at least we're finally getting some Monster Hunter action.

I know.

I just don't like that its taken so long, on top of what we as fans have had to go through to get there.

...and on another note, I keep forgetting to mention the box art. It looks pretty nice. The action shot from MH3G's box art would've been nice enough, but its nice to see a Monster Hunter case cover of a different sort, seeing as I believe all of the box art for previous games has been an action shot. (Tigrex on MHF2 (iirc), Nargacuga on MHFU and Lagiacrus on MHTri)

Not sure why they opted for Azure Rathalos, though. I guess when in doubt, they revert back to what I suppose is the flagship monster of the franchise.

2 things in response to that last entry above

1) alot of fans thought that tri was the last MH we would ever see outside japan. I sure as hell rather have a new game come out later than never. With all the crap that MHtard outside of japan give capcom for literatly every lil' move they make, i'm surprised capcom even considered an american release anything.

2) Dcjaja already explained the whole marketing thing In other regions. there are thing that just dont need any introduction in one region yet need o be sold off more in others due to that lesser market.
That would be like 'murica trying to pawn Jersey shore, larry the cable guy, or the word "YOLO" to other countries. We get those stuff, people that don't even like either 3 know what they are because its part of our popular culture. sell it off elsewhere where only a fraction of a fraction of the population knows what it is and its not going to do so well without something relatable.

SO yea again, as dcjaja said, it is a great marketing stratagem they pulled off with the color scheme. and visually, its more appealing anyways. not more badass looking, but more appealing to the untrained eye

Capcom can also be called the worst gaming company in a few other ways too. You remember that whole farce with Mass Effect 3 on EA's part involving day 1 DLC? Capcom do similar antics quite a lot, iirc, with the newer Devil May Cry or something. That woman who was bullied into suicide or some such after experiences with working for Capcom? That's pretty damn grim. But hey. Monster Hunter.

Relating to the box art...
I remember at the time when Bracchidios was shown, he was considered "out of place" and doesn't fit MH with his color scheme.

I can't recall when or where that took place, but I'm sure those guys will be happy that Bracchy isn't sticking out on the game's cover.






They should make a reversable boxart. /yes/

or do like they did with metroid prime trilogy and have the steel case with that traditional Mh hieroglyph-looking texture

and instead of a art pamphlet inside, have an epic poster with every MH monster to date

It will, likely 30 plays. So counter goes down each time you launch the demo.

All of that was posted at the top of the forums Main page the day it was announced... Some of it is changed now however.
