you ever see skyrim mods or a cheesy mod of another game using an engine like unreal? yeah this essentially is what this game looks like. basically 2nd gen monster hunter poured through cryengine.

if they're going to do it justice then they should have been more up to date with monster hunter and actually made the monsters and characters to the mh feel. just bumping up a rathian using cryengine doesn't make it monster hunter and for someone so purist with monster hunter i'm surprised you don't see the flaw here. capcom should be doing a game like this themselves and with a better engine from their own studios.. it should look like this

and instead we get this from tencen

with a monster hunter title slapped on.. lacking the atmosphere, lacking the same care tsujimoto gives to his games. revamped designs and all.. even mh4 for how shotty it looks manages to capture the monster hunter feel more than this.

so yeah i do care that a game like this is so talked about just because of teh grafix. it could look alot better than it does right now. maybe if capcom and tsujimoto were too poor to afford better assets for an mh game that they HAD to use middleware but this is obviously not the case.
