Story mode was hype in 4U.
Awesome trailer. The monster animations are incredible, holy shit. A lot of different and huge environments as well.
Not terribly interested in the story, but I'm impressed by the presentation in those cutscenes. Great stuff, great stuff.
Capcom still has some top tier talent, apparently.

It's for me.
Someone who has been a fan of the series since the first MH on PS2. Imported a Japanese PS2 just to play MH2, imported MHP3rd on PSP, imported MHTri and a Japanese Wii on release, played Monster Hunter Online on Korean servers, even though I didn't know a lick of Japanese or Korean. I follow the series wherever it goes, and MH World looks like it's for anyone who has ever followed the series.
Their MH teams have always been top tier, but held back by hardware limitations. MHW is basically a culmination of the main MH team's desires over the past decade in a single package. Thank you, 5.5GB of RAM.

Yeah which is why recent 3DS Monster Hunter games add a bunch of voice acting and characters in missions, back in the PSP days there's pretty much zero story, no voice acting either.
Do you live in Asia?
Cause everyone here is talking about it and can't wait for the game, that includes Japan (minus the 3DS fans), and let me tell you there are a lot of old school PSP/PS2 MH fans like me who missed out on the 3DS/Wii/WiiU games.
For us, Monster Hunter is finally BACK to where it belongs, and we are all really happy about it.
That actually looks pretty good.

I need them to take advantage of multi-core CPUs, HBM2 and GDDR5x on PC next
I assume that's what the delay is for.

I don't even like Rathalos all that much but I agree.
Would buy a Zinogre version in a heartbeat, or Nargacuga which is also my fav.

My girlfriend loved MH4 *because* it had at least some semblance of a story. She enjoyed going through the village quest and is now a fan.
Does she not count or meet your purity test?
Yeah, Zinogre is also my fav monster.

Put me in the camp that hates Zinogre. Design is too busy for my liking
I don't dislike Zinogre but he is pretty anime, especially his subspecies which is reeeeally anime.

For what it's worth, I do care, but I'm not exactly dependent on it when it comes to my hype levels of Monster Hunter. I care because it's relatively unexplored territory in MH, and I think there's some pretty good potential and interesting experiences that could come about from stronger contextualization.
MH World is really the type of MH game I've wanted since the series left consoles and went handheld for ages. I get why they did -- the Japanese games market is a much different beast than the Western market. But having played the series since the original in 2004, and only having missed the first Freedom release on PSP as far as the stateside releases go, I started growing exhausted with the established setup around the time MH3U made it to these shores, and I've been dreaming of MH's true return to console with some mixups ever since. I won't claim to be the hardest of hardcore, I've liked the series enough to stick with it, but I also didn't play some of the games that released to any extraordinary length (the original MH3 on Wii, and MH Generations are two games I only dabbled in for around 10 hours each).
I also understand why parts of the hardcore, dedicated community look at it and don't see much. I'm also not of the mindset that World is guaranteed to be great, I think it just looks very, very, very promising, and I think the story inclusion is one of the most fascinating parts of that promising package... And honestly, in context of the larger gaming market, I feel like some breaks from the mold have proven to be absolutely astounding efforts, some becoming some of my favorite games of all time -- Breath of the Wild broke from traditional 3D Zelda formula, Horizon Zero Dawn came from a studio known only for a decade of gritty first person shooters, and I'm sure there are other examples I can't exactly think of right away that have occurred recently. I'm absolutely okay with Monster Hunter taking a shot at something different after basically becoming a tech-limited handheld franchise after its console debut. It could be the series' Skyward Sword, or it could be its Breath of the Wild. I have faith based on what I've seen that it's leaning more towards being an exciting new direction, but I won't know definitively until I play it -- and I can't wait to find out.

Pretty much why I hate it. Feels like it was designed to be edgy by some low grade manga artist. Stark contrast to Nargacuga where the design looks super natural. The over the top designs are all my least favourite.
Zinogre Z armor is dope, tho.
I like using it at least

It's exclusive to PlayStation in Japan, which is where the LE console is releasing.

Not just Japan but pretty much all of East Asia, I don't even know there is a Xbone and PC version until I looked up on the western side of the internet. It was treated like a PlayStation exculsive here.

Lmao you're still so salty about Monster Hunter World being multiplatform and not exclusive to Nintendo consoles no more 😂
Also just because you also own a PS4 doesn't change shit that can be got cheap as chips nowadays we already know your hardcore love for Nintendo don't try to hide it
pretty done

Dumb design, fun fight. Gameplay is what matters more tbh.

Any confirmation if Nirugigante is going to be on the cover for NA? I will be a bit salty if it stays as Rathalos...
Rathalos is the current plan but I did message one of the community managers who relayed the suggestion of a reversible cover to the relevant people, so you never know, they could give us both covers.
Looks like it, yeah.

That freakin blows.....even if it is on reverse.
Why? Reversible means you get both.

If reversible has the proper PS4 labeling/branding structure, sure. I'm OCD like that

Sorry for my casual opinion beforehand, never played Monster Hunter but this looks fantastic. :O
Don't fucking speak for me dude. 4U's low rank story was solid and Shagaru was a hype as shit final boss.

On the subject of MH4 having a story. Isn't Monster Hunter World being developed by the MH4 staff too? Might explain why this game has a story as well. It's simply following the trend of the last mainline title.

Lame, but i guess it saves me like $600

It's literally just Monster Hunter with a more cinematic, big budget style story. Something to guide the player. I don't know why people are upset by it. Beats texts boxes.
Yeah, the two directors are 4U director Kaname Fujioka and lead planner Yuya Tokuda.

This is what I wanted to know. Thanks.
I hope that someone in this thread bump it when the collectors pop on amazon. I'm just waiting to hit that preorder button.
I actually thought that MH4 was a good story that was well developed, I haven't seen the series top that ever. Hopefully MHW surpasses what MH4 did

It's almost noon in Japan do we know where we can preorder the PS4 Pro yet? Is it a Sony online store exclusive?
Email from monhonbu said preorder begins at 12 o'clock Japan time.

Did they say where preorders would go up?

Never played a MH seriously but totally in for this game. Might even grab the PS4 Pro if its viable.
