To what, though? The shorter (single-player?) video does look pretty smooth, but the longer multiplayer video looked to be dropping below 30fps more often than not. It's still six months or so from release, though, so I'm not claiming that's what the final product will look like.

Man, This cannot come soon enough.
Alright, I think this is how it goes, but don't all rip on me if I'm a little wrong. When an enemy, or an ally, is slain, if you move close to the body, your two palms rise up. One is "rescue" (救済, the other is "sacrifice" (犠牲
The other thing to mention, when a monster, or an ally, is down/hurt, you'll see red text showing up saying stuff like "I want to be with my family" or "I don't want to die". Stuff that's supposed to tug on those heart strings and show that they were once real people, but have somehow gone astray.
it's a joint result...famitsu also asked about it in the interview, what would happen if the vote is 1 rescue 2 sacrifice(talking about the multiplayer demo where one player died, so only 3 players has the right to choose)? inafune said there is a system for that, and it's still a secret, he teases by saying in that case maybe the 2 players who choose sacrifice would receive compensation while the other one wouldn't
what i got from that multiplayer demo is that the boss(cerberus) was once human...and those floating red texts at the end of the demo saying i want to be with my family and stuffs are from that boss, so it makes you player feel pity for the boss, so u can vote for kyuusai/救済/rescue instead of sacrificing him
Okay I'm going to add the following to the OP.

Gameplay looks very promising, animation is great, gore is as cartoony as I hoped.
I'm now comfortable saying I'm all in for this project. Can't wait for more info.

I don't know what the heck is happening in most of that video but it looks nice
Great animation, and looks like a pretty complex combat system
Hopefully we'll see some direct feed stuff soon

Oh I really hope we get information on a worldwide release at e3 looks so dang fun
That was good! Can't wait to see more trailers soon.
The golem summon looks so fucking cool. Is there a class system in this game? If yes, I'm definitely playing the summoner class.

Just move the camera slightly to the right, bro. The back of that dude's head is nice and all, but I'd rather see the game.
i'd be really curious as to what the japanese press, and gamers thought of the gameplay demo. Seems like there might be alot of impressions out there right now, but I don't understand any of it.
Really hoping we see more of this at E3, it looks so good. I'm wondering what sacrifice the giant fist weapon came from, wondering alot of things about the game actually. Early opinion though is that i'm pretty hyped.

Infrastructure online MH like gameplay on my Vita? Day fucking 1.
The game plays a lot closer to MonHun than I would have thought after the reveal. It looks a little faster, but the monster had similar charging attacks and the weapons at your disposal had some similarities as well. There was the big sword, the fast sword and something that resembled a hammer. Plus all those magic attacks. This game could be really deep.
I think it sounds like a great game mechanic IMO. It's something I would have loved in MonHun for example. If you have a shitty player that's contributing nothing and he gets killed the whole team is penalized in MonHun. Having the option to sacrifice him instead of letting him respawn (where he can get killed again) would be welcomed. If the player is good and say died protecting the team, you can revive him so he can continue to help. I really like the sound of that.
It'll also curb griefers and other nuisances since they'll get nothing if you sacrifice them. Of course the team could sacrifice you even if you've been helpful so it's an incentive to avoid dying.

Well the combat definitely looks good. Can't wait to see it direct feed without some guys head blocking half the screen.
I'm curious though, where's the health bars? How do players figure out how close to death they are? Is it related to the on screen blood splatter you see with every hit?
As for my stance on the player sacrifice thing, my stance moves from "sounds terrible" to "I don't know what to think". At the very least it doesn't look like it'll inhibit players from using the big spells like I was originally worrying about but now it looks like a great way to destroy friendships. Good thing I probably won't be playing with RL friends then.
That's completely missing the point of what makes MH's co-op so great. Everyone gets equally rewarded, regardless of performance, so it's of very little consequence if one player isn't quite up to snuff. Sure the system's not perfect and a really bad player could singlehandedly end the entire mission for everyone, but lets be honest, once you get past the 1* quests this kind of situation barely happens. As such this "no dramas" type of implementations fosters a community of players who try to help each other get better. High Hunter rank players will often go into low rank cities to help noobs.
On the other hand this game's "winner takes all" situation is just asking to foster a hostile and elitist community. I'm not sold on it yet.

reading this post makes it sound like you didn't judge the framerate on less than 5 seconds of footage.
I don't think everybody is as selfish as you think. Part of the MH experience is helping others achieve their goals.
Don't see how it would be any different here.
asia version!
To be fair, you're not giving very many opportunities where you can actually grief players in MH. The worst it gets is managing to launch someone with a Great Sword upswing.
I think they mentioned that the way you play also changes your character beyond the first customization. So I guess if you act selfless you change in a different way then if you are a dick to everyone.

looks goretastic!
Awesome example of using enviromental objects as a sacrifice as that looks like a tree branch being transformed into a sword (or maybe a whip?). I'm curious how many types of items there will be that can be used like this, I'm thinking the body sacrifices will be last resort types of spells that can really do some major damage but there will be a big risk in using them.
An example would be the Spine rip sword. You use it, you gain the sword, but then you only have a set amount of time that you are able to use it before your body goes to mush and you die. Really hope this will be at E3, and we don't have to wait until TGS for more information.

As someone who doesn't have any desire or interest in Monster Hunter, THIS game looks amazing! This is exactly the type of game that Vita needs. Damn it looks good.

Yeah between this and gravity rush we have some very unique and fun looking new ips, here's hoping for more at E3.
