25 minutes of Monster Hunter World footage

How so? Aside from stealth mechanics and more world interaction it looks like the same old MH as always. If anything, I hope they have more differentiating features they haven't shown off yet.

I've never touched a monster hunter so I'll leave that first part alone and let someone else confirm that but it certainly didn't look like any action game I played and I play a lot of them

Apparently they are fireflies they seem to guide you closer to the prey(I get that right mh fans)
Thats new in Monster Hunter World. Scouting flies that allows you to track a monster.
Those are scout flies, which help you track monsters. I'm pretty sure you can turn them off as well?
edit:beaten
yeah i know right! I was playing monster hunter on ps2 back in the day (was a pain to get online) and then they introduced this energy flashy attacks and called it styles that looks like kingdom hearts combat and they speed up animations from game to game and they introduce prowler mode where you play as a cat with easy mo-
wait...
yeah, i don't really follow MH games. just searched for the old thread - " [Up: Effectively MH5]"
my fault, really not trying to kick the console warrior nest
not the first anime avatar to call for my ban

only a small thing but it would be better if they move the map from lower left to upper right.
still im so in for this game.

That's the opposite of what the dev said. Its MH5 with a different name to make the game seem less daunting to new players.
And it was the shit! Unfortunately Capcom seems to be scaling back on Generations influence...

MEATS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS.
It's been a long 8 years but we've finally arrived. This series can now spread its wings on the powerful hardware it deserves and do fantastically new and interesting things with destructible environments and monsters.

I get why they made the trailer the way it was, but I still think it was a mistake to show the game off like that. I don't know who that trailer was for. It showed lots of stealth, running, use of elaborate environmental traps, and very little combat. It might have done a good job at showing what was new, and made the game look very cinematic. For newcomers, it might have misrepresented the game a bit. For veterans, it almost went out of its way to omit core MH elements, and just played into the hands of those dishonest/misrepresentative rumours. Not only that, but my own gut reaction to the trailer was "if the game doesn't force me to run and use traps, I'm not going to do any of this even once". Running towards the camera is for Indiana Jones and Crash Bandicoot, not for boys and girls whose weapons weigh more than they themselves do.
Either way, this short demo was a way better representation of this game for old and new players alike, and looked great. This is unquestionably the next generation of the franchise.

So it looked like the Rathalos only did the equivalent of 10 charged hits in a weak point from the GS (I saw one swing do 126, Rath did 1088) with his giant slam. That's good, the effort involved in baiting a monster fight seemed equivalent to the damage it put out.
I only play MH1 back on this day because i am true MH fan! This casüls started on 3ds or psp have nothing on me!
but funnsies aside yeah i am sad that they are dialing it so back down, especially stuff like prowler would be a good thing for newcomers
Also sad that underwater combat is not making a comback, yeah it was pretty shit in 3 but they had enough time to balance and polish it to make it work, would fit especially well in MHW
:lol: I've put hundreds of hours into Tri and 4 but okay.
Nevermind the lackluster new mechanics like fireflies and stealth, I didn't see the character in the demo pause once. Not to sharpen, chug a potion, gather. I saw one or two careful dodges in the beginning of the Rathalos fight but it seemed that otherwise it was a bunch of running around the environment and managing to get free hits in because of this and that. Nothing like the calculated gameplay I expect from MH.
I guess maybe generic action was a bad phrase to use. It feels like a bastardization. Maybe a good example would be Dark Souls 1 -> 3 where a ton of the weight and heft was lost and it really affected the experience for me, leaving the latter a shell of the former (still enjoyable, as I expect this will be, but not the same).
I haven't played X/Generations so your point is moot to me.
Honestly I felt Generations was a step too far. I liked some of the styles, but it made things too easy. I'm glad they're scaling back for MHW.

Since this is on consoles and PC now, I really hope they just do DLC instead of a full fledged game that is mostly the same as the previous one. This would be one of the few games I would happily buy DLC for.
Yeah underwater combat needs redemption from Tri's shit implementation, especially since they added back swimming. Baby steps though
Yup.
To me, the strength in these games lie in the ability to adapt with a rigid moveset. I don't want capcom to focus on more moves for the player, but they should focus on more moves for the monsters.
seems like you only played from 3 to 4 really so there is more moot then x
pretty bold to claim what looks like monster hunter then but

If you were a true Scotsman and had been playing since the PS2, you might be a bit sick of the same formula like the rest of us. No more 5 second chugging and foraging means the game can focus on new and interesting stuff in battle. Palicoes and healing hammer horns have changed the meta on healing pauses for years anyway.

Well, this just isn't true at all.
I have a feeling that the title, specifically the word 'world', points to a games-as-a-service vision, where you buy the stock game, and then continuously build out the vanilla game with DLC, both free and paid.

the detailed greyish graphical style (western appeal?) and gameplay seem a bit at odds with like the sword just kind of clipping into the tail and some kinda janky interactions
As a die-hard MH fan i can confidently state that you are talking shit.

I think this gets the core Monster Hunter fans in the West more or less on board, but that only amounts to 1 million sales at most. Still a very long way to go to reach their 4m target, and I worry that most newcomers aren't going to have the patience to watch a 25 minute fight with one monster, let alone play it.
I loved the item wheel, the much more fluid character movement, the gorgeous graphics and animations, and the modernized gathering/item use. Damage numbers also seem like a great update.
I'm still not fond of the timer, and I think that there will still be a few tweaks related to time, max stamina depletion and sharpness before release. I don't think Capcom is any more dedicated to these features than they were to gathering animations or stationary healing, they just haven't gotten enough feedback from press/focus testers to decide if they're worth keeping yet.
Bottom line for me: This looks like a truly excellent MH game, but I'm still nowhere near convinced that MH can be successful in the West without a few more changes to the meter management and tedium JP players are accustomed to.

As someone who's played a ton of MH, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. One thing I've noticed though that I think is a bit funny is that it seems like they've actually increased the amount a monster will run away, probably to keep the amount of interactables and natural "traps" in the environment high. If that bothered you a lot in the older versions, chasing one of the flying monster types through these environments is going to be absolute hell lol
I don't think underwater is inherently bad but my problem was that it made certain weapons obnoxious to play. Hammering underwater SUCKS. At least HBG returned to its full glory in 3U and I could just pierce shot everything to death in the water. Underwater gunning Plesioths in 2 minutes flat was very cathartic.
If they can't make it fun for everyone then it should stay gone. But it did alter the feel and atmosphere of environments in its own way that I liked. Tri just felt like a world I wanted to live in.

looks amazing - gonna be a lot of fun
that said considering how anthem is sort of similarish - I wish the graphics was a tad better.

Disagree with the bolded. Hammering Gobul and Lagi underwater were some of my favorite experiences in Tri.
Underwater superpound so good.
