what about mhw makes it have little resemblance to monster hunter

Fireflies to mark things instead of having to notice the little pixels that are supposed to be bugs or the 6 rock vein polygons sticking out near a wall.

I can't believe MH4 has no combat. I'm glad MH4U fixed that grievous error.

It feels like an odd inclusion to have the cooking but no jingle but this isn't a release trailer or an indepth cooking tutorial.

the videos seem to be lacking a lot of sound effects (like for picking things up), maybe they just thought cute jingles don't play at e3

Let's be honest. This is as much Monster Hunter as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was a real Castlevania.

Which is to say it's visually a spectacle and has a few characters that you might remember, but otherwise it bears little to no resemblance to the thing it's claiming to be. And then maybe Satan shows up.

Calm down

What is the swimming for then? I guess if I can stab fish and never have to fish again ever that is fine, but also fishing can and should become irrelevant via farm/market systems. I don't want to ever gather fish, is what I'm saying.

EDIT: \/ Fair point, now I feel dumb.

This game looks like what I wanted from monster hunter since gen 1. The animations are really nice and the foliage cover seems real fun and goofy in a monster hunter way. Can't wait to see more

Monster Hunter desperately needs the BotW treatment (ie reassessing the assumptions and being willing to throw away anything that is holding it back due to tradition)

I mean, every stagnant series does, but MH especially

I really don't want monster hunter to have a large, uninteresting world and weapons made of rock candy. Actually, never mind; I kind of knee jerked here a bit - but I don't feel like a lot of what hold's MH back is steeped in tradition. It's more like laziness / thriftiness, like using really old models for certain monsters.

I hope they don't screw the pooch on this, the grappling hook looks really neat.

I'm pretty sure the T-Rex had some Deviljho animations so it'll be interesting so see Rathian/Rathalos.

The backlash to some of the stuff is really funny, honestly. Games have moved on since the PS2 era, we can have big open game worlds now instead of compacting everything into smaller areas broken apart by load screens. A lot of the stuff people strangely consider "iconic" about the series, are just hanger-ons from an era where it had to be done that way. It's stuck cause the series ended up on a handheld for way too long.

Glad I lived to see the day that all games can finally live up to what they were always intended to be: open world stealth brawlers

I'd laugh if they put the time and effort into current gen graphics, only for Raths and a bunch of other gen 1/2 monsters to keep the same janky animations.

I'm interested and it could be cool.

The graphics don't really look "next gen". They traded up from PS2-looking stuff to PS3-looking stuff, really.

The T-Rex had Brute Wyvern body model movements, I'd say it's pretty safe to say that a fan classic like Deviljho would be back.

I was just happy in the knowledge that I'd be able to play monster hunter on something was wasn't a 3ds when they said it was coming to the switch. Them releasing this one on ps4 and pc is awesome, goons will always find stuff to moan about though.

While this looks great in its own way, They better still be bringing XX to the switch in the west. I want both and I will be awfully upset if they dont bother with XX.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
Goddamn, y'all need to calm down over these trailers that show barely anything at all.

However, if Nintendo doesn't announce an English port of XX at their conference, then panic away. I know I will.

Missed the conference live and came to see people's unbridled joy after catching the archive only to discover folks are actually angry. Angry about things that don't even make sense, like zones not being divided (when clearly the swimming bits and vines you have to push aside are used to divide zones) and rapid fire bowguns (that already exist ingame with Rapid Heaven).

Monhun fans are insane and I'm kind of glad I only got into it recently/never play with people that are not my friends.
