Aloy for Horizon: Zero Dawn in the PS4 version of MH:W, the character I could care less about but that robo-felyne looks "dope".

E: glad to see arm wrestling is still in

"Beta" (Read: Demo) for PS4 on Dec 9th as well, that's pretty dope. New monsters look great, they really pulled out all of the stops with these designs.

I don't recognize a lot of these monsters. Radical redesigns? Lots new? Just showing off new ones?

That's like the one I recognized, biting on a dinosaur with Doomsday powers.

Most of the monsters will be new, only confirmed returning monsters at this point are Rathalos, Barroth, Rathian and Diablos. And the normal mess of small monsters like Apceros, Mosswine etc.

They've already shown off 11 new ones to some degree or another.

Cool, personally I'd rather have new ones.

Do have my pet favorites though. I'd love to see the Najarala snake around an constrict some other monsters with their new interactions.

The gunlance user, that you see for all of like 5 seconds in the trailer (facing off against the spiky uragaan looking dude) seems to be wearing seltas armor, so that might be an unannounced returning monster. Could also be something completely new, just with similar looking armor, of course.

It does look like one of those was a bone based Uragaan though. Lots of new fanged wyverns too.

I am super jazzed. New trailer for world, Halloween event/patch for Dauntless and the next behemoth is gonna be a cute grumpy lizard.



Good times for the genre.

I hope Seltas returns. Its one of my favorite monsters and I love its set.

Also really pulling for Deviljho, Gore Magala and Brachydios.

I want Seregios and Tigrex most of all. They'd both be really fun to fight with the new terrain mechanics and their hyper aggressive attitudes. Also I got a big old soft spot for Tigrex.

Same. That is far more grotesque than I was expecting, even with the name "Rotten Vale". It's fantastic.

Ohh I forgot to mention that the Dauntless devs decided that having random lootboxes for cosmetics was not "player first" so you'll just be able to buy what you actually want now.

Translation: The internet blew up a few days ago about loot boxes being bad, so we thought it would make us look better to remove them. Microtransactions are still okay, right guys???

Speaking of dauntless, one of the new monsters in the trailer, the red fleshy guy, looks a lot like a dauntless monster to me. This is even shakier ground than the "this pokemon looks like a digimon" argument that everyone hates, though... I still think it looks kinda bad. It'll grow on me.

The founders packs are just for early access/people who want to support more monster hunter games in general. Open beta should be in a few months.

More stuff on that world trailer.

The skinless hippo headed dog thing looks to be using Zinorge animations.

The Bone Uragaan thing actually does appear to be an actual Uragaan variant.



Look at that lovable little face. :) If I remember right the Uragaan secretes a tar like substance that picks up rocks on its body, so they're doing the same thing with bone in the Rotten Vale, kind of like Nakarkos.

It has its own name (Rabodaan) so it's a cousin like Plesioth->Lavasioth or Yian Kutku->Yian Garuga rather than an actual subspecies.

Oh, I didn't realize that was a founder pack. That model seems so weirdly outdated now, even though it technically isn't.

Yes, 3U, 4U and Gen demos all had online multi, but only for US versions, not the Japanese versions.

PS+ isn't required for the World "beta," only for playing it online, confirming that it will also have online multi.

The game was coming out anyway, you paid money to alpha test a game that actually turned out to be rather poor, but they are making improvements to it at least.
