Summary
- Monster Hunter Wilds won't have a fifteenth weapon type, but it's something Capcom regularly discusses.
- It would be an "extremely difficult task" to add a new weapon type that's immediately on par with the complexity of the existing archetypes.
- The team would rather allocate their resources elsewhere.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monster Hunter Wilds is the sixth mainline entry in the beloved series by Capcom. Each successive instalment in the Monster Hunter series is immediately recognisable. T🙈he series has a defined style, and Capcom is cognizant of what Monster Hunter fans enjoy and want to see. While each new release brings plenty of fresh, innovative ideas to the series, one aspect of Monster Hunter that remains largely untouched is the series' weapon types.
Monster Hunter currently has fourteen weapon types, with Monster Hunter 4 (2013) being the last mainline entry to add new ones: the charge blade and insect glaive. In an interview with Italian outlet (spotted by ), executive art director Kaname Fujioka and series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto were questioned on whether the team has thought about adding new weapons to Monster Hunter over the last decade. The following response has been machine-translated by Google, so there may be somไe inaccuracies.
"The truth is, it's something we talk about all the time... all the time," Fujioka replied. "We've never really abandoned the idea of adding new weapon archetypes, we just haven't done it recently, in the last few [games]. The truth is, we have a lot of ideas that have been piling up over the years about what weapons we could add. We're always thinking about what a new weapon could add to the gameplay without overlapping too much with existing we꧂apons, without offering a similar experience."
An "Extremely Difficult Task"
Tsujimoto echoed his colleague, saying each of the fourteen existing weapon types have become so complex that adding a neꦅw one that's as fleshed out as its counterparts is a difficult task: "Over the years we've developed the existing fourteen weapons so much that each one has a very deep combat system and is capable of doing ♋very exciting things," Tsujimoto explained.
"Now, achieving a high level of mastery over just one of them has become such a complex task that it's extremely difficult to invent a new category that can immediately prov♌e to be on par with the "legacy" variants. If we think about the last two editions, they too had ten years of evolution, so it's even more difficult to think of sufficiently deep design."
The team is capable of doing so, but Tsujimoto also explains that it's a matter of resource allocation. As he said, adding a new weapon type i🎉s "extremely difficult" and would require a significant investment of time and resources. Aꦺs it stands, the team would rather spend those resources elsewhere.
