Yeah I agree that stuff did seem strange, which is why I think it was purposefully tweaked just to show off the new features.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Monster Hunter: World (PS4/XB1 early 2018, PC later, directed by MH4 lead planner)
- Thread starter EmCeeGramr
- Start date

I hope there's a way to turn off or get rid of those firefly things that seem to mark all the resources and possibly guide towards the bigger monsters. They seem to fly into a little pouch of sorts on the player at one point so maybe they're just a piece of helpful equipment or something.
- Steath system in MH (lol)
- blind monsters
- odd player mov
- grappling hook? lmao
- generic art style
I hope it gets better, for now lacks the MH soul.
Sure a spin off

call of duty had more claps at the conference
That is pretty par for the course for the series though. You can be right in a monsters face and it still won't see you until you attack if you've thrown a smoke bomb. I doubt the suit will work after the monster knows you're around.
Looks like you have to manually activate them. At one point the hunter gathers something without the firefly things highlighting it.

Sony doesn't want those. There might be cross play between x1 and pc, though

None if sony is involved maybe between xbox and pc

It would be cool if you still have to mark the big monster first, and the "fireflies" thing is the new indicator that takes you to the monster instead of the dot on the map.
It's not even releasing on Xbox One and PC in Japan, and we have confirmation that Sony turned down cross-play for Minecraft. There is no hope at all.

I wonder if they'll add dedicated lock-on and visible monster health. Will the mission based structure persist or will it be more of an open world?
If you follow the 4chan, World is the mainlian game and switch will get its portable series.

little more optimistic about this now. wish the trailer wouldve shown this...
YEESSSS. Now it's just a matter of content and single player. This will probably be Tri levels of monsters and quests, but I'm OKAY with that, with this being a new generation and all
All whilst the instinctive, primal monster extends it's sinuses and smells,
yet isn't triggered by the scent of the hunter directly in front of him
the stealth is a concern after rewatching the trailer
but I'm still open to the idea

It's pretty obvious that's exactly what they were doing, to show things off. I mean, the monster was knocked out on the ground and they just stood their and waited for it to get up before running away, to show the chase of course.
I wonder if that will be a major shift in the game. It showed a lot of baiting and taking them to areas where the environment and other monsters will do more damage. I'm sure there will still be all of the combat of the other ones, but when you can do more damage this way, it might take out the incentive.
I'm still on the fence on this one. If it was on the Switch, I'd most likely get it (handheld and such), but I'll keep an open mind and see how this one turns out.
Maybe he's actually just blind, uses scent (hench the huge nostrils) the "cover" was just to have the the smell of forest.

Damn, no switch.
Looks like this is going to be cute. I'm not a huge MH Fan so it's okay I guess. I doubt there will be any cross platform play between consoles but I see both of them tapping into PC so there's that

Let's hope this is a similar situation.
I'm already a bit wary of something like that, since that strikes me as basically a very elaborate zone change that will play out the same way each time. It looks cool, but I'm already kind of over it.
It lacks 5 on the title, so its safe to assume this one is the spin-off. They could have name it Monster Hunter 5: World.

I feel a bit better now yeah.

Alright good, health still there.
Hoping that's a limited use and limited time item.
You honestly think the Switch is capable of those graphics?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Your avatar. Your a good person.
I think it would have gone much better if they had an actual presentation of the gameplay. Showing it that way backfires a little bit because it makes it hard to tell what the combat is like. You gotta show the fundamentals; not just show the new stuff and let people fill in the blanks.
I guess another way to put it is: The trailer seems badly directed. And I have a feeling the fault is entirely Sony's own, given the rest of the conference.

Nearly everything shown so far has me excited. I just need to see some combat and see how stylized its become and I'm 100% on board.

I think the big thing is the aesthetic of monhun is too Japanese for the west.
Like its too goofy.
So I think they're already getting off on the wrong foot here lmao/
It's like Dragon Quest.
Have you seen ARMS?
Or Zelda?
Or Mario Kart 8?
Y'all cant be serious.
I mean this doesnt even look better than Dragon Quest XI
I mean, any kind of zone change would get old after the first couple of times. I got tired of zone transitions over a decade ago.

Go watch the Monster Hunter 4 reveal. I don't recall anybody acting the way they are with this trailer when that was shown.

Wow... this MHW trailer actually seems like a reference to that trailer. (but much better indeed)

Yep that's the crusher for me. None of my hunting crew will be going the PC route. I payed whatever a fucking N3DS cost at launch to play more MonHun. I'm so tired of wasting money on hardware I don't want.
As a huge Monster Hunter fan (500+ hours invested) I'm pretty optimistic about this. It's good to see the team trying out new things and ideas. If you want the old style Monster Hunter there is plenty of that with Generations and XX. In fact, there is so much of it that it got a bit tiresome. It's time to change things up a little. If it turns out some things don't work they can always dial it back a little with 5 or whichever sequel, but I prefer they at least TRY.
There are some great ideas in the trailer imo. Tracking, the hookshot, but most of all, the open environment playing a big role. Natural traps, water washing things away and other neat stuff about using the environment to your advantage. The game also has this more organic feel to it, with for example monsters attacking and even eating other monsters.
It's not like I don't have concerns. The world seems a little too bland. It's also weird they didn't show combat (even in the extended gameplay trailer) and I agree some of the animations look a bit off. Overall there seems to be a lack of joy and wackiness, which is part of the core DNA of the series. It's still a bit unpolished or even unfinished (animations/no music?), but there is potential here.

Yeah that's actually what made me go back and find the trailer, something felt familiar lol.
I could see them being used like that but at the same time from the footage it looks like they might have already been guiding them towards the monster without any prior encounter with it. I wonder if the switch to open world will give us other ways to track a monster outside of paintballs on the map or the new guidance system.

PC later.... fuck!
Gonna have to double dip here. Reasoning for ever purchasing a switch is now dead.
What is that wisp shit? Is it for gathering quests or is it just a highlight for collectables? Its a bit OTT.

I've seen it. It's actually probably worse in retrospect, but I also don't remember it debuting at an E3 stage like this.
If I were Capcom, I would show the fight in the trailer played properly ASAP. Preferably with a UI. I think the difference would be apparent.
I can't tell if the monster with the big belly is a Leviathan or an Amphibian. It seems to be the same kind of monster as the little ones.
Looks like it's a way to highlight collectibles. The gameplay vid makes it look like it's totally optional though.
