I thought this was interesting. "The Iwata Asks column was focused on Monster Hunter 3G, which Fujioka is directing. However, towards the end, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata asked a few questions about MH4. Regarding the September video, Iwata noted that many were wondering how Capcom would be able to make the scenes shown in the video playable. While Fujioka did not share any gameplay specifics about 4, he replied that the footage was real time footage of the game being played by the staff."

It didn't look like an FMV anyway, so that's the only other explanation

I can't wait to see how it'll look like in its final stages. :D

Monster Hunter, definitely one of the best video game made ever!

Though, the way the camera switches angles is definitely not player controlled though. Who in his right mind would run forward when the camera is looking at you sideways? You can't see anything important that way.

that's the cinematic staff picking dramatic angles from the footage.

Wow, that was being played by someone? I could tell they were probably using an in-game engine for the scenes, but I didn't think it was playable. I'll add this news to the 3DS Info Thread during the next update, thanks for posting about it.

Here is the MH4 trailer, for anyone that hasn't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v2hoUuJ9aM

It seems like they're trying to make the game more cinematic based on that trailer at least.

Maybe they'll call it Monster Hunter 4: Uncharted Edition. :P
