One Monster Hunter Wilds fan recreated the box art of the first game in the series by using photo mode while fighting a Rathalos. Monster Hunter Wilds has proven to be a big hit with gamers, as it quickly became Capcom's fastest-selling title in the history of the company and has been received well by critics.
The original Monster Hunter was first released in Japan in March 2004 for the PlayStation 2. While the title did offer gamers the ability to play offline by themselves, people received more rewards and encountered exclusive monsters while playing online with others. While the franchise originally filled somewhat of a niche role within the gaming space, each mainline entry has continued to grow in popularity.
Monster Hunter Wilds Fans Aren’t Happy About Capcom’s Edit Vouchers
Monster Hunter Wilds players express their frustration with the use of paid edit vouchers in Capcom's popular action role-playing game.
In a recent post on Reddit, noiwontcalmdown shared an image of their hunter wielding the Jawblade greatsword against the flagship monster of the first game, Rathalos. The picture does an incredible job of recreating the box art that accompanied the original Monster Hunter on the PlayStation 2. Some fans were quick to point out that it would have been even better if Capcom had made the Origin Armor available, but most were struck by how well the player had reimagined the artwork. While it isn't the flagship monster any longer, Rathalos is still deadly in Monster Hunter Wilds, which means getting the perfect shot likely took quite an effort.
Monster Hunter Wilds Player Recreates the Original Game’s Box Art
Noiwontcalmdown explained that, after they manually paused the game in offline mode, they could go into Monster Hunter Wilds' photo mode to make a few adjustments. Unfortunately, because the title was paused, they didn't have the ability to swivel the camera or tweak its angle. They could, however, manipulate the field of view and distance of the camera. It seems as if capturing the perfect shot was a process of trial and error that likely took some time, but many fans were ecstatic to see the franchise's original box art come to life in a whole new way.
Another gamer who was recently experimenting with Monster Hunter Wilds' photo mode noticed that Alma will actually react to the player taking pictures. She'll sometimes wave at the camera or even pull out one of her archeological artifacts to show off. One person even said that entering photo mode caused her to run into the shot in order to pose with the hunter. With so many details to discover and secrets to unravel, many fans seem to be enjoying their time with Monster Hunter Wilds.
