Winter 2015 in Japan

Watch the trailer

Screenshots

Impressions via Adam Evanko

Built on 4G engine looks like the flashy action of MHF in the main series looks amazing

Unbelievable new super actions for all weapons much more than just a few new moves

Focus on the hunter and doing flashy and cool action

Concept is taking the action and making it stkish and varied enough thy everyone can find their own unique style

So they are bolstering the actions in both variation and number

They are saying this will be much mire technical and has lots of style

Classes now have special attacks tha you can activate as an accent to the action

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Oh god Capcom PLEASE localize this!!!!!

 

[Zalman]

Niiice

 

[YianGaruga]

Japanese gaming industry is saved

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Welp now Capcom MH Event + Nintendo Direct on same day all makes sense. More Monster Hunter goodness in my veins.

 

[littletran22]

wat...WHAT?!?!?!??!

Capcom!!! I am at your mercy....

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Woot! Sounds great

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This interests me greatly. I love the nuances of the Insect Glaive and Charge Blade in MH4U so hearing that this game will focus on more technical combat is music to my ears. I just wonder, will this be a traditional hunting game?

 

[Sandfox]

Capcom is trying some interesting things with the series.

 

[Wolf Akela]

4 styles of playing to choose from. Changes your special moves you can do. Real focus on personalization of your hunting style

 

[cw_sasuke]

That sounds great....hyped !!!

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

so the fighting is going to sped up? That's the main reason I don't play monhun games, so it'd be interesting if true.

[Spieler Eins]

MH character action!?

 

[raven777]

 

[Troubled Bat]

Shiiiit, this sounds right up my alley.

[JimPanzer]

yep, those screen are enough. importing a jp 3ds right naaaow! want to play Fire Emblem anyway.

 

[Shengar]

Not really felyne it, honestly. Lets see how it goes and how it try to be differ from the mainline games without cannibalizing it.

 

[Cerity]

This better come to the west in one form or another.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Interested.

Hope it dosn't take 1 year to release here.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Screenshots are awful quality. Can barely make out shit. However, this'll likely be a day one purchase. My japanese n3DS waits in hot anticipation.

 

[Riposte]

Monster May Cry

 

[Americanmushroom]

People are gonna confuse this with MH10 lol

Yeah the MH4/G screen were also complete shit ...thank god it looks way better in motion xD

 

[Akainu]

Can't see shit.

 

[dragonlife]

Uh...

Holy shit.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Wait, those levels, those are MH4 areas. Is this an expansion?

 

[kuroneko0509]

New game

 

[Seanspeed]

Lots of particle effects. Should look good in 3D.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yeah the MH4/G screen were also complete shit ...thank god it looks way better in motion xD

Yeah the screenshots really undersold how good the game looks when you actually play it. There must be a way to get better screenshots without downsampling, unless I'm mistaken? I have a feeling I am though.

EDIT: I see Testucabra, Najarala and Rathalos in the screens...wonder if those will be 3 of the 'main' monsters. I'm also wondering how deep the hunting elements go.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Can't see shit.

No kidding. All that is missing is a lens flare.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

New game

Hm. Should be interesting to find out more.

 

[Aureon]

Wait, those levels, those are MH4 areas. Is this an expansion?

I think the second one isn't?

 

[krossj]

So judging by those screens it is MH4 but with different combat? The combat is not what should drastically change about the series. Still interested to hear more.

 

[cw_sasuke]

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.

 

[BlueSilver]

Character action or part of the main series?

 

[yurinka]

Why 'Cross' in the name? Crossover with other IP? Maybe just announced for 3DS but will finally multiplatform? Maybe related to Nintendo NX?

Edit: @aevanko said 'x cross stands for the 4 styles the 4 new monsters the 4 villages etc' in Twitter

 

[cheesekao]

I think the second one isn't?

2nd one is A.Steppe.

 

[Mets9]

[co1onel]

Everything about this sounds awful to me. Is this supposed to be the next game in the main series?

 

[Thoraxes]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this trailer

 

[Pachimari]

Will this be exactly like the main series games but with new action elements?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

well it's not called mh5 so I rather doubt it.

 

[fedexpeon]

Can't see shit.

This.
The graphic keeps getting worse and worse.
I can't barely make out the pixel art.
WTF is the 4th picture supposed to be?
A black armored hunter blocking light arrows?

We will never get MH again on a powerful console if people keep buying MH on 3DS =/.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

This looks way fucking better in motion. Also it looks like it's only using some areas are 4, there are new places and new monsters.

In other words, be excited. Hopefully the proper trailer is uploaded soon.

Yeah how dare those JP developers make a game for their main market.

No, it's "X" to distinguish it from the main series.
