The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

Just remember the game is cerebral and thought out like Dark Souls and not jump in and slay like God of Devil May Bayonetta.

Bious · August 19, 2017, 1:56am

Fixed.

Holy shit that Wildspire Waste trailer is DOPE AS FUCK. Lots of new monster reveals… AND THE RETURN OF DIABLOS LDKFJAKLSFJKLSADJFLKAJ. Game just looking better and better with each new video. 2018 seems so far away. :<

To be fair, those beat’em ups/hack ‘n’ slash titles have multiple difficulties to choose from. Games like MonHun and Dark Souls do not. DMC and Bayonetta hardest difficulties aren’t to be fucked with.

crotchpuncha · August 19, 2017, 6:53am

I wouldn’t really say DMC or Bayonetta are jump in and play either…lol.

Damn…it’s gonna both suck and be hilarious teaming up with noobs again…at the same time, we gotta get our rank up as soon as possible or elitists who have more time to grind will think WE’RE noobs will kick us when we try to join in. As much as I love gaming (right up there with weights, martial arts, and porn), I never could do that “take a day off work to play a new game/system” shit. Something ALWAYS fucked that up ever since the Dreamcast came out and I took the launch day off to try to enjoy that Powerstone and Soul Calibur awesomeness: hot water heater rupture/car’s starter needs replacing/somebody needs to go to the hospital, but wants to be driven/12’ 4x4 posts break on fence and need replacing…it’s always SOMEthing.

Tidbits from Arekkz Gaming’s interview with Monster Hunter: World producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Yuya Tokuda at Gamescom 2017

Size of the Open World

Tokuda: “At the time we started developing Monster Hunter: World, there were some open world games out, but not as many as now, and certainly before Zelda was seen by anybody. For a lot of them, their selling point was the size of the open world, even if it was empty. So we weren’t going for breadth, but depth; we don’t have one big open map, but each map is open within itself and we want to go for breadth of detail within each map, so we’re not really going after the same thing.”

Quest Rank Structure

Tokuda: “We do have the same sort of Low Rank, High Rank structure, but in the older titles when you go to High Rank, the story was no longer a concern, but this time we want to make sure the story continues on a thread throughout High Rank. One big difference in the structure is that there’s no longer a separation between village hall and gathering hall quests—that distinction doesn’t exist anymore. You get a quest and you can choose whether to play it solo or online.”

Ryozo: “I think we’ve made a nice, meaty story for you guys and as mentioned, it’s something that carries throughout the entire game, so it should be a lot of fun.”

Four Players Maximum

Ryozo: “It is a four-player game. There is no secret eight-player mode, just one to four players. But we are putting little hints in the trailers where we show you a little tease of something and then we will follow up later in the campaign to give you more details.”

Downloadable Quests

Ryozo: “We’re going to continue with [the series’ traditional] free downloadable content support, but one difference coming to home console is that in the past, for portable consoles you would download the quest yourself, to your own console, but when we have a home console, we have the opportunity to do something like a time limited quest where people have to jump on during a certain time to do the quest. We have more creative opportunities for how to bring you the downloadable content.”

Collaborations

Tokuda: “We have lots of cool ideas for collaborations, so we will announce them when they are ready to be announced.”

Temporary Monster Companions

Tokuda: “We have this new system where there are these native cat creatures in the environment and unlike the previous games you only have one Palico companion that can come on a quest with you, but your Palico can make friends with these native cats, who will teach them the language of the (smaller) monsters. Once they learn a few words, your Palico will be able to make friends with a (small) monster and temporarily join forces with it.”

Ryozo: “It’s a situational thing though, they won’t join you forever, so make the most of it when it happens.”

16-Player Lobby

Tokuda: “The lobby is 16 players. You have your gathering area where you can see them on screen, in their hunter garb, but even when you’re not in the gathering area and are out in the hub town, visiting shops and things, the chat is persistent even if you can’t see them. When you return to the gathering hall, you’ll see everyone is there, you can talk to them, choose a quest, and head out.”

On the Possibility of a Weapon Testing Room

Ryozo: “Who can say… wait and see…”

Tokuda: “We do know it’s important to make it easier for people to test out the weapons, so we have thought of that.”

Egg Quests

Tokuda: “There are egg quests, but the way you carry the egg is a little different now. The previous egg quests were stressful and frustrating in the way you couldn’t do anything while you were holding the egg. There’s a more ‘action friendly’ way of holding the eggs now.”

Character Customization

Ryozo: “We have beards… We can’t promise 100 percent fidelity, but we do have options. The character creator is more detailed than ever. We haven’t shown it yet, but maybe sometime later we’ll have a chance to go through it together on a build and you can see just how much more detailed it is than before.”

Favorite Weapon Moves

Ryozo: “The Hammer has a new move where, if you’re charging while sliding down on an incline, you can let go and pull off a really cool attack.”

Tokuda: “I like the fact that with the Switch Axe, whenever you awaken your phials, during the elemental discharge you actually plunge your blade.”

The following highlights are from a Game Spark play report from a recent Monster Hunter: World demonstration event that was held at Capcom’s Tokyo office.
[list]
[*] The “meals” that increase all stats can now be eaten at the camp. This time around it won’t be Felynes cooking up your meals, but a receptionist.

[*] Player and Felyne equipment is changeable at camp.

[*] Fields have several camps, and players will get to start from any place.

[*] A fast-travel feature will let you travel from the map to camp.

[*] Stamina won’t decrease until you find a Large Monster. You practically get to run forever until you run into one.

[*] The popular monster Rathalos was exceptionally difficult in the demonstration. His attack patterns are mostly the same from what we’ve seen in the series, but his movements look more realistic than ever.

[*] The Insect Glaive will be different than before, as players will get to freely mix and match a staff and Kinsect of your choice. You’ll also be upgrading them separately.

[*] Adjustments have been made for all weapons.

[*] Capcom is currently on a completion check stage. Since there’s a lot of volume to the game, there are some parts that might need some extra adjustments after checking.

[*] The developers want players to try out all kinds of weapons during quests, and to make this a possibility both melee and ranged weapons will share armor in Monster Hunter: World. However, there will be some differences between the two weapon types. Depending on the type of weapon you choose, you’ll have different characteristics. For example, melee weapon-users will have damage reduction added to their armor while gunners will have elemental damage reduction added to theirs.

[*] PS4 Pro support won’t only be about the 4K resolution but there will also be options for improved framerates or better picture.

[*] Players who join “Distress Signal Quests” online will see a balance in rewards when joining midway.
