In Monster Hunter 4, the new Insect Staff is your very first weapon
[media=youtube]kLpwszCE18k[/media]
Capcom are emphasizing the adventurous aspect of Monster Hunter in Monster Hunter 4 , and one of the ways they’re doing this is by adding in more villages and a caravan (complete with a crew) that lets you travel between them.
Your hunting journey begins in a market town, known as Barubaré, where many travelers and their caravans get together to sell goods and gather information. There are various shops in town for players to find just about everything they need to start their adventure, such as equipment, items and more.
Barubaré is also where you’ll meet the leader, who will recruit you as part of his caravan troupe and provide you with an Insect Staff as your very first weapon. It looks like Capcom want players to get hands-on time with Monster Hunter 4’s brand new weapon class as soon as possible.
Aside from the leader, the caravan crew consists of his assistant, who acts as the quest receptionist; a traveling merchant; a blacksmith with his apprentice daughter; and finally, a cooking Felyne. They’ll help you every step of the way with their specialized skills, as you travel from land to land.

The second village in the game after Barubaré is called Naguri. Its volcanic surroundings make for an ideal place for blacksmiths to create their finest work.
There will be several villages other than the two revealed so far, which players will be able to visit upon completing certain quests and advancing in the game. These villages will have their own unique looks and characters.
Every new destination also means more unlocked features from the rest of your caravan members. Additionally, players will freely be able to return to any previous villages at any given time in the game.
Capcom discussed these details at the Tokyo Game Show back in September, where they also announced that Monster Hunter 4 would have online multiplayer on a portable system for the first time. You can watch their TGS presentation, which contains more footage from the game, above.

New Monster Hunter 4 Weapon Teased in Famitsu
http://i.minus.com/ibqOHApXZ3LI2R.jpg
They upped this image of it a couple hours ago.
Ugh this is so stupid. Put MH on PSN for 30 bucks and laugh yourselves to sleep on piles of money, Capcom.
Your fans don’t want to buy another console. Just let them play the game on the console they already have.
Truer words ne’er spoken. CAPCOM-Japan is stupid as fuck when it comes to MH, outside of Japan. It’s a good thing
le sigh
Atleast they finally made a HD MH for fuck’s sake, finally.
And MH4? LOL, go kill yourselves CAPCOM.

The way Capcom handles MH in the West is pretty fucking retarded.

MH4 would look SO good on the Vita. On the 3DS it looks more like a PSP game.

Monster Hunter 4′s New Weapon is the Charge Axe
http://i.minus.com/i5R4fXvg7uILa.jpg
The Charge Axe may look like a powerful weapon at first glance, but that’s not all. It can split between two modes: Sword Mode and Axe Mode.
In Sword Mode, players will hold a shield on the right hand and sword on the left. They can use the shield to guard, while using the sword for speedy attacks and combos. In this mode, players can charge energy from accumulated hits to releases a sword and shield combined charge attack.
Players can gauge how much energy has been charged by taking a look at the bottle hanging on the hilt. When it starts glowing yellow, Charge Axe users can perform a charge attack. This can be taken to a higher level by attacking more to change it to a red glow, for a maximum damage charge attack! It is possible to continue attacking while switching to Axe Mode.
Axe Mode will have an advantage in power and reach, with an even stronger charge attack. Its regular attacks will have a powerful finisher that can stun the enemy. It will also be possible for players to continue attacking in Axe Mode while switching to Sword Mode.

Dat Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate footage is so beautiful
So they made a weapon that could transform between a sword and an axe, and then made another weapon… that can transform between a sword and an axe
obviously they aren’t the same but it feels a bit lazy/uninspired in typical capcom fashion. It could be fun though, switchaxe is my favorite weapon in the franchise

Since when can this happen!?!??

You might get hit with a surprise KO if you don’t heal up before jumping.

Lol…He did a super jump and got anti aired with a sweep. That sounds about on par with my bad luck in MH3 though…waltzing into the next area where everyone is fighting and getting hit with a meaty.
