There is a full chat function, with which you can communicate with players in the lobby.

There are the pre-installed options for you to enter, if you prefer that.

We see them duking it out against a gigantic creature. Everyone is trying their own strategy.

It seems all pretty seemless, as you can all walk around freely. Chat function always active in the corner.

Finishing the monster off is done a quick timey sort of way.

Monster Hunter 4 themes are being discussed. It is, according to them, very clearly shown in the opening.

The game’s theme is also used in commercials, as it presents everything quite well.

There is also new function called an… item sensor? It allows you to find the more important items really.

They are talking about that the character can jump now, which allows for more action packed adventures.

The game still features a story, which is expanded a bit more in comparison to previous games.

You journey to different places, take on quests and they are many NPCs too.

Their bit is concluded with an overview of some more crazy monsters.
