Fuck, it all looks so good. As a longtime GS user, I honestly don't know what to go with now.

Here's to show that Tonfa isn't canon.

Probably the first time i've even remotely been interested in the ranged weapons. They all look fantastic. My old faves all look great too! (DB, CB, SNS, SA)
That's been in the series since Tri, if it's the move that's a short dodge forward with the shield up.

Looks like it is just you & me, how sad
I've heard that GS is most used weapon in general
Edit:

That's cause it's a top tier weapon with the best raw damage output. Plus, it's super satisfying to use!

Hunting Horn still awesome. Out of curiosity, how changed has the weapon been since freedom unite?

Insect Glaive and Charge Blade stood out the most to me.
These aren't the complete movesets either (no hammer spin/aerial spin) so there's still hope for the more boring weapons.

A big change is that you now queue up notes as you attack. It makes playing songs mid fight a thing you can actually do.

Kinda got that archetype covered with Lance, GL, and IG, don't they?
I'd be very interested in a melee/ranged hybrid like a boomerang/club or a chain/sickle that uses a transform system like the SA or CB.
Eh you're right, it's more an look thing with the Glaive for me. I just like thrusting weapons.

GS user here, looking great. Glaive is tempting but ill probably stick with what I know best.
Obviously I'm not talking about that. That's been in since MHP2 at least, not Tri.
It's like a quick dash/hop forward. You can see it in the JP stream.

Lance looks the same as ever. Why can't we lancer get a sick move like other weapons?

As an IG main... maximum hype has been attained!

I'd be so down for a move where you plant your lance against the ground and huddle behind your shield as a counter to monster charging. Followed by a lunging upward thrust/shield bash (with high KO) as a reward for perfect timing.
Never mind flashy moves, that sweep attack is the worst thing yet they insist on having it in every game. :/

Bow looks like a lot of fun to use.

Finally some real distinction between HBG and LBG.

Charge Blade still looking sexy. Was my main in MH4. Will be maining SnS and CB like always.

Great! nice to finally see Charge Blade in action.
Is it me, or does it look a bit slower?

Soooo wheres the blood, and why is it replaced with dirt?
It's a shame we already have IG and Lances, I'd love to see Capcom's take on that weapon type.

It's currently absent in the footage, but it'll be there in the shipped product. Actually, you can see blood in the bow footage for whatever reason.
Night Angel

It's been like this in all demos. There will be blood in the final game. I feel like we need it in the OT at this point.
Did they confirm that?

The sword attacks do look like they have little bit more weight to them but not by much.
I legit didn't know. Last I heard they said something about not wanting it to look gory or something like that.

Monster Hunter: World should be called Monster Hunter: Slide
Best thing in the Lance video is not carrying over the multi-stab from Generations.
Instead of having to go into the recital mode to play notes, all the regular attacks play notes instead and once you have a valid melody you press R to do one of the old recital mode attacks to play it. You can press R again to do an encore of the same melody you just played.

Oh cool.
It's there, first few secs of the video.

We also get glimpses of different armors at the beginning of each demo.

I wonder if SnS will still have that attack that let's you do an aerial while going up a ledge. Made for some fun mounting set ups in 4/Generations.
I think every weapon has that now.
