I love world, it's almost everything I ever wanted from monster hunter. Where it falls down for me is the monster variation. Too many Dinos, dragons and wyverns, not enough giant spiders, bugs or giant bunny bears and shit. 

[HarMGM]

Let's hope this one rectifies that issue.

[Captain Kelsten]

There's a monster hunter direct on right now. 

[moosegrinder]

Monster Hunter: Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2

[Melon_Bread]

Was made for me this direct, amazing stuff, both games shoot right to the top of my most wanted list.

[HarMGM]

Yeah, both of those looked quite excellent. Very interested in getting both.

[ChewMagma]

Monster Hunter Rise looks great.

Rise looks AMAZING in this respect. There was more colour on show in those 5 minutes than in the entirety of World. I thought I saw Great Wroggi for a second, and got excited for the cowboy armour, but it was just the new guy. Still ... DAY ONE!

[shirubagan]

Breath of the Monster Wild Calamity Hunter: Nintendogs Edition looks bloody excellent. Day one.

[moosegrinder]

Wolf mounts, man. Fucking metal.

[Bojangle]

In for both of these, they look great. I was a big fan of Stories on the 3DS so well up for more of that. 
 

The three amiibo’s they’re doing look excellent too. Bastards. 

[Sarlaccfood]

Rise looks absolutely brilliant. 
 

 

Not too fussed about the anime one though. 

[Ste Pickford]

I missed Stories on the 3DS, but this one looks lovely.  I'm probably going to give the other one a go, and try again to get into a proper Monster Hunter games, but it does look a bit dark and drab, especially compared to the RPG one.

[Keyboard Koala]

So is this the real Monster Hunter 5 then?

[wretcherd]

This looks so good, love the additions from World/Iceborne with no separate zones, how they have expanded on the clutch claw and riding animals.

Wonder how much of the other streamlining such as inventory stuff will be included.

[ryodi]

The new Amiibo are so cool

 

 

Hopefully they release enough of them here that I can grab them. The original MH Stories Amiibo are some of the best in the series. 

[Mafro]

Yes I will be getting this version

 

 

[Keyboard Koala]

Looks awesome!

 

Chances of actually getting one are probably small though.

 

And magnamalo looks a lot like the gore magala from MH4.

 

 

 

[Lovelyman]

Love it

It's not up on the store yet unfortunately.

[Nobuo's Organ]

Gaijin hunter's trailer analysis is well worth a watch, so many little details called out and info about how Japanese culture has informed the design of things:

 

 

[Exit Chamber]

This looks excellent. Hyped!

[Keyboard Koala]

God, is this how the scalpers play their dirty games now?

 

MH Rise has just been made available on the nintendostore, and somehow I cannot log into my account anymore, which I accessed just an hour ago. Incredible  

[ryodi]

I knew putting them in the normal Nintendo store would be too much to ask

 

 

[Keyboard Koala]

Yeah, Nintendo is seriously starting to get on my nerves with all these store-exclusive releases.

 

 

 

Uses the excellent RE Engine apparently.

 

Quote

Monster Hunter Rise is an all-new Monster Hunter experience developed for the Nintendo Switch. The game provides a completely fresh take on the hunting experience through new mechanics such as the wirebug, a wire-based grappling action that allows players to traverse dangerous or rocky terrain at high speeds, as well as with the debut of new hunting partners called palamutes. The game is currently being developed with Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine in order to provide a new, approachable Monster Hunter experience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere and with anyone.

Few more details:

 

– Built upon the idea of seamless exploration of Monster Hunter World
– Players and monsters can move between areas without loading screens
– More creatures will be shown in the coming months
– There will be more free content after launch
– Using RE Engine
– Targeting 30 frames per second
– Traditional but fresh Monster Hunter experience
– Retains all of the DNA of the Monster Hunter series
– Not a spin-off title, but a main series game
– The Monster Hunter team is more interested in naming the products in a way that represents what they have to offer, hence they didn't number it

Might sound strange to talk about preference in terms of naming conventions but I prefer what they’ve done with the last 3 mainline titles now as opposed to boring numbered entries.

 

Generations -> featuring content from all the years of MH so far.

World -> One big seamless map to give it a more open world feel.

Rise -> Verticality & Mobility being a big focus.

[SozzlyJoe]

Do we know if it is going to be 'new style' with scoutfiles, infinite whetstones, etc. or still old school MH just with seamless maps?
