I disagree on the OS as it's quite fast and very responsive. Not totally intuitive though after 5 hours of fiddling around with it.
AR is tricky to do and especially registering items "as obstacles". AR is not developed enough to be mass market thing yet, but this is a good way to start. android, ios, 3ds and vita are all mass market devices that can use AR, so I hope it will rapid the ar development.
Dont know about gameplay, but no demo available, only video.

A question to the Vita guys. Have you tried to press the notification when you get a message? If it works does it take you to directly to the message?

Sounds like you can't use the functions of an imported 3G in the West. Sounds like it's locked.
Or at least that's what Yoshida just told me.

DCharlie should have impressions later. People are describing it as "Heavy metal" Pikmin.
Looked really good in RSG stream.
Think he means MHP3rd being localised for the West, but as a Vita version. Seems unlikely though.
idk why ppl still think MH is coming to the US. Not saying it won't but it's not confirmed and it's just not likely imo.
That won't happen. Capcom'll localize the 3DS version. It's one reason why MH is done on PSP/Vita, since I'm sure Nintendo will give it a big push in the West like with Tri.
But why did he mention Namco???
Nothing happens when you press it which is one of the unintuitive parts.

if money doesn't matter, why the hell not.
I just mean as a piece of kit, is it totally worth getting the first iteration by what you have seen. I got the PSP 1000,2000, and GO, but skipped the 3000. Just don't really know if i want to wait for a revision or not.
Yep this seems like a huge fucking mistake if it's on purpose. I understand having a range of options for the user. For example turning off wifi if not plugged in to save power. As is this just negates the connected nature of the device. I would think I would want friends to be able to see me playing games, or chat with me like every other modern device. It's got to be some weird bug right? I mean Hot Shots disconnects wifi when you turn on the gyro. I'm not a tech guy, but that's not normal is it?

It seems like it's on purpose, it's a tradeoff in terms of power usage...
It's the dumbest decision they could have made imo, what's the point of great graphics on a portable if it sacrifices social aspects?

This is sort of off topic but might be related to Vita/PS3 as well, I've been trying to transfer Psone games via USB from PS3 to PSP but I'm not getting any copy options in XMB anymore.
Anyone know if Sony has removed this option? The only way to play your Psone games bought off the PS3 store is to download them via the PSP store on your PSP.

Just seems weird if I decide I want to waste my battery why not let me? Considering most people are going to use wifi in a building they are probably going to have a charger close by. Maybe i'm the only one who plays a lot of handheld games in my bed?
I hear you, it's completely retarded imo. I'm honestly worried about the future of Vita if their priorities are this bad.

Do you you have proof of ANYTHING you just mentioned here?
I mean I'm pretty sure that MHTriG will hit the states soon as well but the rest of it just sounds like your own personal speculation since we haven't hear anything from Capcom about its MH plans for the PSP or the Vita going forward.
You seriously think Capcom will still continue the series on the Vita/PSP with everything that's going on - TWO new games - on the 3DS?
Unless Capcom is really that thick, dividing the MH portable userbase would be the stupidest, series-destroying thing they've ever done. MH's success on portable is based on the local multiplayer function. It does them no favors to have 2 different versions on different hardware that can't play with each other. They need to concentrate on one portable. Console-wise is different, especially since different consoles can still play with each other on the same network.
Clearly Capcom sees the 3DS as the hardware which will have the most potential worldwide - not just in Japan, but worldwide. They didn't have MH on the DS because of technical limitations. Now that the 3DS solves this, there's no reason to split the userbase.
It's hardly "personal speculation" - it's common sense.
A Type-0 port with enhanced visuals would be nice as I'd rather not play it on the PSP at this point. I have absolutely no interest in Monster Hunter either way, however. I tried to get into it, but it's just too tedious for my taste. I recognize that it's an important game for some markets, of course, but it doesn't do anything for me.
-activate vita with my US account.
-purchase Chinatown wars on US store on PS3 and download it.
-connect vita to PS3.
-Chinatown doesn't appear on vita's contents management menu.
bummer
Also, I found psn game store on vita is IP-blocked like the video store on PS3. I couldn't even access to my download list on vita...you can't access to product code input screen as well.

And you don´t have proof of the opposite either. The matter of the fact is that Capcom showed MH on VITA when it was revealed, and Capcom made MHHD on the PS3 but did not port it to the VITA speaks volumes about Capcom´s software direction. That might change in the distant future, but not in the short term future.

I find it hardly "common sense" to go exclusive in this economy, and after seeing what happened to X360/PS3. You can have different communities on PSVita and 3DS, the type of users Sony and Nintendo go after is much different.
Also, anyone finds it funny that after PS3, and PSP Sony still seems to be Kutaragi-driven? PSVita is a technical marvel, something Kutaragi got bashed for a lot.
The type of users that go for MH is exactly the same regardless of portable platforms, so that already invalidates that notion.
And Capcom has a history of going exclusive - does it make any sense for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to be Wii-only? They never bothered porting that over. If there's a company that does things like this, it's Capcom.
But I'm sure Capcom won't be going exclusive with MH for long anyway - I'm sure the next MH console version will be multi-plat.
But not on portables. As said, the local multiplayer is the game's killer app. I've been saying this even before MH3G and MH4 was announced for the 3DS, so I'm hardly being inconsistent.
It's mostly wishful thinking on Vita users IMO that the game is coming to the Vita.
Nobody cares about MH overseas.
And after 3G bomba ( + its price already cut on Amazon ), Capcom could change its mind.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Hm..not being connected while playing certain single player games is pretty odd. I won't even play a game on my PS3 if I'm not connected to PSN. Must always be plugged into the matrix.

You have to stop living in your own universe. NeoGaf doesn't mock at you with no reason.

vita 3g price cut at retailers doesn't mean anything jeez
Haha, nice Gravijah
I really like how when games launch overseas, there are no metacritic scores available yet so people actually have to play the games and form their own opinions.
Of course, when the reviews eventually do come out and the consensus differs, we all have to tell the people who bought it that they were wrong and it's actually a bad game.

Not until February when the Vita is released in Western markets.
The US store for Vita doesn't exist yet. Probably explains the Chinatown wars thing too.
They were thick enough to ignore another 4+ million sales of another entry on PSP, but just keep ignoring that then!
they had to move their fanbase over to new hardware at somepoint.
The link isn't right. It conduct me to the Google search. I can only find this http://azalyn.blog22.fc2.com/ , which is classic azalyn's blog where he reports about his own situation.
If 3P's popularity was of any indication, the franchise could definitely have one more entry on PSP before it really needed to move to another hardware.
I wouldn't be surprised if MH4's unveiling was Nintendo's doing more than anything.
It's not only Nintendo, Capcom just wants maximum revenue with as little money spent as possible. They don't want to redo all their models in HD so the 3DS is perfect. They'll keep doing this until all systems require higher resolution textures.

Sorry if in my universe 500k for a handheld MH is low.
Yeah I know, incoming damage control about the userbase. It may be a good score for a 3DS game, but it's a bad one for an MH.
But it's off topic. ^^
