As much I’m super hyped for this game, I’m not getting PS + just to play it early.

But I’m curious If later on they will add super difficult flagship monster to hunt in demo.

 

[acidagfc]

BTW preload is up for PS+ owners.
It can be launched and I thought maybe character creation already works, but nope, it checks connection right away and loops back to logo screens.

 

[dreamstation]

Edit - Thought it was only during the week but it goes until Sunday.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Forgot about this.
Currently at work, but downloading rn. Can't wait to try it out when I get the chance later on today.

 

[GymWolf]

Do i find the beta in the psn like a normal demo or i have to susbscribe to some bullshit on the internet first?

Of fucking course my internet provider had to to make an intervention in my zone and fuck up the connection for the entire day...

 

[Ronin_7]

Playing this game on the OG PS5 is masochism.

 

[Lokaum D+]

geez, midnight here on Brazil, im fucked

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Playing this game on the OG PS5 is masochism.

Gonna be a hell of a lot of Masochists playing it then.

 

[Sharius]

Wonder if i should go back to my comfy zone with light/heavy bowgun combo, or try out great sword unga bunga

 

[splattered]

[Schmendrick]

I kinda want to see how it runs on my machine, then again a Beta is hopefully not representative for the final performance.
Also after playing a bit the wait for the full game will be so much worse....

 

[Evolved1]

i am too excited for this.

 

[Fyrium]

Very excited. Probably won't play the early beta on PS5 though since work week is busy. But I'll definitely enjoy the normal beta this weekend on PC. (Probably give both a try to determine where I'll be buying it)

 

[Chukhopops]

Still have to wait a few days for the Steam version, really looking forward for Lance impressions (ideally from people who played both World and Rise to completion).

 

[Roman Empire]

geez, midnight here on Brazil, im fucked

RIP. Maybe you can try getting a few hours of sleep before it? Maybe...

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Didn't realize the beta won't be up until 4am CET, so guess I'll have to wait another day.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Will be live on the west coast in about 2 hours from this post

 

[Pejo]

Thursday it is. I'm gonna need to set up a candy launcher to disperse candy to trick-or-treaters while I hunt monsties.

I should be very hyped for this, but I'm still a little "meh" on what I've seen. Hopefully actually playing it brings it all together.

I’m in the same boat.
I should be way more hyped for a new MH, but something just makes me feel a bit tepid.
Maybe it’s years of multi hundred hour MH saves , or this game looking very similar to World. Not sure but ya, I feel you.

 

[R6Rider]

Will play a few hours tonight.

 

[april6e]

I knew something amazing was happening today that I forgot about. Thanks for the reminder OP. I'm eager to try out LBG and Switch Axe to see which one I'm going to main. I wish the PS5 Pro was out already so I could test the performance there.

 

[iCodec]

40 minutes to go!

 

[Lokaum D+]

OK, played the first hunt Chatacabra ( or something like that ), my impressions so far...

1 - games looks good, but nothing out of this world, Ancient Forest had way more visual impact imo than this first desert level.
2 - performance is better than i expected for a 30fps game, the 60fps mode is dreadful.
3 - the OST didn't quite resonate with me.
4 - weapons just feel "softier" and less impactful, also everything feels easier to use.
5 - somehow i prefer the open zone of World than the open world of Wilds, open world game tend to wear me off fast.

that's it for now, is 1 am over here and i have work to do tomorrow, good hunt for you all.

 

[Sharius]

we can stand on monster corspe after we slay it now (atleast for the first monster i slay, hope it will be like this for the rest of them), and focus mode make aiming greatsword charge attack 10 times easier than world

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Crazy that this doesn't have a 60fps mode. It would feel so much better.

 

[bender]

Looks like my lady hunter is going to rock short or no hair as the clipping through clothing is insane.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Crazy that this doesn't have a 60fps mode. It would feel so much better.

Is it going to launch with a 60fps mode?

 

[R6Rider]

Played only a little bit so far. Haven't done the quests yet, just messing around with each weapon.

I mained Hammer in World and Rise, but thinking I might throw Gunlance into the mix. Loving the moveset and seems better than when I tried it in World.

Playing in Prioritize Performance mode.

 

[dmaul1114]

Is it going to launch with a 60fps mode?

It maybe TV/display dependent, but only options I see in the setting on PS5 for the beta are 120hz on or off.

So I’d assume the final release would have more options than that.

 

[Coconutt]

Shoot I sold my ps5 in anticipation of the ps5 pro, I am without a Playstation for the next 2 weeks which is torture. Going to be keeping my eyes on this thread for impressions.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Is it going to launch with a 60fps mode?

I can't find anything online saying that. You'd think they'd make this demo a priority for 60fps. Art and animations are really nice but this frame rate is a deal breaker.

 

[Danjin44]

Unfortunately I have to wait until 31st.

 

[MazingerDUDE]

You can switch to frame rate mode on the main menu. You can't switch it once you're in game.

 

[Sharius]

is this a whole village is an online lobby now? i joined online to slay monster then afk after that, but notice other player running around me

 

[Lokaum D+]

Geez, fuck it, i ll not sleep today

Lance feels great, killed Chatacabra in less than 5 min. i remember some people thinking clutch claw and tenderizing was OP in World wait until u see the new "Focus attack" that shit is Wild

If u guys plan to play this beta, dont use the set given by the game ( the green hood one ), is way too OP and remove all the need of dodge, healing and positioning.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Lance feels so slow now, what did they do to it? I might switch mains, which sucks. Feels horrible.
At least the character creator is amazing.

GS and LS feel good, not digging IG though. They seemingly got rid of the ability of stay in the air for extended periods of time which is incredibly lame.

Try the Gunlance out, it feels better in Wilds than Lance to me, where in World it was the opposite.

 

[MazingerDUDE]

fidelity mode vs frame rate mode

the frame rate mode appears to be 1080p while the fidelity mode is around 1440p

It would be really interesting to see what PS5 Pro can do with PSSR here

 

[Pejo]

Character creator seems much better than either World or Rise. I'm glad to see that. With this "Body Type A and Body Type B" stuff and the unisex armor this time, I was worried we were only going to get androgynous females. Monster Hunter Now (the mobile Pokemon GO clone) doubled down on ugly ass female models too, so it was looking dire.

Are there still male/female armor sets, just interchangeable, or does every monster only make 1 set of armor now?

it really doesn't, it feels different mostly because we don't have the poke, poke, poke, charge defense, poke, rinse and repeat combo of world. The perfect guard attack is strong af but is hard to master, the focus attack is easy to hit, the triangle poke combo is extended to 6 pokes and the circle poke combo goes straight to a charge poke if u hold O after the third poke.

It really does.
You’re welcome to your own opinion though.

You still have separate female and male armor sets, weapon videos showed that.....it just now you can wear both regardless what gender you chose in character creation.

 

[Lokaum D+]

its a new game and the weapon has a new move set, from my testing if u wanna play lance like u did in MHW u ll have to limit yourself to two triangle pokes then back or side step.

 

[april6e]

Graphics/FPS are rough in both performance and graphics mode. "Derp, why does anyone need the PS5 Pro"? This game along with future ones like GTA 6 or Kingdom Come 2 are perfect examples of why we needed the extra fire power to get to 60FPS. Gameplay and the new mechanics feel amazing as expected.
