Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Capcom Community Specialist Yuri today confirmed over on Capcom Unity that the Western release of Monster Hunter 4 will not be able to be played with the Japanese version due to the game’s being hosted on different servers. This should come as no surprise to those who played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, as American and European players were able to communicate in that game but there was a disconnect with the Japanese version. Thankfully, you can still play online with anyone who has that version and not just people on your friends list.

Famitsu has published a new interview with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate director Kaname Fujioka and producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. For quotes from the discussion (as translated by Siliconera), head past the break.

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains new information about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. For a summary of what’s included in the magazine, read on below.

– Can send others flying on the back of monsters
– This gives a purpose to the move that’s used to send your buddies flying sky high
– When a monster sends you flying in the air, you won’t be able to take advantage of that and do the same thing
– The feature is being added due to the lack of ledges in some areas
– Capcom believes it will add a whole new way of cooperating with your fellow Hunters
– G-rank Guild Quests will be included
– Previous version only went up to seven stars in High Rank
– The G-rank will introduce tougher challenges and stronger monsters
– New sub-species for monsters like the Garara Ajara, Genel Serutas, Kechawacha, Tetsukabura, Zaboazagill,
– This will give them different characteristics and attacks from their normal counterparts
– The Old Desert area will also be making a return
– Will need Cold Drinks (and Hot Drinks during the night) to take on the likes of Cephadrome and Daimyo Hermitaur
– The trailer also teased a new monster at the end, which some feel that it may be related to Gore Magala

From Ryozo Tsujimoto:

“It has more of a slender body-type when compared with all the other monsters we’ve had up until now, and the distinct gap it has between its fingers will also be another focus. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination for the time being.”
