Quantcast



Considering the massive success of the previous titles in Japan, this should come as no surprise -- Monster Hunter Freedom 3 for the PlayStation Portable has been announced. Set for a late 2010 release, the game will feature improved cooperative play and communication, along with an update to the game's Felyne Comrade system.

To promote the game and the series, Capcom is taking over Japan's Greenland theme park in Kumamoto. Call the "Monster Hunter World" exposition, the theme park will feature Monster Hunter-themed attractions and merchandise to drain Japanese wallets dry of yen.

Capcom's released its first trailer for the game, which should have Monster Hunter fans on the edge of their seats and everyone else asking "Really? Another Monster Hunter game?" Which camp do you fall into?

What? Capcom milking a franchise? Never happened in the history of the world. Enjoy it while the games are actually good, Monster Hunter fans. The fate of Megaman looms...

I fall into the camp of "I won't import because my Japanese is shabby at best, but I will buy day motherfucking 1!!!!"

I'll never forget going into Blockbuster on the Freedom Unite release day and being told "we don't stock PSP games anymore?!" - WHAT THE FUCK!?

Even Gamestation only had 3 copies, of which I bought 2, one for me, one for my buddy.

It's been a long long time and perhaps 400 hours on this latest installment, but I'm about ready for Tri now.

Gimme gimme gimme.

I enjoyed the crap out of the first game, but have been losing interest over the years. Not sure if interested.

@DV2FOX - you're looking at the wrong dungeon hack, then. Peer-to-Peer RPGs are unending.

My interest depends solely on one thing - Infrastructure Mode.

No Infrastructure Mode, no deal. Wasting my time if its Ad-Hoc only again.

Wait, what? Capcom totally said "We have no plans for a Monster Hunter 3 portable, we have completely different plans for it," only a couple weeks ago. Yet here we are. I have no complaints though. I may import it since it took capcom an eternity to bring 2G/Unite to the US.

@DV2FOX
Whoops! Looks like SOMEONE totally missed the point.

Anyone with a MH game that wants to play online, look up a program called "XLink Kai". It allows you to use Ad-hoc mode to play with people all around the world.

@Skribble and Silent Protagonist

Just use Ad Hoc Party on your Ps3? Xlink Kai is a massive PITA to sort out, Ad Hoc party is super easy.

You do need a Ps3 to use it though.

I'm definitely in the getting my wallets sucked dry by Capcom camp. Wish Tri would've came out on the PS3 instead though.

Monster Hunter is my current favorite game series. This looks to be an updated port of Tri which was to be expected since that's what they do for the PSP games. DAY 1 for me.

Stoked for this, infrastructure play, from the video it seems all the monsters are updated to at least Tri styles, and a ton of the tri monsters (If not all but the underwater only ones) are in it! Confirmed that there will be no underwater fighting though. We'll see how that pans out in Tri I guess, it may have been seen as a mistake.

...this would be really cool if there was some way for it to communicate with the Wii version. Maybe make some sort of account that works on both? Now that would push this game over the top!

XlinkKai is irritating to setup, I like my neck not aching, the PSP's thumb stick is pants. Monster Hunter is almost an MMO. Who plays that kind of game on the move?

I never really understood adults and portable gaming systems. When I was a kid I would be driven around to grandparents or whatever and without my Gameboy I would be bored as hell. Now I'm an adult and there are infinite things to do out in the world. It's more understandable if you have a long commute to work/school and you can't concentrate on a book or something of value, I suppose.

Well, I've never understood adults and consoles. Don't you have grownup stuff to do, other than sit around all day in front of a TV?

That's apparently why the game is so popular in Japan, people can play it after school or after work (or during lunch)
Rosseh's Avatar - Comment posted on 03/17/2010 11:21

Have you really never understood? Oh, no, you're trying to sound clever :P

Personally, yes, I have "grownup stuff" to do so I can't spend all day in front of a TV. But I have a portion of time, or when the mood strikes me, for mindless entertainment.

It is convenient on the PSP to be able to meet up with friends and hunt but that doesn't mean it doesn't cause neck ache (or the controls are bad). If you have any tips for playing handhelds without neck ache I would like to hear them, I've tried a number of different positions with no luck.

Still, it's not difficult to get a TV and a console together with others these days, especially with a car and the size of modern TVs. For games like Monster Hunter I don't see how you can get anything substantial done in a lunch break.
