Monster Hunter World (XB1/PS4, PC later, Early 2018) E3 info [Up: Effectively MH5]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Tbf, that specific weapon has been in the series for several generations (at least).
I think this game looks hot as hell, this was up there as the most hype reveal for me next to Metroid Prime 4 and the Odyssey trailer.
So glad this isn't a PS4 exclusive, can't wait to have a good MH on the PC.
looks like a pretty generic heavy bowgun, a longtime staple of the series.
Now THIS is a ridiculous MH gun:

Looks sick. Oh, and fucking finally they're adding damage numbers. A few QoL improvements here and there are awesome.

So basically it's MH5 and an evolution to the series? Sounds amazing. No complaints with any of the info so far. Easiest day one in a while.
4chan leak did a lot of damage for folks I think. Lots of worrying about it being "dumbed" down when it's seemingly not the case at all.

I can only hope the 4chan post is not something that got a lot of play outside of spheres like GAF and other hyper-interested discussion boards. The bulk of information it claims about gameplay is basically wrong, and the rest is unprovable tripe about internal strife at Capcom.

What? That looks no different to bowguns we've seen in previous games.

Pretty much. I don't think it did as it seems impressions in Japan are fairly positive and I'm sure impressions that are currently negative will change as we see more gameplay.

I don't even have issues with stuff like quicker potions on the go. I think of something like Dark Souls > Bloodborne where potions on the go meant more aggressive enemies to balance it out.

so MH used to be a stealth game? no troll, serious question

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Given that you could choose a style that let you jump in MHXX, the insect glaive was already rendered obsolete, if jumping was your reason for using it.
World isn't a stealth game. There are some stealth elements present in this entry, but we still don't know how much they're implemented, and I doubt they'll be that crucial, as they seem more like an alternative way to approach some combat situations.
Haha yes, it's kinda fun to read the opinions/impressions of this thread and compare them with the older one.
Oh I remember those hunts! Back when I played hunting horn lol.
MH5 (which is really just MH P5) will probably come out on 3ds/Switch.

Could this fill a From Software void? 
I believe I tried this franchise once on PS2 but didn't like it.

If the previous discussions on this subject are any indication, there are people claiming that it would be too much change to design the game in such a way that you didn't have to do tons of outside research to adequately progress. Compared to that the stuff like movement during potion use is paltry.
I wanted to play dauntless but if this happens then I wont have the time to invest in 2 hunting games lmao. Heck I may have to drop overwatch too.

No stop to use potions? So now there's no risk to healing? I need to see what they've actually done to that. I wouldn't mind this change if only it was something similar to estus drinking in Souls, where you move a lot slower and are still penalised for healing during a fight.

That won't stop some from criticizing it, because the player can move while shooting
Mah MH is ruined!

Shit was dropped with Deep Down and they introduced a new engine with RE7 while using only UE4 for two new titles. Everything else is re-releases of Mt Framework titles.
I'm not going to disagree here. Because Capcom always managed later on to make specialist weapons almost obsolete. Why use hammer, when CB does a better job stunning monsters and offers higher dps?
lol frontier.
The controls on PS2 were garbage. You attacked by moving the right analog stick.Could this fill a From Software void?

Looks like I'll be playing this series for the first time.
yes you're right it isn't. But why were they pushing the stealth elements so much? u know you don't have to answer that because i already know.

It still might be. They just needed to gut that stupid animation at the end really.
I wouldn't say they're pushing it. They showed him sneak past a group of enemies and wade through grass past a larger enemy with a silly hat. It not going to be Skyrim mode where you one shot a monster with a bow from stealth.

I remember this being a control scheme in MH3 too. I was so used to the PS2 controls I actually just used that iconic PS2 controls.
But that dumb animation is great.
They don't even know what they are talking about. Some guy said ( in the other thread) : " looks like Uncharted".
The reveal trailer showed one form of co-op: drop in co-op. You can also play co-op with a preset group but that wasn't shown, apparently.
-----
I think the reason why I was immediately able to see that this game looked great from the reveal trailer (before these impressions in the OP) was that I wasn't pre-fed some bullshit 4chan rumor from a fan that didn't want to see the series advance.
For anyone questioning why Capcom was able to get away with releasing Supers, Ultimates, Turbos, and Extremes for other series like Street Fighter as separate full priced releases for so long instead of working on proper sequels I submit as evidence the last thread on this game. This is the first proper sequel that this franchise is ever seeing.
Edit:
Auto Regen of health was a bullshit rumor. Confirmed false
Don't get why people are kicking off that you can move and heal, they added that in Dark Souls 2 and onwards and that didn't make the game super casual easy.
I'm fairly certain if you heal at the wrong time, you will still get whacked, being able to move won't save you.
Again, Dark Souls has damage numbers so why is it not shat upon there??? Or are we gonna argue that it's hardcore because the damage indicators show up over the energy bar and not in the air...

My body is ready for this. The details make me hype
Them messing up the healing system in future DS games led to a lot of problems with the combat though.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just so usually focused on the enemies that I apparently got tunnel vision. Damage numbers are totally there.
I'm referrign to the moving and healing thing. I know health regen is bullshit (although I assume the Street Fighter esque red health bar still returns).
They never said anything about ditching PR. While DD went into vapourware status, they could've easily still be working on the engine.
Anyway I find it personally a bit silly how they seem to have two engines internally - I thought RE Engine was the evolution of PR which was to be the evolution of MTF, but nope, looks like they brought back MTF for another go. Well, whatever helps to release MH faster

"A lot of problems." What problems? The healing system was certainly not "messed up."
Have you even played a Souls game? Damage numbers have always been present by default.
Edit: Saw the edit.
Demon's Souls has damage numbers.
Dark Souls has damage numbers.
Dark Souls 2 has damage numbers.
Dark Souls 3 has damage numbers.
Bloodborne has damage numbers.
All are enabled by default.

Uh, no?
Dark Souls absolutely has damage numbers on by default. Check literally any youtube video.
Edit: Saw your edit. We're good.
They spent 10-20 seconds out of 2.40 minute trailer... you're acting like they spent the entire thing showing it off. It seemed like they were spending time focusing on new additions more than anything.
But no, MH is now a stealth game. Guess the MH x MGS cross over in Peace Walker was just a prelude to this!
/sWell for one, the over reliance on multiple form and tanky bosses. They were forced into a corner because that's really the only way to make a challenging fight for pure melee builds in DS3.
The game itself is also quite easy when compared to the previous Souls games.

They started releasing games with UE4 and developed RE. How doesn't this look like they ditched it. Again how does this game even remotely look like Deep Down in graphics? Really..
So it is one problem?

Leaving your opinion aside, how is that a result of allowing you to move while healing? This is all that has been said regarding Monster Hunter: World. We don't even know how fast the movement is nor how this change has been accommodated/balanced.
