Monster Hunter: World
PlayStation 4™ | Expected to ship on 26 January 2018 – PRE-ORDER NOW!
There is no doubt that Monster Hunter: World was the largest title highlighted at Tokyo Game Show, as many fans have been waiting for this over 10 years (except MMO) and finally Capcom presented a brand-new monster hunter back on Sony PlayStation.
Rather than in the Sony Press Conference, Capcom brought the live gameplay and beta-testing for visitors during the show. However, all test quota were full within an hour of the show starting, we only hope the online beta test can come soon.
[CHECK OUT THE MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD STAND!]
During Tokyo Game Show, Capcom provided three different quests for players to experience diversity maps, levels of difficulty and remastered monsters in the new 3D model. In the TGS beta (trailer start from 35:55), Nergigante is shown in high speed and a powerful attack, as in the trailer the hunters are only allowed to take 3-4 hits from the monster and hunters must really concentrate to wait for the attack encounter. The monster itself shows the highest texture than all monster hunter games before, with un-destroyable sharp spikes and strong thick horns on Nergigante. Improvements in the concatenation of monsters’ behavior and with a spectacular environment this brings hunters to experience a total new monster hunter adventure.

Dynasty Warrior 9
PlayStation 4™ | Available Early 2018
Finally, we had a chance to have a look at Dynasty Warriors’ (also called Shin Sangoku Musou 8 in Japan) gameplay at TGS and it’s the first time Koei Tecmo inputed the open world system into the Warriors series. Unfortunately, a little disappointing that we didn’t see a big leap forward on new dynasty warriors 9 especially since we have been expecting this game so long since the 2014 dynasty warriors was released.

Here are the points of review for the gameplay and to be honest, we still hoping the game has more improvements in 2018.
- Improvement of fluency in the game combat seems producer would maximum FPS in TGS, we found screen frame has been cut while the character’s movement (jumps and special effects while attacking).
- Longtime travel on the map, most of the players expected characters can travel between the combat zoon by transfer instead of ride house by 2-3 mins without any of enemy.
As for a leak of in-game active by other characters and trigger trap system, we can’t find any of them shown in gameplay, but that has been one of the most successful factors in the past.
