Watch the end.. it's a returning monster but in a new way.

Daoraa <3 <3 <3

I'm so happy that they are bringing back a lot of old favorites especially Kushala <33333 I on't see anything new dcj >.> they only showed it hovering down other than maybe the weather clearing up instead of it getting worse xD

Sweet Crunchy Jesus in a Kit Kat Bucket this looks AWESOME.

what happens if you take MHFU and 3U, mix them and then add a ton of bugs and frogs?

MH4.


I am sold, please bring this to the west nintendo x.x

I'm gonna mount so many monsters...
LANDSHAAAARKKK!!!..

But the graffix suck so much


/sly/

^ I see what you did there... (dcj goes into a really long explanation) and then supplies it's not what everyone thought.. Just like that right?


Any ways.. there is some amazing detail on a lot of the game that has been shown so far in previous vedios and pics and this one.. yea.. a few ground and background textures seem to take a hit but overall, I'm not so sure that matters. I also want to see how those ground and backgrounds look in 3D before I really make any judgements.

^That's what she said.


Anywho... Back to being mature. Was it me or did there seem to be a small felyne village? -slaps lalo for mentioning 3U- I rather comp[are it to tri over any other third gen game the rest were too easy and I don't think this one will be as easy to speed through like 3U or p3 were I feel like a LOT of time will be invested before finishing our final urgent.

Gravios seems to be able to use his laser to greater effect than in unite this should be fun...

I mentioned 3U for content, and since lagombi is there I think we can assume that Rangu and Aoshira are going to be there as well, and none of them are in tri.

God no o.o, please don't be as easy as 3U, I want that even low rank provides a challange T_T

Well I think it's safe to assume it will only be high rank and low rank if it is I hope they really make it like tri's I would say MH1 but that game is pure evil xD

Oh man, Daora coming back makes me so happy but more importantly......

BUUUUUUUUUUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graphics really haven't mattered to MH, but with MH3U and the new MHOL, but i hope that when the game is released it at least looks like 3ds mh3u (not that its that great).

Teostra is conirmed too! guess is safe to say that lunastra will be there too. Hope alatreon makes an apperance

For anyone wondering, here's the Teo confirmation Lalo is referencing.





So I guess we can also probably call this a Lunastra confirmation as well.

Since I am likely skipping 3U, I am super excited about 4 coming (if it does). It looks like it will be a long wait though. Anyone care to guess when we might see it?

Holiday 2013 or spring 2014.. We will likely hear an announcement at E3. Part of the delay for Japan's release of it is due to looks, the release of 3U here in the west and possibly to decrease localization time between there and the west.

Nintendo has speed up the process quite a bit of late.

I like your guess (and reasoning) better than mine. I was thinking fall 2014 at the earliest. I really do hope we hear something concrete at E3.

I'm currently trying to plan my gaming life. So far I have:

wait one week for animal crossing.
play animal crossing til pokemon comes out.
play pokemon til MH4 comes out.
play MH4. alot.

^ I have other reasons for that time frame as well.. Ones that would benifit Nintendo greatly at this time. Regardless of MH4 being for the 3DS it will be a huge selling force, we know in Japan for sure and if the increase sales of MHtri and now MH3U have shown here in the west as well.. and with enough fan fair and hype and putting a close release between it in Japan and the west it could do a lot to help Nintendo with the upcoming releases of the ps4 and XboxOne. The increase in sales MH4 will bring for the 3DS will take away sales from higher cost home consoles and if nintendo is able to get some really good games announced for the wiiu as well and maybe even special holiday pricing for it... well the combination of a lower wiiu price with some amazing games and MH4 in japan and in the west with special edition 3DSxl's all costing less than the new playstation or xbox....

Let's face it.. people are going to buy MH4 and a 3DS/XL for it.. if they already planned on picking up a home console and relized that they can get MH4, a 3DSxl special edition, a WiiU bundled with a game and possibly a new zelda/metroid game all for less than a PS4 or xBox one... a lot of people might be compeled to do it if Nintendo can get more titles for the WiiU out...

So MH4 Holiday this year in the west or early spring 2014 just makes sense to me... As did delaying MH4 in japan when I stated it long before they announced it's delay... Now... we just have to wait and see if it makes sense to Capcom and Nintendo as well...

Well, consider me hyped for this game. I've not fought anything before Tri, so all of the returning monsters are 'new' to me. And thanks to the new gameplay changes, those monsters movesets had to be completely reworked, so they won't seem as clunky as Plesioth in MH3U.
Also hoping that this game is hard as nails.
I really hope it is a spring release too, or sooner. I'd gladly upgrade to a 3DSxl just for this game!

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU ALL OVER THE SOUND OF MY

MOTHER FUCKING ROCKET HAMMER

Spoiler:

Drill to the heavens man.. drill to the heavens!!!

Is it me or does it look almost as bloody as mhp2ndg?
