Monster Hunter is one of the biggest properties created by the video game producers at Capcom, with last year seeing the arrival of the live-action movie starring Mila Jovovich that brought the monster-ridden world to the silver screen, and it seems like Netflix is also diving in on the video game franchise with an upcoming animated film. Using computer-generated graphics, Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild has released a new trailer and poster for the film that will arrive on the streaming service on August 12th, telling a new tale of the popular gaming universe.

 

[Kuranghi]

This looks like it cost 75p

 

[sojuwarrior]

That ps2 era cgi tho

 

[MrJTeera]

What is Atreus and Geralt doing in a Monster Hunter movie?

 

[raduque]

Who cares about this? Give me more Mila Jovovich fighting giant critters with flaming swords.

 

[odhiex]

That looks...meh. Nothing special

 

[lh032]

That ps2 era cgi tho

Eh I think it works well as a TV series ,pretty cool, not amazing visuals but it fits i think for an animation.

 

[MagnesG]

Netflix RE CGI series sucks ass. This one will follow through.

 

[Fbh]

Did someone at capcom find this on some lost hard drive from 2001?.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Thats some PS3 Heavenly Sword graphics.

 

[R6Rider]

Looks bad, but I'll still watch it.

 

[LordBlodgett]

This has terrible CGI

 

[Husky]

wow I could barely make it thirty seconds into this trailer

Why do companies keep letting Netflix make their godawful video game adaptations

 

[elbourreau]

My god, how can ANYONE greenlight the main hero face?... Looks like a shi##y DAZ model...

 

[Dr. Claus]

It's Netflix, so you have a 1% chance of it actually being good. 99% chance that it is being written by pathological dipshits who only want to preach and insult the audience.

 

[Skifi28]

Looks 20 times better than the movie and actually relates to the series lore. Sold.

 

[GymWolf]

It's like shit and piss had an ugly baby but i watch everything based on monster hunter.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Fucking crying at the kid in the poster looking like the Syberia box art pose.

 

[Revolutionary]

 

[brian0057]

Holy shit. That poster isn't doing them any favors at all.
And given how medioce the Resident Evil show was, I'm not looking forward to it.

 

[Ellery]

Absolutely ghastly

 

[near]

Netflix continues to saturate itself with trash-tier content.

 

[SJRB]

Holy shit this sucks.

Legit cannot remember the last time Netflix came with something that actually wowed me. Mindhunters, I guess? Dark?

Man it's been so long.

 

[SLB1904]

It's free

 

[Aion002]

Agreed!

Low budget light hearted Monster Hunter series with Geralt wannabe>>>>>isekai hollywood soldier saves the day.

 

[Ezquimacore]

That ps2 era cgi tho

If you'd have said late PS3 era you'd at least have been believable.

 

[Kenpachii]

Greg put on some weight lately

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Graphics on the PS4 game are better than this show... WTF Netflix!

 

[Danjin44]

This captures the feel of MH MUCH better than last movie with modern military.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Probably going to be ass but I'll check it out. Netflix should just give all the money invested into this to Capcom for more MH games. Not everything needs to be a show.

 

[Pejo]

You guys ever get the feeling that you'd rather something not exist than have have something new with "NETFLIX Presents..." attached to it?

 

[Slothbeing1209]

The animation looks really good.

 

[Revolutionary]

I

No, it really is PS2 era CGI. It looks very similar to the FFXI intro (which was PS2 era)


Not in-game PS2 graphics, of course. I realize now that's probably what you thought he meant, but I understood it as "CGI of that era"

 

[Kimahri]

It really isn't.

The fidelity of environments, level of detail, animation, everything is vastly superior in that MH trailer. That doesn't mean MH is impressive by today's standards by any means, but they're hardly comparable.

That said, the FFXI trailer fucking blew me away back then. The only ones who were even remotely in the same ballpark as square during those days were Blizzard. Every new video from those guys were a huge leap forwards.

Lmao come on man. You know damn well I'm not directly comparing the fidelity of something made in 2002 to something made in 2021. I said it looks similar to PS2-era CG, not exactly alike. Don't be silly.

PS3-era CG looks significantly better than the Monster Hunter show and FFXI's intro:


You can't possibly believe that this Netflix show looks more like A Realm Reborn's intro than FFXI's. Calling it PS2-era CG is apropos.

This isn't helping your point.

 

[Corpsepyre]

This looked BAD. They need to stop with the CGI. It just ages a lot worse than the rest of their animated series and films.

 

[KiteGr]

 

[Kuranghi]

Holy shit this sucks.

Man it's been so long.

I presume you mean the TV show about serial killers yeah? I immediately thought of this :




Its even funnier in German actually.

 

[Javthusiast]

Yeah... No thanks.

I rather take the shitty Mila live action movie instead.

 

[nivix]

What... what happened to their faces?

Cartoons, video games, real life, I guess faces are hard to get right.

 

[bender]

 

[Jurry132]

At least it will be better than that awfull live action movie

 

[Haint]

Watching the trailer before reading this thread, I was seriously about to post "looks like PS2 era CG", but was amused to see I was beaten.

Lay off the dope bro, FF13 GAMEPLAY was beyond most of the assets in this trailer:

That tree trunk's legit a real time PS2 asset, not even CG.

 

[SupremeHoodie]

Castlevania was good.

I'm not saying it looks good. I'm saying some folk in here's got some real distorted memories of PS2.

 

[kunonabi]

Castlevania was good.

The first episode was. The rest was utter trash.

 

[Kumomeme]

i gonna tell people that this is How To Train Your Dragon 1.5

 

[CAB_Life]

Looks atrocious.
