This, and the Elden Ring DLC got me feeling like a kid waiting for Halo 3 to drop. Cant wait!

[@TAZMASTA40]

Fr man!

[@liondragon2815]

Hoping for a public demo , really want to get my hands on this early

[@alexanderk.8376]

Public Demo is most likely coming around August/September after Gamescom

[@Hefff228]

@@alexanderk.8376I’d say a month before release is more likely. So not until 2025, or potentially December.

[@KsnypsAdventures]

August 21st last time I checked

[@Cumbernumb]

They dont public demos like the portable anymore. World didn’t have one and Wilds most certainly won’t. If you want to try the Demo you’ll have to make the trip to Germany for Gamescon

[@KsnypsAdventures]

@@Cumbernumb no that’s just not true. World had a demo, Iceborne had a demo, rise had a demo, and Sunbreak had a demo. Not sure how accessible World and Iceborne’s were, but I literally downloaded Sunbreak’s for free on steam.

the 24/7 live streams of animals just doing there thing bouta go crazy like id probably just log on to watch the world and relax

[@jroc1176]

Oh, so true. Relaxing and watching everything in World/Iceborne is amazing. Also, I can’t wait to see what endemic life we can add to our homes.

[@blackstrings]

If they add capturing + cross breeding of these endemic life forms to generate materials 😅

[@ohmylawwwd2538]

The most interesting thing was the monster interaction with the endemic life. That could extend to making the hunt more immersive, seeing monsters actually traversing the seamless map across the different locales due to herd location or the transition to high/master rank. It would be more interesting than just seeing an unusual icon on the quest board. Maybe there'll be a cozy farming simulator side game beyond just capturing monsters and displaying them for one quest.

[@neonscorpion2981]

I hope they have a "Flooded Forest" zone! Where it's like the Ancient forest but then a mansoon or tide comes and floods the lower areas making you have to use upper paths to get around and ocean or water based leviathans swim into the forest to feed! That would be so amazing!

[@sansotandrea4063]

ngl, the more i hear about this game, the more i feel like they're making my dream game

[@MansMan42069]

reading their interviews since World, it's definitely the case that even the team is making the game they dreamed of when they played MH1.

[@sansotandrea4063]

@@MansMan42069 this has such a wholesome dimention to it, everything is coming together, i genuinely hope none of us is mistaken here and this games actually delivers.

[@TheLuckyDane]

i'm wondering if there will be a different type of "storm" in different biomes, like a flood in a water biome or an avalanche in a cold biome. Really hoping they take full advantage of extreme weather systems

[@El_zapiz]

I really hope we get different weather and each biome is gonna get an Apex monster unique to it that are also flagships like what we got with the fated four

[@weissl8283]

So basically, it's like a Jurassic Park but instead of the monster being the danger you the player is the danger because you're a walking extinction button.

[@Wordgoblin]

In regards to herbivores possibly moving away from an area, causing changes to carnivore behaviors: I also hope there's a reverse of that. I think it'd be super cool if we, the player, could drive herds of herbivores to certain areas, essentially creating an over abundance of food for a particular carnivore, maybe causing it to grow and get more dangerous, or something like that.

[@thephoenixfromtheashes]

Usually, more food just means more predators in the next generation

[@PenanceisNigh]

Ok, I like this idea because it also brings the point forward that you could drive a herd to an area with multiple environmental/player set traps and take advantage of the monster's hunger to get a big ambush on it while it's eating.

[@Inquisite1031]

if anything it sounds like something that wont translate very well into gameplay and it will just make the game tedious asf when everything goes everywhere and u can run out of monsters to hunt, hopefully it isnt as bad as it sounds, all these ecosystem things if it is not done properly sounds really bad from a gameplay perspective.

[@Wordgoblin]

@@Inquisite1031 Anything done poorly can be bad for gameplay. I'm sure that if such a mechanic were introduced (as talked about in the video, not my idea which won't be a thing I'm sure) that it would be really surface level and will amount to nothing but seeing some monsters in areas you wouldn't otherwise on occasion.

[@KyouOneZilla]

I'm assuming that once you start a hunt against a monster that only appears during specific weather events, it'll still be present once the weather event ends. OH WAIT WHAT? I CAN GET MY STARDEW VALLEY RANCHER LIVE ON????

[@jimmyjams5038]

It sounds like their seamless description is supposed to be like the maps in older games but no loading screens, except on a much larger scale to have several maps in one massive map.

[@danijelvincetic9861]

i really want a big swamp area (not like souls a poison one :)

[@Ninetails-ze8mc]

yeah that could have some incredible amphibians and crocs too

[@neko8074]

I want tetsucabra back!!!

[@Ninetails-ze8mc]

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

Monster Hunter 1 and 2 had them, hopefully we get a new one.

[@nekrumzero8117]

Kinda ironic that swamps became poisonous at night in gen 2.

[@apgdanielricardo8196]

I hope that they expand what traps can do to monsters. Like trying to shock trap a shock monster instantly makes it charged up (Zinogre) or monsters that go underground just swim through your pitfall trap and do a quick attack on you

[@mdsmatheus]

The world in MH Wilds being alive sounds very promising, it reminds me of Rain World. And Capcom finally changing the capture mechanic to something different than "different loot table" is extremely welcome as well, I do hope it's real I really want that. It'd be amazing if I could also use the monsters I capture to something other than just farm you know just like Seikret, but instead of only using the Seikret to run around I could use any monster each one of them with its intricacies, it would be a dream come true. Wilds is shaping up to be my favorite Monster Hunter ever. Once I can mount, ride and farm any monster I capture it my dream Monster Hunter will have been created. Oh yea and underwater combat!

[@klissattack]

The Apex predator becomes "more active" during thunder storms. That'd make me think you can still hunt them outside of the storms

[@evans178]

maybe they will only stay at or nearby their nest while there is no thunder storm

[@DruidicSage77]

So friggin stoked for this!!

[@crazydave9735]

Just friggin stroked to this!!

[@maxspecs]

I doubt we'd get it exactly, but the "2 forms of each biome" thing got me thinking of the Sunken/Volcanic Hollow from MH4, which were the same hunting map except one was filled with water while the other was full of lava.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

Area access will probably something like you can find interconnecting paths, but they won't be accessible until a certain point. They'll probably use narrow areas for traversal cutscenes to cleverly hide the loading screen between areas. Also wanted to add, my personal hype is for the smallest details. The maps on World and Rise has fun little secret areas to discover. Those are exactly what I'm most excited to be find In Wilds. And to fish*

[@bastianada2777]

Something I'd like to see and can imagine is with this weather system, in the snow map/biome area there could be powerful snowstorms that could recreate the one cutscene with gammoth and the blangonga. It will be awesome to see what they could do with the weather mechanic as it sounds thus far

[@nickdiz9512]

I hope they change how elemental damage works so more weapons can use them optimally

[@joerickrollfake2037]

god i loved just sitting down in Worlds and watching the day and night cycle pass after all my friends got off, the first Hub was amazing due to its high point, and during hunts you can find nice cozy spots aggressive wild life don't go though but rather walk next to or fly next to. nothing beats being some giant lizard slayer and just watching a king of lizards take a nap with zero interest of placing explosive barrels next to it.

[@Dakumun640]

[@ahoukun6044]

[@theshaggyavenger9607]

This just keeps getting better and better

[@antiheld7323]

A sandstorm season sounds like the perfect chance to reintroduce the sandstorm event from mh tri, making it possible to do ship hunts on jhen mohran

[@DeathlyArrows]

0:02 mh fan right now ... nah il be a fan tommorow xD

[@bygtyma05]

I started with MH Tri on wii. What about you guys?

[@DRAG0NSPIRIT10]

That was my starting point too :).

[@Griffsza]

We've only seen the first locale in the trailers that showcase the sandstorm weather effect. Just imagine what kind of weather effects the other locales will have (if any)! Thunderstorms and floods in a forest region Blizzards in a snowy region Maybe even a volcanic eruption in a region like Elder's recess with ash fall that limits vision!

[@cronosxxx1010matrixx]

If monster hunter wilds wants to really really succeed they should make is so you can climb rocks maybe with the grapple

[@aner_bda]

It really is sounding to me like Capcom is finally going to be able to make a hunting simulator game. It's something they tried to do in Monster Hunter Dos, but the technology just wasn't there yet. This is going to be so amazing if they pull it off, and I have faith that they will.

[@amurika6336]

Play MHW again

[@maiku3741]

Play world

[@wiseverza]

I think their take on dynamic changes happened by hunters is really good. Unlike Throne and Liberty, where majority of players can’t progress their sub-quest(important for character lvl). This is because the quest require you to play/do quest around the time that it rains/sandstorm or when a transport npc come by one particular area,which on a live server game, it’s hard to do that without spending time camping the quest area and no progressing.

[@Cpt-kaiju]

if this game has a big roster of actual monsters they might as well just keep making dlc for wilds cause how are you supposed to improve on this

[@DRAG0NSPIRIT10]

I've been wondering that as well, as all the talk about what people saw at the private demo make it sound like the devs are taking this game well beyond the next level. What on earth would/could they attempt next? They do love trying new things, so I'm sure they'll find something to try.

[@clydenavs8498]

Hopefully the combat is smooth and it flow like a river like in rise sunbreak unlike in world you have to aim your clutch claw while in mid battle honestly it can be annoying it feels like there is a lag mid combat while aiming to monster part of course seconds are very important while taking down a monster right just a few second window is all we need to deal massive damage especially in high rank most of the monsters are fast and strong

[@boogus1670]

I just hope it isn’t clunky

[@slipperyfish]

Hoping for some lance and gunlance details soon

[@shannonconnor3697]

The dynamic world sounds fascinating. Im a big immersion fan, and honestly i can just go on expeditions and investigations all day in mhw. An even more and alive world with bigger herds and more interactions between the ai?! Im hyped. Would love to see something like that in a big RPG. Like, bandit camps relocating and actively attacking trade caravans and travelers, automatically generated bounties and quests based off of changes in the environment and movement of people/monsters. Hoping mh wilds inspires future games if their systems work out

[@AjaxDigital]

All this stuff sounds amazing! Personally, I want them to make the actual "Hunt" harder. Make us search for these Monsters!

[@xuncledaddy4377]

I'm excited. I've never been able to get into a monster hunter game past 1 on ps2 that i can't remember which one it was. I hope this game is the one to suck me in

[@PKshockwave]

Amazing news! I'm really hoping that we get different armors for the alpha members of the pack vs the non-alphas. Similar to how Ludroth has a different armor to Royal Ludroth. I like the idea of crafting armor from the lesser Doshagumas so it's like you yourself are a young doshaguma increasing in strength and experience as you hunt to finally take on the alpha and become the alpha yourself. Imagine if the lesser doshaguma came with skills like challenger, evade distance, and stamina drain, but the apex had maximum might (Base World version), Atk up, constitution, and Marathon runner. It'd be amazing synergy to mix parts with both the lesser and apex pieces vs it just being get the apex because it's better. Lesser pieces may have lower defense but higher skill levels, etc.

[@GhorsZiblet]

I actually prayed last night that Wilds will not dissapoint

[@chito2701]

[@antoniolicup-vt5cy]

I have a question will the cat tribes and galaka tribes will be in wild

[@benturtl9076]

What if even monster corpses stay where they are for quite some time before despawning or even decompose before that and get eaten by predators/scavengers. The fact that we can actually stand on the corpses to carve makes me think they stay a physical part of the world. At least for a few hunts.

[@antiheld7323]

You would most certainly get your corpse to the village to let them carve out your quest rewards tho. Would be a waste to kill a really hard monster and letting it rot in the sand. At least that's what I always imagined is happening to the monster once the reward screen appears

[@benturtl9076]

@@antiheld7323 true, haven't thought about that

[@blackstrings]

Not to add a surgeon simulation into the game, but what if they add a more in depth carving mechanic system where you carry certain carving tools and containers to carve and harvest certain parts. The parts you carve also have a tier system on quality of the carve 😅. While taking a min or two to carve, you depend your teammates to stand guard to fight off scavengers or even from a deviljho to not interrupt your quality of carve 😅

[@waxwinged_hound]

This is the first time as a MonHun fan that I'm waiting for a mainline game to drop. (Yeah, Rise was my first mainline MH). But one of the things I've come to love about Monster Hunter, in fact the reason I got into the games in the first place, is how the monsters are designed and how they behave. They really seem like they could be real animals, at least in a fantasy universe. My first time seeing a Rathalos drink was a magical experience for me, and I can't wait to observe more natural behavior. I can't wait to mess around with the world, using my knowledge of real life animals and ecosystems, and see if any of it applies. Some of it probably will.

[@CelticOrlan]

I'm most interested in the focus mode. I don't just want it to be an alternative playstyle, I'd like there to be incentive to go in and out of it throughout a hunt. Like fighting normally creates wounds and toggling focus mode to hit the wounds for big damage. But staying in focus mode all the time hinders you in some way that lowers your dps

[@Dakumun640]

I think it's more for just seeing the wounds, as in it's basically an aside to it, meaning that if you're good enough, you don't need focus mode, you can just hit the wound. I'm assuming the wound will still be somewhat visible, like how broken parts are visible, if that makes sense, lol.

[@maiku3741]

See you're misinformed, bc wounds will come naturally through fighting the monster, and causing to it damage, and overtime those wounds will appear, focus mode is not linked to creating wounds.. That is just a combat stance, which gives the player the possibility to aim our attacks more precisely toward the monster, second attacking with focus mode, when a wound is open, and after a certain amount of damage done or when that part is broken, through focus mode is possible to perform special attack animations.

[@danielyoull6654]

The new weather system has me hyped, I can't wait to be fighting a monster and then a Strom hits and I have rethink my hunt. Also I hope to gog we van tame monsters for a farm and I hope we can catch the smaller life like we could in world

[@miguelcabreracastro6968]

Good news, i always feel that many monster species go to the same areas all of the time. In world you can do this with rathalos easily for example. encounter a monster outside their usual areas is great an would make up to more engaging combat, now you cant just pull up the same tricks.

[@abrahamkresnik9726]

So it's seamless as in it's similar to The Guiding Lands but bigger.

[@smoochie2750]

Wouldn't it be awesome if when a monster runs towards another part of the map so it becomes a "variant". Maybe not any drastic changes where it would grow spikes all over and a overall changes to its design, but maybe it would go from a fire element monster to something like ice? Imagine one of the sand worms become a more of a cave crawler within cave systems, changing the way you fight it by quiet a bit.

The changes to the environment sound pretty neat, but one of my favorite parts of Monster Hunter is that you can either hunt a monster once and never do it again, or hunt a monster 40 times to get that one rare item you need for the armor set. As a usually more casual player, I don’t want to see certain monsters only being available at certain times in certain conditions. I like the ability to hunt anything whenever you want.

So if Deviljho shows up, will the ecosystem reflect his devastating hunger, cause I'm curious how that would effect the dynamic world.

[@Mayceus]

I admittedly was kind of hoping for like.. Hunting Styles rather than this.. Focus Mode? If not that, then I was kind of hoping maybe something like what Rise did, only not as janky and fast, the ability to alter your movesets or have an active skill. However, that is sort of where my concerns end, I personally like what World did, making it more immersive and less just go smash monster that is it. Opening things up more as well will be gigantic in terms of just.. getting into the game in general. This on top of people might be more inclined to run two main weapons rather than just play one. I myself will be playing my HH since I think it'll be like World again and SnS. Gonna be sick. Question is whether I get it on PS5 or PC! Either way, cross-play.
