Everything about MHW looks amazing. So glad they got rid of many of the annoying aspects of past MH games. Can't wait to play it on PC. Hopefully they'll support 21:9 resolutions.

lol what?!
MH4 had more than that
and this game has been in development for over 4 year on a familiar engine
Im expecting content on par with MH4 or better
You're setting yourself up for dissapointment, expect Tri levels of content.

That Switch Axe looks a lot more fun than Generations' Switch Sword with Axe-themed Bonus Features.
When's in-depth for Charge Blade and Dual Blades though?

He seems to be churning out videos super fast.. Give him time!
Yeah, that's been the basis of my math thus far. Since we've also been seeing them split reveals between old and new monsters thus, I'm expecting a pretty close ratio for old monsters to gen 5 monsters, with a slight bias to the latter (like, for the sake of argument, 19-21 in favor of new when assuming a final count of 40).
The count of large monsters won't even come close to MH4's, as I said, I can bet anything you want, I'd love to eat my words, but it won't happen.
And this one is even further, expect this to be like Tri, there's gonna be much fewer old monsters compared to newer monsters.

My guess is sub-30 with additional monsters coming as DLC/expansions later.
The odds of Capcom releasing MHW: Ultimate in 2019 are pretty high.
You can do both, though playing with people adds a lot of flavor to the game.

My favorite video so far actually is from IGN, the Barroth video. Was it actually them playing or capcom dudes presenting?
You can do both. Some people play it exclusively as a multiplayer game while others (such as myself) play it as a purely single player game.
It was someone from Capcom.
The count right now in terms of official reveals is 6-3 in favor of new, but we already know that Rathian is making it in from the armor, so that puts us at 6-4. Unlike Tri, I don't think that they're going to be going that hardcore in showing off entirely brand new species, especially since we've yet to see one among the new crowd, so I don't think it's as much a priority now as it was then. I also think they know that they can get a lot of hype from the fanbase by simply showing off an existing monster at this level of fidelity.
Yes pls.
Trust me, it's gonna be like Tri, there's going to be a lot more new than old, don't just look at what you can see now.

I feel I've seen enough now to be sold on the game. Capcom really look like they're going to deliver big time.
Well, we're officially already at the same count for returning monsters as Tri had in its entirety, so the ratio really won't be anywhere near as lopsided as you're suggesting.
Only question I really have left, like most, is DLC plans.
Personally hope to see them center the DLC around an additional area that brings different monsters, weapons, armors, etc.
So say the base game launches with 5 areas (2 of which we have seen, not including arena types), they could support it with limited time/special quests immediately post-launch, then drop a themed DLC like described above every 2-3 months.
Really curious to see how long it's supported post-launch as well.

I mean, I don't disagree with what you think is going to be the situation, there's a reason it's taken this long for them to completely overhaul the game. However, you should really be less up in peoples grills over this considering you're basing everything you say from the insider lodged in your anus.

Yeah, the dlc plans will be interesting. Are they going to go season pass style and have expansions every few months or are they going to stick to the 3DS style and have smaller themed content drops every month?
I think that expecting more than one new area total is a bit much, especially at the level of detail and interactivity that they're pushing here. The announced and expected biomes support a good variety of monsters as is, so they'll simply be shuffled into the existing lineup like they were always meant to be a part of that area.
Switch Axe looks so fun.
Alright, we'll talk at release.
MH4 only hit 50+ by bringing back a bunch of Gen 1 and 2 monsters without really adding much to them. I can't see them doing the same for World.
MH4 has, what, 51 large monsters? Around 14 of which are subspecies, so around 37 unique monsters and most of them are from previous generations, no?
They'll either pad MHW's roster like that or they'll take the Tri route and go for mostly new monsters at the cost of a lower total count.

I wonder why we still arent seeing the game with blood. They are adding it in, so maybe they just rather show off an earlier build for a while or something.

Dunno if it's been said yet but Great Jagras' drool becomes purple when he's poisoned, intead of purple bubbles over the head like previous games.
It's probably a lot easier to promote the game to various ages with blood turned off.
Maybe they know that they're going to get an M-rating (a soft one, mind you) due to the higher level graphics with the blood, but want to get the hype rolling for the game with as many people as possible? Capcom did try to go for an M-rating on the original game by increasing the size of the blood flashes in the test version I played back when Playstation Underground was a thing, as the game disc was rated as such, but they dialed it back down for the final retail release to secure a T-rating.
Anjantah as well. I can't say I like the change. It's a bit too similar to the signs of fatigue IMO.

They're gonna do DLC monsters for sure. Can't wait for the Lucent Nargacuga DLC pack.

I wonder how easy it would be to implement DLC monsters since they fight each other now and have different dominant zones and places on the food chain.
They add new areas as well?
