You've seen this Monster Hunter 4 trailer before, right? It's the same concept footage that was shown during Nintendo's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference in September. I'm sharing it again in light of some new information out of the latest Iwata Asks roundtable discussion.
While the bulk of the talk concerned the upcoming Monster Hunter 3G, Nintendo head honcho Satoru Iwata pressed Capcom director Kaname Fujioka for deets on the next big MonHun. Fans who have seen the trailer, myself included, might have thought the on-screen action was too scripted to be an actual battle scenario and was constructed for the sole purpose of building hype. Though gameplay specifics weren't mentioned, Fujioka was able to confirm that the trailer was a recording of staff members playing the game in real time.
Fujioka felt it was important to share actual development progress in the name of full disclosure, hence the very rough but cinematic trailer. Of course, the final game might turn out wildly different than what was in that footage, but at least this news further demonstrates the commitment by Capcom to really shake up the series' traditional gameplay style.
Unsure of the difference between 3G and 4, if they're being developed at the same time for the same system.
Always liked MH, wished they made another PSP one for NA.
This looks like a great step up from the usual MonHun formula, took them long enough to finally revamp the climbing system so it's not so tedious to just get your ass over a ledge. And jumping! Finally!
This along with another Rune Factory, New Zelda, OoT, and possible MM really makes me want a 3DS now. May want to get that Zelda 3DS. Unless they would make a Metroid themed 3DS...doubt it though. /sadface
Santa Monica said the same thing about that trailer with Kratos making a wall run, leaping and falling into a Centaur, all in an island that is constantly moving, chained to Mount Olympus and about to fall. I dare you to find that segment in God of War 3.
Hey capcom, can we get another monster hunter for a console? I don't even care which one. I've played the hell outta tri and not everybody digs handhelds. There is already one of the psp titles getting the ps3 treatment, but so far it looks like japan only.
I never got into this series and I don't really understand why. When I first read about the original for PS2 I was giddy and looking forward to it, but here we are on the cusp of MH4 and I've played no more than about half an hour of Monster Hunter Portable.
I think I'll pick up MH3G if it comes out here. MH4 if not.
And considering MH sold great on the PSP and Capcom enjoy money, it'll probably come to the Vita. But if it doesn't guess where you can go? :D To the store, to buy a 3DS.
Pisses me off, when you guys run out of "HAS NO GAMES LOL" arguments, and the 3DS gets a decent "exclusive" (maybe), you get all "HMPH wud be better on Vita!". Same happened with Revelations. Well, tough shit. It isn't.
Such a tease! I have to deny my excitement for any new MH news until it gets a western release annoucement. I've imported too many MH games and dealt with too many unfinished english patches. 3G, 4 and a second nub is all I ask for on 3DS (...for now:P)
I expect the final release build to be far better than this, and that's saying something.
Because as good as this is, it is fairly early in development at this point I would imagine and will only continue to improve.
...this is the reveal trailer, right? I'm basing this comment on that, as I haven't seen any other videos since TGS.
"Sonic's Sh*tty Friends" ought to be an official club name by now. If the club organizers actually collected membership dues, they might even be able to fund a new SEGA console!
