With each new iteration, the Monster Hunter games see a lot of refinement. That said, when spending hundreds of hours with the same game, you still run the risk of things going a bit stale. WingDamage.com can’t help but think what the future of Monster Hunter might bring. Call it wishful thinking, but here are some of their ideas on how the series could continue to improve.
Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
Goomba Stomp: "In Japan, the Monster Hunter series is something of a legend. Every gamer worth their salt in Japan knows about Monster Hunter, as each new iteration in the franchise, is met with high critique and commercial success. However, this is not the case over here in the States. The first time I had ever even heard of the franchise was a preview for the series’ third installment, Monster Hunter Tri, in Nintendo Power. The idea of hunting giant beasts with an online team seemed like a really cool concept to me, especially when I learned of how well the series was received overseas. Little did I know that Tri would go on to become the single greatest experience I have ever had with an online multiplayer game."
It's like drugs, people who haven't try it looks at it like it's some kind of outlandish, weird thing they'll never understand why people are addicted to it. But once you try it, preferably with friends... suddenly you have 200 hours logged in in just a short time you'll never guess it's a capcom game.
too bad they chose to release it on a niche platform in the west, if only capcom has the brain to upgrade the graphic and release it on PS4/XB1 I'm willing to bet it'll be as huge as overwatch, only you won't be bored as fast.
Its funny because even though i know Generations is exactly the same as Monster Hunter 4, just with even less story and the addition of Arts, its still addicting as hell. There's just something about it. The preparation before going out to fight a particular monster is probably my favorite aspect of the games.
Knowing your enemy and what weapons, tools, and items to bring is something missing from a lot of games that is done really well in this series. That strategic feeling before the actuall nonstop action begins once you find the monster is unlike any other game that I've played.
With recent release of Monster Hunter Generations, Bit Cultures lists out our Top 10 Monsters from the series. From the terrifying to the hilariously named.
Why dont you let game developers worry about what to do with a game. And you just play it.
It could show up on the PS3 for one..
Make the monsters smarter and deadlier, and do what MH back on the PS2 tried to encourage, that the monsters were scary to fight and 1 one 1 battles were terrifying/risky. More like hunting and stalking than a hack/n slash RPG.
I think they really refine or reinvent or just make their melee combat deeper. It would work wonders not only for critics but just getting more people into their game. I mean tri did have the most additions for the weapon classes, but I really think more can be done. The movesets are still very similar to the first game. I love the series but I always feel the gameplay doesn't evolve enough from one game to the next. Just content additions. I think the rest in the article is all a given on an HD console. Nothing against the Wii mind you, I've been playing Tri on the Wii for a while.
up the numbers to 8 players per mission, 20 per city...
