Monster Hunter: World confirmed for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One early 2018! PC version coming at a later date. #MHWorld

EDIT: Details sheet

Looks like a "modernized" take on Monster Hunter, including detective vision/glowy bits tracking, stealth mechanics, non segmented level design, faster machine gun like bowguns (you can even move while shooting), environmental destruction, monsters fighting each other, and, uh, a grappling hook? Actual melee combat wasn't really shown much except for MH4-style mounting.

Spoiler

I was not a fan, personally

 

[Atheerios]

Definitely a spin-off. Not even announced for Japan.

Edit: Woops, looks like it's coming to Japan as well.

[Mr. Smiley]

got dogma vibes

Itsuno dont do this to me

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

It looked amazing! The grappling hook omg

 

[foxuzamaki]

Definetiley a spin-off. Not even announced for Japan.

Really?

 

[gamz]

Trailer?

 

[studyguy]

Fucking hyped.

 

[Daedardus]

Need to see whether this will deliver. If it does the better, if it doesn't, let's hope the Switch rumours still hold.

 

[Vanille]

Why are they still using PSP animations.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Honestly as a Monster Hunter fan I was disappointed. This isn't really what I want out of the series

 

[ohlawd]

lol gutted what makes Monster Hunter worth playing: the combat

y'all can keep this

 

[Kinsei]

It does not look good at all.

Definitely a spin-off. Not even announced for Japan.

Really? If that's true then I guess we can safely say this isn;t interfering with MH5 at least.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Looks like trash with rough animations and the most generic design I've seen in awhile.

 

[Thoraxes]

It looked like something I don't want to buy. The gameplay looked really bad. The visuals were great though!

But at least the visuals mean they have some good HD assets for the next mainline game. TGS should be fun.

 

[KahooTs]

All those additions sound terrible.

 

[Oregano]

Looked great, I'm surprised reactions are so mixed.

Guess it wasn't mind blowing.

 

[clay_ghost]

Yup. Spinoff . Guess we will get the mainline on switch .

 

[Mechazawa]

Looks p bad, fam.

 

[_Clash_]

I am cautious

did not appeal on first impression

but i like Monster Hunter and have access to this

but man...gameplay looked bad

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

I mean it looks pretty! The combat isn't MH either.

 

[Alrus]

I'm a bit miffed about them barely showing any combat...

 

[NormalFish]

Looks like the worst monster hunter spinoff. Cannot imagine anyone who put in time to the mainline series is excited for this.

 

[Hero]

Doesn't look like Monster Hunter....

 

[MegaMelon]

C+p from the other thread.

Man that sure was different to what I thought I'd see. Dissapointed that we didn't see any actual Monster Hunting instead glowy item gathering and cinematic mumbo jumbo. Hopefully the other part of the runour is true and we'll see an actual MH in line with previous ones on switch

 

[schuelma]

So it obviously was the best looking game in the series. But it didn't wow me compared to other games shown for PS4/XB1.

It also appeared to make significant changes that might not appeal to Japan.

I'm not sure this is going to be able to stand out. Seems like a rather muted reaction so far.

 

[rpmurphy]

Hey man, new assets.

 

[Zexen]

Still disappointing that it is a "westernized" version that won't put as much weight in hunts preparation as the normal games.

 

[jchap]

Looked great, I'm surprised reactions are so mixed.

Guess it wasn't mind blowing.

After watching it I know nothing about how it will actually play. Similar to any MH reveal trailer.

Want to see more but I know I'll get it just because its called MH

 

[massoluk]

This ain't gonna be so hawt

 

[Log4Girlz]

They've got me curious

 

[mrpallyguy]

Visuals look outdated when i saw it on the stream and combat looks pretty jank. Will reserve judgement until theres a gameplay slice.

 

[KingBroly]

It looked...kinda generic.

and a lot like Dragon's Dogma and not Monster Hunter

Same. Looked bland and felt off on a lot of details.
Stealth next to a monster, particles to show places/items to loot, grappling hook, old animations with new graphics, etc.
Will try on PC at least, but it's at the same time better and worse than expected.

 

[Qvoth]

haters don't realize the significance of this
an MH title back on sony console is HUGE
whose to say if this becomes successful the mainline won't jump over?

 

[Grim Patron]

its a spinoff!!!!!!11111111

 

[Aztechnology]

Since there were multiple unanswered questions about why I no longer cared about the Switch MH. It's because.

Because I'll be getting that for PC (likely) or PS4 instead? I was only going to get the Switch version because I didn't think Capcom would ever bring it to PC or Console due to wanting to keep development costs down.

But, we'll see.

 

[Producer]

monster hunter for people who dont want to play monster hunter

 

[Wanderer5]

Yay Monster Hunter on PC (that is coming overseas that is ) could be so nice, even through I will probably still prefer portability for this series. Shall see how this goes then, cause it does look kind of bleh for now.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Man it looked really generic.

 

[Heroman]

This is what a monkey paw most feel lime.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

It looks...average

 

[jimmypython]

yeah..i need to see more to decide. but not a very promising first look.

 

[ZangBa]

I hate when Japanese devs westernize their games like FFXV. It's still early, but I'm not excited.

 

[Orayn]

haters don't realize the significance of this

I think it won't be very successful because it looks bad.

 

[Bornstellar]

Multiplat? And PC? Nice.

 

[tuffy]

Sorry, but portable-only for me. Gotta have my local multiplayer. Gonna skip this one altogether.

 

[Oersted]

How many MH spinoffs can the world handle

Frontier Z am cry

 

[watershed]

Wow the rumor was true. Looks good. I wonder if it will sell. I can see the "westernized" style.

 

[Siege.exe]

Would have liked to have seen more, but the grappling hook stuff got me pretty excited

 

[RayearthRob]

Jesus, that's not Monster Hunter o-o
