Shogun Ceanataur is a dick.

As long as I don't have to look at another loading screen every few moments or while in the middle of a battle, I'll support this.

How did you post this when you closed the tab?
Tracking via monster habitat, what it likes to eat, scent marking etc, would be a cool way to hunt but then it's not traditional MH.

This makes me question if there are going to be elemental weapons and if people will abuse the machine gun and slime/blast.

great post. between this trailer & the one for crackdown 3, i'd say that there're definitely some people in the trailer-making business that're absolutely clueless when it comes to communicating with their intended audience. it's almost as though the intention is to actually create confusion
...The bowgun in the trailer looked like it was doing fire damage. Even if it wasn't I think it's safe to say elemental weapons will return (Although their damage formula might be changed). They're not exactly hard to grasp.

Cause we haven't played it before and we're interested...
Probably posted but here are gaijinhunter's thoughts:

He seems genuinely excited. I share his thoughts on the trailer catering to existing fans instead of enticing new players.

That's one of the most hilarious MonHun bugs I've seen yet.
Okay so, I just had a glimpse at a decent portion of the discussion here, and have a question--is there any actual evidence that this game will have 'dumbed-down' mechanics or whatever other buzzword for western gaming boogeymen outside of a 4chan post and hints of tracking systems and new weapons (which seem like pretty intuitive additions?)
Obviously the game is open-world from the announcement, but I can't imagine having segmented areas of a larger space in sprawling lands with huge monsters was by design. Admittedly, I have only played a bit of 4U and found that to be rather tiresome on a handheld, tried XX as well, and that still didn't grab me, but I would welcome a chance to play this sort of game in a sit-down experience with nice visuals.

Couldn't get into Monster Hunter on PSP, couldn't get into Monster Hunter on 3DS, but I'll probably still give this one a try.....
It's not a bug, it's a crab =D
That's already been confirmed. Even with Japan which makes me wonder if there will be any fun weapon/armor crossovers.

The details sheet in the OP already confirms this.
They have only shown very little of the combat so... they're being negative for the sake of it.
I keep thinking I missed a trailer or an info dump or something, because the trailer at E3 was like 5 minutes long and seemed pretty obviously focused on showcasing new elements, and an actiony scene with a monster.
Even if the game presumably had the usual drawn-out battles, it isn't like they can really show that in a trailer only a few minutes long.

My thoughts too. I didn't see anything massively different, except for the rapid firing gun.
I would assume so. Would be a glaring oversight if they didn't. Will be interesting to see what "drop-in" multiplayer entails. How it effects carting, etc.
I think what bothers people is the weird detective mode, the grappling hook, and other quality of life stuff they're adding to the game. Some may love that but others are weary that it ruins what makes Monster Hunter a fun, challenging series.
Not showing all of the weapons or a HUD really raises those questions and even I'm a bit weary that we're getting Lost Planet mechanics in a game that honestly didn't need them.
People making the assumption that western audiences can't appreciate deep combat so it will be simplified for casuals
If you look closely, it appears that it doesn't fire that many actual shots, despite the muzzle flash looking like it's a mini gun.
Detective mode was by far the thing that put me off. I have since come around on the rest of the trailer mainly being a showcase for new things and not necessarily reducing the importance of melee combat. But following glowing trails in detective mode is the worst trend in modern games.

Glad that Japan, homeland of the monster hunting business, seem to like it.
I kind of disagree with the notion that this was a trailer that caters to old fans. I mean, just the reaction on this thread alone contradicts it. If they had confirmed that the Monster Hunter everyone likes wouldn't change much and everything on the trailer is just QoL additions, there wouldn't be so much confusion and the reception would have been more positive. It actually seems like a trailer that caters to people new to the series, or more like those with a basic understanding of it and nothing more, as it's trying to be as flashy as it can.

If Japan likes this its fine.
Lol
The reception would have been a lot more positive if it was announced for Switch/3DS.
With that trailer (with worse visuals of course)? No way.

That has to be the worst box art text I've ever seen
I severely doubt that. A lot of what people are reacting to are the fundamental changes that they're making here, which would be just as criticized on Switch/3DS as they are now.
I really don't know why people keep trying to make this a console wars thing. It's not a console wars thing at all.

What are the fundamental changes? I like MonHun, but I've only played 2 of them (MH4U and Generations) so it's hard for me to pick out "fundamental" changes.

Absolutely not if it was the same trailer/marketing.

If this was on the Switch I still woulda reacted the same. That trailer fucking sucks. It's all the additive details along with the extra Japanese footage that eased my concerns.
If it was 3DS I woulda thrown something cause fuck another 3DS MH.
Yeah, it would be really cool if you actually has to pay attention to follow tracks instead of this terrible detective mode trend.
Withholding judgement.
Because it obviously is.
It's like people have forgotten the MH4 reveal trailer with just a dude running away.
Primarily, the tracking and stealth mechanics, moving from loading screens to loading tunnels (I wish there was a better term for those, but...) and the grappling hook being used for traversal. There could be more, but the trailer was perversely light on combat.
The detective vision stuff. The enhanced focus on the environment. The stealth. The changes to the light bowgun (it appears to be a machine gun now and you can move + shoot for some reason).
It was a poor trailer that should have been followed up with some gameplay to show whether it is still classic MH or not.
That was a conceptual trailer for a game that was two years away. This is a trailer for a game that's out in less than a year.
