Newer trailer, and I just don't see how this is visually bad. The new gaming mechanics look incredibly fun, jumping around and slicing shit I cant wait.

Just look at the ground textures, right in the beginning when the hunter is searching the nest. I love the colourful environments, but the textures for those environments look really terrible at this point. It won't stop me from buying and enjoying the game, but the 3DS has put out prettier games.

True, a closeup of a tiny area that is supposed to represent a dung pile does look pretty bad but if you look at the rest of areas as a whole it's really nice. When they show the full environments, it has this painting like quality which I find very appealing to the eye. The 3ds has had prettier games though not ones to this scale, plus the animations are fantastic which I find more important than certain ground textures.

I was playing MHP3 yesterday and jesus this series has the best battle engine of any action game. the weight of the weapons, lack of lock-on all help to make it extremely satisfying when you land hits specially when using heavy weapons.

cannot wait for this.
 
Brazil answered already, but:

I'm hoping there'll be at least 1 more weapon type, but I can't imagine what they'd come up with to add to those.
I don't think anyone could have imagined a bug stick that gave you reverse west mile virus. Doesn't seem like there'll be another weapon introduced, especially 6 months before release, but I really want another weapon that uses the Gunner armor.

If they did reveal another, I'd imagine it would be in the game already, just not announced yet. I had a good long think while playing 3G, and couldn't get the idea of gauntlets out of my head, even though I know they wouldn't work.

More agile than dual blades, with retractable spikes that can be covered with poison or stun bottles to wear monsters down.

Again, I know it wouldn't work, but it'd be interesting for sure, and different.

I think same sort of whip would be cool, with diffrent tips (explosive, poision etc.)
 
Somehow I missed this new trailer (or should I say these new trailers) until now, i'm really liking the faster and more erm...jumpy? combat, I'm sure there is a better descriptive word out there. The new weapon looks fun as well.

Can someone extract the background image of the black dragon seen at the top of the page here? He loads on a separate later from the here that's superimposed over him...

I didn't realize that Goa Magara was THAT awesome... God, this monster is the best. Is it an Elder Dragon or a Pseydo Wyvern?

I have to agree with this. The area where the hunter was fighting the monkey-thing looked really really bad. It reminded me of the deku tree and forest temple from OOT on the N64. The cut scenes of the town and the sand skiff looked odd too. It was almost as if they had an oil filter effect.

The monsters and hunters in the game looked fine but everything else looked like it had taken a good step back compared to Tri G.

Glad to see they brought back YKK. I hope Rajang makes it back too.
 
You know, this is cool and all, but I just cant help but feel like this series should be on ps3 or 360...oh well, wii u at least...

I watched a bit of the dev walkthrough vid the 20 minutes one, game looks incredible what gives. the lighting alone puts it above the psp titles.

This and sleep bombing are the only things that bother me with Monster Hunter.
In high tier games, it's either lance or bust. And sleepbombing just isn't that fun~
It's popular to suggest that for beginners because those weapons don't hit your teammates that much :p

But in a good party, people can adjust their combos with every weapon type based on the positioning of the monster and allies. As long as everyone is attacking, efficiency between the weapons isn't that drastic.

The dev Tigrex battle is such a troll. First he acts like a noob with the Neopteron Handler, then he goes all out demon mode with the lance :p

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Lance got to be the most powerful weapon again I reckon, you are able to charge up and down terrains now. Not to mention jumping charge attack.

Damn after seeing this i hope i wont get bored with Tri Ultimate and Soul Sacrifice...the different terrain levels really add a different level of epicness and gameplay possibilities.

I don't know if it'll be the most powerful weapon again, but he did have a much easier time on Tigrex with a lance than the pole lol. Every weapon has a jumping attack right?

I wonder how they'll handle communication in this?

定型分を使ったチャットが可能。「よろしくお願いします」「乗りを狙います」「粉塵を使います」など
しかも、進化したコミュニケーション機能はこれだけで終わらない!?続報に乞うご期待!
Anyone care to translate?

Qurupeco is better than Yan Kutku. >.< Qurupeco is god tier.

Brachidios, Jhen Mohran, Ukanlos, Diablos and Nargacuga?
Uragaan, not Ukanlos.
