Looks fun and I will buy it, but the graphics took a big hit since that first trailer. I'm hoping the reason for that is the game is really big, as in tons of shit to do.

They should have the RE:Revelations team help with coding.

And in a small screen. Lots of people seem to forget that alot.

Capcom provided us with plenty of Monster Hunter 4 footage in last week's trailer, but little in the way of details. This week's Famitsu comes to the rescue with a huge blowout on the game containing first specifics about how this new numbered MH game will play.

Here's a bit of what's leaking out from this week's issue:

• The game will not have water segments (water was one of MH3's big features)
• There will be some new elements surrounding Felynes. You'll once again be able to take two Felynes out with you on hunts.
• The game will have new weapons, but these are being kept secret for now. It will also have new armor designs.
• The game's story with the greatest number of NPCs in series history.
• Monsters will make use of the land formations.
• Under certain conditions, you'll be able to grab on to the monsters. (I'm not sure if this means you'll be able to ride the monsters or just latch on to them for attacking.)
• You'll be able to make use of hight differences in the stages to perform jump attacks.
• The game will have a free camera.
• Rather than a fixed base camp like past Monster Hunter games, your base camp will now move -- somewhat like a caravan.

The magazine's information box lists the game as supporting 1 to 4 players, with support for local play (this may not necessarily mean no online play, although local play would be the norm for portable entries in the series). Ryozo Tsujimoto is listed as producer, with Kaname Fujioka listed as director.

A big reveal in Famitsu hopefully means a big reveal at the official site later this week... or at least some screenshots at Famitsu.com.

That sounds great! I haven't played the other Monster Hunter games besides the Wii one but those water sections always felt awkward and annoying. Good riddance. I also like the sound of taking 2 Felynes helpers out instead of the little shakalaka whatever thing. He was okay and kind of funny but really kind of felt useless to me most of the time.
