New Monster Hunter 4 details and screenshots

New villages explained

The men behind Monster Hunter 4 have revealed more about the villages you'll visit during the new 3DS adventure. In an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Kaname Fujioka also discussed the camera.

Villages

As you may already know, you'll be travelling around the world by caravan this time. As a hunter, you'll be hired by the caravan leader before visiting a variety of villages, each of which has its own mayor and culture.

According to Tsujimoto, you'll also meet a large variety of characters on your adventure and the producer hopes that this will add to the drama in a game in which the emphasis is on adventure.

Famistu also revealed more about Barubare, the first village you'll visit in Monster Hunter 4. This market village is the meeting point for many people and is where you'll travel to register your hunter.

It is reported that Barubare will have everything you'd expect from a Monster Hunter village but other villages will boast special facilities.

It is Fujioka's desire that players will select a favourite village that will become the main base of operations.

Free Camera

Monster Hunter 4 now has a new free camera as well as a target camera which made its debut in Monster Hunter 3G. The target camera is only possible thanks to the 3DS touchscreen.

The Monster Hunter 4 release date is set for Spring 2013 in Japan. The game has yet to be confirmed for the UK. Do you want it?

    It would be good if it came to the UK, but then again it's good if any game comes to the UK.
