Where’s my animal crossing?

Yeah they confirmed you can change gear mid hunt a basecamp

I’d say likely. There’s been a lock on mechanic since Tri Ultimate. Although it could be portable only.

You can sneak up on Monsters. If you crouch your actual less detectable. If you crouch in large bushes even more so. The behavior has been there since 1 it’s just never been very good. And it’s far less needed as each game has gotten easier incrementaly.

That’s partly why they put more focus on stealth. So you can run away and hide. I’m actually really excited for this. Feels alot more natural. Always felt like cheese to leave a zone mid fight to sharpen or heal. Or the ever anoying Monster at the Zone edge, where you would be knocked out or zone out mid swing.

I’d honestly rather they would switch to one for both. From an aesthetic standpoint, yeah it means on less diversity which is disappointing. But atleast you wouldn’t need to craft double armors if you want to play both.

If you’ve been playing since the PS2/PSP days this is nothing new. We never got G, 2, frontier, or portable 3. Elements of each of those did show up in later games here but we never got actual releases in the west. The games switched consoles several times now. First PS2, then PSP and a PS3 port, then Wii, then WiiU…

They’ve been attempting to improve that since the original. Each new title tends to attempt increasing inclusion in some way.

Developers allready stated this is a standard MH title. It’s 5 in all but name, it was actually called MH5 during development but they liked World better. Maps ans Hub towns and quest boards still exist. You can still party up at hall/hub first. Biggest difference is now maps are no longer split into zones and you csn…

The salt this game is getting is unreal. I’ve played every MH title released in the West with the exception of the original Freedom.(I played the orginal MH on PS2 at release, and got a PSP specically to play Freedom 2)

Going by the videos and interviews if you can’t tell this is a mainstream MH title then your either…

Um mothafuckin NEW Monster Hunter? New Engine, Zoneless maps, All 14 weapon types returning, Global world wide release?

Cool concept but thus far it looks a bit repetitive.

Market lead arrogance, Sony fell prey to this after PS2 and got knocked down because of it. Microsoft fell prey to this after the 360 and also got knocked down because of it. Looks like now that they’re back on top, old habits are returning.

Wanted to post this here. Apparently all 14 weapon types, as well as Palicoes will be returning. http://www.xboxachievements.com/news/news-27325-Monster-Hunter—World-Will-Include-All-14-Weapon-Classes-From-the-Previous-Games—-Bring-Back-Palicoes.html

My hype for this game just shot through the roof.

In original MH I played pretty sneaky when soloing. I’d set up traps with poisoned meat and such. Barrel bombs etc. Subsequent games were made easier and easier so such tactics became far less needed. But the mechanics and tools have always been there. You can still sneak and hide from sight in bushes.

Finaly new engine! I’m going to miss handheld though. Monster Hunter is the most fun when your physically in the same room as the people you’re playing with.

So wait. Is does this pre-rendered trailer make it more real than the pre-rendered trailer they released years back.

Is this actually playable or is it still vaporware?

Semantics argument but is it really “indie” if it’s being published by EA? Sure it’s a small studio, but it’s not independent.

They technically did for 3. Hence why it was mostly new Monsters. But they’ve still reused the majority of assets from previous games. Maps, character models, etc.

As a long time MH player since the original on PS2. This game needs a visual upgrade. 13 years of using mostly the same assets is enough.

If they decide to eventually fully go Switch and leave the 3DS behind, they need to come up with a new engine finally to merit the cross over.
