We have Keeping Sway and Spinning Meteor! I am beyond excited to bonk

As a hammer main I feel compelled to give this a shot when Wilds comes out. From what I've read it seems they are combining the best aspects of World and Rise iterations which sounds really fun. Gonna doot and bonk all the new monsters

Hah, you were faster this time! New info!! Exciting times

Thanks for posting this @sh.itjust.works. Kbin.social didn't update when I submitted it that way, and it doesn't look like kbin.run is federated with them at all. In the future I may just crosspost links/discussions to two magazines instead of all of the ones I'm subscribed to. You can and should post them in places that I don't.

They had that feature in Rise/Sunbreak. That might be an option during hunts. Cutscenes might retain the voice over.

I won't always be. Today was just a good day for it. I'm very very excited for Wilds and just taking in all info that I can.

Some highlights: Kaname Fujioka, Executive Director/Art Director: "And so our goal really is to use the camera and other effects in the game to kind of shift focus as the players experience the game. We're not trying to make it like a movie. We're not trying to make it explicitly cinematic. It's more that the camera work and the different kind of focus elements in the game, like the seamless transition between some of the gameplay elements and the events are kind of servicing the immersive feel that the player experiences; so creating dramatic moments, not just during story gameplay and other gameplay, but during hunts and during combat as well. That work is kind of dramatically servicing what we want players to focus on visually and to increase their immersion." "Can you tell me why you decided to give the Palicos voiceover in Wilds? YT: So the answer is kind of really simple. It is the fact that the Palico and the handler accompany you into the field, and this time in Wilds, there are so many different environmental changes and things happening in real time. So there's lots more information to parse, and as support characters, the Palico and the handler, having voices helps the player to understand what's happening, because they pick up on all the different information that the player needs to know and provide advice for the player to understand what's going on and how to approach all the different environmental changes. And of course, you can also have it "meow, meow, meow" as in previous titles. So you can give it cat-speak in the game if you really choose." "Awesome. Thank you. Can you tell me if any of the weapons got a big overhaul, kind of similar to how the Hunting Horn got an overhaul in Rise? YT: Yeah, so if you had to really answer this briefly, it's really the two Bowgun types. So the Light Bowgun and Heavy Bowgun have received some of the most kind of broad action changes, as well as the Hunting Horn. The Hunting Horn is going back more to a World-basis of the action, but on top of that, it's also introduced a lot of other changes. So we hope you're looking forward to that."
