUCCCCKING GOOOOOO

If you don't share in this excitement then

 

[Evolved1]

how many 1000's of hours will i play this game... i've spent more time watching the first trailer than i do playing most new games i buy lol

 

[Comandr]

Can’t fucking wait. Let’s gooooo!

 

[Schmendrick]

The first trailer was very underwhelming so it can only get better....

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Nah, it will be on Summer Game Fest

It’ll likely show up at both, with different info in each show. That happens sometimes for the super duper major third party games

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

For an early teaser I really think it was pretty good . It wasn’t meant as a gameplay reveal

It’ll be my most played game of 2025, for sure. Barring some kind of miracle and a new Zelda coming out that soon

 

[Tomi]

Day 1 if we gonna have good graphics
If not then on 29,99$ and with nexus mods

 

[Stafford]

Yeah this. I mean I jumped up from my couch when it was revealed, but on second viewing it looks underwhelming. World looked awesome from the start. I really want to see these monsters and the world more detailed. It reminded me of Rise....

But then....World was a full on gameplay reveal and was a few months away from launch, this one however was more like a teaser and way further from launch.

Given the state of console sales in Japan, I imagine Switch (2) is the lead platform for this game, hence the good but not quite next-gen visuals.

I don't like the sound of that, fuck.

Maybe, but the tech/visual improvements alone were already a disappointment imho. What was presented wouldn't even have impressed on PS4.
Now MH never was a graphics powerhouse, but still.....

 

[Wooxsvan]

Wilds > GTA next year. cant freakin wait.

ya it did look kinda lower quality than i expected at the reveal. pretty good sign it might show up on Sw2

Ian hyped for the switch 2, but I hope devs don't do this too much. I still want every platform to have a good showing.

I don't think it will be the case very often, the other one I expect will be a Switch 2 optimized SKU would be Dragon Quest XII (and any future DQ games). The audience for these franchises in Japan is huge and Japan is playing almost exclusively on Switch at this point.

Yeah, this.

The creatures in terms of detail look more like Rise than World. That's not good. But let's wait for the new trailer.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I think it's going to be a FF7 Remake to Rebirth scenario. Rebirth did not look as good as Intergrade did, but the game's scale was nowhere near as big. If we need to sacrifice visuals a bit in order to gain an open world fully realized version of the guiding lands, so be it. I didn't think it looked bad at all, seemed on par with World. The hair didn't look too detailed considering how many monsters were on screen, but the Rathalos at the end seemed to be World quality.

 

[Pejo]

Let's fuckin' go! Better be more details about the direction of the game instead of just clips of running around looking at stuff.

Pc is getting bigger in japan and I think its stupid to gimp other versions so that switch 2 version is better optimized than other platforms. I think switch 2 will be good enough to recive down ports of high end games so why would you sabotage your own game for the sake of it.

they aren't. i believe this is false, misguided narrative. it's pretty obvious they're spending their resources on scope: mechanics, open world, AI and dense ecology. where it actually matters. World was successful because it specifically sought to reach beyond Japan.
