In the realm of Monster Hunter, Wilds promised a leap in graphical fidelity that left fans salivating. However, the first open Beta revealed a slew of issues, from performance hiccups to low-polygon creatures that felt more awkward than awe-inspiring. The development team scrambled to address these concerns, tweaking system requirements and implementing AMD FSR upscaling to boost performance on PC. Despite these efforts, the question remained: could Monster Hunter Wilds deliver on its ambitious scale at launch?
Comparing Wilds to its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, the game introduces a host of new features that elevate the player experience. From detailed ecosystems to seamless transitions between environments, Wilds immerses you in a world teeming with life and dynamic weather conditions. The graphical prowess shines through in character models and environmental details, adding a layer of realism to the monster-slaying action. Yet, not all is sunshine and rainbows, as the PS5 version struggles with desaturated colors and inconsistent brightness levels.
On the PC front, Monster Hunter Wilds offers a plethora of graphic settings and options, allowing players to fine-tune their experience to suit their hardware capabilities. The PS5 version, on the other hand, presents a mixed bag of performance modes, each with its own set of compromises in image quality and frame rates. Despite these challenges, the PC version emerges as the clear victor in the battle of quality and performance, showcasing superior image quality and smoother frame rates. As players embark on their monster-hunting expeditions in Wilds, they are met with a blend of awe-inspiring landscapes and technical hiccups that underscore the game's ambitious scope and the limitations of the RE Engine.
