And I just got Monster Hunter 4 for 3DS.

Oh well, probably got time to play until this releases in the west.

 

[ramyeon]

So from the footage on the direct, this seems to take assets (Maps, villages etc) from a bunch of past MonHun games. Saw Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd villages there I think. As well as maps from 4/4U.

Looks like the combat is way more flashy and a bit faster. Not sure how I feel about that.

You will definitely have more than enough time.

 

[dragonlife]

Holy shit, the footage they showed!

it looked awesome ;_;

IF it will be released in the west, Capcom gonna cap

 

[Yrael]

Gahhhh please don't take forever to come to the west.

I think the second one isn't?

Pretty sure that's the ancestral steppe.

 

[redcrayon]

People are gonna confuse this with MH10 lol

It worked alright with Megaman and there's about 2 billion of them

 

[Varjet]

Devil May Hunt?

 

[Poyunch]

So confused. I wonder if this is just a regular monster hunter with flashy moves. How will game progression be handled!?

[antonz]

Would imagine this is their experimentation game to see if different combat styles etc will work going into a new mainline

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yeah its really weird - maybe they think because its MH they dont really need to sell it on the graphics via screenshots when they have trailers and demos anyway....but is still shocking to see such bad PR shots on a mayor release - even if its 3DS.

btw. I expect this game to benefit even great from the n3DS than 4G did. You probably will want to upgrade if you still in the OG model.

lo and behold, the trailer in the direct did the games visuals much more justice than those awful screenshots xD Looks fantastic.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Looks like they got to reuse a ton of past assets and just added more action combat.

I still want to play it.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Heh yeah - as expected, thats probably why they dont care about screens in this youtube era.

MH4G sold +1 million in the west iirc. No way MHX wont be released here - Nintendo will bring it over no matter what Capcom thinks lol.

 

[Oregano]

I thought this looked pretty damn great in the Direct.

The gameplay looks good but but I wouldn't say the game does.

 

[Qurupeke]

For a spin off, it looks great and the idea is good. I guess it will miss some elements from the main series. Maybe no crafting?

Yeah I was kinda taken aback with the Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd stuff being thrown in there.

But who am I kidding? If it's MonHun I'm keen.

 

[omg_mjd]

Sweet. Guess I can skip MH4U then?

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

If tonfas are in... Might import.

 

[Abdiel]

It sounds like they're taking aspects of Toukiden into their existing MH formula. Heh. Interesting.

 

[Kysen]

Day 1 import

 

[tonyh24613]

I see kirby's final smash.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This is looking like it could be extremely substantial for a 'spin off'. Looks like there are a fair few weapon types, more than the '4 play styles' suggested. Also, lots of new monsters, a whole new village + a few of the older villages.

I'm really curious to see how deep the hunting mechanics go in this, in terms of drops and material farming. Looks like it could be a great stop gap between MH4 and the inevitable MH5 to me.

 

[BlueSilver]

... I want it. It looks great.

Ha.

 

[spiritfox]

What.

What.

It's mh: frontier without microtransactions and online-only.

 

[MLH]

Sweet. Guess I can skip MH4U then?

No, this is a different game. I wouldn't even skip 3U, there is enough unique content/ monsters/ areas in each game to make it worth playing.

 

[Kouriozan]

Will be interesting to see if the "classic" MH players will buy this.
Anyway, I'm really interested.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yep, I think MH4 has finally convinced Capcom that this series has a following outside of Japan. We'll get X for sure and probably Stories as well. 2016 is gonna' rock.

 

[kadotsu]

It is weird that there was no co-op in the trailer.

No crafting in a MonHun would be instant incentive for me not to buy it tbh. I doubt they're going to stray that far from the main formula for this.

 

[Santiako]

That looks unbelievably good.

 

[GasProblem]

Those new moves look awesome. It's going to be a 2016 release in the west so still plenty of time to play MH4U.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Put that in the OP instead of those awful screenshots.

 

[sixteen-bit]

NA release 2017?

 

[ramyeon]

It is weird that there was no co-op in the trailer.

Not really, a lot of Monster Hunter trailers don't specifically show off co-op.

 

[Thoraxes]

 

[GWX]

Wow, best looking game on the platform. I'm very impressed.

 

[Qurupeke]

No crafting in a MonHun would be instant incentive for me not to buy it tbh. I doubt they're going to stray that far from the main formula for this.

I hope so too, but the hunting seems the same as the main series. I don't get why this is a spin off if that's the case. Why they didn't just simply name it MH4X or something else.

 

[Oregano]

It sounds like they're taking aspects of Toukiden into their existing MH formula. Heh. Interesting.

Heh. I kind of had that same thought. Capcom must love the fact that they have the Hunting Action base on 3DS to themselves.

 

[Demoli]

Sweet. Guess I can skip MH4U then?

Apples to oranges really.

Still looks great and will still buy day 1 if brought over.

<3 <3 <3

I love the new areas already.

Trailer up on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz7Ge7SJOX8

Oh, already got posted.

Anyway, I'm really happy with what I've seen.

 

[Amalthea]

Love the new monsters. I found the ones from 4 kinda boring (both returning and new ones).

 

[deim0s]

Dem flashy finishers.

Now how disruptive they would be in MP.

 

[AzureFlame]

Looks nice but not digging the gameplay.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Looks like they got to reuse a ton of past assets and just added more action combat.

I still want to play it.

It kind of looks like it based on some of the stages.

But with all these new mechanics and monsters, I don't even care.
Bring it on, Capcom!
