Thank you for video Mel!

The trailer looks pretty good, still a big fan of putting a surppressor on my rifle. Elephant hunting going to be fun especially in multiplayer. Great video sweetheart xxx❤

We have to remember games sometimes take 6-10 years on top of dev team size because nine rocks and ultimate hunting have small dev teams so things take time

Great review Mel. I can just feel your excitement. I'm exactly the same & can't wait to see all the things I've heard about over the years. I just hope it's more sim than arcade without needs zones & random populations. Bring on 2025!

the trailer looks good hopefully the game does too it would be nice to have some more good hunting games out there. also I had very intrusive thoughts when the guy aimed the 416 Rigby at the baboon lol

It lives! Also, it looks really nice, and when it comes out it's sure to have an impact on the other hunting games. Going to shake things up, I think. Launch live stream, Mel?

I am still playing Way of the Hunter but I am also getting this one.

We shall see how it turns out. I like the customization options. Will love elephants to be able to hunt. Great video mels.

I love how they included that alot of the animals are endangered and love how they have the animals fighting (bucks)

I thought this game was a scam, we hadn't heard from it for so long after the last teaser. But this makes me so happy. Zebras, hippos and monkeys? Hell fucking yes!

been dreaming of a hunting game in UE5

after watching this trailer, i'm affraid of a "corridor hunting" game like cabela's games were.

This was a fair review. For me, a lot of it looks really janky and artificial, especially that waterhole setting, which reminded me more of an animatronic scene in a theme park ride. However, the equipment and some of the animals look really good. Overall, though, it kinda feels like a visual update to Hunting Simulator 2. Hopefully they get it turned around!!

Lol did they have Tim Wells narrate the beginning? Sounds a lot like him

I didn’t like way of the hunter until I played, I’m a little worried it’s the reverse with this one. We’ll just have to wait till we see some real gameplay!

I think it will be better than way of the hunter mel

As you said Mels, this is a new dawn for hunting games. I think we need to recognize the awesome job done so far by the COTW developers who have seen their player base steadily increase over the years. Because, I believe, that is what is making this possible. I'd love to see their strategic meetings from now on. To have this bombshell dropping on such an important date for them. Also, ultimate games have been a kind of underdog - look at their fishing games - I hope they manage to gather a good following delivering on such high expectations.

Looks great i hope to see and get albino nile crocs I'm also happy the game will have wood ducks which fun fact they hybridize a lot so hopefully some hybrid variants but ever since Mississippi Acres I wanted Wood ducks and now they're finally coming

Super curious if it’s more open world or a series of scripted hunts for each reserve, UE5 looks stunning as always tho lol

This game excites me and concerns me. Like many have said, some of the movements and graphics look a bit clunky. Of course, the game is still early. I’m happy they are not rushing the release. I think this game could change hunting games if made right. I love the idea of being able to put trophies in your truck. I also love how they do not care about the animals they add. Very different and makes them stand out, and fulfills my dream of hunting animals I cannot in real life.

omg im so exited!!

i can't wait!!

....NSFW: I can't F****** wait for this game :) Horses!!!

Mel is the goatttt

Definitely skeptical. World and animals look fantastic. People animations and movement, not so great. Hoping for exciting things to come!

My one gripe is southern africa doesnt look like this...Im happy for the species list, but the Africa map looks like a bad version of the lion king in terms of setting. We have grass over here...and tons and tons of grass, and Flat top acacias are not as common as stereotypical east africa. So far, Way of the Hunter has the most Authentic African map and even they dont have enough grass in certain areas...for trees we should be seeing combretums, buffalo thorn and the like...and did I mention grass? WE NEED GRASS!!!

I'll be honest I wasn't a fan of the trailer. Some things make me really really worried in particular. The first thing is the fact that the bear and elephant attack exactly the same way coming out of the bushes. Makes me think that this is some rng phone game like nonsense where there is an x% chance that an animal attack will spawn out of bushes and it's exactly the same every time. The other thing that worries me is how there seems to be a path outlined in most of this footage, makes me think that we will not be able to just walk around freely everywhere the way we can in CotW. Wouldn't be surprised if the sides in most of this footage are invisible walls. Both of these issues would absolutely kill this game on arrival for me.

Ooo is this gonna knock “way of the hunter” out the park? Is it more sim rather than like “call of the wild” run and gun

It seems very linear and the predator/charging mechanism looks very “big buck hunter” which is a little concerning but hopefully it gets fine tuned and turn out great. Great video!

It looks good, has a lot of new gameplay, nice graphics, but this game must be well optimized, if not many players' computers shouldn't be able to run it

The comments under the trailer are hilarious.

I just want the guinea fowl lol

I'll believe it coming out when i see it. But the trailer was good. The African map will be my home lol.

Will this be on console too

I am so excited for this game it's not even funny I'm most excited for hunting the elephants with my most favorite gun that I own in real life too the 700 nitro Express I love shooting a gun in general but it's expensive as hell to shoot and I hope it's the same way that it is in the game lets go

I’m getting this

The game looks really good its very promising but its has some stuff that looks scuffed

Love ya chanle

Awful time to release the trailer

The animal interactions look pretty awful. I think they cut out the buffalo, bear and elephant gunshots on purpose, not just for dramatic effect. Also, the bear running at the camera looked embarassing. When the car is pulling up to the "Southern Africa" sign, it looks worryingly like a number of terrible unity driving games I've played. They have very small scenes on display, there's no great shot of a big open world, especially in the shot that flies above the grass looking at the zebra's etc. in the watering hole. You can clearly see that this game is nowhere near ready. Of course, it's not even being released this year, but how much can a small dev studio improve it in 6 to 18 months? Only time will tell, I suppose.

Looks wierd looks like a Mobil games at times

Yeah we will probably get it in 2026 😂😂 or 2027

First redflah: IGN second redflag: Frame stutters like a This game is going to be a catastrophic failure... yo IGN pin my commnet so I can comeback and say "I Told you so"

Asset Rip: The Hunting Game

In my opinion it looks like an awful mobile game

The trailer went from 🤨 to 😬 to 🥹 real fast. I have no idea how to feel about he game.
