[Jawbreaker]

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

People were going to be down on anything that wasn't a carbon copy of the more traditional games.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Why did this lost all MH charm?

 

[Ridley327]

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

This game sounds terrible.

I'm not sure that really precludes XX, since that would already be exempt from the 3DS version launching in March in Japan.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

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

Yup it looked like MH. With additions. I love the camo system

 

[mclem]

An odd beast, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The weirdest thing for me is how they didn't focus on the co-op play - the very essence of MonHun - at all, the only real nod to that in the trailer being the use of the signal flare.

Would be very intrigued to see Japanese reactions to the announcement.

 

[NormalFish]

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

well sure, but when do you have the coordination to let your team know when it needs capturing and do it but not have the coordination to do the same thing without that perk.

 

[Lyon N. Laap]

Don't have a PS4, very happy I'll be able to get this on Xbox. Don't screw this up Capcom.

Ok with getting XX on my Switch.

 

[Thoraxes]

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

This game sounds terrible.

Well, if you wanna be technical, XX has been out in Japan for 3DS for a while.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

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

They might be starving for a new MH though.

 

[NolbertoS]

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

If you call getting mainline MH games "table scraps". Yeah I agree

 

[sinonobu]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

Not really. Console MH doesn't perform that well there

 

[DanteRavenkin]

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.

Yeah, you're definitely right on that one

 

[expel]

Excited For this one!! Can't wait!
Switch will get MH obviously no way capcom is throwing away Japan.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

PC later? Huuuhhhh... For Christ sake.

 

[yami4ct]

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.

I just want real monhun wherever I can get it. Please don't leave the west with garbage capcom please. Don't slit the throat of a series that was actually getting its footing.

 

[Lifeline]

Don't get the complaints, looked good to me. But I always found the handheld games boring, so i guess i'm the target audience.

 

[LordOcidax]

Some people are forgetting about this game...

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

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.



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

Again Reggie hinted MH was coming to the Switch no doubt that games coming west.

 

[Producer]

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

nah, mh gen sold well

 

[kollapse]

I'm very intrigued and excited but scared of change in MH. That said, if they maintain the handheld series with the traditional structure and gameplay, and experiment with World on console, that may be perfect.

 

[Rajang]

Why did this lost all MH charm?

It's not the main line series, this is a spin off.

 

[FirmBizBws]

fuck capcom so much if they do that

Lol we can buy the Japanese version of the game off the Eshop and its not like anyone bothers reading the cringeworthy text that constantly pops up throughout playing a MH game.

 

[UziTheBeast]

I'm a die hard MH fan and having played all the parts I have to say MH WAS getting stale. With each new iterations I found myself playing less and less. I couldn't believe MH was growing old on me.

Don't get me wrong I love MH but some stuff was realy getting old and tedious. Ugly ass gfx, item rarity, desire radar, useless quests, upgrades/items being locked behind DLC. It was getting old. People are claiming real fans like it as an arena fighter, well to me the actual quests in 1 arena sucked ass mostly. To me MH is the adventure you create with your team.

I'm being optimistic about this, MH needed a fresh start IMO and this might provide it. In any case I will be there day one.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Why did this lost all MH charm?

What MH charm? They were cooking meat at the end. The first MH trailer on PS2 is pretty similar to this.

 

[mugurumakensei]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

Is PS4 portable? We've had console entries on PS3, PS2, and Wii. They tap out at around 1 million sales and that was on the Wii.

 

[The Hermit]

What if the main Monster Hunter becomes the spin-off?

 

[Cuburt]

Graphics look great, but need to wait to see how it plays.

I like Monster Hunter but I'm far from a die hard purist, so a spin-off that just focuses on streamlined aspect of the combat could still be fun. If could also be a game that misunderstands the game it is pulling from and just take superficial elements.

Taking the cooking, making it look exactly the same, but removing the music seems like the type of decision where they want to change things for the sake of changing things, because would that music be a step too far, or is it simply alienating fans by taking out the recognizable elements.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Yo Sparda where are you?

 

[Izuna]

Watching again. Yeah, I'm really worried about this. It doesn't look like Monster Hunter gameplay.

 

[Machinehead]

This looks awful, besides the graphics, but I'm hopeful. I gotta be =[

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Again Reggie hinted MH was coming to the Switch no doubt that games coming west.

nah, mh gen sold well

Hope I'm wrong!

 

[Camjo-Z]

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

damn i didn't really expect it to but now i'm worried about it being localized at all

 

[JoeyJungle]

kinda hesitant about this one, but glad to see a MH made for consoles!

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Wished they showed more combat ;____;

 

[Vital Tundra]

Wit you can call players for help? Eeeeeehhhhhhhh.

 

[Maxinas]

So PS4 skyrocket in Japan?

You don't seem to understand what made Monster Hunter so popular in Japan in the first place.

 

[Kikorin]

I think I'll take it on PC if will be worth. I had the impression they changed the gameplay a lot from the regular series, especially because they didn't show the hub world and the battle system, so I guess this will be a real spin-off.

Anyway I'm in to try something different, even if I'm a huge fan of the classic playstyle and I've tons of hours played, this looked exciting. Waiting for more details.

 

[Ridley327]

What MH charm? They were cooking meat at the end. The first MH trailer on PS2 is pretty similar to this.

With no jingle, though!

Who forgets the jingle?!

 

[jacobeid]

I thought it looked really cool :/

I'm in the reverse, I hate MHX because of the new additions to the gameplay, but its a spinoff so that's okay. This too is a spinoff of the traditional MH style. The real MH will be MH5, until then I'm happy to play whatever we get.

 

[Trago]

PC FUCK YES

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

I'm glad it's getting a reboot. The constant repackages and recycled gameplay was boring. PS controls are back. Camo looks awesome. Gathering seems less annoying. Grappling hook looks to be fun.

 

[MisterR]

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

Meh, it's mostly salty Switch fanboys flocking over from the media create thread to shit on it.

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Console MH. How are people not happy

 

[ArchedThunder]

So... when do they announce MH5?

 

[rpmurphy]

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.

For making many capture runs with a team, it's a useful skill for someone to have.

 

[Kyoufu]

THIS IS EVERYTHING I WAS HOPING FOR

Worldwide servers

SEAMLESS MAP!!!!

I LOVE YOU CAPCOM

 

[Jaruru]

4 players only? hahahahah

I'll go for Switch

 

[Aaronrules380]

Console MH. How are people not happy

Because it didn't really show what people actually like about Monster Hunter

 

[Kebiinu]

I'm indifferent. Looks like a spinoff to me, and I'm not the biggest fan of stealth in video games.
