![]() That Capcom is touting Monster Hunter 4's setpieces tells me a couple things. Of the action games on the market today, Dark Souls matches the breadth and depth of the weapon selection in a Monster Hunter game. But it's a long way from the tactical glories of Monster Hunter, where the weight and the swing of each of the dozen or so weapon types can completely alter the approach one takes to a monster battle. Against the larger monsters in particular, both caution and critical thinking must be exercised to avoid getting ripped to shreds in certain order. While Dragon's Dogma moves at a much faster clip than Monster Hunter, it's not exactly God of War or Ninja Gaiden. In short, it already feels a lot like Dragon's Dogma, even if the latter didn't have a whole lot in the way of platforming (that I can remember, at least). It suggests a faster, more action-oriented approach than the more conservative, tactical games of the past. %Gallery-149480%Monster Hunter battles have always been 'epic,' but this latest trailer seems to put more emphasis than ever on such setpiece moments. And, of course, he is clearly seen hanging for dear life on the back of a dragon while stabbing for all he's worth. He scales a sheer cliff in pursuit of a beast that looks like a cross between an orangutan and Stitch from Lilo & Stitch fame. He clings to a wall while a dragon-like Tigrex tries to torch him from below. In both the new trailer and last year's trailer, the main character can be seen hopscotching across chasms and swinging across ceilings. ![]() ![]() On the whole, Monster Hunter seems to be going for the faster, punchier feel of Dragon's Dogma, home of castle-destroying snake monsters and other beasts. All it's missing is B'z and his beautiful, completely nonsensical lyrics. It's not just the fact that you can grapple with monsters, but the overall feel of the whole presentation. Over the weekend, Capcom released a new trailer for Monster Hunter 4, and the whiff of Dragon's Dogma was unmistakable. Now though, the shoe is very much on the other foot. The developers expressed surprise, but given the presence of large, roaming beasts and Capcom's role as a publisher, the comparison was perhaps inevitable.
