I thought this was being made by the main MH team. At least that's what I was reading in this thread last night....

That's the problem when you show the title/date then follow up with more footage and audio is only after that
I do like what I'm seeing, quite a bit, but I'm not sure it's the right format.
What makes monhun compelling to me is the portability, so that I can invest some time on it, and local coop. Hunting together with people around you is truly something else.
But I know in the end I will get both this and the XX translation.. Who am I fooling..

But Shawn did hype the MHW announcement beforehand?

He would probably also say X or Freedom isn't a spin off? Whilst the community says they are.
Anyway the extended version of the trailer is much more comforting, watching it multiple times make it appear like the chase sections act like pseudo arena changes. But please cap on don't lose the MH charm.
Nothing happened. It's just a bunch of people happy at what they saw and a bunch of people unhappy at what they saw chatting back and forth.

A little yes but it would have been better with a follow up showing some excitement and getting the crowd going, same could be said for any of those games every time they showed the audience they looked like they were barely even paying attention because it was all trailers. I'm sure the game will do very well regardless though so I'm not worried.

I hope you are right. I dont have a reason to want this to be shit. But I am worried.
So MH is done for Nintendo and XX is the last entry?
Not really. Especially since an insider in this thread has already confirmed they're working on a traditional MH game.

Non segmented levels? Time for me to give mh another try.
I think there was a post saying it's pretty positive but still early days hah.

It's like I said elsewhere, I'm not mad about Monster Hunter Worlds and I hope it does whatever Capcom is expecting it to do, but if by the end of the Nintendo Conference there's no confirmed US release for Monster Hunter XX I'm gonna be upset.

I doubt it, those 3ds games must be real cheap to produce at this point considering how little they've changed the formula over the years.
Do you just want people to keep porting the same game over and over?

No, Monster Hunter will come to Switch at a later date, but people need to stop with this "I'll just wait for MH5 to come out for Switch". This is MH5 in everything but name and Capcom are treating it as such. The insistence of some people in this thread to discount this game as a spin off even after Capcom keeps saying it's not as well as the other evidence available is so immature and obnoxious.
What do you mean? XX is an expansion to a game that just came out last year in NA.
Yeah i guess. Gonna have to wait for proper gameplay footage.
Maybe Sony really moneyhatted, who knows. Still hilarious to see people a few pages ago swearing that the Switch couldn't run it
Considering the amount of posts like this, i think it's going to be hilarious if the Switch game will indeed be called "Monster Hunter 5".
I know that this is a "Mainline" entry (i would say a Mainline reboot).
Going back to the rumor, maybe MHPortable could be MHW portable or some type of G Version in the Future. We will see what Capcom will do with this IP which is the most important for this Company.
Too early to say, this could flop. Just don't think it can be assumed.
This looks plenty traditional and they easily be making that assumption. A lot of people assumed Portable 4th would be a thing on Vita.
3DS ain't cutting it in 2018 and beyond.
Can you link to this post?
I don't think they do - but they do want a localisation announcement which I don't see the problem with. Would be a shame if MHXX slipped through the cracks due to MHW

you cant just ruin a man's sardonic mirth like that
I think the portable games might just go with the Generations or World branding, whatever fits with Capcom's movie pursuits for the brand

I think they're just in denial. This is getting a mainline treatment and it's pretty obvious.

It's cool that they're trying to expand the series to a wider audience and that more people will get introduced to the series.
That being said, I'm kind of lukewarm to what's been shown here so far, especially in regards to gameplay. The trailer is not very inspiring. But let's see how it evolves!

I want the game that's coming out in Japan in two months to get localized?

more like they're just fighting over the games name for no reason
Too early to say? Do you really think Capcom will drop the games for Nintendo portables? Only if they hate money and Nintendo and Capcom had some crazy fallout and they are like, XX is the last game you'll be getting. A new entry is an easy 3M seller over there in Japan.

This is even a sillier reason for them, Capcom releases many mainline games withou any number in it.
Thanks!
Yeah, because capcom is trying to sell it.
Oh, i didn't realize Matt already commented on this. Well that's pretty much what i was already thinking.

I think it's because the original rumor that confirmed this game pretty much said "PS4 is getting an HD Western Focused Monster Hunter Spinoff and Switch is getting MH5 developed by the original team." Now it seems like some of that might be wrong, but it's too soon to tell yet.

Well the flair gun wasan indication of co-op. Yeah I know, not what we wanted but oh well.

That's exactly what is happening. I imagine they'll show it off in that stream on the 20th.
I think you should be careful about how you describe it. The gameplay systems are being modernised to increase it's appeal to the west, but they're not necessarily being westernised. As I've said in previous posts, there are some very nice quality of life changes to some of the features coming that traditional MH fans will really appreciate. People need to move away from this idea of the franchise being "westernised".
The next MH game on Switch will also draw from World as well.
Capcom ignoring the core fanbase for their biggest Japanese franchise doesn't seem very likely.

Hope they didn't cut out its charm to westernize it more... and you can turn off detective vision...

What is on the 20th?
A stream of the game.
Agreed

So they are investing a lot, treating as a mainline game, announcing in the biggest gaming event of the world, in a press conference no less!, being developed by their internal team.
But they're just treating it as a mainline game but it's actually not?
right lol
