Well that's kinda the point. This is the most important game at Capcom right now, they are putting their best talent on it.
I don't think anyone should assume that means it will be the same or have the same feel as the previous games. It's being changed to some degree to appeal to the west, although I don't know enough about MH games to really know how much.
I ask OP to potentially put this on the first post.
We now have our confirmation that this is basically Monster Hunter 5:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/dubindo...er-hunter-world-releasing-globally-early-2018
At the bottom of this article, it confirms that the directors of the game are Kaname Fujioka and Yuya Tokuda. Fujioka has been the director of the Main series games (1,2, Tri, and 4) since the beginning.
There you have it. Stop arguing about this being a spin off. It's not.
Its not odd at all. Check MH4's first trailer, it doesn't show a flagship, shows 2 old monsters, no fighting, and literally running the entire time. Doesn't even show the new weapons at the time (Charge Blade and Insect Glaive) either

MH: World's trailer was lightyear's better.
K so as a long time fan like many in this thread I felt that trailer was very anti climactic. Something about it bugged me...
Anyways it looks great, can't wait for the PC version and I think including some stealth will make things interesting. 1 complaint, the only thing I can think of being a slight negative is the inclusion of more Dino themed monsters. I prefer monsters in Mon Hun to be more from fantasy and legend... not grounded or related to some fossil dig. But hey, at the end of the day more Monster Hunter is always good!!

No magic caster thoughMonster Hunter with a real controller and Dragon's Dogma vibe? I'm in.
Give me gameplay vids, Capcom.
Cool art from their twitter
Yes, that's a double drum magazine under that bowgun. NO it's not the first time a bowgun has had a drum magazine on it.
This game looks considerably better than the chinese mmo, think you might be misremembering it lol
DmC and DR4 were outsourced. MHW on the other hand is being made by the very best MH team. Why are people being so concerned here?
Yeah, I also think so, maybe MHW actually began its life as Monster Hunter 5, MHW was supposed to be the evolution of the series, no portable series or whatsoever.Capcom placed their bet on the western audience at the beginning and starting to abandoning the traditional games after seeing the 3ds sales isn't very good in the west and X was a decline in Japan. But they were forced to change their plan after Generations being a commercial success and maybe the switch success is a big part of it as wellThis would be a bigger deal if the Switch hadn't come out.
How about we stop bickering about whether this is the ONE TRUE MONSTER HUNTER and just agree that both entries are being made with the best resources Capcom has to offer. They're both being crafted by seasoned series veterans (both teams have created amazing entries to the series, even "mainline" ones).It proves everything. He's the only director for the main series. If you think the gameplay is going to change that drastically, you are crazy lol. To most MH vets ive talked to, its looks like the same old MH gameplay with lots of improvements and pretty graphics.
And it is in the OP, yet everyone seems to be in denial about it lol
Boxart shows just Rathian though. MH4's had Gore Magala. It's not that big of a deal, but just odd. Maybe it is just some way to appeal to whatever demo Capcom's trying to target in the West.Its not odd at all.

Will they keep Rathalos' cut-and-paste claw dive animation though?
Why does this look like a last gen game visually?
to be honest
we've everything we've seen so far, that rumor was bullshit.

If its not a numbered title its not the next mainline game thats a fact. It's currently monster hunter's next major title but not the next mainline title.

Capcom is obviously making an enormous effort here to modernize this franchise in the hopes that it will draw larger western audiences. That doesn't mean they will sacrifice the soul of the game, and I can't imagine the team responsible for so much of the franchise's progress will drop the ball now.
However, that doesn't take away from the appeal of the previous gameplay. MHXX will be the MH we know and love, and I'm sure it will be everything I've come to expect from the series.
"Mainline" is a worthless distinction.
True. For Monster Hunter fans, this is a good news considering that we could potentially have two ongoing title with vast difference between them to play. I guess those who busy bickering which title is the mainline title is not doesn't even care about MH in the slightest. It's all back to console war shit and which platform is the greates ever.How about we stop bickering about whether this is the ONE TRUE MONSTER HUNTER and just agree that both entries are being made with the best resources Capcom has to offer.

Personally, Rathian/Rathalos have always been the monster of Monster Hunter. In all the games, you fight lots of normal stuff and then this pissed dragon comes for you. A real test of what the player has learned so far. Then make an angrier red version🤣
I am sure they will have loads of weird monsters, hell, maybe we get some mechanical ones.
Yeah, it's not bad..... but to me personally doesn't feel as epic as past trailers? Anyone else get that vibe? I think it's the music, seriously.... I'm not getting the same rush watching that as past reveals. It really doesn't matter though and it's more of a nitpick cuz I'm sure the game will be utterly amazing.Check this trailer out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe-RAeDfOMM
Its better. Also, first MH trailers always suck.
They had better not mess up with my favourite weapon.The LBG was the precision weapon. Now it's not.

We haven't even seen enough footage to declare if this is the same old MH gameplay. All the photo we've seen has gone against that
It was also years before the game was done. MH:W is out in less than a year. They should have shown more.
Bullshit. Its always been the Kut Ku
True, just like how Super Mario World wasn't a mainline Mario game in 1991. I recall it was only granted mainline status in the landmark Importance of Mario Video Games Council of 1996.If its not a numbered title its not the next mainline game thats a fact. It's currently monster hunter's next major title but not the next mainline title. The mainline games are numbered, this is fact.
Qurupeko needs to make a triumphant comeback. I can't think of a monster that is a more perfect match for this game.Okay real talk: What monster are you guys fiending the most for ?
Personally i would die for a next gen Yan Garuga battle, allthough i want Devil Jho in here as well.
I was thinking that capcom learned their mistakes from the resident evil series.
But it seems they don't.
Well.. I really don't know what to hope anymore

Learned what? That RE4 and RE7 were successful and well received reinventions of the series?

God of war spin-off confirmed. Who gives a fuck when Capcom's A players are on the project ?

Tiny Kut was the best hunting mission

7 was successful at the cost of Japan. World will likely make the same sacrifice.

I get that. But I'm not sure why people assume the COMBAT (caps for emphasis because I don't know how to bold on mobile) will necessarily suffer for it. I can see increasing its western appeal by reducing gathering times, modernizing the HUD, and tweaking gameplay systems (stealth and traversal, no transition screens), but the west has shown that they can appreciate deliberate combat. I don't see much about the MH combat system that inherently repels westerners other than old "janky" animations.Well that's kinda the point. This is the most important game at Capcom right now, they are putting their best talent on it.

MH:W is not as big a departure from its previous entries as RE7 was from its series.
Too demanding for Switch?
Looks great anyway.
