I guess they don't want the same thing happening where they got shitted on for those games that either came out way late or were eventually cancelled.
Not sure if the Nintendo method works for them either tbh

You mean Capcom can't release a different MH for the Vita, only MH4? Even if the Vita only gets MH4, people still have the choice between the Vita version or the 3DS version.
I predicted MHP would save the PSP even before the first game ever released in 2005. Back then, I also said that if Sony were smart, then they would be hard at work on their very own in-house, MH inspired Pokemon killer. I honestly still feel that way.
Having a PokeMonHun level game only works to its potential when the game is exclusive. When Vita receives its first MonHun it will definitely help boost the platform, but not to the same affect it had when it was a portable exclusive.
Sony needs to have their very own game that has the appeal and popularity of games like Pokemon and MonHun that can never be made for a competing platform. I am pretty surprised that Sony had not yet invested considerable manpower and money into developing a game like that.

Resistance for July 12th...
Yep, and since MH is a social game where your gameplay opportunities hinge on the assumption that you and your friends have the same portable game system, one can imagine that the 3DS version would be the one selling gangbusters.
(actually, going by that logic, every 3DS system Nintendo sells makes the chance of a Vita version eventually arriving slimmer and slimmer)

Honestly, at this point I just want MHP3rd for the west. Jinouga is so badass.

I knew it was mielke so reading topic as 'lumines producer' was kind of amusing.
might still be too little too late. only thing it needs is monster hunter.

Monster Hunter fans will get their MH fix on any platform. I don't see why 3DS is being mentioned here. Why would I not buy MH for Vita?

I really hope the Vita does start having games I'm interested in.
I'm interested in the hardware, and Gravity Rush. But that's it and that is not enough to have me spending around 35,000 yen on a portable.

What SCE published game released 7 years after announcement?
The longest gap between announcement and release I can think of is GT5 and that was ~5 years.

The better question would be, why would you buy MH for Vita over MH for the 3DS?
Why wouldn't I buy both?
Why not? It has a bigger and better screen and dual sticks. And I don't even have a Vita (yet), only a 3DS.
Because (in the case of Japan anyway) all your friends would have the 3DS version.

This. Hell, they might un-discount the Vita when this happens. It's sad when I found out that MHP 3rd G has Vita support through a Sony rep leak, not a Capcom announcement.
I think Resistance Vita is on 5/29/2012.
I sure hope we'll see those games during E3.

I assumed the exaggeration was in pretending all of Sony's games took that long to come out.
I just thought it was based on reference to an actual singular game that escaped my recollection; seemed too specific for a made up number.

I can confirm there will be interactive entertainment experiences forthcoming on the PSVITA platform.

Still haven't seen a Vita game yet that's made me want to buy the system.
C'mon Sony, sell it to me.

dual analogs, better graphics, (hopefully) online mode
The best is yet to come.

And even i am moderately surprised
Nearly 5 million people have bought the last PSP MH game
around 1.5 million people have bought MH3G
The userbase hasn't moved in earnest yet - hell those MH3G numbers are more inline with MH3 figures. Maybe it's just Wii players jumping in ?
End of the day - Sony have a countdown to doom ... they've got until MH4 to show MH on the Vita and i don't think it can be MH4 - has to be something different because the same game on the Vita isn't particularly going to help them -that- much.
MH4 for 3DS is going to be sales asteroid time for Sony unless they get their finger out.

Maybe it's possible that Sony has been heavily in development of a first party Monster Hunter killer.

Sony hasn't exactly been shy in the past about announcing games that are a year or more from release, so... yeah, believe it when I see it.

Sony's problem is that Nintendo laid all their cards on the table last September, and reaped immediate benefits. Being coy and waiting for conference megatons isn't very smart when your direct competitor is racing out to a 20 million unit lead.
A new IP needs time and 2-3 iterations to mature and achieve critical mass to skyrocket the sales and become a system seller.
Edit: and needs to be good. Indisputable good.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
There will be good games. Problem for the platform at large is how relevant will the platform be by time the games get released? If it's stuff slated for beyond 2012 the platform is going to be in a huge hole by then. It's not that Sony won't have some interesting games.
It's more will Sony have any thing to really push momentum of the system without waiting another 12 months for everything else entertainment wise to keep building their own momentum.

You're making it all sound like a grand battle, or some type of emergence day referring to the release of the colossal MH4!

to be honest SCEJ kinda fail to make a giant new IP on PSP while it was peaking
I could have sworn GT for PSP was due even longer.
Edit: Just did a quick check, same 5 years. But still, not expecting anything too surprising for this year to be honest. If something special turns up by winter I'd be impressed. Not that I desperately need more titles, Wipeout and Lumines eat away hours.
Just wish JSR was coming to the Vita. Rez would do too. Which was actually co-developed by Q entertainment. That would be too good.

Mizuguchi can't catch a break.
There were rumours of a JSR for Wii U and Vita being developed by Headstrong Games that was cancelled with Sega's restructuring.

Damn. First reply gets it right everytime.
Gaf: Vita Support already Dying!!!
Developer: No it's not, games are coming, (probably) some pretty big ones.
Gaf: No it's still Dying!!! Stop lying lumines guy!!
Just goes round, and round in Vita threads. Why not just make one big thread at this point titled "Hey come troll the Vita it's a party!" would that not save alot more time?

Who says MH4 on 3DS won't have online?
I honestly think the only reason Tri G didn't was because it was a port and not a mainline title. They probably thought a port wouldn't have the legs of a true sequel since MH4 was already announced and thus didn't put the resources into a server.

I would think that if he's even making statements like this that he's probably atleast seen some of the games that he's claiming are coming. Why else would he make the claim?
I don't see how him saying this would automatically sell copies of lumines either. There is a chance people would buy it if they pick up a Vita, but saying that more games are coming would not guarantee more sales of LES.
