Rise fixed this already so they have to know the cutscene requirement was the most common complaint about World by this point, right? RIGHT???
Getting a bit worried after all the recent details and trailers being dropped. They might be going full-steam ahead on AAA story driven slop. At least the portable team would be able to carry the series tho.
Could be why they are skipping Switch 2. They know AAA story driven slop is perfect for PS and Xbox.
There is literally no indication they are skipping Switch 2. The darn console hasn't even been announced. Why would Capcom be allowed to announce potentially the biggest game on the system before Nintendo even announces any of their own?
Yeah, I love World but adore Rise. I'll hopefully like this game too but I'm way more excited for the next portable game. I care more about fun gameplay than story and immersion. Plenty of other AAA games do that already.
I was excited for World but back in 2017-18, but I was pretty video game illiterate. I only played Nintendo games really and didn't know what to expect from a AAA MH. I booted up World and was immediately put off from the vibes and put it down after like 3 hours and didn't touch it again until earlier this year. I'm getting those same vibes from these trailers. Hopefully it's just the execs meddling in the marketing and the game is actually an evolution of World rather than a step back.
isn't there a high likely hood that the portable section of MH were merged with the console team?
Don't think there's been any rumors of that tbh. And even if that were the case, that means a lot of the ideas from the portable team would be brought up and potentially implemented. I don't think it's a world-ending scenario for them to merge, but I would like the portable team to make more traditional games as mid-generation games.
?
There's an NPC along with you on the hunt and there's dialogue from you player character. This is a scripted story event, 100%, and stuff like that really wasn't common until World. Having 2 trailers back to back with story content is giving people the vibe this is a more story-oriented game. Not sure what to say other than the vibes are off tho, and I'm not alone in thinking that.
I'm aware of scripted events in the clip. I watched the same video too. Nothing indicates this will be the focus of the game overall.
Well, sure.
I personally don't see Capcom having the same problem as SE, but they really should either improve the engine, since it works best at smaller environments, like RE and DMC.
Maybe you didn't get my point, I meant that Capcom's aggressive transformation of their internal development process after developing the RE engine led to the consequence that they might face the pitfalls of AAA games in general, and that SE was the one that fell into that black hole.
For sure, crossplay is super sick. It was very unfortunate finding another person irl that was into Monster Hunter Rise, only to realize his primary save file was on PC while I only had it on Switch. We still played together on his Switch but he was behind on Sunbreak content there. Glad that’s a thing of the past now. Maybe cross-saves too with those new Capcom accounts?
I fully expect PC to be the best selling platform for Wilds. The PC growth Capcom has seen over the past few years is crazy they almost sells as many game units on PC as all the consoles combined.
The Playstation Blog post about MHWild from the State of Play already indicates that Capcom is putting more "effort" or emphasis on the story. I don't know if the story will impact the flow of th gameplay, but Capcom is definitely trying to do more with the story element.
Update: Website says no cross-saves. Sad.
I think Rise and Wilds is going for different directions, the latter is clearly position as a World sequel.
Clear in what way, curious? Considering mainline MH games I feel are hardly sequels to each other.
The 'Return to World' Campaign the Wilds was announced, save data bonus for 'World' and 'Iceborne' but not 'Rise', a sequel in a sense that this is the next evolution based on what's established on World.
Don't forget racist Chinese jokes! Audiences love those
