I think it will be there just a lot more subtle.
Its part of the whole rumor. Wanna cherrypick or dismiss the rumor alltogether?

Cautiously optimistic, but it's bull the PC version comes later.
They better localize XX for Switch, too.

The gameplay footage definitely looked rough, but it's piqued my interest precisely because it reminded me of Dragon's Dogma - which I absolutely adore, despite its graphical shortcomings. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this game; looks like it could be super fun!
I'm a Monster Hunter fan. I don't see how stealth is any worse than, say, the torch mechanic in Tri. Or siege weapons in most Elder Dragon fights. Or mounting in 4. It's an addition that could be fun, but isn't really that relevant to the core of the game.
I'm not excited about this trailer, but I'm not really turned off either. They just didn't show enough combat.

I think that rumor turned out to be fairly accurate and considering that Sony will have a NEW Monster Hunter all to themselves in Japan, it's pretty significant. The NS gets a port of a game they already have.
its also a game about farming ores, a lot!

I'm interested in an actual next-gen take on MonHun. The trailer gameplay looked pretty rough but we'll see when it gets closer.

I have a PS4 and don't give a fuck. This looks super bad.

What do you mean by faster more generic combat? On what basis do you make this claim?
The hunter didn't even get a chance to even swing the Great Sword. The gun shoots faster, but nothing indicated that the actual movement and dodging has even been changed.

This game looks like what happens when Monster Hunter is no longer severely constrained by the memory and processing limitations of withered hardware. I think a lot of the negativity sprouts directly from the leakers framing of the game as "watered down for Western tastes".

Confirmed weapons so far (going from the artworks):
Bow
Great Sword
Hammer
Guns
Lance

And then you rank up, and then fight harder versions of them 20 times, because Kalameet won't drop Kalameet Didgeridoo so you can make your greaves piece for your set.
Oh Monster Hunter, the one series where the grind is worth it because of fun it is to fight the monsters in the first place.
If Fujioka is really directing MHW and Capcom is still making MH5 separately then MH5 must be handled by different team..

The whole open world design is going to be interesting considering you won't be able to just leave the area to heal/sharpen/cook/etc.
That mechanic always seemed like it existed due to the hardware limitations of the platforms the game released on... It looks like MH World is the game that Monster Hunter was always meant to be in my opinion.

Outside of Rath the colors and monsters look dull as hell. What is up with that t-rex? Like, they just put in a t-rex. No imagination at all. Hope that's not indicative of the rest of the new cast.

Looks interesting, I don't know how you can say combat looks generic though. It seems they expanded up Dragon's Dogma climbing with the grappling hook, since it looked different than the struggle that happened in MH4. I wonder if smell plays a part within the stealth, because the monster definitely was trying to sniff and flare up it's nose. Like only certain ghillie suits would work on some monsters or environments. I hope we can set up an even greater variety of traps besides pits, electrics, and bomb barrels and even make those rock drop trap so we can set that up to pull. With bait and stealth, it can be interesting to set up against a monster since there are no zoning in and out of areas. Like set up a bunch of stuff, set up bait, then wait it out.
...I mean, it still has to work solo anyway.
As an avid MH fan, I'm incredibly excited for this game. It may not be MH in the traditional sense, but it's giving the series an opportunity to gain more traction worldwide. If this becomes successful it'll be more incentive to pump out more console MH titles whilst marrying gameplay systems that work within the expectations of the franchise. I'm really looking forward to it.
A new HD open world Monster Hunter seems like the stuff of dreams, but the trailer incredibly didn't do much for me. The brief look at the new mechanics were cool but not what I've come to expect from the series; I wouldn't say it's "lost it's charm" though.
I trust that the Monster Hunter development team at Capcom will deliver an amazing product and that I'll love the game, I'm just surprised at my own reluctance with what was shown.

I'm going to play XX and this to see how I feel. But I like what I saw.
Reading through the thread:
MH fans are understandably skeptical about this, given Capcom's history of "western appeal" revisions.... And the trailer showed little.
People on the "I will only try MH if it's HD" camp are understandably happy, this is what they asked for, but some failed to realised that this is not what some of the fans asked for.
Fans of any game want more of the same but better.
And then you get console warriors who are fighting a war with the invisible posters who are whining about the game not being on Switch, because I have yet to see a single post complaining about that, only those complaining about people complaining about that.

Again, who actually leaves the area to do those things? (Your cooking should be done in town before you even leave on a hunt)

I have to agree, I was underwhelmed when it came up on the screen.
They got till next year though to polish it (hopefully).

There was G-rank in MH4. Sue me for confusing MH4 with the MH4 re-release that I got burned out on.

Ooof, the more I think about it, the more I realize how much shit they're probably gonna cut because "lul western mainstream gamers are dumb/lazy". I hope a future trailer/showcase proves me wrong!

Maybe it's still gear based, the better gear you have the more difficult it is to be found. I think this game might end up being classic MonHun.
Although the graphics are kind of underwhelming considering the platforms its coming to.
It isn't named 5 so I don't know.

This Monster Hunter doesn't look like it'll win over the "new" mainstream fans they want. Really seems the only appeal are MH fans who will play anything and those who will put their money where their mouth is after wanting it on the system. They aren't going to see big traction from this from the casual side of things.
Will not be surprised to see it under sell the what was it 3.5 million expectation they had for it?

I am reading Famitsu's comments and there's more positive comments than I expected.
Some port begging (for Switch, but I suppose we'll hear about MH5 for Switch soon), some complaining they shouldn't have bought a Switch then, some others saying it's time to buy a PS4.
A LOT of people don't get if the game is online only though, thinking it's like Frontier.

That's why you have minions. No minions would be very sad.

Yeah, but it was obvious that Capcom needed this to appeal to more than the nine people who've played MonHun in the west.
or Talismans for that cookie cutter build you saw online.
This was a very bad trailer. They don't show the player hit the monster once other than the mounting. The way it keeps cutting around to avoid showing any real gameplay feels telling. Some of the stuff felt like it could be very scripted which is really against the spirit of monster hunter.

It will be interesting to see how this game sells compared to Switch's MHXX.

Yeah I thought of that afterwards- color palette isn't that far off from MH1 or the PSP games I suppose. Well I like the extra color, anyway. We have enough blade brown fantasy worlds. I like the monsters to be a bit crazier than the standard brown dragon I guess.
Looks like a reboot. Fine by me.
