MH4 info (mostly confirmed now)

First topic message reminder :

Rumors but they have gotten a few things correct before:

http://stickskills.com/2012/07/04/monster-hunter-4-details/

A spider! The beetle stick looks like one hell of a weapon! As a bug lover, this looks like my game :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

o.O looks bigger than jhen maybe in the same family?

According to the Youtube comments, MH4 will have online?

yes a article on 4gamer.net confirms online

First about the video... it's beautiful..

2nd, the new monsters.. the Spider, the main black mist spewing guy... nice..

everything else.. I'm going to miss the water combat but I think I am good with everything that's been added.

/watch?v=r_mTJtX5geE&feature=player_embedded

More in-depth look at the gameplay. Absolutely cannot wait for hunting insect, will definitely be my main weapon in mh4, no doubt about it.

What I get from that trailer.
1. New G.Desert Lao Shan type monster
2.Dark Element... I think.
3. More movements and freedom.
4. OMFG GIANT NEPTOREON SPIDER MOSNTER!!@!1 RUUUNNNN
5. Felynes... with tanks?

And the list goes on... definetly this has to get to the west...
Ok maybe it will get here in 2014

World's not a seamless as we thought. Just an open plains looking level.

Yeah, I expected that much.
Never thought it'd be seamless.

So... it's hitting Japan in March; and is to feature online play.

Wait wat. Why would they include online play to the Japanese audience who don't need it? Unless of course... they plan to release it here... :O

Except we get MH3U here in March. I'd actually be annoyed to get both too close to each other.

But it took about 2 years for us to get 3G, so we likely won't get a localized version for a while. Capcom is still pretty precarious about releasing monster hunters in the west because they know it won't do as well as it would in japan, so unless the game is really innovative and different and has plenty of content they will probably second guess localizing it. Not saying mh4 isn't westernize ready, but they may want to see how mh4 does in japan first and then see what needs to be improved for it to kick off in the west.

Year and a half. Not even. (Which is the same time 3G adopters have between 3G and 4, and with HD there's only a 4 month gap)

So, if that keeps up, we'd have 3G and HD for a year and half before 4. I played 3 like crazy for longer than a year and a half. I'd prefer to wait longer before 4, honestly.

^ Actually just a little over a year for the 3ds version of 3G/MHU and ... well less than 3 months for MHU on the WiiU from it's release in Japan.. Beat to it...

Also... Hmmm, I'm curious.. MH3Ghd will come out in December in Japan... then MH4 will be released in March for the 3DS, both with online.. Yea, one on a home console and one portable.. but I wonder how that will affect the sales of each other (Help or hurt).....

Who knows.... Maybe we might end up seeing a 3rd MH game getting released here in the west before the end of the year....??

Just the thought of MH4 coming to america makes me feel exited, but I would like to play MHU at least a year before MH4.

wow, I never thought I would ask for a MH to not be realesed so soon x3

I want the spear stick/hammer/AWESOME STICK now, although not as much as a chainsaw longsword.

It might hurt... idk when 3g HD releases, but if its in the same month as 4 then it would hurt. Over here we get 3U on march, so if they are going to release 4 next year in the west, then they should wait until December maybe.

MH3G HD is a Wii U launch title (and bundle) in Japan. That gives them 3-4 months of online 3G before getting another online MH title.

MH4 live from TGS, someone posted these screenshots of the event to reddit. Yian Kut Ku is back beeeeotch

Spoiler:

 

Here is the video of the event, pay attention to what happens to tigrex when he "kills" it, looks like this new black dragon is a necromancer of sorts.

The picture at the end... My wish came true!

Haven't seen the video yet, watching it now.

ZOMBI MONSTERS

So, this Black necromancer monster... I'm sure it will be the cover monster.

Like G.Jaggi's new theme

Just a thought.

If that new necromancer dragon can re-animate the dead, what do you think it's armour skills will be? :o
