Monster Hunter Tri is the third installment in the Monster Hunter series and is the direct sequel to Monster Hunter Dos. It was first announced for the PlayStation 3, but was canceled. Capcom, specifically Capcom managing corporate officer Katsuhiko Ichii, announced on October 10, 2007 that Monster Hunter 3 will be a Wii-exclusive title. Tri is currently one of the only two games that include swimming and underwater combat.
Players choose a weapon and complete quests for "The Guild". There are several types of quests, categorised into gathering quests, hunting quests, and capturing quests. Completing specific quests will allow one to embark on an "Urgent Quest" which will allow progression to the next tier of quests, which applies to both offline and online play. Online players receive points and have a Hunter Rank which will increase once a certain number of points have been obtained. After several rank ups, and having a certain criteria of quests completed, a player will unlock the next Urgent Quest. Players will need to gather materials to prepare for hunts which include herbs, mushrooms, bones, hides, horns and seeds to make "potions", various other consumables and new equipment to give one the edge when fighting a formidable foe. Fighting a monster entails first finding the monster then dealing enough damage to either kill it, weaken it to be captured, or cause it to flee (not common, made specifically for certain quests). Players will need to learn the environments and the behaviors of the creatures. Online, many players will work together to try and take the monster or monsters down. Once the player slays a monster they will be able to carve off pieces which can be taken to the Wyverian Artisan (the blacksmith) to create new weapons and armor. Several other materials are used to make weapons and armor as well, including ores and certain bugs. A player can fail a quest several ways, the three most common being dying too many times (most quests allows 3 deaths total), running out of time (standard quest time is 50 min), or killing a monster when the quest goal was specifically to capture. Both online and offline players are given a house which they can decorate with various objects found throughout the game, although online players receive "upgraded" houses when they progress in rank.
Monster Hunter Tri G, or Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as it was announced for the West, is an expansion to the original Tri. It was first released for the Nintendo 3DS on December 10, 2011 in Japan as Monster Hunter Tri G.
It was announced that Tri G would be released in North America and Europe as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate], and will be also released on Wii U. Wii U edition features revised HD graphics, full online, local multiplayer, and the ability to import the game progress to the player's Nintendo 3DS. The Wii U port is known in Japan as Monster Hunter 3G HD, and will be released on December 8, 2012 when the Wii U launches in Japan.
Monster Hunter 4 is an upcoming game produced by Capcom. It is the second game in the Monster Hunter series to be released on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The game will be released in March 2013 in Japan. A Western release has been unconfirmed but is generally considered very likely due to the original success of Tri.
Monster Hunter 4 is vastly different from its predecessors as there is a stronger emphasis on platforming than before, walls can now be climbed more fluidly and in any direction, and for the first time Hunters can grab onto monsters and attack them. Environments shown also appear to be larger than before. It was stated that the game is going to put far more effort into adventure and storyline, The monsters in this game are also terrain aware and will use the environment to their advantage and the game will have a traveling base camp. Underwater battling will not be present. The game will have the most NPCs of any Monster Hunter game to date. The game will also have online multiplayer. As seen on the Capcom Sumer Jam event, players are now able to attack whilst midair.
Felyne Comrades are back in place of the two Shakalakas, Cha-Cha and Kayanba.
Some monsters that were not present in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate return in this game, such as Tigrex, Velociprey and Velocidrome. New monsters include a mysterious black dragon named Goa Magara and an orange monkey-like Pelagus known as Kechawacha. In the TGS trailer, three new monsters were revealed. A large spider-like Neopteron that uses webbing to coccoon the hunter in a Snowman like effect. A fanged toad-like beast that dwells in moist areas, and a large Jhen Mohran like beast that inhabits the Great Desert.
