same. im just very happy to play another monster hunter. cant wait

Fr let em cook

Based. It can be fun to speculate and hope for things and make opinions but it gets stressful, it's nice to just lay back and trust in the process and just enjoy what they actually make instead of getting upset about one feature you don't like.

Well said!

i just hope the seemless thing doesnt come at the cost of too much fps

That would be crazy

Prolly not due to console hardware limitations, that’s usually why games don’t let you zoom far out or have high FOV because it would have to render in more on screen at one time

​@@shaunkennedy174 Camera distance is not fov. Instead I suspect that they never want to make the camera too far from the player, even on the far setting, so that you can always still see your weapons and armor in detail on a couch ten feet away from the tv, sort of like the rationale between console fps games having ginormous viewmodels.

​@@shaunkennedy174I played with Far FOV mod with my i5 3050 and it does not affect any performance at all, but it is game breaking because you can see what and when the monster will attack that one will make the game easier, well that's just for me though, everyone has different experience.

​@@Huuuuuuue camera distance and FOV do the same thing: render more on your screen

I never understood the point of 16 player gathering hubs if there are no 16 player hunts.

@@4PieceOriginal Sieges. And just beeing there with other people. looking at builds or transmogs

Where it is confirmed lol, no its not. Not even the official page does mention about the hubs.

@@deushayatur0301 Sieges are BS. We all thought there would be 16 player before Kulve came out, but its just more 4 player action with the enemy having a shared health pool among 4 diff groups of 4 players.

@@4PieceOriginal16 player gathering hub makes you feel like there is always someone that will probably help you, or someone new to meet that will probably help you with all the hunts you need to do on that day. Sos to be honest are difficult to trust on super hard quest. I would rather go on a hub where everyone is focus on a single monster than do a quest then risk asking for help through sos and have help from new players who are probably still learning how to fight the super hard monster

Agree completely with you, its really a hassle to do it every time.

@@kazuu5028 yeahh, its super weird that we both have to watch the cinematic for that area/quest/monster 🤮

God Eater 3 handled this perfectly I played through the story with my friend

Given how long it has been since our last BIG monster hunter game, and the fact that this is headed by Capcom JP, I don’t think they will compromise either. At least JP still cares about the quality of their games.

Why wouldn't skipping time make sense? It can easily be done with all the players sitting at a campsite. It's not a difficult thing to agree on if you're playing with friends. Playing with randoms is already a mixed bag, so you shouldn't expect them to listen to you at all. NOT being able to skip time wouldn't make sense. In World, there are several activities and things you can ONLY do during specific times of day. With how Wilds is being described, the emphasis on time and weather is being cranked up even higher. Not being able to skip time would be a very foolish choice. I don't want to have to wait half an hour before the chance that a rare endemic life might spawn, or some rare gatherable to pop up.

​​@@HollowBagelnot everyone is playing with friends. Monster hunter has always had a quest board. That's one of the essence of the game. You said it's fine if u play with friends but as i said sometimes u just go into a lobby and u don't know anyone.

​@@HollowBagel Most of the time if u play with randoms and they're annoying, picking quests, ignoring yours, you just leave and find another lobby.

​@@HollowBagelThere is expedition quests where it's already night or day. Never been a problem bro. Monster hunter hunting system was perfect then and i hope they won't ruin it

@@cauchyflorian9273 I can see you didn't really get my point..

I have seen in translations from the japanse articles that the monsters won't be diresctly shown on the map *at the very begining*, you have to track it in a similar fashion as in World but apparently it's less tiedieous to finish finding the clues. If i remember correctly Arekks also added that in one of their vids where they list all the new info from articles.

December? I doubt it. We are getting a demo on August this year, so maybe we are getting the game on the first quarter of 2025

I don't think it will be like Rise. Rise in not numbered MH series. Rise is not a main game. It's the 'fun' version, just like MHG (fun version of MH4)

​@@ahmadashraf9448 Ah yes... World! My favorite number.

@@PenanceisNigh small braincell

We know people who are new won't pick up on how different the handhead versions are ment to be

@@meikahidenoriif they’ve played both they will. It’s really not hard to see.

Wait so they release 2 games a few years apart and after the lifecycle they release the direct sequels for them that’s crazy

@@AcorpsWater Yes, Monster Hunter follows a Mainline - Expansion - Portable - Expansion release, sometimes not in that order. The expansions I really consider to be their own games, and if you played World and then Iceborne, or Rise and then Sunbreak when they released, you'll understand what I mean. Mainline is developed by one team and focuses on ecology in a believable world and a grand (often poorly written, really) story to tie it all together. Because they're made for home consoles which are the most powerful, they get to focus more on graphics and cinematics. Portable is developed by another team at around the same time (so currently both games are in development and we won't hear about the next Portable until ~2 years after Wilds) and focuses on flashy combat with crazy looking monsters in a fantasy, unexplainable world, often ironing out experimental features created in the Mainline. The purpose of each is primarily to provide fans with plenty to enjoy before the next hiatus period while they develop the next generation, and secondarily to cater to the two different major fan groups, one only really caring about the story and world itself, and the other caring more about gameplay mechanics, flashy aesthetics and combat difficulty. Re-reading this, it comes off as a bit of a jab, but that's just the general distinctions between the groups and is in no way meant to be a black and white blanket distinction as many such as myself play both for the same reasons: I love Monster Hunter.

Yeah it uses electro magnetic powers to propel electric explosions so a electric ammo rail gun

@@taylorhewson8995 that is still not a railgun

​@@taylorhewson8995You can tell this guy has no idea what a rail gun is

hslts maul

*Technically* tenderising is back as wounds, it's just that there's no move that specifically does it. It naturally happens if you just keep attacking. You can't do anything interruptive to your fight to make it happen, it just happens.

​@@kingofflames738The issue with tenderising was it was a flat damage buff that you have to reapply, every fight, every so often to each body part but doing a specific action that isn't combat. Clutch claw should have been limited to dropping ammo and wall slams.

So why do you think you would be able to use bow and lance? Unless they completely overhaul the armor/skill system in every possible way, lance and bow share absolutely no skills. You are only changing weapons. Not armor. It not once was shown changing armor and would make no sense because thats not something you can quickly grab and use like a weapon. Without a complete overhaul to the system, weapon swapping is going to be extremely limited and being an extremely niche use since you cant just have 30 skills in use and most people would argue against having something like that. And Im sure the "swapping decos" thats mentioned will just a be a small buff when you initially do it. Also the fact its not even a quick and simple change makes it even harder to justify using and involves wasting time on a mount. Simply put a lot weapons dont overlap the same skills that benefit them without completely changing the game and so far I see it being a pretty dead system that only the type of people you dont want in your hunts will use regularly and mostly just a time waste.

Hopefully there'll be an option to hide non-tracked monsters (best case scenario), or even a mod if you're playing on PC. Running into an Anjanath turning a corner was one of the best parts of World, I don't want the map to spoil cool surprises like that either :(

I'm out. This is just monster hunter rise. Focusing purely on fighting and not hunting. That's the most ridiculous feature. If I wanted the monster pre tracked, I'd play rise. That's why I didn't play rise.

i would be ok with just the paintball coming back. its kinda what made it in a way when i first played mhf

What a good thinker

According to another article from someone who saw the demo (don't know which exactly, I believe it was mentioned in the video "monster hunter wilds - 18 impactful changes to combat" by Arekkz Gaming) the scoutflies are still a thing! So the first time hunting a monster it won't be visible on map and you will have to track it similarly to World, but once you've discovered it it will be marked on the next quests

My thoughts exactly. Even if it's a small touch in Dos, it really builds the narrative of the hunter and how they adapt to the environment (at least for me).

Someone that also played the demo said that you’re able to hunt it down like in world before you ever see it and then it will be marked after you track it down and kill it

then you didn’t like world cause world is way easier than the old games when you had to run in circles looking for the monster cause you missed a paintball

@@shap7296 You can still enjoy a game whilst enjoying functions of another lol. And after 1000 hours of hunting the same thing you know what areas they’ll rotate to so doesn’t matter about paintballs.

@@shap7296 God I miss farming Deviljhos, going to his initial spawn only to (sometimes) find he's gone and then spend the next 5 minutes figuring out where tf the Pickle went. MH3 my beloved

@@IM_HIM495 "hunt it down like in World" You didn't hunt in World, you just follow the scoutflies to the monster, and when it leaves you can go AFK for half an hour and still know exactly where it is at all times. That's not hunting, that's fighting. I know they want money and therefore have to cater to idiots with zero ability to think for 2 seconds, but the old system of waving to the blimp and using paintballs until you memorized it's favored areas was already perfect and needed no replacement. Scoutflies destroy exploration because they have you looking at them, not the areas they take you through, resulting in the vast majority of people who have played over 200 hours of World have no idea how to navigate the Ancient Forest without the minimap and scoutflies. You could even keep the scoutflies and only have them appear when you enter the area the monster is in to make up for the extra floors and winding halls an area may have.

The "seasons" are probably just the state of the map, but maybe not, we'll see

I swear if there isn't 4 Almas walking around at once then I may not buy the game. Jkjk I'm already sold on it

4? Those are rookie numbers, I want the big lobbies back. 12-16 almas

@@camerondavis800 some god tier gamin!

Simple solution: Bring Paint Balls back

​@@meikahidenori please no keep that shit in the past

I agree, I've been very vocal about this for a while now

​@@darkhero2do you think we will ever get prowler mode back?

Yeah right. Wilds is going to have so much MTX costume stuff, with the new mount and palicos, moveable camps, handler and, already fan favourite smithy. It's going to get out of hand.

And you're gonna complain if the game costs any more than $60 right?

Yes, because MH games are expensive as fk, base game $60+$40 usd expansion+full of microtransactions, now imagine that as $70+$50 game plus expansion + a shitton of microtransactios, terrible im right?

Thank you so much, hope you have a good day!!

Welcome to the club!

I agree with this. It's the one thing I didn't like about rise all that much is the fact that there was never a phase where you would be looking for the monsters. I think world had the immersion just right, because I always hated the paintball system with a fiery passion. World had it where you would find actual clues to where the monsters whereabouts were and over time get more used to how the monster moves and behaves till it made sense that you would know where it goes. I know some people didn't like the scout flies but I think that It hit the right balance of immersion and cinematic involvement with the hunting process.

I would bet on march - since most MH games came out around march and they had the anniversary in march this year

My guess is the story beat between low rank and high rank will change something about the enviornment or monsters in it to be more dangerous giving logic behind high rank.

They need to make every armour a layered version straight from the off. Dye system needs to be better Would like free Character Customisation at any time too, but it's Capcom so that ain't going to happen.

u mean surge slash?

Yes

Omg I never thought of that. That would be amazing

i also prefer the rise hh. it felt satisfying to play.. the only downside was, that the buffs available were really underwhelming and i somehow wish you could have 1 customizable slot for a buff

Switch Skills make a return in this game so maybe there are new ones that replicate the Rise play style. I was hoping for Styles from Generations.

Ammo definitely isn't perfect in world, sticky is beyond op eclipsing everything outside especific elemental match-ups or spread headlock, piercing is only useful in certain monsters, normal lacks dos and cutting ammo got nerfed pretty early.

Bowguns need to be nerfed into oblivion, then players can be forced to play melee and actually learn the game. Got a friend who only HBG's, since Freedom Unite, boring AF.

I think that is the point and I expect there might be a system to allow some skills to apply to only weapon 1 or 2, but I don't think that will be the case for the most part
