Trailer was a total snoozer IMO. Everyone gets so excited by tech but the art design is bland, the environments look like MH2, the music was bad and the trailer was poorly cut. This looks like Capcom in name only - $100 says the real MH team wants nothing to do with this, just like Frontier.

Yup. Also, I don't think Capcom would collaborate with Tencent if this were something the company was taking very seriously. Would that be an accurate assessment?

 

[Mazzo]

Will this be like Monster Hunter but with a monthly fee and 10x the walking?

 

[Tomat]

Kut-Ku mounts for $29.99 man, get on that shit

 

[Anteater]

Where does it say it's an mmo?

The article says it has similar mission structure from the series, but with weather and time changes within the mission.

oh I guess there are bigger hunts that requires "a minimum of 24 players".

 

[Erethian]

They're taking it seriously in the sense that this is probably a good way to get Monster Hunter into the Chinese market.

 

[Charoncaori]

This is crazy. I knew it was coming from the other thread, but it's still hard to swallow. I'd be really surprised if they can get the combat polished and working well.

 

[Soriku]

Yeaaaah...no thanks.

Would much much rather have a MH game from the actual MH team made for the ground up for PS4 than some outsourced online game.

 

[Xanathus]

If it's targeting the China market, it most likely will be F2P with bonuses and cosmetic items you can buy with real money. I imagine the Felyne Kitchen equivalent would be monetized since it gives bonuses that are typically sold for real money in other F2P games. 50 cents for a health bar bonus for one mission?

that would suck

 

[Devilgunman]

Goddamnit look so hot!!

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

It's to my understanding that this game is being developed directly by Tencent, not Capcom.

Should probably expect this to stay in China.

Would rather play a game developed by the MH team to be honest.

 

[RyoonZ]

I don't like Monster Hunter but this I want to play.

1、Achieved with CryEngine3

2、Original gameplay with new monsters, old monsters come from 1 to 3 .

3、Can drive vehicles(there are water motors in the end of Promotional video)

4、Environment elements can be destroyed or be used as monster’s weapon to deal with hunters.

Not included in video but in their product description

5、the game world will be effected by weather, time and environments

6、Hunter’s weapon can leave scars on monsters, not only preinstall body parts break.

7、There are active skills in game, will not be used frequently but will play a important role in fight. Hunters can excute team combo skills.

8、New world ("unknown continent") with villages and cities

 

[zoukka]

I don't like Monster Hunter but this I want to play.

Why?

 

[Arla]

Why?

It's in HD!!!!

 

[Metalmurphy]

This changes everything!

 

[Parfait]

I'll totally give this a shot if it comes to the west. I've been waiting for a monhun on a system I actually own/plan to own, hopefully it won't be crap but that outsourcing is scary...

 

[Wolf Akela]

So Kotaku made a fool of GAF? Not Vita as first reported though, but samey screens.

 

[Amalthea]

I hope Killer Beaver will be the cover monster.

 

[Devilgunman]

So Kotaku made a fool of GAF? Not Vita as first reported though, but samey screens.

So it was a true leak of this game, but still not on the Vita as they claimed though.

 

[Wolf Akela]

So it was a true leak of this game, but still not on the Vita as they claimed though.

The Fraps logo was spotted in one of the screens so it kinda pointed to a PC release. I guess some dev decided to put screenshots on his Vita.

 

[Krabboss]

Probably going to be garbage and never going to get translated, but I'm still interested. Music in the trailer sucked, though. They goofed up the theme song a little bit. And that's a hard song to goof up.

 

[Card Boy]

This better get translated in English.

*shakes fist*

 

[Qvoth]

http://mho.qq.com/main.shtml
that's the official site

translating somethings from http://games.qq.com/a/20130418/000160.htm

time of day system, where as time goes by the lighting changes
playable with gamepad,says even with keyboard and mouse you'll still be able to play well
weather changes, some monsters will have different skill sets depending on the weather
sword and shield has a new jumping slash move
greatsword has a new horizontal slash, it's mainly for monster parts that are very tough/hard, maybe has low chance of the sword bouncing
longsword has 2 staged circular slash, wastes a lot of stamina
special move system
after meeting some battle requirements, you can unleash this move
light bowgun's special move is insta-paralyse shot, you fire a shot that sticks on the enemy, and melee attacks needed to detonate the shot for it to activate
longsword's is a jumping downward stab move, but the article says the sword stabs the ground, so maybe there's some aoe effect?
will have battles on transport vehicles, mentions water battles and air battles (battle on airship perhaps?)
unlike MH frontier, this game will have a city/ main hub?
will have plenty of monsters, both from the old and new series, even those from MH frontier
24 player required monster, 大岩龙 which basically means big rock dragon

after reading the link from OP again, there's a line that says "to let the millions of chinese hunters experience the hunting world in an internet game".... so maybe it's meant to be chinese only... really really really hope that's not the case ; ;
i don't even mind not localizing the game since i understand chinese, i just hope there's no IP block

 

[Glass Rebel]

I'm sure this will be a good replacement for the Monster Hunter fans who don't want to play 3U and 4 because of reasons.

 

[Fafalada]

.

 

[Karsticles]

light bowgun's special move is insta-paralyse shot

Wat.

 

[Raide]

Funny to see much better graphics but still those tell-tale combat styles. I guess they have to keep some nods in there to Monster Hunter so fans don't say "It should be called something else!"

If it appears on EU shores, I will give it a shot. Looks like fun, especially with all the new additions but clearly still MH.

 

[54-46!]

For a moment there I was really excited, but then it dawned on me.. this is an MMO made for a Chinese audience right? not a proper Monster Hunter game?

 

[Anteater]

Wat.

Some special moves require charging and the paralyze shot doesn't explode instantly as far as I know, the shot will stay on the monster and someone will need to detonate it by attacking it.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Looks pretty cool, but pity it is an MMO. A bit rough visually considering it is on PC though.

 

[Qvoth]

Requires charging and it doesn't explode instantly as far as I know, the shot will stay on the monster and someone will need to detonate it by attacking it.

Well we don't know about charging, it just says to unleash special moves you need to fulfill some battle requirements

 

[Soriku]

Wat.

4x bowgunners GG.

 

[LuuKyK]

Looks better, has faster attack animations and doesnt seem to be bore inducing as the other MHs, so at least it has some good things going for it.

Spoiler

imo

Still not enough for me to play it though.

 

[Anteater]

Well we don't know about charging, it just says to unleash special moves you need to fulfill some battle requirements

I thought it says it requires "readying" time and teamworks in the article, but you're probably right

 

[Herb Alpert]

I don't like Monster Hunter but this I want to play.

but you won't like it...

 

[ramyeon]

Trailer really doesn't do much for me, I don't know why. And I was impressed by videos of MH3UHD.

 

[Protocol7]

Not really reassured a chinese company is taking care of this, it smells like a bad copy/paste of a really bad copy/paste... Doesn't even feel like it's made with Cryengine for certain aspects... it lacks class... "savoir faire"... inspiration...

I just hope this gives Capcom interest into moving MH to a new engine for example, I was trying to imagine what MH would be like with the one they showed at the PS4 reveal for example. Would be freaking sweet don't you think?

 

[Raide]

but you won't like it...

I dunno. Maybe the increased combat speed, the ability to chain attacks together, variety in combat conditions and more players might be the things people want. It might get them to buy Tri-U or MH4 just to see what all the fuss is about.

I like the idea and I have no issues with the MMO side but it still does not quite feel like Capcom version.

 

[Qvoth]

i'll edit the part with the light bowgun's special move to make it clearer

 

[Copenap]

Hm, can't wait to get more information. To be honest I would prefer just a regular MH5 for the big consoles though, but maybe this will become something like that in the end.

 

[luffeN]

And I thought GT hiring Wario64 came out of nowhere.

What is this about?

Edit: Found it!

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Holy shit this is the greatest thing ever! The next greatest thing would be when they announce it will release in the west as beta in July!!!! <3

My god PC games will kill me this year! This and dota2? .... PC gaming heaven.

 

[Qvoth]

for all we know it might never release in the west lol
and i think OP should link the official site and quote my translations on the OP, just to add the info

 

[SparkTR]

for all we know it might never release in the west lol

I doubt it will, at least going by previous examples of Japanese PC games made for the Chinese market. Hell, they released Dynasty Warriors 7 there on Steam and yet no western release.

 

[enzo_gt]

Holy smokes, a Monster Hunter game that doesn't look ancient graphically!

 

[Xane]

Hope this gets localized.
Too bad it's in Chinese and not Japanese, I'd be able to read some of it at least.

 

[Alexios]

Raid hunts... talk about missing the point. Frontier had them too, I think.

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks good, I fear it won't come here until 2020 (if at all).

 

[superpickleman]

Graphically it looks nice. The actual gameplay part seemed really off though.
