Sounds solid in that category but I do hope there's more. Also, maybe because I'm just cynical, but all of these buildings with no loading doesn't give me hope about the insides of them being diverse. Sounds almost too good to be true.
One thing I saw in the video was you can throw guards. That alone has the potential for some amazing minigames.
I hear you, lol. I was just talking about how damn dark it gets period. You have to keep oil handy for that lantern as well. But having a Magic Archer in your party with Flare Arrow will end up being a godsend, I imagine.

This game looks a lot like what I thought White Knight Chronicles was going to be, both visually and in play, when the TGS 06 trailer showed. Good times.

After they first revealed the game, Capcom insisted that this is not an RPG. The official Japanese site lists the genre as Open World Action. I think one downfall for this game would be people thinking it'll be more like the Skyrim sort of games. So I'm going in only expecting a nice world to explore with good combat and monsters but not many interactive options with other townsmen nor other RPG elements.
Co-op was never in the game in the first place...
Wow, that actually looks pretty good.
I had zero interest in it before, but this almost puts me on the fence.
Now, granted, previous loss of interest was due to lack of co-op, so the video doesn't solve that. It's really a shame, since previous MT Framework games I've played in co-op have all had excellent netcode, and the pawn system would make replacement with 2p co-op a no-brainer balance-wise. Maybe it has to do with how the netcode wouldn't hold well in open-world or something.
Now, I'll jump on this as soon as they unleash co-op DLC. Otherwise, I might wait for a Steam sale of the eventual PC version.
I'll admit the pawn system does seem pretty cool. But interesting online elements are no substitute for proper co-op.

We were hearing early on that there would be no leveling up or anything like that - but in that same thread it was contradicted and now we see job classes, levels, equipments, stores, NPCs, etc. Sure looks like a RPG to me.
Wow, OP. You were beyond right. I did need to see that footage, this game went from "Hah! fuck that game" to immediate day one must buy. I love the sense of real danger like Dark Souls (especially once it gets dark) combined with the open world and some fun ass abilities like levitate and tossing guards off the roof. Looks amazinggggg. Wow.

I want to get it but the whole resident evil demo thing soured me, I'll wait. I really wanted to support this game but capcom is one of my least favorite publishers.
I guess we will just have to see, but I personally could not be happier with the details we have seen so far.
Yeah, heh, I'm surprised its so dark. I think that's what I'll do is keep a mage pawn flare guy.

Completely different genres and I don't think that's a big deal. The important thing is for the game to review well so that it gets more exposure, and also positive word of mouth. I don't think Capcom is doing a good job with promoting this game considering many people haven't even heard of it.

It could pretty much be the next gen monster hunter many have been craving. Such a missed opportunity...
Lets face it, we all know multiplayer is on the disc and Capcom is going to charge 10-15 bucks for a 100kb unlock key. See RE5 Vesus.

I absolutely love the idea of setting out from an inn early in the morning not because of some arbitrary rule in a quest to be somewhere at a certain time, but because I genuinely want to get there and back during daylight to avoid having to traverse a very dangeous and frightening world in real darkness.

Well said. But also, you have the option to go out and fight monsters at night, they probably have better rewards and experience too. So it's a nice risk.

Is the game supposed to be that dark or is that just a bad capture card?
Nothing wrong with focusing on a grand singleplayer experience.
They can always re-use assets for a next-gen MH.
It's supposed to be dark, hence a use for the light spell.
Seems like you really need to prepare for that too. Lots of torches or bring a mage with a light spell, the guy couldn't see 2 feet in front of him in the video. It's like preparing for a real life quest!

i hope this is the case. i couldn't enjoy a single RPG after dark souls. there is a huge hole in my life.
After watching these clips, I've reached MAX HYPE levels!!
The more I see and read about this game, the more I become excited about it!
This Game now is my most anticipated game the year! I'm so hyped for it even more than I'm for Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, or AC 3! and that is unbelievable coming from its first reveal!

What I took from that vid is to stay on the fucking path, because every where else is super dangerous
Looks awesome and will definitely check it out once the price drops (my policy is to always by games at 20 or less). Hopefully Bethesda takes some notes because the combat in this game actually looks fun

Finding out it has a job leveling system is what won me over.

Yeah you are.
So ANYWAY, it's a shame Capcom has no idea on how to promote this game. Even their translator that does interviews for this doesn't really know what the fuck he's doing, "umm, pawns...you can ...ummm, share them...and umm...they learn stuff..ummmmm."

Well I was talking more about the part in the city where it was morning, yet extremely dark.

I keep seeing gameplay for this game and thinking "OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN WITH MY FRIENDS"
Then I remember it's singleplayer only. Come on this game is screaming co-op, instead we get AI buddies running around with us.

From what I played at last year's PAX, it was extremely clunky and had terrible framerate issues. It was a beta build though probably from that year's E3 so it could have improved significantly since then.
Plus I don't know how well Capcom is promoting this. At Pax it was literally one little kiosk that was demoing it.

Not very impressed, but they did say in the videos that it's more fun to play than it is to watch.
Nope.
My main concerns:
1. Just how varied are the enemies?
2. How much loot is there?
3. Just how difficult is the game? The guy made it seem difficult, but after playing Dark Souls, I'd like for this game to be at least somewhat close to it.

It's somewhat ugly, but the scale of the huge monsters and environment is nice.
I think this will definitely get a PC version; it's just a matter of "when"Was hoping for footage from the PC version.
really looking forward to this otherwise, totally looks like my kind of game.This is not RPG. at least according to Capcom
and it will be on disc, and the eventual defence force will defend it and say you only have a license to the game and that you don't own it and call you a dirty pirate for then trying to access said DLC.
