Seemingly not the same FY, and I expect MHW to launch sooner than later in 2018's tail end of FY2017 for Capcom to try and meet some sort of sales expectations.
So I'd sooner say 3 months, than 3 weeks.
Just rewind that vid, the MHW footage is still there.
I want some gunlance play dammit!!! I finally get some and it's nothing. NOTHING!!! Can I vent? Can I?
Doesn't really matter, Capcom have devs who worked on MTFramework ports and did a great job, there's no reason for whoever doing MHW's port to not have access to those devs.
I'd be more worried about Capcom's ability to prevent cheats on PC than I am about the quality of the port.

Very Nice
Hopefully we get a youtube upload too
Does anyone have IGN Prime that can share the HD footage?

The stream had a ton of Gunlance in it D: just also had them showing a lot of features (not all of the features were shown on purpose). Gotta say I'm a little disappointed that there doesn't SEEM to be any big Gunlance changes. Waiting on the Arekks video to see if they've added stuff that I didn't notice. Seems like there was something similar to the heat gauge returning but I couldn't tell if it worked the same.
I haven't gotten into an MP focused game in a long time but this may be the one to draw me back in. May even double dip on PS4 and PC to play with my two seperate groups of gaming friends. One of those games I really wish had crossplay!
Big monsters AI breaks in this video! At around 10 minutes in, monsters stop moving, lol!
Here's the mud fish's name, told y'all it wasn't Lavasioth.
So It really isn't a Lavasioth sub. That is easily tied with the dromes as the laziest monster design in the series.
I still say 3 weeks, but I wouldn't be too upset at 3 months, would get me to double dip.

One thing of note I noticed on the IGN stream, there's definitely no separate blademaster and gunner armour, like some people were hypothesising. The guy switches from Gunlance to Heavy Bow Gun and his armour stays equipped.
So guns got rid of their one downside. That sucks.
There is. They moved the defense differences to the weapons themselves. Blademaster weapons get reduced phys damage taken and gunner weapons get reduced elemental damage taken.

no they just set it up to the weapon type bonus instead
so armors are free but youll still take more melee damage as a gunner and less element
and vice versa for blademaster just like before

Watched the first IGN video
Am I missing something or did the post-kill timer run out before he'd finished carving, even though he was right on top of the monster when it died?

I imagine that a major reason for nuking the harder division between Blademaster/Gunner armors is because it's a hell of a lot less work when you only need to create assets for two sets of armor, rather than four. I do think that mechanically speaking, it's a smart change since it's a very newcomer-focused improvement to not overwhelm them with a decision that early on in the game and it makes the weapons feel more weighted in terms of benefits and downsides.

Chalk it up to it being a demo adjustment
they need to keep people moving along lol

Pretty much what I thought, it eases on the art side.
I'm still amazed that there are as many unique sets as there are in the older games. That could not have been easy on the art teams, even with the lower fidelity.
That being said, some of those Gunner armors looked better than their Blademaster equivalent, so I hope they do find a happy medium.
But do they get the same defense or is there a gun factor added in? And how is gun vs sword skills made up?

Yeah I don't have a PC that would run this and no money to invest in a new console. Just have a Switch at the moment. My love for Monster Hunter is almost enough to get my to irresponsibly buy a PS4 or Xbox One.

DAY 1!!! I am ready to get back to MH.
You're underestimating the MT Framework engine which is a last gen engine. That engine is goddamn versatile,it run on alot of computers of various types. If you can run DMC4SE or Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen then there is a good chance you can run MH:W.
I'm sure they thought about it, they'll probably recognize if you're using a long range or close range weapon and give the skills accordingly.
Oh cool. That certainly makes swapping between blademaster and gunner weapons less of a hassle.

Yup and less resources split amongst sets meaning LESS Grinding!

The visuals and graphic didn't impress me in trailers that I saw. Capcom should work on that.

I'm midway through my first playthrough of MHFU, and holy shit it's janky.
Forget the usual "Plesioth hip-check hitbox is shit"stuff, I've had monsters retreat into the water/sky/underground for minutes at a time and constantly retreat from one area to another. Even the hit detection for my own attacks is a bit off, my hammer's charged slam regularly passes through the heads of monsters without doing any damage (yet the initial strike always hits, so clearly I shouldn't be missing).
Everything pre-Tri is a chore to go back to, and even the third generation games are messy and clunky. If you're excited for MHW, playing 4U or Generations (or importing XX) is the only path forward that won't sour you on the series prematurely.
Already mentioned, while using a melee weapon you get a defense boost and while using guns you get an elemental defense boost.
What the hell happened in that one moment with mud Plesioth and Barroth? Neither of them were responding at all. Glitch?
Diablos looks incredible.
Well, if they make it so that they aren't super luck based to get a good one or require absurd amounts of farming then I'm fine with charms being in since that's really the only part I didn't like about them.
Why were we expecting them to be out again? They're the X factor for end-game skill maximization, and there's nothing to replace that element otherwise.
