Monster Hunter Generations – new Styles trailer, playable at PAX East

Capcom has issued a new Monster Hunter Generations trailer to highlight the gameplay mechanics known as Styles and Hunter Arts. Both of these “allow for an even more visually striking and personalized playstyle than ever before,” the company says.

Here’s a rundown of Styles from Capcom:

Each hunting Style opens up different ways to tactically take on foes. Each Style also allows access to different Hunter Arts, indispensable combat skills and power-ups that can be unleashed with the tap of a button when charged, making it easy to execute these special moves.

• Aerial Style – Adds a new jumping ability which allows players to attack from above, opening up more opportunities to mount a monster and potentially knock it down.
• Guild Style – Classic gameplay for all 14 weapons and will feel familiar to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate players.
• Adept Style – Rewards players for learning enemy behaviors and performing a counterattack, giving players more tactical dodging and blocking options based on the current weapon type in use.
• Striker Style – A versatile powerhouse that revolves around building up and unleashing incredibly advantageous Hunter Arts.
