You monster...
Nothing official on that front yet, but they've never done G-rank with the initial release of a new gen.
That's what I fear, though I suppose they can release g rank as dlc. Could be better than buying another game.

lmaoooo
I can't believe they made a Honduran White Bat wyvern.
wtf it's real? :O

Agreed
I have no doubt.
They'll have to, selling the added content as a new full priced release won't fly in the west.

They could probably charge 20-30 bucks for it if it is indeed a true up G-Rank.
you are a terrible person...
It already almost has tri's roster count and there is still 4 months till release.
We are getting a lot more monsters lol.
Edit: to clarify, monster hunter PR usually ramps up the most the last 2-3 months before release. Even then, they hide 5-10 monsters
I think it depends on how they'll handle the monster rollout in general, and if they're going to go the extra mile to do armor models for the G-rank monsters. They've already cut their workload in half with getting rid of Gunner armors, so it remains to be seen if that was to make G-rank armor development much more focused.
I expect it to be DLC for existing owners with a Monster Hunter World Ultimate release for people that haven't bought the game.
Wouldn't be too hard considering the hardware limitations the series has suffered during the years

This is what I'm hoping for.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Nah that's too obvious for Capcom I'm expecting Capcom to treat this game as a plataform rather than a straight up game and I'm ecpecting Hunting Season style packs just like in Frontier that will cost $10 each until we get to the 1 or 2 year Anniversary and THAN they do a G Rank Pack for $40.
I'm wondering if they'll also go the smaller DLC route as well and release 3-5 monsters with their respective armors, weapons and hunts for like 5 bucks everyone once in a while. On top of the G rank expansion, this could preserve the attention of western gamers who tend to move on quickly

I like it when the monsters look organic like this, and not like MHXX one.
Also, its rage mode can have some surprises, like Gore Magala.
Indeed. At least I have solid dates now to give them for time off. Instead of just "hey, I need to take Early 2018 off". That was met with some pushback.

The MH community in general is always eager to play together, and GAF is no exception in that regard.
I don't know if I would call the new flagship organic looking. It looks like a demon you would see in something like Darksiders.
Well, the new flaship monster kinda reminds me of Daimon from Dark Arisen rotfl
It feels a bit out place imo , even for MH standards, but still cool.
The only normal looking elder dragons are Fatalis and Kushala Daora. All of the other ones have had their own thing going on otherwise, and this one isn't rocking the boat too much on that front.
I mean, this is what we've had to work with for that genus thus far:
-massive, wingless quadrupeds
-a chameleon with wings
-most of a manticore
-a goddamned lightning unicorn
-sand whales
-a giant dragon more or less made of tar
-serpents thousands of feet long
-whatever the hell Nakarkos is
It really does, not that that's bad necessarily. That said it doesn't look anymore organic or natural than Glavenous or most other monsters really.
As for the trailer, it looks good. I really appreciated the story in 4U, it made offline much more fun for me (and also helped my fiance get into the series), so I'm glad to see a similar emphasis going on here. Keeping my hype in check though, there's some big things I still don't care for. A demo won't alleviate any of them, but I hope we get one.

Nakarkos is pretty much your bog standard kraken, he's just cosplaying a two headed dragon.

That area with the puff bat is holy shit gorgeous.
Think about how insane that sounds to say out loud.
It can probably keep its framerate, too. Monster Hunter Online is not deeply optimized, at least the version of the game I'm currently playing with some English translation.
I imagine the PC version of World will keep a constant 60fps better than MHO. And that's not even getting into the texture pop in that's everywhere in MHO when talking to characters...
This release date is also the reason we ain't getting XX soonish, assuming that's coming. Three games released from September (Stories) to January (World) is too much, especially as two of those potential games (XX and World) are aiming for the same core base.
Nakarkos is a cuttlefish.
You're not getting those numbers and this is me confirming it to you, any mod can contact me about this.

Do you have solid numbers?
OK, I'll settle for a cuttlekraken that cosplays as a two-headed dragon. That doesn't sound any less insane, but it is what it is.
Oh, I forgot a big one:
-the disembodied head of Cthulu

This is what I don't understand,
Capcom turned around did a simulataneous release very early, but couldn't muster the strength to give Switch owners in America, MH XX, what the fuck Capcom, like I'll buy this luckily I do have a PS4 as well, but it isn't beyond the possibility for them, yet for years now they treated America like the red headed stepchild and made us wait for months if not a year for our version and suddenly they found the gumption to do it all in one go.

Man that release date is VERY early! Mario in October, Xenoblade in December, Monster Hunter in January let's go!!! Well, kinda hoping the PC version comes out not too much later after the console versions so I don't have to buy it twice.

Seemed like the Nerogigante was perched on top of the large elder dragon thing and flew off when it died.
Where would the numbers put it? Closer to Portable 3rd?
Not gonna risk exact numbers (I don't know these either), but it's closer to Tri numbers.
Nope, just know someone.

Since MHW is on MT Framework, expect the PC version to be optimized perfectly and be able to run the game in 4K/60fps on a GTX 970
Almost looked like it came out of that giant rock dragon creature.
