Anyone else? Two new Monster Hunter Games for Switch in 2021

[Velkhana's Summer]

Rise and what else?
If anything this only gives me more hope for a third expansion to world.
For example before anyone knew of iceborne we had a world map with 4 empty corners.
Now we have the top two corners filled with guidinglands and Seliana/Hoarfrost.
The bottom right and left corner still bare and ready to be filled in with new locations. There is even an island similar to Madagascar in the bottom right. Now I'm not saying its confirmed or anything but you can connect some dots to draw conclusions that world still has more content in the future.
Lastly it is an Island habitat which is something we haven't had in world so it would not only fill in another missing climate but also give the possibility for more aquatic mechanics and maybe even bring back a version of water hunts.


Leave your thoughts below, and remember to check out the world map to see the bottom corners mentioned.

Where did I say I have trouble playing the game?

I said the engine is crap. Because it is. It's the same crap engine they've been using for over a decade now.

Issues properly streaming textures, missing visual effects, frame rate affecting certain animation timings(pierce is a particularly egregious example of that), not to mention the godawful netcode and ever-present Err12.

You're deluded if you think this game is running on a good engine and not a mess of spaghetti code they keep stapling more crap to.

Rise dumping MT Framework for RE Engine is one of the smartest things Capcom has done in years.

Edit: Oh, how could I forget the hilariously inept SSAO that looks like a bunch of blotchy squares instead of smooth shadowing?

I honestly don't deal with those issues minus the dreaded netcode. I agree with you though if there is a better option for the netcode then hell yeah go for it. Otherwise I just don't despise the engine like you i guess.

There won't be a 2nd expansion. Period.
Stories is a seperate thing, but they always alternated between handheld and main platform titles. Not to mention they often said "this is the LAST thing for MHW" even when they announced this patch not too long ago. If they had plans, they would need to MASSIVELY increase power in that expansion, because of how powerful Fatalis stuff is

[~KeNnEtH~]

The 2 new games announced are Monster Hunter: Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2.

Both are on Nintendo Switch.

The former is the standard kind of gameplay while the latter is sorta like Pokemon.

The product lifecylce for Monster Hunter World has ended.

Iceborne is the only planned expansion as per the same format it has been for the past 16 or so years. Generally, 1 game 1 expansion.

The lifecycle of Iceborne has also ended as the plan has always been to support the products (World and Iceborne) for one year each.

As for any potential exploration in the New World, just like the recent Fatalis update where we went back to the Old World, the entire game universe is connected. So, if they ever want to explore the 2 spots on the map, it can always be in another game.

oh yeah, ignoring the words of the game's developers, the true sign of intellectual conversation.

Third expansion for world? Please tell me where the second one is since there won't be any more content added to world.

To me a typo is something like tihs.

With false statements your posts looks like a troll but whatever

since people like being condescending trolls let me help ya out. When you take what people say word for word literally you end up investing in early access games like your library is full of with hundreds and even thousands of hours on some LOL. Yeeesh you are the epitome of intelligence

since you couldn't read the original post and just enjoy typing whatever trollish statement you see as clever, I'll help ya out.

Now I'm not saying its confirmed or anything

False statements when i never claimed any of it to be completely true unlike every person who felt the need to comment and thinks they are part of the dev group cause they read something the devs said.

I'm just saying by your statement that you're implying there is already a second expansion in the works which clearly is not...

Wishful thinking aside there won't be anything more to world besides maybe event quests.

At most another world like title in 5 years or so.

I was hoping this would be more intellectual than just people replying "no, cause the devs said so" acting as if people don't change and in this case a business that can make a helluva profit with minimal effort.

What a great bait. Even argued about the issues the engine has for the PC port.

that classic moment when wish thinking meets reality

We're looming on the edge of the next generation. At most you could expect them to pull their usual and remaster World for next gen + your addtional content in the form of those two corners or whatever adding new monsters, areas and a rank beyond Master Rank, which they've done in the past with other games, released the entire game again with an expansion pack for full price, etc.

I doubt they're going to do that though, and I really doubt they're going to randomly decide to keep adding content to World which is already old and tired and ready to be put to bed at this point in favour of a newer game coming along. We're already so powerful and geared out that a fresh restart is what is in order, not more expansion packs, as tempting as it would be to have stuff like a beach with crabs and a jungle with insectoids etc.

Save the cool stuff for a better game built with a better engine with better hardware in mind.

Also the engine is brilliant your pc is the one to blame.

I'm not all that interested in this discussion for the most part (the writing is on the wall and another major expansion is wishful thinking) but I wanna pitch in on this. Perhaps you aren't familiar with the dev history of this engine? It was made to run Megaman Legends 3 on the 3DS, and was then highly rigged to run MHW on PS4, and then rerigged to run it on PC. It required tons and tons of bug fixes just to keep from crashing. Even to this day it runs multiple redundant processes at high speed, reads from the hard drive 30 times a second to hash check a region of code that can't be modded anyway, and requires packaging entire swaths of game data just for a simple update (the recent 4GB update being a simple bug fix is telling). MT Framework was falling apart at the door, and continues to require massive amounts of proverbial duct tabe just to function.

I won't presume to know your background. But as somebody with a dev background and a programmig background, I feel pretty confident saying that it would be foolish to continue supporting this engine. The dev team likely don't want to continue to be associated with such an unoptimized engine, and the share holders most assuredly want them to be working on the next big thing. In game production (not development but production) the general consensus is that a sequel is always better than expansions; an expansion pulls in less money than a full game, and it can only be sold to the existing userbase. With a sequel, everybody is a potential new customer.

Why did Nintendo stop making and releasing DLC for Breath of the Wild, despite the facy that it was so popular and profitable? The answer is because they wanted to make BotW2. With the exception of live service games, this is how all game production has always worked.
