Although I'm still a little bitter about the idea, I think this may be harkening back to Monster Hunter's original concept. I remember looking at one of its early trailers on Youtube (I mean early early) and it had what looked like an open world format. I just think they may have the popularity to take such a risk. I wonder how they would redo Lao for open world, he'd benefit the most from open world, and he'd actually attack. (Here's that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOA6bWVlmvU )
