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

Day fucking One!

Leave the console warrior rhetoric out of this thread. If you like MH spinoffs, go you. I prefer "traditonal" MH goodness, regardless of console. If Switch gets MH5 exclusive, I'll play there. Capcom is still loyal to Nintendo it seems for their mainline MH series

 

[Jawbreaker]

Looks fucking fantastic. I can't wait to see more.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

 

[Kinsei]

Adding to OP.

So we're not getting XX in August? Fuck.

This game sounds terrible.

 

[boondock18]

I play only on PC. I'm glad we are getting a pc game. Hope this turns out good.

 

[jj984jj]

I tried to get into MH with Unite and 4U but never got far. Almost got Generations but maybe I'll check this out instead.

 

[Tankard]

Oh, so not even PS4 exclusive, so no new announcements for Sony this year. Damn, weak conference.

 

[sinonobu]

It looked Okay... I expected way too much I guess.

Getting for PC or Xbox One X

 

[NormalFish]

What. Have you never captured monsters?

It's really easy to predict when a monster is low enough for capture. Just tranq it, trap, and then wail on it if you don't immediately get the capture. Waste of points.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Let down of the E3.

You better port mhxx to the west, capcom.

Capcom's going all-in with a global launch of World early next year.

So, I'd say that, unless XX launches this year in the west, it won't be coming.

So we're not getting XX in August? Fuck.

This game sounds terrible.

I'm going to make my bold prediction now. XX ain't leaving Japan.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

PC day one.

 

[shintoki]

It's not Dragon's Dogma, but it's definitely a Monster Hunter taking heavy inspiration from it. It did not seem as slow paced and methodical MH typically is. Rather more fluid and set piece.

 

[shandy706]

Hmmm....how much later is PC?

 

[LordOcidax]

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

Day fucking One!

Monster Hunter is nothing about graphics​... Lol. I take the main line gameplay over graphics.

 

[Bacon_Boss]

I'm going to play this into the ground.

 

[KHlover]

That chinese MonHun MMO on CryEngine looks visually better than this. For a PS4 game this looks pretty underwhelming graphically. Don't get me started on bloody screen mechanics and glowing stuff everywhere because now in 1080p on a big screen it'll be sooo hard to see what you can pick up /s

 

[MAtgS]

Switch really is just getting the table scraps ain't it?

 

[PensivePen]

I dunno what to think yet. It COULD be interesting, but without them showing even a hint of what the melee combat will play like I'm not sure.

 

[texhnolyze]

Spinoff, not real, gimped, whatever.

I'm in for a Monster Hunter game in a non Nintendo system.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

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.

It has multiplayer.

 

[NullPointer]

Havent played a Monster Hunter since dipping my toes into an old PSP game I think. It was a while ago.

That *looked* like Monster Hunter but I don't know the series well - whats the problem here?

 

[Space_nut]

Yes!! Get for my Xbox One X

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Doesn't look like monster hunter? In what way?

Because it's not an exact copy of previous games? Lol

This looked like MH to a T

 

[Stoof]

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

Day fucking One!

What a dumb post. I was hyped for a PS4 MH but this is not what I was looking for.

 

[tenderbrew]

Wait - people are super down on this? Did I miss something?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Switch really is just getting the table scraps ain't it?

Since this confirmed rumors more a less, no Switch is getting the good Monster Hunter

 

[yami4ct]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

Japan ain't buying console monhun. Like, ever.

 

[Astral Dog]

So th8s was the AAA game

 

[TheBowen]

As someone who played alot of it on the wii version and loved it but hasnt biught a nintendo console, this looks fantastic

Hopefully the gameplay stands out

Cant believe people are calling this game ugly, and then they complain why consumers/companies only care about graphics 🤔

 

[Gren]

Oh so it is coming to PC. Cool.

Not exactly wild about Monster Hunter, but I've also never played it with other people. Might be fun in the early days, assuming PC is restricted to its own pool (most likely).

 

[CronoShot]

I'd say the rumors of a more western focused MH (and if the "World" is any indication, probably open world) hit the nail on the head. Just not called MH5.

 

[hokagespit]

looked awesome! cant wait to see more.
we get all these visceral murder sims and a realistic looking mh wants to play and everyone hates, i am disappoint, im excited for a visceral hunting game. things lose style when they go for realism thats always how its been.

 

[Zoon]

So, when can we expect gameplay for this? TGS?

 

[Hybrid897]

I'm very happy they're finally getting some HD assets. Hopefully the next mainline MH actually uses them.

About this game... looks pretty good? The glowing lights are sort of strange? I guess they're just indicators to where a Monster is maybe just a more understandable version of psychoserum. Also seems to indicate what you can interact with in the environment.

Really hope they don't screw this up. If its actually good could see them developing future high fidelity titles, if its not good it'll probably be another decade until they try again.

That being said the trailer was kinda awful, though I guess current MH fans aren't the target audience. I would have just preferred a single hunt showing weapon moveset and the flow of the fight.

 

[Oregano]

The online change seems super smart and much needed.

 

[Laplasakos]

Capcom just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Monster Hunter World for either system, nor will they purchase any of Capcom's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Capcom has alienated an entire market with this move.

Capcom, publicly apologize and cancel Monster Hunter World for PS4/X1/PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[Kinsei]

Havent played a Monster Hunter since dipping my toes into an old PSP game I think. It was a while ago.

That *looked* like Monster Hunter but I don't know the series well - whats the problem here?

Monster Hunter is an arena fighter heavily focused on combat. None of that was shown in the trailer.

 

[NullPointer]

Is this an MMO? Open world? Co-op?

Monster Hunter is an arena fighter heavily focused on combat. None of that was shown in the trailer.

All I remember was hunting materials, learning about the monsters, sharpening the ole blade and roasting up some meat, and boss monster battles.

Thats not what we're getting here? Or was I playing a spin-off way back then?

Seemed like the perfect game to bring to the consoles with co-op.

 

[B-Dubs]

So we're not getting XX in August? Fuck.

This game sounds terrible.

Oh goddamn it, fuck you Capcom

 

[tuffy]

It's really easy to predict when a monster is low enough for capture. Just tranq it, trap, and then wail on it if you don't immediately get the capture. Waste of points.

LOL. It's not so simple when there's 3 other players pounding on it.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I thought this looked like a lot of fun but I also don't play Mon Hun

 

[omnislayer]

Hmm a Monster Hunter that actually looks decent for once.

 

[clay_ghost]

Wait - people are super down on this? Did I miss something?

Fans not happy that an Monster hunter spinoff foes not playing like Monster Hunter i guess.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

How are people not excited for this? There are like 10 official english MH games you can play if you want old MH. There are THREEE MH4 games in the US that you can play. THREE! And people are pissed that Capcom finally has the balls to change it up? C'mon.

 

[Razzorn34]

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.

While I get this, I wish the fans weren't forgotten. I'd kill for a real MH game on PS4. Not this spinoff crap.

 

[Jaruru]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

Switch does

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Capcom better get their devkits ready and running at the showfloor. We are in desperate need of more gameplay and info. If they leave us hanging with what we have it won't be a good look.

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

Day fucking One!

If that's the case, I'd advise Switch users to stop worrying because MH5 will probably look better and keep the core formula while adding some spins like in every generation. They really have nothing to worry about. Especially not with XX coming.

 

[Orayn]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

PS4 sales skyrocket in Japan for a Westernized version of something that Japan vastly prefers to play on portables, the logic checks out.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

Looks interesting, gonna need to see what they've done with combat before getting fully on board though as this looked very different.

 

[psyfi]

Looks amazing, definitely the highlight of Sony's show for me.
