Capcom, Please Consider Adding Replay to Arenas

[bmads]

Dear Capcom,

Please consider adding a replay feature for the arena quests in future MH titles/updates.

This wouldn't be just a Quality of Life feature allowing players to review sessions without recording them, it would also allow to review other players' runs and verify if they are legit or not.

In my opinion, if the arena quest time limit needs to be brought down because of such feature, then that's a bullet we should be willing to bite. And, if we can only have playback for the best times, that would be fine too. I don't think a state of the art playback system is warranted for MH, a simple playback system would be better than none at all.
This implementation could also be an investment for potential future MH titles' features, such as "Play of the Game" like replays post quest completion.

I understand what is being asked could be potentially hard, specially having in mind the non deterministic nature of MH engine with respect to framerate dependant results on certain interactions, but this is a feature you've already implemented in other games, so you should have the resources and competency required to add it.

Kind Regards

They don't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about leaderboards.

This is not just about the leaderboards.

I see the synergy that a replay backend could have for other features in the game besides arenas.

Capcom has gone on record saying that some of the stuff that we got now in Wilds had roots in their experimentation with World.
Wilds could also be the experimentation bed for future features (besides the new ones we already got).

I'm not asking this feature for Wilds necessarely (despite the last paragraph kinda pointing in that direction), but is something that Capcom should, depending on user feedback, consider investing into.
