State of Play 2024 went HARD |  

Little miss Forge all grown up! She wears the caravaneers jacket and has the guildmarm plushie of Kut Ku! And the Ace lancer is back! DUDE I CAN'T WAIT, THIS IS JUST NEXT GEN 4U!

I love that the palico and the hunter are now voiced 🥰

Dude, the fact that they are having WEAPON SPECIFIC INTERACTIONS shows that capcom understands exactly how to make a game an improvement. This actually gives me hope for better lance gameplay.

IMO the synth and electric instrumental are used for thunder affinity monsters like zinogre or astalos (but then rajang, lagi, Kirin are not represented with it,so it's not a solid argument) maybe in this case represents the electric storm aproaching and could be an elder dragon related to it.

the hunters that come to help, are wearing the armours of the two monster shown!! the Doshaguma ( the one like Goss-Harag) and the Chatacabra( the amphibian one)

Speaking of packs and herds, I think it would be perfect for this desert environment if we could face a Seltas Queen and her horde of drones!

Imagine you can make a monster briefly struggle by playing music with a hunting horn

I’m really happy the main character is voiced! I do think though we will get to create our character. I think we can make a male or female hunter, and pick a voice actor. We were able to do so in Rise and the only difference was our hunter didn’t talk in the cutscenes. That always bothered me so it’s cool to see it like this! Hogwarts Legacy was a great example of having a deep narrative with a voiced main character that we designed. As far as MHWilds goes the other characters will likely call our character simply “hunter” or come up with some sort of nickname. Either way there is sooooo much to be excited about, but it’s great to see we can finally have a VOICE in cutscenes with other characters talking haha.

On the character front, the main website already shows the Hunter in both male and female versions, so it's definitely not as "fixed" as you might think. Also, customizable voiced narrative characters have been a thing in forever in a lot of RPG's, like with various Bioware games e.g. Mass Effect.

My hype when I watched thid live was through the freaking roof man. Monster Hunter Wilds is low key shaping up to be a serious game of the year contender. It was everything I wanted and MORE. Lmao I got my new croc boy I was so happy man. 😂

I'm a couple days late on this but holy smokes I didn't know I needed all that in my life. One of the Palicoes on the ship behind the smithy and handler looks like it's carrying a longsword and walking with a handler. Palico solo hunters confirmed?? The scene where it was paused to talk about the riposte you can see spit coming out of the other monsters mouth and dang are those fluid mechanics good. Looks like a sand snake/leviathan did the sand whirlpool and was thrown during that cinematic type scene. Also did that transition from cinematic into gameplay seamlessly? If the frog monster doesn't have multiple camouflage patterns it can appear as I'll be disappointed and my day ruined. But seriously I could easily see a subspecies of that existing that as a poison dart frog type thing. First area transition scene from lush to desolate had a baby pukei-pukei looking monster. Also the monster flying kinda looks like a Bishaten body so maybe flying monkey? Crocodile/Alligator ambush predator from the water = Lagiacrus is so totally back. That flag for this fleet 100% plays into the logo with the 4 large circles with distinctly different heads and the flag with 4 distinct quadrants. Gotta work on my compass theory some but I'm going to say it's 4 locales and the 2 large snakes intertwined are related to the lush/desolate change instead of actual monsters. The huge broken circles are a mystery to me still but seem very important in some way. With it being confirmed that each locale has 2 conditions I'm going to have to work on my locale speculations too. All this theory/speculation work is gonna have to wait until after SGF because I feel like another trailer/announcement is coming with more info.

Not watching it live because the event start like at 5:00AM in the morning in my country, but after i woke, i see my notification flooding because my friend tag me about the trailer, and oh my god do it look so gooood! Can't wait for the next trailer for the monster on summer game fest!

I've consumed enough japanese media to know that kid's pendant is probably going to be able to control some ancient monster or superweapon. All roads eventually lead to Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

A Little interesting thing I noticed is that when alma talks about the ceratonoth herd she says "wow I've never heard of a ceratonoth herd this big before!" Meaning that this isn't the guilds or research commissions first time being in the forbidden lands/windswept plains. Which leads me into a theory about the games story and what we're trying to do, here it goes. There was a group or fleet of explorers tasked with mapping and exploring as much as possible of a brand new undiscovered location called the forbidden lands after they were done they would return and give the guild all of the information they collected, but when they returned there was only a handful of the explorers left on the ship, one of which is Nata the son of two explorers that disappeared alongside a majority of others. The guild then sends the research commission to uncover the mystery of the explorers mysterious disappearance. Do you think my theory is close to being accurate to the games story Mr coyotewildfire?

the parry is follow up for the new stance mechanic called Focus mode

It was a big surprise to see this at the state of play and I really like what they've shown. I hope the seikret is customizable like palicos were in world and rise. I really like the chatacabra, it looks like a fun low tier monster. Can't wait for Summer Games Fest and I wonder what Wild's flagship would be or when it will be revealed.

You might not have to leave Insect Glaive, depending on how they do it, you could wind up wedging the glaive in it's mouth and shooting out like a focused Kinsect or something to knock it back. Just like I'm sure the Great Sword will have more than just holding it in place.

The website and the trailer on the MH channel all show the other platforms, that's just on the Playstation trailer that only has the PS logo.

The counter/riposte combat was in world already though maybe to a lesser degree. If you hit devilhjo or anjanath while they were mid attack sequence you can actually knock them up and back causing the camera to pan out and them to thrash around on the ground for a moment. Very specific conditions though. Must hit the face really hard while they are doing a wind up attack.

the plains grass reminds me of Ancestral Steppe!

I feel like there might be a lenient window on the parry that even newbies can feel badass, BUT the monster does not stagger. It only staggers when you time it correctly. That way it can please both audiences and encourage beginners to get better. This is just my speculation though and it may just be a timed attack with a narrow window lol.

I don't know if anyone else said or notice that but Doshaguma "the first monster" is not actually based on a bear but on a dog race call Tibetan Mastiff, that's why they go on packs

Heres a theory: in the trailer, gemma talked about finding some people. We have this theory that gemma is the little miss forge and that the guild master is the ace lancer. I was thinking, could it be that the people gemma spoke of that we have to find is the ace commander and the ace gunner? And then theres a boy named nata, which is similar to how the ace gunner look. Could it be that nata is the ace gunner's son and that nata is actually trying to find her mom? Also, that girl on the ground with her seikret in chatacabra's cutscene seems like the ace gunner

Good to see MH is now focusing more on the narrative aspect. I know shocker but since the gameplay formula is good. Now they can focus on explaining what's going on.

i'm so hyped for the new sand swimming... looks like a leviathan. here's hoping they either fixed the skeleton issues, for leviathans and snake wyverns or decided not to wait and just put those monsters in flatter zones so the maps would have a mix of zones with and without elevation. i mean, we'll always have our mount so we can do jump attacks off it whenever we want. it would be weird if there was no mounting, i doubt that is the case. none the less, it's a potential work around to the issues that 5th gen ran into with those 2 monster classifications/skeletons. i love that our first 2 monsters are in underrepresented categories, one is a bear/fanged beast and the other is an amphibian that has like the rajang/garangolm skeleton. looking forward to some fantastic monster design and variety in this game. they've said on the official site that it is locales like the past games. that they each have these 3 states of vibrant, scarcity, and some form of natural disaster. looking forward to the tundra and volcano. this is likely just you can initiate quests organically on the map without a quest board if you want. i still don't believe it's open world and the official site info supports my theory but we'll know more in a few days.

Ahhh I’m so glad you covered this!!!! And right away too, damn! 👏🏻🖤

5:16 does the little croc remind you guys of some monster we didnt see a.long time? It looks suspiciously similar from the body structure. If u ask me. Also why would they show that a small animal is attacking another small one if its not funny or special? It was on purpose if u ask me. Here are some hints , the monster is blue , has electricity, lives underwater regularly .. yep i guess hes back in that game. Would bet on it.

Just my reactions... - the music will be amazing and i can't wait to get the soundtrack. - "Palabo" is a good name for the mount. - I am so happy to see the Palico! She is adorable! - Wilds will be the best game of its generation. - Can't wait to spend two hours in character creation xD - Guild girl has a coffe pot or tea pot on her belt. I hope she makes us some.

Its not open world, the website mentions multiple hunting locals. Its probably like how in early game World the hunt would start after you found the spot to trigger the cutscene, only hopefully this time it doesn't disable multiplayer

The excitement is real! ... The environment is really shaping that feel of reality with just enough fantasy... And the weapons! Hmmm possible to be a form of style or maybe similar to weapon skill swaps? By the way... Take a look at the Gen 6 flag

I hope that we can customise our seikrat

At 11:06 you can see red shiny orbs all over the monster.. i wonder if this has to do with the new focus mode

Guarantee that Wilds is still going to require less storage than Call of Duty does these days. And I mean that as a compliment.

Damn my inner child hyping so much , Don't forget there will be more information on June 7 and New 2nd trailer as well!

I'm not ready for new bow and charge blade attacks!!!!

I definitely can't wait for the 7th since the people behind wilds is going to reveal a new trailer and a new monster.

bro looks like miguel from tekken

The riposte move looks like will be the special attack mentioned in the website.

No chance we play as a set character. I'd imagine that guy is the kid on the boat's father.

I think they just placed the ps5 thing because it was advertising the PS5 wishlist specifically

Great video bro!! I missed out on playing previous Monster Hunter games but mann Wilds is looking really good!! Loved your breakdown on this video, slowly turning me into a MH fan😅

This game has to be based on africa because it looks like we have a nile crocodile and those herd creatures look like pangalins and the creature that was attacked by the crocodile creature looks like a wilderbeast.

Do you think that what the Doshaguma threw the first time was a new monster?

This is the only reason why im switching to pc.

yea why would console show you where you can play that it that isn't their own platform

Imagine a monsterhunter game where you didnt create your own character .. So glad you're wrong on that one 😂😂😂😂
