Capcom has finally released Dragon's Dogma 2 after a 12-year wait. While it feels more like a remake due to its classic mechanics, the game brings new elements like vocations, an expanded world, and an upgraded Pawn system. Among its standout features, there's one unique aspect that could revolutionize another Capcom favorite.

Monster Hunter is renowned for its tough monster battles, intricate crafting, diverse worlds, and co-op play. Cooking plays a vital role in every Monster Hunter title, offering buffs like health boosts. While each game has its own cooking approach, the live-action cooking scenes in Dragon's Dogma 2 could set a new benchmark for Monster Hunter.

Revolutionizing Cooking in Monster Hunter

Live-Action Cooking Scenes in Dragon's Dogma 2

In Dragon's Dogma 2, players can cook meat at campsites, enhancing stats. Unlike the chaotic cooking scenes in Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma 2 opts for a realistic live-action style, adding a touch of authenticity to the process.

Capcom's choice to use live-action scenes in Dragon's Dogma 2 for financial reasons could pave the way for a similar feature in the Monster Hunter series.

Embracing Innovation in Monster Hunter

Cooking is a beloved aspect of Monster Hunter that could benefit from the cinematic treatment seen in Dragon's Dogma 2. While Monster Hunter's whimsical Canteen meals pose a challenge for live-action adaptation, the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds offers an opportunity for Capcom to redefine the series with immersive cooking scenes.
