Step Actions

When you find height differences in the land, you can run through these to make your character jump. While in mid air, you can perform attacks.

When the article is saying that the hunting insect is capable of jumping, he really means that the weapon allows you to jump anywhere. It's an awkward translation.

In the trailer shown before it seems you can make your character jump at will with no need for terrain changes or special equipment. So I don't know if its a translation error or if capcom made that kind of a drastic change. See here at 2:04 when the hunter jumps to hit the monkey monster on a flat terrain and he doesn't seem to have any special armor/weapon.
