Well plain and simple its ugly. Surprising since Tri G looked pretty good. The new gameplay elements however look great.

They develop for 3DS so they don't have to invest in higher quality tech. The lower the console specs the better for these cheapskate devs. It's not just Capcom, though, it's most JRPG devs that like to use old engines for their games. Hell, just look at Pokemon.

I agree....but even and the Monster Hunter games on the PSP looks better....

Monster hunter freedom unite....on the PSP.

That's monster hunter Tri on the Wii. How do I know so you don't back pedal? I have the game and the weapon he is holding is forged from a monster not in the PSP games. On top of that, Tri has better graphics than that pick to boot :)

As far as I know it was in portable 3 though which was on the PSP. The laggi weapon gives away its tri though.

a further more it seems like they scaled back the graphics because this game is going to be alot more open. The big terrain is going to facilitate the jumping and climbing mechanics

Looked pretty bad in that video no doubt. I do imagine it will look better after more development and on a 3DS screen in motion however.

One thing that I'm wondering is how multiplayer is going to be handled .

If the game is going to be open ended, does this mean there's still going to be a hub to connect with players?

i think the structure will be roughly the same, but the levels won't be broken into various tiny areas connected by corridor passages anymore.

Pretty much this. Open world on a handheld? It'd bound to have some uglies. Hopefully they can make the non-rendered distance look better though. I agree that part does look bad.

Besides this is MH...it's gonna have a huge, expansive world to traverse; graphical detail becomes second tier at that point.

2013 game releases shouldn't be in the same sentence as PS1 in a graphics discussion. Period.

People forget what GFX the PS1 and Ps2 had, this looks much better then most gamecube games. Either way none of the Monster hunter games have ever impressed me with GFX. There pretty hardcore fun experience that sell systems at about half what pokemon does, which could put it on Mario kart levels.

The amount of fail you just demonstrated by attempting to bash a game on a nintendo console by trying to pass of a shot from another version of that game from another Nintendo console as a PSP version is staggering.

In the last week you have posted a positive article about the 3DSXL and now this.....

People complain about Monster Hunter graphics? Really? It's the last thing to complain about a Monster hunter game. The best one of the series aka. Freedom Unite looks like sh!t.

Looks like there'll be alot of climbing, running and platforming in this game. Hopefully there're still big enough platform to run around without jumping here and there when fighting monsters, and platforming shouldn't hinder gathering and speed running.

I think you need a refresh how PS1 games looked like:

Are you serious? Taking the very worst picture of a game almost a year off even though there are much better ones, and comparing them to completed games with static backgrounds in controlled environments and simplistic characters?

i wasnt saying the whole game was like that, i was merely showing a snippet from the trailer which looked extremely ugly and thought i would point it out. Nothing wrong with that.

There isnt time to tidy that up? You don't think its duplicitous cherry picking single screenshots instead of looking at the whole picture?

no, not really. Especially since the game is pretty ugly as a whole. As i said i was noticed how ugly the textures were (even by psp/3ds standards) and thought they deserved to be brought to everyones attention. So what if its cherry picking, its there and present in the trailer. Stop trying to make something of my post.

im not, as i said i dont care for MH4 after playing freedom unite (which also looked bad) Just calling them how i see them and to be honest, the graphics in the whole trailer were consistently bad. It hardly looks better than freedom unite, a psp game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvIjEBp1mTM
