But if this game is planned for early next year shouldn't we be getting English trailers any day now?

That's already the case since E3, you can check the official Monster Hunter channel here. The hype is insane in the comments. PlayStation US/EU is also very active to relay MH World videos.

Also, from Gematsu

Monster Hunter: World will be playable at the Sony Interactive Entertainment booth at Gamescom 2017 from August 22 to 26, as well as at PAX West 2017 from September 1 to 4, and Tokyo Game Show 2017 from September 21 to 24.

 

[MattAces]

Suddenly, I think I'm fine with not getting XX english.

Last patch of trailers we got the English version a day or so later.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Awesome video to wake up too, love this guy!

 

[Vuze]

Looks absolutely amazing. Love the new desert area.

 

[JoeNut]

still can't decide if this is a game for me, looks very button bashy and the trailer showcasing the weapons just made the impact on the monsters look incredibly samey, the weapons themselves look cool but they seemed completely without impact

 

[Mengetsu]

Those weapon trees

 

[Defuser]

4 horns quest in HD bring it on!!

 

[Sayad]

Awesome video to wake up too, love this guy!

I have an idea guys, scales AND feathers!

 

[Qurupeke]

Those weapon trees

Wow, so you can check weapon trees in game now? That's what I call a QoL change.

Monster Hunter is the complete opposite of button mashy.

I bet he throws stuff at you all the time. Haha. Funny if he picks up your Palico.

 

[Spiritwalker]

This is the first time I've truly been interested in a MH game. Looks incredible.

 

[Delio]

Those weapon trees

I do like this. Showing me the progression.

That's good, really good then! Man those creatures look great in terms of animation and details.

With how many players in one team can this be played?

 

[GasProblem]

Hopefully they change how Urgent quests work. Sucked that you had the be the one who posted it to have it be completed. I'd join an urgent quest I was on, helped the other person in the hope he'd help mine if I posted it, but most of the time people just left

It's easier to mash in a Souls game than it is in an MH game, you don't even have a lock on in MH!

4 players max.

LOL you try to button mash and see what will happen. You will never beat the tutorial mission if you button mash.

 

[Kazuhira]

This game is coming home day 1,so fucking awesome.

 

[SpiceMelange]

Awesome video to wake up too, love this guy!

Well hello there MH5's qurupeco I love the comical low level monsters.

That mud plesioth recking Barroth

 

[MattXIII]

Yup gimme! My first MH game and I can't wait

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Looks awesome! I hope they'll announce a specific release date soon

 

[JimPanzer]

In my veins.

 

[Sayad]

Arekkz video(that was fast lol):

[Mistouze]

This trailer delivers!

Diablos is going to fuck some new players up! Good to see Barroth coming back, loved that dude in MH3U. I need Zinogre and Nargacuga too but the new monsters look pretty dope so far.

Hmm, i can't find any sort of trailer where it shows how you actually do the battles, how does the combat work then?

 

[Kinsei]

It's all about timing and finding the right openings. Once the monster is open to attack you need to choose what you do carefully because animations take a while to play out and you can't dodge cancel your moves.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Still not sure if I'm going to grab it on PC (which is coming out god knows when), or wait for a handheld MH game. I can't imagine that I'll spend much time playing on PC (at least compared to my time with the PSP/Vita/3DS games) and with the lack of x-console play, I doubt I'll be able to play with my friends.

As far as the video goes I'm glad Barroth is coming back and Diablos is kinda cool too. Don't know how to feel about the tease at the end. Didn't really seem that interesting to me, but maybe my mind will change when we see it in action.

 

[SpiceMelange]

Hmm, i can't find any sort of trailer where it shows how you actually do the battles, how does the combat work then?

The combat is like a fighting game. You carefully position yourself and use the right attacks to punish moves of the monsters without overextending yourself and aiming for the weak spots. It's completely the opposite of button mashy

 

[AzureFlame]

My god that was beautiful T_T.

 

[raven777]

 

[DrROBschiz]

Woooooooww what a trailer!!


I fucking love fridays! I teared up a bit when that MH theme started building up!

Capcom you got me by the balls here!

 

[Raide]

Hmm, i can't find any sort of trailer where it shows how you actually do the battles, how does the combat work then?

Hmm.. World is doing things a little differently due to increased mobility compared to older MH titles. In essence, weapons have a weight to them, so you have to make deliberate moves and positioning to make sure you connect. More for hammers and massive big swords.

It's a game built around progression and normally when you hit a wall, it's your gear that stopping you or the fact some of your fundamentals, combat wise, are lacking.


Watch some of the previous hunt footage for a small idea of how combat will work.

 

[Mistouze]

Hmm, i can't find any sort of trailer where it shows how you actually do the battles, how does the combat work then?

Gaijinhunter's weapon tutorials for the 3DS games might give you a good idea how the combat works in World and most weapon seem to keep most of their movesets over from the portable games anyway.

I'm guessing you talked about mashy combat because of the dual blades animations, since the weapon has a tendency to have an animation with several hits for only one button input.

[pronk420]

Damn it Plesioth. Stick to the shitty underwater sections in 3.

 

[Laughing Banana]

So beautiful...

This is gonna be my first really serious foray to Monster Hunter, can't wait...

 

[BakedTanooki]

That looks absolutely incredible. Damn.

 

[Mephala]

Is that a new Chameleos? I hated that evasive thieving asshole in 2nd Gen.

 

[Raide]

Looking forward to seeing if MHGaf embraces World and welcome in all the new hunters. I want to do some Mixer stuff when it comes out on 1X, so if any new hunters want to jump in, it would be a great laugh.

 

[Ravelle]

Awesome video to wake up too, love this guy!

A fine addition to the chicken family.

 

[Delio]

I'd like to interact with MHGaf for this generation. I've been playing the games with other friends and never with gaf so it will be fun.

 

[Primethius]

The world just looks so much more alive, it's insane!

And when the theme kicks in... oh my.

 

[Kinsei]

That looks so good.

I never thought they'd make a new monster using Khezu as a base. That's totally Khezu's body shape, walk cycle, and the tongue attack is a reskin of Khezu's neck stretch.

 

[Qvoth]

That looks so good.

oh god you're right
been so long since i've played mh

 

[FalsettoVibe]

That looks really good.

 

[Mupod]

that's a big fuckin Barroth. Mud-Plesioth hopefully doesn't mean regular Plesioth. Kut-ku/Chameleos hybrid is maybe a chance for them to take the Chameleos concept and make a monster that's fun to fight. Also someone please stop Kut-Kus from crossbreeding with everything, Garuga was enough.

The bird-looking drome:

But yeah, looking forward to watching newcomers to the series meet a Diablos for the first time.

edit: oh god yeah that's Khezu's body type and walk, not Kut-Ku.

 

[hans_castorp]

Looks like Khezu and Chamy had a crazy night together.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

OH MA GAD it looks so amazinggg. HD Monster Hunter is truely a thing of beauty.
