Not being stationary all the time with the GS it's a good thing in my book.

Best thing was being able to have a secondary weapon attached to your mount that you could switch to almost immediately

[@TheRiz1205]

Two Heavy Bowguns for sure.

[@itsturniptime3699]

The only downside is way later in the game it’s not really reasonable to swap between a melee and ranged weapon due to how you invest in armour skills, unless they change that system completely so you can either save armour loadouts to the swap or armour has more skills than the usual 2-3

[@ShaolinJaster]

I'm honestly surprised he's still hung up on the open world idea, what I got from the blog/official MH Wilds website is it'll still have the traditional separated maps (aka locales) of previous MH games but you'll be able to stay behind after a completed quest and just naturally transition into another monster quest if you want to. So rather than going full open world they are essentially combining the quest/expedition systems we had in MH World.

[@home_taping]

Yeah that's exactly the vibe I'm getting. It's going to be a more fleshed out and larger version of Guiding Lands from World.

[@Andyisgodcky]

@@home_taping I always got the feeling that the Guiding lands is what they originally wanted expeditions to be, but couldn't for whatever reason. Or maybe they took the original idea and fleshed it out far better, and Wilds will have an even further evolved system than the GL

[@RoaringTide]

Yep I thought the same. The blog says that the Windward Plains is the "first locale" the team will visit, implying a separation of locales.

[@darthvaderreviews6926]

World actually has the same option to stick around after a quest, it's just that hardly anyone used it. With a few QoL adjustments it could be the main way people play, though

[@TheUruse]

I get the impression of PSO2 NGS. It's just one big map with different locales which to be honest I'm not really pumped if that's the case.

Two new features in weapon switching and mounted combat (Can you say Lance actually being able to Joust a monster?), and even that alone would make it top tier but the fact that they're teasing out the weather system slowly but surely is great to see. Hopefully if we get a trailer in Winter sometime it'll show off how the weather effects can change monsters.

According to the official site the mount monster is called a "Seikret" and it can take you to places on the map or the objective. It also like the Palamute from Rise lets you sharpen and heal while riding it on top of being able to swap between your other weapon and use your Slinger while riding.

[@Suirioujin]

[@TheEthanGamer]

Cool mechanic in MH games now, wouldn't say it's an "insane" mechanic. Lol

[@ShinKyuubi]

@@TheEthanGamer As someone who started playing MH on PSP with MH2, it is quite insane. World added a LOT of quality of life improvements to help bring in more players and just being able to swap weapons at the camp was a huge change up. Being able to take two weapons into the field and switch at will mid-hunt via your mount is indeed "insane" compared to what I was used to back in the day.

[@alondite215]

@@TheEthanGamer Given the variety and depth of MH's various weapons and overall combat, yeah, it kind of is, actually. It _dramatically_ alters how you're going to be able to approach hunts.

[@Mikedot]

@@ShinKyuubi It's a cool new addition for sure, but it just seems a bit hyperbolic to say its an "insane" new feature, since it's a single step up from simply going back to your camp and switching weapons from there. Now if you could switch weapons on-the-fly, like actually switch you weapon right where you stand with out having to pull it out of your mount's bag or anything, THAT would be insane (and probably busted)

[@ShinKyuubi]

@@Mikedot Before World you didn't even have the option of switching at camp, you went to camp to sleep or deliver quest items like eggs and stuff...that was about it. There wasn't a tent to go in and swap things out or anything like that just what amounted to a big lean-to like thing with a big bed for four hunters to sleep on. Just being able to swap weapons at the camp was a huge step, not even having to go back to the camp is not as low key as your making it for someone who's played the older MH games. That's something we would have only dreamed of while hurling paintballs at monsters and having to worry about carrying bug nets and pickaxes that could break after a couple of uses.

[@JorgeM270]

The language on the website still calls them locales. I think the maps are still separate. I prefer them being separated. To make the transition from one biome to another, the map has to be pretty massive. Keeping the locales separate actually makes it feel much more natural.

I still think your hunter isn’t going to talk all that much. Keep in mind that past monster hunter games had like 10 to 20 different voices for both Male and Female players (plus the multiple different languages) so I highly doubt they’ll give full dialogued scripts for ton of people to say the same exact thing for the same characters.

[@castlecrashed7700]

11:30 They never said that there isn't a new weapon coming, just that the original 14 are returning. we still have from now until sometime 2025 whenever the game releases (and possibly the expansion (assuming we get one like past games)) to get confirmation. There is a chance that we genuinely get no new weapons, but I'm hoping for tonfa's.

[@PathFinder1490]

10:59 I’m all for new hunting weapon types, but finally allowing two interchangeable weapons mid-hunts is a more welcome mechanic!

[@chwig7354]

I'm hesitant on that. Feel like it's going towards a fast paced 'MH: Rise' kind of feel instead of a more reserved 'master your weapon' kind of deal. was hoping the latter.

[@RoaringTide]

@@chwig7354 I don't really understand how this can make the game faster. You can probably only switch while mounted, or at least stood next to your mount (maybe only outside of combat). It's not like you're gonna be able to swing a greatsword and then switch mid-combo to dual blades. You can only use one weapon at a time. And from what we've seen so far, the GS moves have a pacing similar to World. I think the only real way the combat might feel faster is due to the mount being able to rescue you from a knockdown.

[@strawberrysundaes]

@@RoaringTide Greatsword Main here since the very first MH game. I think the pacing for the weapons will be similar to Rise and GU rather than World. It seems it'll have the adept-style charge forward from GU which does give it a little more speed and mobility. I think it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds. The bowgun on the saddle of the thing you ride seems the most interesting to me. As you said, what if only while mounted? As soon as you leave you go back to your main weapon. We have lots of questions and little answers.

[@RoaringTide]

@@strawberrysundaes When I said only while mounted, I didn't mean maybe you can ONLY use the secondary weapon while mounted. I meant maybe you can only SWITCH to it while mounted. You could still get off and use the secondary in that case. But my point was that if you can only switch while mounted, then I fail to see how that changes speed of combat. It would only change flexibility on a particular hunt (i.e. your secondary is better against a particular target). The actual speed would still be dictated by whatever your current weapon can do.

[@KhangNguyen-ij4xh]

@@chwig7354tbh we have not seen a full 1-on-1 hunt yet. I think the combat will be waaaay slower, even if you still have some flashy moves. What I’m more concern with is the bird Wirefall, bird sharpening and bird chugging. Dog sharpening and dog chugging was bad enough in Rise since it basically let you heal and sharpen while running at full speed. It should not return at all

[@khalil8043]

You guys didn't pay attention to the part where the handler said " let this hunt commence, by order of the guild" that literally authorization to hunt the monster because you don't have one in the first place!! Meaning there's no quest counter, there's also the mention of "encounter" "discover " , this is not a normal monster hunter scenario where you take quests and hunt monsters, this is more like an expedition where you go discover the new locals

[@micahfurlow2624]

it sounds less like an open world and more like they'll integrate quests into expeditions from world, where you can finish a quest and still keep exploring or go into an expedition for a quest.

[@Franklii21]

@@khalil8043 They could have literally been in the expedition quest to investigate a certain monster after finding its hints of it like world, there is literally no need to even mention what quest they are on inside a trailer. Encounter and discover has been there since 4U's expedition and world heavily used that concept in both monsters and locals. Also that line literally means nothing other than scenarios between: 1. The guild gave permission to hunt the monster on site if needed and It was deemed by the handler as too dangerous and must be subjugated at once or 2. a normal battlecry where people have that one liner that starts the fight. Many games and stories have that one dude that says "by the authority given by blah blah, we must hunt this blah blah" and similar lines like that commonly found in fantasy genres. Dunno why you think that's a gigantic revelation

Man, I wish Max would stop acting like he's an MH expert eventhough he only played World and Rise. I love his FF7 videos and kinda disappointed to see he dismiss the story as all MH stories are bad. He also viewed this game as a departure from the classic MH formula, but in reality every new MH game shakes up the formula, like World, Rise, 4U, GU, etc. He commented that there's no familiar monsters yet other than Rathalos. Well, yeah, its a new Monster Hunter game, meaning more new unfamiliar monsters, like all the games before. And then speculated Wilds will be open world, neglecting to read that the game will consists of Hunting Locals as usual.

[@radicalbutton3988]

I started in World, but even I know that this is normal for MH. What kinda gets me is that when he switched to the other trailer he was concerned about FRAMERATE.

[@flamepunk8683]

It kinda seems to be that world/the people world brought onto the series, have encouraged a mindset where all the previous games are viewed as antiquated or not worth any time, which ignores a huge amount of incredible game design and art, seemingly just because world and wilds are pushing high fidelity as their focus.

[@1meen1]

Just wanted to say that it's not about the visuals, as it is about the limitstions the older games have. You have to travel across multiple areas multiple times during a hunt, and having to hit a loading screen with each area can be quite annoying if you're coming from MH World. ​@@flamepunk8683

I feel the missions will be like world where you'll get told to explore X area and then encounter monster and return to base and repeat. Then the questboard works as normal if you fail or want to farm for parts. One thing I'm iffy on is having two weapons. Cause some weapon builds are super different so when you go from Hammer to Gun will your armor/skills auto change to loadout 2 or swap your whole armor set? Will you have to make a build that works for 2 different weapons? Or Min max 1 weapon and make do with the secondary (Min Max on Hammer but start dagger to cut tail then bash head in)? Also still hopeful for a new weapon at some point in the future.

[@loganwernicke7604]

I think that it's a good sign that it still has 6+ months to go. Even though it seems like it's not really close to done there is a lot that can be done in 6+ months especially with a large team. With that in mind I'm really excited to see how this will turn out.

Also, I did anyone else notice that he had a grapple early in the trailer, and that he launched the flare from his wrist? I don't see a Slinger, so maybe they've improved on that technology? New attacks for weapons make me hopeful that modular movesets are coming back. C'mon, Capcom, even if you take away Blast Dash, at least give us Gunlance mains some form of mobility!

Now I get why they call it "Wilds", meaning the Wild West. The motif and designs give it all away.

[@manbat4582]

or just the wilderness. There's nothing cowboy about this, yet

[@ozgarzon3931]

I don't know if it's just me, but I keep thinking that it is quite suspicious that on the rock in the "center of the map" when there is a storm, something or someone is permanently illuminating it. New Ancient Dragon Maybe?

[@theadmiral4157]

In this trailer, we got new counter attack for great sword, Alma made everyone think she's the world handler in her 30s. We also got the ace lancer getting someone to do an expedition. Overall, MH wilds is promising Oh and this is the first time our hunter actually has a story

[@RobertAniFreak]

3:02 This reminds me of a really old Mechanic from Vindictus, If you play Karok you can grab a enemy and hold him in place for a few seconds while your allies deal free damage to enemy

[@Lunardivider24]

This is how sequels should be made. take parts from previous entries, tweek them as necessary then add the sauce that makes it unique.

@@Foogi9000 That sucks.

[@Foogi9000]

@@thesamuraiman It's all fun and cool for the first 50+ hours but what about the next 500+? These aren't games where you stop after 100 or so hours and often a character can go into the literal thousands of hours. Do you want to hear the same dialogue over and over for your entire playthrough? Especially if it's just constantly spewing cat puns? With previous games it was better because they sounded like cats and there was a charm to that.

Based on everything we know so far, the one thing going through my mind is "damn, ain't no way this game will run on my Steam Deck."

[@HeyMyNameIs...]

I love the variations in monster hunter games right now. We have World with it's insane environments and content filled gameplay and than we have the pocket huge game of Rise with very fast moving combat and quicker fights.

[@kinetickyber]

It seems like there will still be zones, but larger than world. At least I think that is what their site says

[@jamielee5695]

I think you'll still have the hub and have choice to go back once the quest you're on is complete and select a new one from there, or stay in the wilds and organically find a quest

[@NowakP]

It's so weird to me that having story and speaking characters in MH _still_ feels wrong. It's a natural... evolution with the current video game market, but it just feels out of place in this game 🤣

[@lucianoherrera6242]

What we really need are Locales with big, BIG spaces, so we dont have to worry about "Monster Size" anymore, World really fumbled that bag with making the Locales big, yet with little space to do battle in a vast part of it, resulting in clipping monsters and worse, not having some really important ones like Lagiacrus or Gammoth

[@angellara7040]

They might just not wanted gammoth as she was the least popular of gens flagships and lagi was because of the uneven ground not because of space. Dd2 seemed to not have that problem with Medusa

[@martialfarts31692]

His view of the Playstation Blog didn't have the accompanying images that really helped visualize some of the changes. For example The "Focus Mode" images showed red scoutflyes hovering over different body parts. The hunter hit one part with a "Focus Mode" attack, then "dragged" the weapon to an adjacent scoutfly marked body part (in the trailer, from the head to the arm. In the blog, from the head to the rear leg). I recommend going back and looking at the blogpost yourself or their main website for more visuals if you want more

[@Cos416]

The hits don't look like they make the same impact.. yet. But it does look awesome! I can't wait.

[@OriginalBosss]

That noise right here 2:45 is highly reminiscent of Beyond Oasis sword slashing on the Sega Genesis/Saturn it's modified but sound like it so much

[@genecook3571]

My Hunting Horn is throbbin with melodies of anticipation!!!

[@usamimi-no-majo]

I'm still not convinced on it being open world but the big thing, I think, will be "less corridors". That will definitely make the maps feel more open.

[@verdanteridium]

7:27 This reminds me of Exoprimal's Roadblock interaction, where a triceratops charge gets stuck in their shield and the two enter a stalemate until either a shield bash Roadblock wins via an ability use or shield break where shield health (likely to be run out of stamina in MonHun) runs out. Looks like well be getting that for at least Greatsword (Lance, GLance and Chargeblade, cause I'd eat my hat if Lance doesn't get a cinematic block when Greatsword does) It such a unique interaction, the option to hold a monster still for several seconds at least gives shield based weapons an excellent tool for other player's dps. [Speculation not expectation] Likely, each guarding weapon will have a conditional counter. GS needing enough stamina to charge their counter, CB needing phials, GL needing one of its alt fire (Wyvernfire or wyvernstake, perhaps selecting via inputs) and for Lance...super guard to hold the monster for even longer. Charged Counter Discharge Counter Wyyvernfire/stake counter "HOOOOOOOOOOLD!" Probs just a GS thing sadly, maybe even a switchskill equivalent just to rub salt in my dreams

[@dutchielander2478]

I hope they stick the small monster catching and side quests in this like World had. It made the world feel so alive with all the side content. Get ready for the grind my dudes.

[@dragondaddykushala7133]

So apparently it's still going to be separate zones and each zone's going to have three different cycles where it's abundant Life and then harsh and then extremely harsh environments where only the toughest monsters are surviving

[@zapzapfox]

5:09 Max is describing Fallout 76, a server only has 24 people on it but its a MASSIVE open world map. And just as he describes, you may or may not run into someone and you can call for help but otherwise you can do your own thing unimpeded (for the most part) Edit: Also the "seperate zones for hunting" I've seen mentioned is also present - they're called Expeditions, and they literally load you into another area for the mission.

[@MattashiComposer]

I’m guessing there will be a hub where you can choose quests but like if you’re out exploring and you encounter a monster you can also get quests that way?

[@jbenjinh]

I'm thrilled that quests are started organically by setting off into the wilds and seeking out monsters now, like a real adventure. Several of my friends tried picking up MHW only to set out on an expedition, hunt a monster, and get confused when it left the area as it got low on health. The game punished you for playing it the way it ought to be played intuitively. Here's hoping this also fixes multiplayer to make it seamless to play with friends.

[@FieryAnubis]

Weapon swapping, a mechanic I won't use because I'm a one weapon guy. Unless they allow me to carry two sets of DB. Now that's exciting actually.

[@FireStormUnleashed]

I would imagine you can equip any secondary weapon out of your arsenal that you want. So yeah two different element weapons of the same type will probably be possible

[@FieryAnubis]

@@FireStormUnleashed Nice. If that's the case then yeah, I'm gonna love it.

[@MLPdraedek]

I’m going to lose my mind if at Summer Games Fest they reveal at least the elder dragon roar and it turns out to be Shantien

[@zackfitz1033]

I think a good way also to put it, is it looks like hitting the monster you actually deal damage with each hit so this might be kinda crazy

[@Gigastro]

My fantasy is to vault with the insect glaive and plunge with an air attack with a greatsword. Might not be a thing tbf, but one can dream to change weapons mid air

[@QuaseemS]

As a greatsword main I’m excited to be able to carry 2 great swords in each hunt!
