Monster Hunter Wilds

Please be like world and not rise.

Looks like it won't be like either, unless you mean the flow of combat and stuff. Since they didn't really display anything out of the ordinary yet hard to say but unlikely to be like Rise since the whole fast paced combat/movement was specifically the Rise gimmick.

This looks open world, so it'll likely be centered around that but yeah can't know how combat will work. The only hint that there might be a big change is that the mount is carrying a Bowgun in the sack on the side, so this might be a hint that you can bring 2 weapons per hunt and switch between them(not sure how fast since it's on the mount, might still need to take a break and go to your mount to switch instead of instant swapping, but still). They might design things differently around that like having more monsters with dual element weaknesses(there's a few in the game already where they're weak to one element until you break a part then the exposed part is weak to another element) or multi monster hunts being a more integral part of the game(so you bring a weapon for one mob and another for the other depending on how comfortable you are with them).

Anyway it's pretty far off even if it's early 2025 that's over a year away, so there's plenty of time for them to release more info. Don't really expect any other news until next summer though.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to give World a real go at some point. I hope I get as much out of it as most people seem to.

You can lock on in MHW(and Rise), although lock on is pretty bad in this series(and also in Dark Souls on a lot of fights, it's a lot easier to dodge properly when not locked). And there's not really any killing a "family of wolves" past like the first 10mins of the game so maybe that's where you stopped. A few missions basically have you kill the wild life stuff but that's like tutorial shit, past a point you only fight large monsters(other than side quests for completion which will involve stuff like gathering stuff, carrying a giant egg around and well killing trash mobs but these are pretty much optional).

It is somewhat different from Souls still though, it has a farming aspect, as in farming mobs for their drops but also gathering materials and producing more materials passively in cities to make consumables and armor/weapons. Souls you rarely have to actually stop and grind souls(every now and then or if you suck a lot but for the most part you can kinda just go from start to finish without grinding) while MH will definitely have you kill the same monsters 10-20times to get rare drops and enough of the semi rare drops to craft the full set(or not if the set sucks, just depends). And you will want to gather stuff as you run around to make consumables since you go through a lot of them to make hunts faster, but with MHW and Rise they streamlined that part a lot letting you pick up stuff as you move instead of having to stop to gather constantly like in the older ones.

Combat is also different in various aspects, hunts last longer than Souls fights, often involve breaks inbetween where you have to chase the monster who moved to another place, combat pacing is different, weapons entirely lock you to a playstyle versus the stat/gear based "make your own build" setup in souls and so on. Most fights are also usually "easier" with recovery being virtually infinite(can run out of consumables but in MHW/R you can restock mid hunt without gathering) and the fact you can cart twice before wiping fully, although some bosses are still pretty tough.

Those graphics look like shit compared to MHW....and this is for PS5. MHW is the only one I sunk more than 100 hours into and I really really want this to be the next MHW. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Not sure if the info is accurate but I'd give Team Darkside the benefit of the doubt.
