This has potential to be a good (or decent) co-op game. Will keep an ear out for news in future.

I've always been intrigued by the MH games, but typically being on handheld I've never bothered.. will also be keeping an eye on this game.

A bit disappointed it's on PS4 rather than Switch but also rather keen to see MH in proper HD. Will be interesting to see what they do with the online lobby interface and how the new mechanics work. MH Generations for me was a bit confusing with the addition of styles etc

I was hoping it would be on switch when it first announced.. after zelda my switch has been a dust collector... but having it on PS4 (Pro) means a crisp 4k HDR goodness so thats alright, plus I hate the Ninty online system so at least I'll find people to play with on PS4 easier.

I wonder if we're getting our own region servers for this. I think for for the last one we were on the US servers- hardly anyone to play with at a reasonable hour.

Launch date 26/1. Happy Australia Day

Not sure about servers, Aussies usually get screwed so won't be holding my breath. As far as the release date, effectively if you buy physical it'll be released 27th. Still undecided, but if I do pull the trigger I'll go digital on it I think.

Interesting little horizon zero dawn tie in, trailer looks good, quietly keen to try this out and I'm glad there's a beta.

There were so many Nintendo tie ins on the last one- I wonder what else they have planned

I am going to lose many, many hours to this game

Thanks for the heads up. Very informative video, I'll be giving it a go.

Almost forgot about the beta, thanks for the reminder Des. Will have to find some time to team up.

So I think it goes live 4am Sunday for us?

Destille82 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 06, 2017, 01:01:23 PM »

Yes I think you're right Sunday 4am, somehow I thought or assumed it would be Saturday....

In a few points, what do you do in this game? hunt monsters and craft/market materials and items? are there any sort of raids or large scale battles where more than a single 4 man party is in a battle?

- Always 4 people or less in a party
- Hunt monsters for materials and gather items to create higher level equipment
- Every quest is pretty much what a boss battle is like in other games

I assume there is a leader board or something for those that grind their way up for better gear and harder monsters?

In previous games, all you got was a rank/level that determined what quests you could access. That's it. There's no score-keeping in MH, or any kind of kill count etc that you may associate with other online games. I've noticed that it makes the online atmosphere really different since you're never competing against anyone

Slayer7744 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2017, 04:17:07 PM »

But it's not meant to be a competitive game, is it? I look at it as a Co-Op game simply defeating monsters, upgrading and defeating more powerful monsters.

Not a competitive game at all, all about SP or Co-Op adventures in taking down bit bad monsters, though there is a speed running community around it if that's your thing etc.
