Not map size, content. So they're saying there will be a similar amount of gameplay to the original game.
Based on what they've said and shown, I think this means one new biome in Hoarfrost, which is bigger than any existing map, plus new monsters which will appear in different biomes, including ones that already exist.
We've seen the latter with at least Narga. I would hope this also means we can expect close to 30 monsters in the expansion.

size means everything

>rival the original release! >only one new area and 4 monsters shown despite multiple trailers
>we can expect close to 30 monsters in the expansion >such as "variants" of existing monsters >Silver Rathalos, Gold Rathian, Oroshi Kirin, Rusted Kushala NOW THAT'S CONTENT
I wish my mam would still buy me toys for christmas
Gavin Williams
They've only shown one trailer though

initial reveal + state of play

-t 90% of all "new" monsters will either be subspecies or returning monsters, like every single G rank game, they'll double the roster size by adding in stupid subspecies for every new World monster with little actual variance in them other than a color and locale change. it's like you console warring faggots have never actually played a MH game before
Zachary Peterson
And? Prior releases did the same thing. In fact, you literally just named monsters from prior releases. What's your point? As long as the mechanics of the fight change, it's a new challenge.
We have one new skeleton in Narga (and presumably Tigrex.) I'm hoping we get an insectoid or ape skeleton as well which will open up a lot of options.
Hudson Edwards
I'm in a similar boat. If we get ten monsters and one new biome for $40 I'm gonna feel ripped off. If it's closer to 20-30, I'll be happier. The fact that it's one new map makes me heavily doubt that it will actually rival the base game, but on the other hand the maps aren't the majority of the content anyway.
Ayden Price
please no more gen 1/2 trash. narga is fine because its the only monster equal to its successor barioth. The rest are shit baring a few elder dragons
I just hope they add quests with large and small monsters so i can get the crowns.

>2019 >Still not having both consoles and a gaming PC Literally bought them working for 2 months.
I even bought a second Switch to hack it.
Still play my PS4 a fuckton more though.

I'm actually disappointed to see how large the map is. I was hoping they'd go back to their roots and make a small Tundra arena that isn't covered with useless bullshit that only open world-fags like.
God I love stroking it to these threads Poorfags who can only afford a 3ds do everything they can to throw salt on world even though it's the best one in the franchise by the biggest mile
So Frost Tobi-Kadachi, and paralysis Paolumu etc then? one arctic themed subspecies for every monster i'll wager. At least that means Jade Barroth will probably return, I'm always happy for a chance for at least one version of barroth that isn't super gimped by his "early game" status.
i don't like nargacugas new theme, it's trying too hard to be epic but fails.

In this game, it does somewhat since you now need to track monsters down over their hunting grounds. So the larger the space you have to cover, the longer and potentially more dangerous the hunt will be.
Ian Martin
that goes for almost all of World's music, they fell for the generic western orchestra meme
Henry Rodriguez
But MHGU has the best roster. It's literally a Best Of roster from previous MH games and it has some of my favorite new monsters too. World is fun though, I just wish its new monsters were consistently good. Tobi is one of my favorite new additions
Landon Reed
>But MHGU has the best roster. way too much gen 1/2 trash bloating it. MH3U has the best roster, 4U is second place but suffers from gen1/2 trash a bit as well though not as much as GU
Eli Ross
Fuck off Shill.
Eli King
>Ukanlos and Akantor turf war Fuck it they had these faggots in the elder recess art, shove them in some crystal hole and let them fight capcom, what the fuck are you waiting for?
Anthony Murphy
We never paid full price anyways.
Grayson Reyes
>We have one new skeleton in Narga (and presumably Tigrex.) That's not a new skeleton, it's just the standard flying wyvern skeleton. The difference is almost entirely in the animations. Actual new skeletons almost definitely aren't happening in Iceborne.
They can't prominently showcase an Iceadrome as if it's a new and exciting monster and expect me to get hyped for it. Especially when Zamtrios already exists.
