From GameStop
Screenshots This game looks pretty darn sweet. Unfortunately the release date is still TBA so it's no telling when we'll see this game. Perhaps Capcom will reveal some more on this one at E3. Also, check out the official trailer 2. It's intense. -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

The official website has been updated. Of course, unless you know Japanese, information may be kind of hard to discern. However, by clicking around, you can actually find some nice screenshots of the game as well as some video footage. http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/ Someone from GameFAQs also partially translated the Q&A section:

I am bumping this because I saw some footage from E3 about this game, and I think it looks badass. Here is some of the character art from the official site.
I want this game. |

I read about this one in the latest GMR magazine (i think it was GMR). It sounds very similar to PSO and the article even says it also. The said that the game style is pretty much the same except it's more 'dinosaurs and ancient' not 'mutants and lasers'.
Screenshots are very very cool, aren't they? Check out that crazy ass jawbone broadsword that guy is swinging! Damn! Now that's just plain cool. -------------------- |

This game is definitily one I'll be keeping my eye on, and like everyone else has basically said, it looks very similar too PSO.
I saw a release date for it at ebgames.com for the end of Aug. I have no idea though if that's accurate, probably not. Looks like I will be bringing my PS2 online. I wonder if they'll start shipping the HDD seperate now, or pack it with this game too, like they did FFXI, or both? All I know is I better start saving money now. -------------------- <center>

I will be getting this game for sure. This game just has a cool factor that can't be beat.
Check out the Capcom Monster Hunter site. It's a really neat Flash based site with lots of info and a character armor previewer. Great review of the import |

I have been trying to get some more detail on the online aspect of this game. Can anyone find any more info? Here is what I have pieced together so far. I think it will work just like pso. When you go online, you are asked to choose a server. Once you are on a certain server, you then either make a town(room?) or join an alreday existing town. This makes it sound a lot like pso to me. Each town supports a maximum of 8 players. Then you choose a zone to explore. Each zone supports 4 players. There are options you can set up for your town, like Friends Only, or Solo Play. Sounding an awful lot like pso? If this information holds true, think of it as pso, but having 8 people in Pioneer 2, with the ability to split up and explore a zone with two independant teams (or more?).
In addition to hunting Monsters, there is cooking, crafting, and fishing, all in a limited sense I am sure, in relation to FFXI. If anyone can find more info on how the server, towns, and zones work, that would be great. |

When in a town, your character is visible, but not before picking one. Also, Capcom has an interesting anti-cheating method. Hacked items and normal items are coded differently and won't show up when online. Here's something that may garner Crush's attention.
Ninja suit: light Ninja suit: dark If you haven't figured out yet, armor comes in pieces, a la FFXI. Yes, there's even a ninja sword. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant.

I'll be getting it, and will go online eventually, but not on day one. I'll be spending some time offline first, so I can get the basics of the game down.
When I go online also depends on how much I get into Fable. -------------------- <center>

Up until now I though Fable and Monster Hunter came out the same day. Hehe, stupid me. But since Monster Hunter comes out like a week after Fable, it is possible that I might decide to go online day one. Providing if I get it day one that is. If I don't get it day one, or if I'm still playing Fable a lot, it might be a few days after day one before I get online with it.
I'm up for this, if I'm on day one that is. -------------------- <center>

I stopped in my local EB games store recently and I thought it said 9/22 but its close enough. Also I thought I saw something in the thread about the subscription being free...? Does this mean the subscription will always be free or free for the first month? Also I should be on this game the night it comes out here. I would probably read this more but I have to get to my next class soon =|

G00f? Surely you meant "g00d"? Well, the Japanese had to pay for this, just like PSOv1. Maybe this'll end up like PSOv1/v2. There is talk of a Monster Hunter 2 in the works, so maybe those of us across the pacific will also end up paying just like our Japanese counterparts. I'll leave it at so as not to whip anything out of proportion. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant.

Got Monster Hunter reserved today. The lady at GameSpot told me it should be in tomorrow. Boy, I can't wait. I'll hopefully try to make it online tomorrow night.
They also had Star Wars: Battlefront in but they wouldn't sell me a copy. I suppose it would be better to just rent it anyway to see if I like it. Though, with my luck, Blockbuster will never have a copy available to rent. >_< Let's try to organize some kind of meet up sometime soon, as everyone gets the game and plays through it a bit. :D -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

Just got the game...i'm going to play a little offline and then go check out the online part...by reading the manual this game looks like a good set-up to make private games if you want...you can save 50 people on your friend list,there's a large chat area,then the town area where 8 people can meet and so on...it should be easy to make a town named AT for example with a password for 8 people and once inside split up in 2 groups of 4.

Cool Mute...ok,quick thoughts...the controls will need some getting use to...using the right analog makes you swing your sword,etc...that's a little weird,i'm use to looking up and down with the right analog...the only control you have of the camera is the L1 button which repositions the camera behind you,kinda like the righ trigger on PSO...graphics are pretty good,if you don't mind the PS2 jaggies(i think we are all use to them by now,still looks good)...my main beef so far is the collision,detection of your hits on the ennemy,the hits are ok but when the ennemy falls,a lot of times you go right through the monster,you kinda dissapear in them and when you want to pick up what the dead monster leaves,you stand right into the monster,again dissapearing in them...
Mute i guess we will need to decide where we meet,there's 2 main Worlds,then 4 sub area's and so on...we need to decide an AT/GC area so it's easier to all get together. There was only about 40 people online in the World i chose. My name is the same there guys,just look for riel. Maybe we can make a post with all the servers and Worlds and vote on one in there? -------------------- ============================

Whoa funky controls! I actually really like them. It's unique. ^^ Anyhow, I haven't tried online yet. I'm still getting my feet wet offline. Though, I probably should register my name since I do believe there can be any two of the same names online.
EDIT: Damn that camera is gonna take a bit of getting used to after so many years of PSO. ^^; I see what you mean by the collision detection. It is a little weird looking but it doesn't really detract from anything. This came is purrrty. ^^ Whoa funky! I went up to some random plant by a tree and harvested berries. @_@ I feel bad killing these herbivores. :( This post has been edited by Mute: Sep 22 2004, 01:15 PM -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

There's 2 Worlds so far:
Brave World. Sincere World. Now Brave World is the first one everyone picks so far so if we wanna play amongst ourselves i suggest we use the Sincere World.Then there's the Red Land,Green Land and Blue Land...i don't see how you can name a town after that,they are either vacant or called Aluzard something...might be harder to find everyone then i first thought... -------------------- ============================

Yes, I see exactly what you mean. I don't have much time to get more into it since I have to head to work, but I registered online as Mute, so that is the name I'll be using online. Hopefully I'll get a better crack at the online elements later this evening.

Finally played a few games online and yeah we definetly need to hook up together,having a good group will help a lot for the fun factor in this game.I'm still a little lost with the controls although i'm getting better...i only have a small weapon for now anyway...a few things i don't like:
the lag was pretty bad on a few occasions,we got a lot of the "seeing a partner hitting air" a few times and teleports all over the place. you can actually hit a teamate,which is kind of dumb,i can't believe they left that in,you don't receive any damage from the hits but you can be sent flying on your back. there's no way that i have seen so far that you can heal or support your teamates,it just seems like everyone slashing away at monsters,hopefully this will change with levels as things you equip makes your class in a way. Good points: Lots of action,nice interface with all the emotes you find in this type of game but a keyboard is a must again. Towns are cool,tavern is well done and the game is easy to pick up. Seems to have a lot of quests and the monsters look great. I suggest we use the Sincere World and the Blue World to meet up and set things up from there.Once everyone has most people on their friend list,it will be easier. The game has potential,i can see having fun with this for a while,maybe be not PSO while but if the mid level quest get more interesting then the "noob" fetch quest,it should be fun. -------------------- ============================

A nice little surprise. I got this game in the mail today. So far I'm loving this game and have opened up the 2-star quests.
A few things I've found useful so far. Fishing is your friend. Fish go for about 30-60z a pop. A goldenfish will net you about 900z! First thing you should buy is the BBQ spit. Like almost any game, watch the enemy's attacks so you have a good idea how to avoid them. Item combining is also a good thing to practice on. Hopefully this helps some of you. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant.

Sounds like a plan Riel. I got my game last night and only had time to complete the one star quests so far, but I am liking it a lot. My characters name is Dive, so let's all try and meet up for a game tonight. The attacks being mapped to the right analog stick take some getting used to, but after playing that way for a while, it feels completely natural and I wonder how I got by without this control scheme in other action games. Monster Hunters want to meet up on AIM this evening to organize a game? |

Yeah we could do that although the main Land once you are there in the game is basically a chat area,hopefully lots of peeps get this because i sense a very fun game...things i'm not sure yet but hopefully it's in the game:
Trading between players. If someone dies can you revive him? Classes and skills. -------------------- ============================

I thought I heard something along the lines that archers can use like healing arrows or something but Im not sure who else can heal. Also hitting teammates is kinda dumb. Kinda reminds me if you go into an area in battle mode on PSO. |

You can't trade any weapons/armor. Not sure about the dead teammate thing. Only 2 "classes" in the game, and skills are acquired from equipment. As far as online goes, my BB unit is on its way here, and I should be online next week.

I think you can exchange components such as hides and pelts, however, I'm almost 100% certain that you CAN'T exchange weapons/armor that is of a certain Rarity level (4-5 maybe?). I need to get my ass online for some verification.

I'm at work at the moment so I won't be able to meet you online. More than likely, I won't be online tonight until late since I'm heading to a bartending competition that a friend of mine is in after work. I'll eventually get on there and meet up with ya Riel. ^^; EDIT: Wow GameSpot's review is horrid....... It left me pretty sour in many ways. Here is my response from a seperate forum.

I think we have decided to hang out in Sincere Land, in the Blue World. Had a fun game last night with Riel, Dorian, Astrid, and SaitoH. Remember now that the town itself will hold 8 players, but an actual zone and quest will only hold up to 4 players. What will happen if we get more than 4 people in town is two seperate quests going on at the same time. A bit limiting yes, but a nice upgrade from the PSO team structure. |

Wow! Last night was the most fun I've had in a while in an online game. Played with Dive, SaitoH, and Zio (sorry we lost ya Zio, the game really needs some kind of "mail" system like PSO). Dive and I ended up staying up pretty damn late as well. We even took down this huge ass bird creature called the Yian Kut-Ku a few times. One thing this game is lacking is some kind of block list because anyone and everyone can "register" you as a friend and locate where you are... and I've already ran into one annoying ass kid named DarkCat.
Anyhow, I suggest we use a different "town" besides Allsburg. There are two other ones if you pres L1 or R1 at the town select. So basically we should figure out a specific area (A-Z) on the Blue land of Sincere World, then use an alternate town besides Allsburg (I can see why the reviewers called the online setup a bit tedious ^^;). -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

No sooner do we get this game over here, there's already an "expansion" in the works a la PSOv2. Feast your eyes on Monster Hunter G, folks.
EDIT: I got the network adaptor today, and am setting it up now. Thing is, I won't have a keyboard. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

DarkEpyon, I found someone with the same problem you are having. I don't know if they fixed their problem, but may be a good place to start. Click Here! The link is to a Gamespot forum. What's funny is Gamespot gives the game a 5.7 Reviewer Score, but the community score is 8.6. Monster Hunter is very fun, I spent most of the weekend killing monsters, gathering items, crafting items, and having a great time with Mute, Dorian, Astrid, SaitoH, Zio, and Riel. Even DJ Donkey showed up for a while. I hope you can get online soon DE. |

I think that this expansion is only for those who have been playing the Japanese version. The preview mentions such things as brandishing weapons in town, and being able to dual wield swords. Those are already available in the version released in the US. It appears we already have the latest release of the game, and now the Japanese market will get the version we have. |

Yeah that was fun stuff. Sorry my friend was on the computer and shut the router and the computer off and forgot that I was on his ps2 >_< and I tried to get on later but it stopped at 99% on the third screen every time u_u and yes it REALLY needs a mail system. Btw did you guys manage to kill the Yian Kut-Ku cuz I was takin on offline but it kept running from me =| a great sword really owns that thing. And I dont have the adapter at my house so I have to play it at my friends to be online, also about the only time I can be on all night is weekends. Maybe if you guys arnt on during the day Ill just catch ya on weekends. |

That's good to hear. Anyhow, do you have a cable modem connection or dsl? I know with mine, I just plug the modem directly into my PS2 but I have to unplug the modem and plug it back in to reset it or else I won't be able to connect. Also, my PS2 network settings are just set to Automatically Configure or however they have it worded. Btw, I HAVE had it hiccup a few times on the DNAS check but it always seems to go through. I hope you get this worked out soon. Be good to have you online with us. -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

I have DSL, and the line I'm using is the same one I've been using the past two years to play PSO. Been playing offline, and can't beat that damned Yian-kut-ku. Time to upgrade from this velociprey gear and get up the money/resources to upgrade this iron sword to a katana. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

Hmmm, others with your similar problem have said they can connect to services such as XBox Live! but still get stuck at the DNAS. I'm guessing you are getting a consistent error message as well? Does this have any information along with it, when it comes up?
It appears that most people having this problem are connecting through a router. Perhaps the PS2 network settings have to be changed accordingly to accomodate for this. If worse comes to worse, is it possible to plug your DSL directly into your PS2? (If you haven't tried it already) As far as Kut-Ku, just keep at it until you have a good feel for his attack pattern. Be careful once he gets to about half health he tends to go on a frenzy and becomes a tad more difficult to attack. Oh, and paint the sucker as soon as you can, for we all know he likes to fly away when he's hurt (I'm told paint only lasts around 10 minutes or so, so you may have to paint him multiple times). -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

HELLFU CKINGYEAH!! *kinda-spoilers* After looking over pensil's MH website, apparently every other day there is a special event at the Market. Like for instance, the other day we had half price items (which kicks major ass if you're trying to do alot of mining). There is also a day for the three shops individually where you can find stuff on sale you wouldn't normally find (check the rastafarian dude at the front of the Market to see what I mean). Also, there is always a fella in the bottom corner of the Market that will tell you the current special. Sometimes, of course, there may be none. >>>Oh, AND, the half price only applies to the shops IN the Market, so be wary when you are making purchases from the lady near the Quest Board since alot of her items will be sold in the market at half the price.<<< -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

Well Im on during the day and on all night sometime during the weekend. And yeah that Yian-Kut-Ku is a pain in the jungle offline...it was funny stuff the other day I played with 2 people who tried to kill the bigger wyvern called gycerops or something like that (whatever the one is that can poison you) needless to say they got owned. Btw Mute my character finally got rid of that thong he went from lookin like a jackass to a badass. |

Last night with Mute was truly a blast. We beat up Yian-kut-ku in true fashion, although I did die twice and it went to sleep once. The best part was getting sloshed afterward.
I really gotta hurry up and get me a keyboard so this game will be even more fun. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination." -Albert Einstein |

To beat the wyvern, one must respect the wyvern. Tell me, did you think we had a chance in hell after it killed you the first time? It was all about patience. Heck, I even ran out of potions toward the end of the fight and had to run back to the camp to heal up. However, our strategy was to have someone keep the sucker awake when it tried to rest in it's nest (area 5). Ended up working out nicely, for in the end, we carved up some pink bird. style.

He fakes death and stuff all the time so it was pretty tough. About the only thing I got was rubbery hides but you can make Gyncerops armor with it.
