9 times out of 10, ps4.
Only if the series has a long history on pc will it sell better on pc, but MH has never been on pc.

New Monster Hunter World trailer shows off Wildspire Waste

9 times out of 10, ps4.
Only if the series has a long history on pc will it sell better on pc, but MH has never been on pc.
Because they wanted to show off the new features and changes like the seamless environments, not just what you already know will be in a Monster Hunter game.
I guess they were afraid of scaring away "normal people" by showing off actual Monster Hunter combat. So they decided to show nothing at all and scare off everyone.
Those weapon trees
Yup, got me too! No longer having to have my browser open while playing, is a big QI on their part.
It's funny how everything post E3 has looked way better than what they unveiled.

I haven't been following the game at all, but this trailer looks goddamn amazing. Finally a good looking MonHun on something other than Nintendo's under powered stuff. This game on PC will be a dream.
We'll be lucky if they include a free 48 hour code for either of those services. I can see Capcom working something out with Sony in Japan, given that it does sound like it's a genuine concern among fans right now, but they're not facing nearly the same hurdles in the west with how widely accepted subscriptions have been.
Well as a result I was completely disappointed by what I thought was westernization of a japanese franchise. The first thing I wanted to see from a new Monster Hunter game on a beefy hardware was how cool it could look, not outdated stealth mechanics or the seamless world that was going to be in no matter what.

It'll almost certainly adopt the "games-as-a-service" mentality that most expansion-based, online co-op games have in this generation. MH seems like a better fit for that than many other franchises that have tried it.
Yeah, but my point is that MHW is still structured like a traditional handheld MH that's meant to be played in 50 minute bursts during commutes and work breaks.

Don't hold your breath.
Hopefully this one's more fun to fight than Khezu.
They probably won't.
I just hope you're not forced to go online for high rank quests. It was really dumb back in MH3.
I doubt they're going to lock out content for solo players again, since they haven't done that since Tri.

Those weapon trees
This seems like a faux-QoL improvement.
Yes, you can see how the trees branch and how far down they go now, but you still might not be able to see the stats and abilities of the ??? weapons until you craft them. If that's the case, it still isn't that useful for picking the best path.

Still better than going down a path that ends mid game and having to re-farm some crappy materials to go down another path.
The games since tri are all mobile ones and have local co-op tho.
I just can't see them going back to the old PS2 model for content. I wouldn't doubt that end-game content would be significantly harder for a solo player, even with Palicos, but since they've been making a big deal about being able to call for help at will, I don't think there's any reason why they would lock anything these days.

It won't outsell it on PC but there should be a very healthy base of players on there because of performance. MT Framework is butter on PC.
As someone who has had to Kiranico a lot, no, it's not a "faux-QoL improvement". Just knowing what branches exist and how far they go helps immensely.
The hub town trailer showed that online stuff are available from the same place as the regular village quests. Hopefully that's an indication that there won't be things locked behind online access.
Maybe you buy books to be able to see farther down unexplored branches

Hope so, eyeing the PC version since I don't intend to re-sub to PS+ after it expires.
Oh god no. The Lavasioth is more pleasant to hunt against.
I'm actually wondering if it might be online only. Having a game on PC where the characters are stored locally is practically asking for rampant cheating.
It's already been confirmed to be playable offline. I think the only thing that hasn't been mentioned is if it's possible to do LAN parties.
So, there is a time limit to the quests. I thought they had removed it.

Nope. The E3 demo build had a time limit of 25 minutes. This current build's time limit is 50 minutes.

They actually distinctly show weapon trees in game now? Glad they finally added it! Trailer was sick. The new area looks amazing and loved watching the weapons kick all kinds of ass! Really looking forward to this game!

I think the only thing they removed was getting warped back to town at the end of a quest. Now you can go to your guildie and keep taking on more or just go free hunt.
I don't think it has ever been done before for any game (discount), but some games did include some short trial like 1 or 2 weeks. However, you can find a sub for cheap during Christmas or BF so then you can redeem it when the game comes out.

Yeah also PS4 confirmed global servers and MH World is PS4 exclusive in places like Japan
PS4 user-base for this game gonna be huge!
Doubt it, Capcom is probably done with cross play that require running their own servers for a while after SFV.
I'm pretty sure that Capcom completely shot down crossplay entirely, so not even PC<->PS4 is looking to be happening.
It's a worldwide simultaneous release next spring.

That sausage looked good. Also, can't wait!
Damn that's disappointing to hear. I'm not going to be able to buy a new gaming PC for a while and have some friends who only game on the PC and love MH. Oh well maybe I can finally convince them to pick up some PS4's during the holiday sales.

Oh, that's good, but I wonder what they plan to do about that issue all the same.
I think that's a big reason why it's not launching alongside the PS4/XB1 versions. That, and probably wanting to stave off data miners for as long as possible so they can have all content update announcements to themselves.
