This is the first BESPOKE Monster Hunter game for the Switch

well, the other was a port of a game that was actually released on 3ds in japan

They should have phrased it as the first made directly for Switch MH. Generations Ultimate was an enhanced port, I think.

GU is a port this was made purely for the switch And PC

I had far more fun with Generations Ultimate on Switch than I did with World on PC, and ended up spending at least 3x more time playing it, so here's hoping that Rise is a great balance of the two and doesn't lean so hard into the 'Western friendly' features of World.

I still love you papi

I had noticed but everyone was too busy pointing out wankard pooser 😂

Just a reminder that not all old mh games had unlocked fps, mhgu on the switch and 3ds had a locked 30fps but it not all stable tho.

Yeah, I've noticed. But no biggie, you guys did a great job on this video, and I'm not even a fan of the franchise.

9/10 then.

Well, he's wrong about some things: World didn't have visible loading zones, however it was still using zones and could load nearby ones in the background. There always is one specific entry and exit point. In rise on the other hand it's one seamless openworld map. Like the big levels in mario odysee. So rises take on it is actually more demanding. In Monster Hunter World the distant animation rate is also 15fps. The clipping trough ground in the walking animation is because they removed collision detection from decorative stones/ objects in order to make the leviathan monsters work. It would not have made a difference performance wise. He's just right about the reduced shadow quality on vegetation and trough water and the palico reacting to beeing attacked.

@@HermesderWetterbote good point. IIRC from the demo, the areas don’t have those cases where you run into an invisible wall in the terrain and you have to manually enter the adjacent area, right? In Rise it seems they handle segmentation of maps by 1) making segment “doorways” line up with real world geometry and 2) hiding level loading with “corridor” areas. That’s what I got from the demo level I played. Edit: regarding “feet touching ground” my assumption would be that a game would have a “collision” geometry and a “viewable” geometry. To save resources you would use a simpler geometry for collision. Or it could be that their method for placing “decorations” gave them freedom but didn’t mesh (pun intended) with their collision system.

@@kittenburger_prime Yeah, about the ground your first assumption is correct :) They have a collision and a viewable geometry. Interestingly when you climb a mountain they match. It's just in the areas on the ground that there is a difference. It's to increase the smoothness of the gliding leviathan monsters. (And probably why they could not be included in mh world - on rough surfaces with collision it would look really buggy.)

@@HermesderWetterbote an openworld continuously load in the background. It's more a choice of game design than a technical constraint. Collision detection can only be applied to the hero, it wouldn't make sense for big monsters.

@@WTFWHATara true, but that is more work i suppose. They simply have objects with and objects without collision detection. Also when you go to areas where Monsters can't get, objets like tree trunks and rocks have collision detection. so it's clearly for the monsters. And yeah, Openworlds do load constantly in the background, but if you look closely in world the areas further away are not loaded at all. it's like the last of us or old james bond games. so they have a lot more recourses free for close details. and since you cant leave any area except trough the tight corridors they also dont need to add stuff where the player will never go. in rise however you can climb on the top of a mountain and see the monsters/ players all the way to the other side of the map. as well as all trees, rivers etc. at once.

@Spencer Madden thank you bot very cool

@Spencer Madden Very helpful bot

I feel like we all were planning to give a actual comment, but replying to the bot took our energy away and we didn't bother saying what we actually wanted.

Honestly. I couldn’t even tell that it was at 500p on switch handheld. THATS the sign of excellence in art direction.

I look much better than mh world i like more the animated art style

Really cool what Capcom did with gameplay. Impressive what they achieved graphics wise. And the overall natural animations, the cute voice-over, and the adorable interactions between you and your buddies are the perfect sauce for this dish. On handheld the 30 fps are perfectly fine (on a big screen I get a headache, like with every low fps game). I believe Switch games are optimized for handheld first, and that's the right choice for me. I love it💟

thats a fact, i thought it was weird

I was playing world just yesterday, and i can confirm.

They are also like this on 3DS, as a fun reference

Rich Leadbetter from Digital Foundry.

But some are incorrect: The clipping trough ground in the walking animation is because they removed collision detection from decorative stones/ objects in order to make the leviathan monsters work. That's why they wherent in world. The collision detection when they glide over the ground would create lots of bugs. World didn't have visible loading zones, however it was still using zones and could load nearby ones in the background. There always is one specific entry and exit point. In rise on the other hand it's one seamless openworld map. Like the big levels in mario odysee. So rises take on it is actually more demanding. In Monster Hunter World the distant animation rate is also 15fps. It would not have made a difference performance wise.

@@HermesderWetterbote your last point is wrong since it does have a performance hit lol if it didn't why would they cut the framerate in that way? everything else is ok I guess

And MH3U was 30fps too I think. I never noticed unstable things

and on the new 3ds it was often hitting 60fps

Mh3u is 60fps and if you turn off 3D in game setting, it will mostly more than 60fps+ (actually it reach more than 80fps on new 3ds... Insane right?)

The art design is great but thats about it. Technically is not more advanced than a typical x360 game with high res textures. No sorcery of any kind.

@@JaimeIsJaime Remember that they're rendering this with like 10 watts of power, compared to the 160 watts of 360. Also, RE Engine definitely has at least a little witchery cause you can get like 200 fps on PC on some the best looking games ever made.

@@bim8498 on PC maybe. just not here on switch

@@JaimeIsJaime Ah yes, I love to take my X360 out on the train and play it.

This game definitely looks better than most x360 games ..I still play a lot of old exclusives on it. Rose tinted glasses really make old games pop .

@@Durwood71 I'm glad that you appreciate it :3

I'm waiting for that too. Upscaling can make a huge difference.

The RE engine seems to have this flaw. It happens in the Resi remakes too.

@@HermesderWetterbote I was thinking about the Leviathan skeleton when he mentioned the rock collision. That makes a lot of sense.

And here I am still waiting for a new Switch version. Might as well just pull a trigger on the current one lol.

@@vals9838 theres not going to be a new switch, its a rumor to slow down the sales of the current switch, just get it now.

@@mr_m4613 I was not referring to rumors that are going sround for years, just hoping for next gen version st some point. But yeah, you are right. No harm in getting current gen. It should be relevant for at least few more years.

Game barely output over 720p in docked. That's not that impressive. It's better than UE on Switch, sure, but is it good? Not really. RE Engine is fantastic on mid-range hardware, especially for how good it looks. But even this engine can't make the Switch do miracles.

@@claire6452 over 720p in a openworld map with up to 5 extremely detailed monsters at once is very impressive... Even mh world had a max. of 3 monsters on screen at once. And it still used zones, just without loading times between them, so it's less taxing because you dont have to add detail at places players cant reach.

@Dizzy Gear and you can record gameplay clips. In more demanding games for the switch, they only allow the option to take screenshots

It's all that beautiful color

Cutscenes are the highlight of the game. Then you go in game and it looks terrible. I hope it's a good indicator of how good the PC version will look, but considering how bad World was when it came out on PC, probably not ..

@@claire6452 that's normal though. Even DMC5 cutscenes look mind-blowing but actual gameplay quality is worse. And this is the same engine as DMC5. Control is another game that does this.

@Walther Penne there is a reason some games use this. its for easier animations and to prevent collision bugs. In Xenoblade x its because of the skells that they choose to disable it for moving objects and decorative terrain, in monster hunter the gliding leviathan monsters are the couse. (that's why they where absent in world) it doesn't save performance.

@Walther Penne true, but there's no collision with cars and people :)

@Walther Penne yeah, exactly... imagine your skell hitting people 😅

Tbf, pure resolution matters so little nowadays compared to texture quality and such

that's why i turn off anti aliasing in witcher 3 on switch xD sadly doom doesn't have such an option.

@@HermesderWetterbote Turning off TAA in some games can cause massive shimmering though. It works fine in this game because it was probably fine tuned to reduce shimmering because of its relatively simple geometry most of the time. You can still find shimmering in Rise but it's very rare and this is probably why they decided to not use TAA.

@@TexelGuy yeah, but i prefer a sharp shimmering game with sharp textures than everything blurry just to reduce shimmering 😅 No wii game had anti aliasing and still most of them looked fine. but anti aliasing on top of 480p ? that looks horrible 😅

Yeah I kinda wish they focused more on the graphical improvements between that one and Rise. The jump in monster detail is really noticeable.

@@XZ-III not my point. They should have been comparisons to it, especially monsters.

How did you manage to think like this on the first point, lol

@@murattyngoThought it was one of those useless game review/journalism sites like ign, kotaku, etc.

I just got a 144 hz monitor, but 30 fps still doesn't bother me so much. Depends on the game though. Some seem like they were made for 60+, like Witcher 3 and Kingdom Come.

@@axogreen876 I played it on docked on my 55” tv. It’s really hard to enjoy. But I think handheld is a lot more enjoyable. Most of my friends are not sensitive withe framerates. I’m so jealous that they can deal with any fps thrown to them. While I’m stuck with certain games.

@@T.O.Wallee Yeah I totally get it. Everyone has different tolerances - and different eyes, for that matter. While it typically isn't an issue for me, sometimes a few hours of 30 fps gaming does give me some eye strain.

@Walther Penne Huh, never seen anyone gush about Xenoblade Chronicles X' animations. I did play that game and liked it. Character animations weren't as meaty and weighted like those of Monster Hunter though imo. I'd say that things like movement actually look kinda bad, but they do so in most big scale JRPGs, so it didn't really bother me. So I do not agree.

@@KaiSchSp neither do I and I love the game. Animations are definetely better in monster hunter. Though honestly they are very different games

@Walther Penne I never thought I would see someone bring up Xenoblade Chronicles X in such a way and be so wrong. I love that series, but this comparison makes absolutely no sense. The framedrops you're referring to occurred as a result of an odd glitch involving having too many people on your Switch friends list---50 or more I believe. This was a problem in the first demo but was fixed in the second, and given the positive impression of the performance in multiples reviews I've seen, I have no doubt the framerate will be just fine online in the full release.

Same happens in Ghost of Tsushima. DF runined the beauty of that game for me 😁😉

There are loads of games that do this on PC and PS4/XBONE. It’s annoying but you learn to ignore it.

Never really noticed it tbh because my character was so far zoomed out and I was just rushing for the bosses but now I'll never not notice it

Meh. This is a switch release and a damn good looking one at that. No need to nitpick small details. The gameplay is amazing and that's all that matters. The fact that I can charge in to battle on the back of a wild dog, brandishing a weapon several times my own body weight is more than enough for me.

Some things i want to point out: The clipping trough ground in the walking animation is because they removed collision detection from decorative stones/ objects in order to make the leviathan monsters work. That's why they wherent in world. The collision detection when they glide over the ground would create lots of bugs. Some other points: World didn't have visible loading zones, however it was still using zones and could load nearby ones in the background. There always is one specific entry and exit point.

World is incredible, I play on an ultra wide with everything topped, it's incredible, a new DLC could a been great. the long sword is so incredible with the DLC

Despite all the frame drops originally, it's phenomenal that it even ran like it did on that old architecture. Can't help but be excited for Rise now because of the new engine.

@@nikkoa.3639 Rise on pc will be amazing for sure

@@ImPolonn Yeah I cant wait for the release in 1 year

@@ImPolonn This video got me thinking. At first I thought it was strange for the PC version to take a whole year to be finished. I thought they were just being cautious due to COVID and/or the decision to release on PC was indeed as last-minute as they made it sound like. And while all of that may still be true, now I'd add another factor: maybe they'll actually revert some or all the compromises mentioned here. I mean, I'd be happy with just a port upscaled to higher resolutions and framerates, but considering the amount of PC-specific stuff they added to World over time (DLSS, CAS Fidelity, high-res texture pack, new keybind options and so on)... I expect them to go beyond a simple upscaled port with Rise.
