Glen-i Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Something about the lack of normal sized 3DS's in that advert is really funny to me. Even the new one is not there. You sure this isn't the American advert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is there any particular difference between this on a New 3DS and on a regular old 3DS(which I have hopefully correctly assumed will play this fine?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Is there any particular difference between this on a New 3DS and on a regular old 3DS(which I have hopefully correctly assumed will play this fine?)? Loading time improvements and nicer textures are the two improvements I remember. There might be more though... Oh, right. The second circle pad. EDIT: Yay! I beat someone to it! First time I've ever done that here. I'd like to thank myself for replying quickly and my mum and my phone!

Faster loading and camera control on the new 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How could you guys forget posting screenshots to MH4U's MIIVERSE as a New 3DS exclusive feature? but other than that it's not really worth it if you already have a 3DS and are cool with the touch screen camera.

Rummy Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I seeee! Im still rocking my original zelda 3DS - are there any known/expected differences in online functionality at all? That'd be my biggest concern. A new 3ds'd be nice with the extra sticknubthing, but it just feels like a lot of money for an upgrade I'm mostly nonplussed about.

f00had Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 There's slightly longer loading times when starting quests and moving between areas but that won't affect other players who are using the New 3DS in multiplayer. You can use the Circle Pad Pro if you want but idk the camera controls seem pretty poor in this one, in previous games you could move it diagonally and now in this one when there's a greater emphasis on verticality you can only move the camera on one axis at a time.

RedShell Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I was seriously close to canceling my pre-order for this recently. Camera controls were doing my nut in, as was the constant thought that this game should be on Wii U. But I played through the demo some more (with my weapon of choice, the hammer ) and somehow managed to get to grips with just using the L button to keep the camera under control. Also managed to solo all of those monsters, without losing a life. :awesome: Quite an achievement seeing as I got destroyed by Gore Magala previously, as witnessed by @Glen\-i. Brought back great memories of MH3/Ultimate though, and I'm pretty sure I can live with the shitty camera controls now, but I'll almost certainly be sticking to the hammer again, at least for the first 100 or so hours.

Yeah, target cam makes it a whole lot more manageable. I find it weird that the bottom screen D-pad doesn't let you move the camera diagonally like it did in 3 Ultimate. Oh well, not gonna be a problem for me when I get my New 3DS XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londragon Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 First time I tried the demo solo I was a little disappointed in the game. Fired it up again tonight f9r some online hunts and some excellent fun hunting the Testsucabra, but got my arse owned by the Gore Magala and 1 other hunter who seemed to just run in with complete disregard for their safety and health. Overall, an excellent nights hunting, and now I'm fully stoked for Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not have a CPP? That might help with the camera issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Do you not have a CPP? That might help with the camera issue.Nope. I never really liked the look of the CPP to be honest, and have only got a couple of games that can even use it. Might actually look into getting one for this game though.

f00had Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I got the dispatch email for this today from The Game Collection. First time preordering a game off them, any chance of getting it tomorrow or should I not get my hopes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 So, um... apart from DCubed, is anyone getting this digitally? Monster Hunter just seems like the kind of game I want available on my console all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
