So is this Monster Hunter Tri? Or was that only on the Wii? Either way, this is some neat news. I might actually play one of these games now.

Dope. 

Fuck that. I don't want an up-ressed port of a PSP game. I want a proper game build from the ground up for the PS3.

I'm sure this is them judging the market for this sort of game.

Yep, I'm pretty hyped. Should be out this summer so I'll be transferring my save to the big screen!

While im not as excited as you, i did play MHP2g with a translation patch alot, so im down for this.

They did say MHP3 would be releasing in English.. but not on the PSP.  A lot of people assumed it was getting an NGP or 3DS port, but I guess this is what they meant.  Personally, I'm not that excited.  I do really love the series, but for me it's like Pokemon, something that just works far better on a handheld.  I'd rather be playing it with a friend in the same room, than online.  Porting a PSP game up to the PS3 is hardly the glorious console version people have been waiting for either.

Does it have proper camera control?

I was hoping that it wasn't a remake of a game that I already own. And seriously, why is it ad-hoc?

Id love to try this out, but I'm not playing a game (especially one with as much potential text as this one) if it isn't in english - which I'm assuming won't happen?
I saw things I like in the bits of the PSP MH I tried but they just controlled way to lousily.

added to the 2011 thread!

@Doctorchimp

: It hasn't taken off in the US cause no one here plays on their PSPs. There's no proper online play either (unless you count Adhoc Party which is a relatively new release for the US). In order to make it popular, Capcom needs a game that properly integrates online multiplayer. So what do they do? They pick the fucking Wii cause online play is it's strong suit, right?

You're not going to bring in new fans to the franchise by offering them a spruced-up PSP game. It's just not going to happen. But no. Capcom will just reuse the same goddamn assets its been using since the original PS2 game and then say "We tried but people didn't buy it" and blame it on the fans. 

I would love if someone could explain to me what this series is about. IS it like an MMO ? Since it gets released on ps3 could i play with random people via psn?

I feel like there is something intrinsically wrong with Monster Hunter in its current state that makes it unappealing to a Western audience. Can't put my finger on it, but yeah.

Just heard about this. They're going to be bringing a bunch of PSP games to the PS3 with updated graphics and such. Maybe if they brought P3P over, I'd finally have a Persona game on my PS3.

@Beforet: NO!  THIS IS THE PROPER MH GAME!The PSP game.  The proper MHP3rd.

Looks like I'll actually try to play a Monster Hunter game for longer then a few hours now.

Hopefully they end up re-releasing the PSP MGS games for the PS3. They were pretty much the only reason I ever vaguely considered buying one.

So, I'm completely and totally unfamiliar with Monster Hunter games, but the trailer for this looked kind of cool and I know it's huge in Japan. So:

What is Monster Hunter?

I hope whoever is developing this game goes out of business.

They keep tricking me into buying the same game.

@KaosAngel :
I never had a psp so I didn't play any of the MH games besides TRI, what are the main differences between this one and the wii one?
 
I sincerely don't know, I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything.

Tri is strangely a smaller game compared to MHP3.   
 
The Portable series is now seen as the proper releases and has most of the monsters, items, equips, and whatnot.

Your welcome?

I'm interested, wish the online wasn't that ad-hoc party bullshit though.

But is a english localized version confirmed?

@onarum: Not yet for some reason MH doesn't do well here, which is a shame...the games are so good. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Portable 3rd didn't have the underwater battles.  That'd be a shame, because they added a great bit of atmosphere and changed up the fights in a big way.

Yeha, there's no underwater stuff...but I never liked them so no complaints on my end.   It might have to do with PSP limitations so you can bet that MHP4 for NGP will have the underwater battles.
