Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

The folks over at Siliconera dissected the newest Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate footage to hit the web and noticed something unique in the footage that the series hadn’t previously seen. At around the 3:35 mark, it looks as if the character has multiple speeds to recover from being knocked down, similar to that of the recently released Ultra Street Fighter IV. Another feature to appear in this video are auto-chat which provide the ability to communicate premapped phrases with your party. Check out all this and more in the video below and let us know what you think!

Amazon is the first to open pre-orders for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and it looks like reservations just kicked off today. You can place an order here.

Capcom showed a new trailer for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in a Japanese Nintendo Direct held last month. The video showed a new feature in which Felyne companions can launch hunters up into the air to attack monsters.

Director Kaname Fujioka has since explained how it works. He told Siliconera:

“The way the system with the Felynes works is quite different from what we had in [Monster Hunter 3]. When you bring your Felyne companions along with you in 4, they have stats, just like any other character would.”

“And what happens is, when you have other players who bring their own Felynes along, depending on how the stats match up, they’ll end up performing different things to help you out. They can lay traps, they can notify you when enemies are in a weakened state. It depends on what kind of Felynes you have, and how they combine with the other ones during the quest.”

“One of the new things we added specifically for 4 Ultimate over 4 is that, one of the things these Felynes can do now is launch the player up into the air. And that does behave essentially the same way as a jump attack. Same damage, same animation. It allows you to do it in places you couldn’t normally perform a jumping attack.”
