Just thought I'd share. This is the new Monster Hunter 3 trailer. It's looking much better than I thought it would. Besides the obvious graphical enhancements, the overall animations on the monsters (non CG movie ones, in game graphics) really impressed me.
Anyone know if this is going to come to the states?

Preferably uncensored.
haha at least you don't live in Germany.. talk about extreme censorship o_O
I can haz graffix?
I guess wii owners do deserve some solid in depth titles though, and this looks like it might be one, although playing it on wii will just make me sad for all the things which won't be able to make it into the game.
Loved the idle dragon animations though, my favourite part of this game was how it did feel a bit like a real ecosystem (yes, I'm looking at you spore) I hope they expand upon that with the monsters hunting both each other and you more, I mean, I know it has to be a bit faked to give the hunters a chance against the giant monsters bu it would be nice to see more of the monster-monster interaction.
If it's a good game what does it matter what system it's on? The only differences that I can think is the online system.. which with WiiSpeak and the freedom to not have to use friend codes, that's not a problem. As far as I see it, I think it's natural for a game like this that can get a little repetitive to get some motion control to spice it up. If they can make it look this beautiful on the Wii, why not build it for this system instead? Their other choice was the PS3 originally. Considering that that system is now in last place, under the 360 and PS2 even in japan, I think they made a wise choice. It's why FFXIII has been delayed quite a bit.. they publically said they don't want to release the game on a system in which doesn't have a large enough user base to get the sales they would want a FF game to make.
On any game nowadays, having a game on all three systems is silly. Too often you get the "star wars unleashed" effect, where some platforms get the shaft. I'd rather they simply focused on one system, whatever it may be.
They removed all the blood last time, if I recall correctly, the result being that it was impossible to know when monsters were being injured.

Costs too much to develop this for the HD consoles.
Not worth the risk for Capcom. Seriously. The game is much more popular in Japan. They can't afford to develop it for the PS3 (or 360) and then sell it to that tiny japanese installed base. The Wii is a much better bet. Much greater installed base in both Japan and in the west. Much better chances of success.
Understand why it's on Wii only now?
It's not Capcom's fault that they don't want to lose a lot of money. It's not Nintendo's fault that they have the most successful platform. It's not Sony's fault that their system costs so much to develop for, and that due to its tech, they had to price it so high that the most relevant market (Japan) for the Monster Hunter franchise didn't buy enough PS3 consoles to develop an installed base substantial enough to outweigh the risk of publishing the game on that platform. It's not MS's fault that the Japanese didn't take to their system as well as they would hope. This is just how it is, the realities of the market for a game like this. And considering these factors from a financial standpoint, it makes sense. The only thing that would make more sense would be Monster Hunter 3 on the PSP or Nintendo DS, from a financial standpoint. But I think Capcom wants to develop interest in the franchise in the console space as well as the portable space too.

Oh Europe, is there no game you can't ruin?
I'd only play a wii version till I got too bored of it to hassle with disc switches and logins and whatnot. I'd play the PC version pretty consistently if it came over here.
It's been confirmed that you can use the classic controller too, so waggle probably won't be too much of an issue.
The same can be said about games being on 360 instead of ps3. With the extra capacity of blu-ray, you could put so much more content. And as for using multi-discs, there's eventually a limit of what is ridiculous. Don't rag on a game because there's greater potential elsewhere. There's almost always greater potential elsewhere. Just be happy that a good game is being made, and if it really is important to you, buy a system you can play it on.
The game is looking great, and the announcement of split screen co-op is awesome. It always made me sad that most games had abandoned split screen play. Playing through gears of war online instead of split screen just wouldn't have been as fun for me.
Very cool graphical style.
Whats up with the big fucking retarded swords?
edit: that didn't come out right, but whatever, you get the idea
To hell with what console it is on, as long as it has online without going through some convoluted third party method.
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
The game is definitely geared around 4 people or less. Any more than that and it would be too chaotic.
YES
YES!
Really, I think older gen graphics have a certain kind of charm for them. I dont need self casted shadows, specular mapular techtacular, with bump phesa mapping.
As long as it has that MH style and atmosphere I am happy. Judging from that trailer the game is bleeding with atmosphere. Good show capcom, good show.
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
I'm reminded of that Nico prototype.

Well then huzzah that it's for Nintendo. Nintendo disk based games have had a good rate of a lack of loading screens. Since there isn't as much info to load as let's say, a PS3 game, background loading works really well (think Metroid Prime or Rogue Squadron, etc etc). I wouldn't be surprised, being Capcom, that they make this as good as they can.
Judging from Capcom's games so far and upcoming games, they are the best third party company for the Wii at the moment. Everything has polish, and that's sadly lacking in many third party games for the Wii these days.
Much love to NeoGAF guys for providing these links

I am so fucking elated, goddamn.
Thanks for the intel. Yes, this game looks amazing... I have full confidence in Capcom.
One bit of beef though, the guy in that video cant play worth anything. All he did was swing and swing and swing for no reason for minutes on end, and once the monsters actually attack he sheathed his sword... and they hit him... wth.
That's what it had with MH1 on the PS2. It was convoluted though. You had several severs, then several worlds within servers. So you dug a couple menus deep, jumped into a server, and you had your starter hub town to run around in. You met up in the tavern, got a quest, then got your group to the door on the other side of the tavern to leave through the quest door. It was a lot like PSO in that respect.
Still bummed that this is for the Wii, but hey, maybe this will be the motivator for me to get one. Played the first one to death.
The queue to play this was around 4 hours long (wait till the public arrive at the weekends...), I also suspect a time limit was put in place, so the player probably didn't have enough time to figure out the wiimote controls. I personally think they're a a little cumbersome (twisting the 'mote to use different attacks won't be fun during heated moments when you choose the wrong attack). I'll probably be picking up a classic controller for this.
I hope to god they put in a low battery warning like in Mario Galaxy, I would not want to lose controller connection online
Yes. The question is will they.
We've already had several games that used their own online system, but the most notable one was MoH Heroes 2 from EA, and they already had their own online system. Does Capcom?
Also their decision to let you use the classic controller is glorious and more devs need to do this. I realize the wii remote is a major feature of the Wii but lets face it: there are just some games that it doesn't work for.
