Crazy how they managed to achieve that mix of old and new. Its literally what people were expecting out of a switch monster hunter. The "simplicity" (as in, not too much going on at any given point) of the map is definitely reminiscent of the "old" games, same with the effects, UI, etc while the combat, general gameplay and more is all from World or World-esque.

Its fantastic and I can't wait to see how much content they throw into this game (Honestly I'm expecting the base game to almost rival Iceborne, its standard for portable games to top the initial game's roster of that Generation)

Between this, plus the extra footage they just finished showed on stream?

My NEED for this game only grows. This is truly the MH game I've been waiting on.

Looks amazing.

I've always been interested in Monster Hunter, but I quit the ones I tried (Wii and 3DS) because moving around was slow and not fun at all to me. This one, though... Wow, I'll be there day one. I really like what I see.

I'm honestly not buying the game if they deliberately remove the option for cloud saves. They can fuck off with that as it makes absolutely zero sense. I can back up MHW saves (all games really) on PS4 and PC, locally even. I'm not pouring hundreds of hours into a game with no backups.
Cloud Saves will be in, I'm sure. MHGU has it, why not Rise?

Purely with regards superficial visual fidelity, this title looks quite close to PS4/Xbone version. To think they can pull this off on Switch is phenomenal.

The store page has this ominous looking "Support status pending". I mean, it should be easy to say either yes or no.
Trust me, the amount of times I have seen so many games on the eShop ready to pre order that has status pending. For example, Fire Emblem Three Houses had that but when it was almost ready to release, save clouds confirmed. Another example is Astral Chain. Both Capcom and Nintendo knows how important it is.

Gameplay looks great.

I find the damage numbers a bit distracting so, hopefully, it can be turned off. Also, when the weapon sharpness decreased, I noticed there wasn't a message pop up that it decreased. Or did I just miss it?

Mobility looks super interesting but it also looks massively unlike MH. Unless they show monsters navigating all over the terrain, it only looks useful for getting over zones quickly. Also no paintballs or bugs? Monsters are just on the map and you find them? Not sure I like the non-hunting in Monster Hunter. interested to see some more of the zones and more interesting stuff with the wirebug.

You use a Scouting Owl instead of Scoutflies this time

It says at the bottom of the website that it doesn't support it

New footage got me looking forward to this now. Seeing the World QoL stuff is good. Wirebug looks fun!

Ok, thanks :) I'll chill and see how things turn out. The game looks great, so I'm all in if they don't mess this up. My support status is currently pending :)

Wow, it looks even better than the trailer/direct. I LOVE the idea of having 3 animal/insect companions helping you (the segment inside the tent was so cuuute). Also the fantasy japanese setting is a really good idea, it really helps to make the game stand out.

Where can I watch the second gameplay showcase ?

Stream is still live but we should have the archive link soonish?

I don't know how it will work but, if you look closely at the map, there's a ? icon indicating the monster.
I thought that was just monsters you have never met and I guess it will be a monster icon once you have met them. World had a mechanic to this where the more you fight them the more info you have.

Yep, that's how it will work apparently. It changes to a monster icon once you encounter them in your quest.

Not sure about endemic life bugs and finding wirebugs in the wild. Don't really need an additional step for prep if they're pre set in certain locations
