Is this just the same game again with a couple of new dudes and monsters?
That's just sad.
But that's how it's always been. The world outside Japan has only ever gotten the expansion version while Japan has always released a base game and then an expansion.Is this just the same game again with a couple of new dudes and monsters?

Also I'll miss not having the map cover the top screen again.

Well, until now anyway.
What they described is that if you continuously attack the monster, you build up your 'Brave Meter'. Once it's full, you can new combos that you can't do normally, and your evades will be faster than normal as well.
Aesthetically speaking MHS looks like trash to me because I wasn't able to see past the kiddie/Yokai Watch like style so I never had any interest in MHS. Graphically speaking the MH series has always looked like a PS2 or PS2+ game and the series has never bothered to make use of the actual hardware they are on. The only technical "marvel" for the series would be MHTri on Wii and MHO on PC.After MonHun Stories, this one looks like trash graphically speaking.
Why is everyone assuming a Switch version is happening? Wouldn't they just start with 5 on the Switch (say at the end of 2017 or early 2018) and also wait a while for the install base to actually be there?

That's may be true but the extremely poor screen resolution of the 3DS doesn't do the game justiceStop. MH4U and MHX are some of the best looking games on the 3DS.
But what else can they start with? The only logical way to do this would've been with a MHX expansion on both 3DS and Switch, and THEN go all-out with MH5 from the ground-up exclusively on Switch.
It gets a game on Switch as early as possible (they'd never do that if it was built specifically for it, not enough time), and it allows them to get one last hurrah out on 3DS before the... umm... switch. XD
Personally, I wish they were doing remakes of MH1 and 2. We've seen the villages in Generations and I just checked yesterday, they really did overhaul the assets and aren't just ports of the PS2/PSP originals. That would've been awesome last 3DS game(s) IMO, as the 3DS would have EVERY generation ever then.
Sounds awesomeBetter translation of Brave Style
Sounds like them giving Archdemon to every weapon class?

They're best looking for what they do but Capcom themselves gas shown before they can do better on the hardware before (not a far comparison but RE:R comes to mind).In that case you can't blame the game to make best use of the hardware they are on like you did

That was to the Wii, but yeah, that was total WTF. Maybe they didn't want to take the time to adapt Freedom Unite to consoles properly, but they could have at least used Monster Hunter 2.Short answer: Because Capcom.
Long answer: Before Tri came out, Capcom actually rushed out a port of Monster Hunter G to the Wii U. Not 2, not 2G, not Freedom Unite - MH1 G. Never mind the previous precedent set with 3U.
I always got the feeling they want to do something super game changing with 5 and are using Generations to experiment with game mechanics so that if they don't work out in the long run they can dial them back because "oh that was the experimental game".PokéKong;221681471 said:If 5 is being built from the ground up as an HD console title, and thus the very first MH game to be so (not counting a Chinese MMO), then we have at least until 2018 to wait for it. Whether XX stays on 3DS or comes to Switch, I don't really care, I am relatively new to the series and am still happily eating up what ever they give us. If this is our appetizer to tie us over while the next main game is in the works, I'm glad to take it where ever it ends up.

Key members of the mainline team were working on Stories, so I suspect MH5 isn't all that far along at this point.Mainline MH games and side games like this and portable 3rd are not done by the same team. MH5 should be in production since MH4U, normally.
So, is it pronounced Monster Hunter Cross Cross?

Yeah, I saw it nowIt's pronounced Monster Hunter Double Cross.
But it's always been that way (for the most part) in Japan but now that we are getting them yearly in the West too people starting to not like that? Capcom can't please everyone I guess.The annual releases are really grinding me down. I've never felt this indifferent to a new MH announcement before ;|
Will the third game be Monster Hunter XXX?
Double Cross? Tri came out on the Wii almost a decade ago!
It's called Monster Hubter Double Cross and we don't even get to play on the side of the monsters? What kind of scam is this.
I cannot see this releasing in March without a Switch version for the west. I can see us not even getting the 3DS version.
