Support NeoGAF

[Mortemis]

The one concern I do have with this coming early 2018 is if Capcom now sees no need to localize XX. I brought this up in the original MH World thread. Hopefully I'm worried over nothing.

fuck capcom so much if they do that

 

[Gino]

Come on. This is too different to not be a spin off. Not announced in Japan first... the other line will Continue.

 

[Skyzard]

The trailer was bad. It was more running away and watching things happen than actually facing and fighting the monster.

It's a trailer at e3, they're going to make it look cinematic.


High hopes for this.

 

[LordOcidax]

Surprised at the tepid reception. What the hell GAF.

Looks great.

NoT MH5...

 

[Jinfash]

Looked really off imo. Not sure if want.

 

[nephilimdj]

2 things I got from this

CLearly is first mission/tutorial, it looks like its a bunch of pre-set events.
No real proper gameplay

This forum is heavily pro Japanese games

Yep. And one of the biggest weaknesses of the posters here is being unable to see beyond their own biases.

You see everytime a new trends in gaming appear. "People like this?"

 

[yansolo]

I'm just happy more and more traditional console games are finally coming to PC

 

[NolbertoS]

Didn't that rumour say that this would be a PS4 exclusive and be titled Monster Hunter 5?


So was that rumour actually correct then, if its not titled MH5 and it's not PS4 exclusive?


Or are we talking about another rumour?

See way above posts. Half thr rumours came true. MH5 seems exclusive to Switch

It looks jank to western audiences, too. Animations and visuals look dated.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

It's pretty telling that this isn't called Monster Hunter 5. Makes me think that's still some time down the line and perhaps Capcom will be looking at the sales of this on PS4 and XX on Switch to see which platform they should go with.

Or maybe 5 will just be multiplat.

 

[yami4ct]

Come on. This is too different to not be a spin off. Not announced in Japan first... the other line will Continue.

The bigger question is will they be localized, which knowing capcom is a real question.

If they stick west with dumbed down MH while never bringing over the good shit, Capcom can fuck right off forever. Like, what a way to spit in the face of your fans if so.

Nah its a made up set piece for the trailer or Capcom are totally fucking the formula.

 

[Faynwulf]

Looked way better than the leaks made it sound.

 

[butman]

All this moaning, Switch users wish a Monster Hunter that look like this one.

Day fucking One!

I'm skeptical of its commercial success because it just didn't look all that good, at least compared to other games I saw on stage for PS4 and X1. I think its going to have a very difficult time standing out on those platforms.

 

[Gnub]

Just watched the trailer. I'm in but this is such a let down.

They are basically using the MH brand to sell Dragons Dogma. What the fuck.

Someone explain that wisp around the hunter. I don't get it.

I hate the logo. It looks anemic and not very MH. The trailer is incredibly quiet for a MH trailer. Also no coop shown. What a disgrace.

This is not MH but ok Capcom, as a good fanboy I'll still hope for the best outcome and I'll be there day one regardless.

Ki. I hate Capcom.

You see Dragons Dogma, I see Deep Down wrapped in Monster Hunter skins.

A fitting fate for MH when you think about it.

 

[Kinsei]

Surprised at the tepid reception. What the hell GAF.

Looks great.

Is it really that surprising? Generally when Capcom changes a series in order to make it appeal more to western audiences then reception isn't too hot. You'd think they'd learn.

 

[jwhit28]

This is such a typical Capcom monkey paw thing. PC is finally getting a Monster Hunter!... Westernized Spin-off!

 

[chicken_pasta]

Can't wait for MonHun 5 with these assets.

 

[tenderbrew]

Man that sold the show for me. So hyped.

 

[clay_ghost]

Its a spinoff so i am not surprised that it will play different but.....

In term of 1st impression , Monster hunter Stories looked better and more fun.

 

[rpmurphy]

I'm not sure anyone has ever deliberately crafted that jewel, either, frankly.

What. Have you never captured monsters?

 

[Kade]

Looks like a charmless knock off of Monster Hunter.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

All this moaning, Switch users wish a Monster Hunter that look like this one.

Day fucking One!

I don't think anyone has an issue with the game's visual quality.

 

[yami4ct]

I'll settle for a monhun that plays like monhun and isn't just Far Cry Dragons Edition

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

REGENE FUCKING RATION IN MONSTER HUNTER

 

[CEJames]

PlayStation finally getting a Monster Hunter again

 

[Seraphis Cain]

This game looks really good; great graphics seems to have all the elements of a classic monster hunter ( cooking, gathering, sharpening, etc) as well as new elements that would fit in a open world ( stealth, grappling hook, tracking rather than paintballs, etc.) I wonder how many are legit concerned and how many are just angry because its not only on nintendo handhelds anymore...

All I've wanted for years is MH on a Sony console.

This is not what I wanted.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Come on. This is too different to not be a spin off. Not announced in Japan first... the other line will Continue.

this is not confirmed though

 

[brawly]

This looks like the first MH I'd want to play without making me want to throw up.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

While I will buy this and play this, I need more information. Because from what they've shown, it seems like "lowest-common denominator Monster Hunter". All I could think was, "This looks too easy". But again, I'll reserve full judgement once more is shown and the game is in my hands. That said...

Woe betide poor Capcom if they don't announce XX for the West. I feel like the existing MonHun fanbase won't buy World simply out of spite, if that is the case.

 

[nephilimdj]

Nah its a made up set piece for the trailer or Capcom are totally fucking the formula.

Flare thing did seem like a end of mission thing, be weird to be a madeup thing

I doubt they would make a proper HD MH and have tthe first mission collecting weeds like old games

 

[foxuzamaki]

REGENE FUCKING RATION IN MONSTER HUNTER

So its confirmed?

 

[whalleywhat]

PC? Dis gon be huge.

edit: ahaha GAF's reaction. who are you people?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Adding to OP.

 

[Neonep]

I'll eat crow. Hopefully this sells the way they expect.

 

[Maxinas]

All this moaning, Switch users wish a Monster Hunter that look like this one.

Day fucking One!

Console preferences aside, it only looked like a monster hunter game, but just from the small bits they showed, it won't play at all like a MH game. It's pretty much a spinoff.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Win-Win for me. If its rad then theres a brand new take on Monster Hunter I'll enjoy, if it sucks and we go back to good old Monhan thats fine too

 

[Kouichi]

Looks awesome! This was my favorite game of the show.

Traditional Monster Hunter is great stuff, but it is really cool to see a spin-off try new stuff with the core formula. The bigger focus on the actual hunt with tracking and other things is great example of this. The Dragon Dogma inspired mounting is also really cool.

Can't wait to see more!

 

[Krabboss]

This might be a strange question, but do we know if this will actually have multiplayer? Worst case scenario would be if this is supposed to be a single player spinoff game that's more of a traditional action adventure game.

Edit: Looks like co-op is confirmed, that's good.

This doesn't appear to be for MonHun fans. Capcom is chasing new people, so they don't care if we buy it or not.

 

[FUME5]

I'm in, if it doesn't scratch the itch I'll just grab XX.

 

[Luminaire]

I've been playing MH since the first PS2 one and have been so damn burned out on all the portable/3DS entries. This looks lovely and I'm eager to try it out.

 

[Uiki]

Let down of the E3.

You better port mhxx to the west, capcom.

 

[Dragoshi1]

Hyped. I don't care for the haters.

This is what I imagined a westernized MH would be, and it is beautiful.

And obviously its multiplayer too, which is awesome.

That new Brute Wyvern was sick, and those 4 legged things are a brand new wyvern type for sure.

 

[Hattori]

spin off...

 

[Qurupeke]

Visually, I really hope this is the direction the series will take. Gameplay wise, I'm skeptic. Seems like a risky experiment to expand the series. Might be fun, but it will certainly be different to the series people know and love.

In any case, hopefully they move on to those assets soon. Need a proper MonHun that looks like that...

 

[Ridley327]

Yeah, I don't know about this. I know that there's a not insubstantial amount of people out there that wanted Monster Hunter to be more realistic with its hunting, but I've never once thought to myself "Gee, you know what this awesome boss rush kind of game needs? Realism!", and with how janky the stealth and tracking features look, I don't think it's really going to satisfy people. I'm also not a fan of the art direction, where it seems like it's sacrificing a lot of the character that the series is known for to bring in monsters that look more uniform. It doesn't look bad, but it's just not really registering for me as the direction the series needs to go in.

 

[Zaventem]

This is gonna be the next dragon quest in "why isn't it hit in the west?" Hardcore fans ignore it, casual gamers give the same reception they gave at E3.
