Seems to have a mix of God Eater like world with motives from 1984 (total surveilance and goverment control) + mecha.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
There hasnt been one thats made as well as Monster Hunter yet. Which includes weapon / armor design.
You could say "Another fucking "insert stupid here" game?" about pretty much anything.
Though here in Japan for the most part, the co-op titles are usually the ones that fly off the shelf the fastest. Until people find out said game is shit anyways from the message boards or word of mouth.
am I the only one to see a japanese/anime/shonen version of 1984 in this game?
yep.
A Japanese studio announcing genre catered to Japanese handheld gamers.
I see nothing wrong with that, and I personally very welcome this being a hunting game, if it really turns out to be it

My interest vanished completely knowing it's most likely another hunting game.
Well, the reason I said "Another fucking hunting game" is because the last big Vita title to come out was Soul Sacrifice.
Well, we'll revisit this in a year or so and see what the score is.
I just think you're way off with your prediction. As to why they're creating content for the device, why do you think? Because they're going to try and make it viable, of course.

First thing I thought, they should stick with Panopticon.It looks still good, but man from unique to generic name
Happy to see Vita getting more new IPs but I must confess my interest went quite down after reading the very MonHun-esque description of the gameplay... :/

It's total overkill, though. As if Sony's blindly throwing darts hoping one of them will stick. But none will, because the real thing is on someone else's dartboard.They do in Japan
So many high-profile games of the same genre (PSO2, SS, Toukiden, GE2, now this) will produce some incredible fatigue, especially considering that these developers make these games with hundreds of hours of gameplay grind in mind. Why not give us a decent JRPG instead?

So those numbers is how long their sentence is.
The official website is up. Some of the images look like in-game screenshots, and they're pretty good.

Also, the official trailer on YouTube.

Oh come the fuck on. So this was a teaser of a teaser of a teaser.
Next unveil seems to be on the 23rd and then another on the 30th after that.
Looks really good.
It mentions yahoo at the bottom right too.

White coats ran right past a black coat?
Monster Hunter based in cities...with monsters as well. It's a dystopian Gravity Rush Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter killer confirmed.

I don't think JRPGs really sell that great anymore. DQ does, but Falcom is what, about 150k each? Persona what, 250k? While some of the hunting games have almost reached a million, or did on the PSP, which is why they keep trying.
But to me it's like all those MMORPGs that tried to compete with WoW, but none of them really outdid WoW when it comes to content. And that's the trouble here, since Monster Hunter really builds on past releases, they have more content than its competitors.

That doesn't seem to be the case. The site is just giving you dates for when the next bit of info will be revealed. I actually think that's pretty cool. Instead of guessing when info is coming they've given you various dates to look forward to.
It's pretty awesome yeah.

I understand why they keep trying, but it seems to me that it's a genre that, like MMOs, is especially susceptible to fatigue because of the time investment required. So Sony's not really helping any one of these clones' (I hate that term) chances by throwing them into the pit against one another.
We'll just have to wait and see how exactly this game will differentiate itself from the others. As it stands, it looks so similar to God Eater that it might as well be part of that same universe.

I agree but I can play these games all day. I have 4 friends with a Vita so the more co-op friendly games there are the better for me.
Isn't Japan favouring co-op mobile games at the moment though? Just because no game has come close the MH's success yet doesn't mean one can't.
It would be nice to have some variety although im just glad to see FPS's get the back foot now.

Fixed that for ya.
Watched the trailer again, and can't help but get the feeling that this is not going to be a typical hunting action game.
Just so people don't forget, God Eater also had guns, it was based on cities and had monsters.

But does it have as much production value

Ironic that just as we finally get a handheld that can do FPS games justice, they're basically nowhere to be seen (relatively speaking).
I'm not speaking personally about this game anyway - just pointing out what I see as a boneheaded direction to take Vita (and its marketing) in. In my opinion as a gamer, I'm quite excited about it - by far the most artistically pleasing "hunting" game I've seen.
But does it have as much production value
It has - its a pretty expansive PSP title. Before the name got out i thought it as a Sony/Bamco co-produced God Eater 3 for Vita - but why would they announce it before releasing the 2nd game :lol
Hmm wonder if GE2 is getting localised, still this looks like the next-gen version!

What are you even complaining about? Did you even look at the site? There are a bunch of sections they'll be updating over the next week. Some sections will be unveiled on the 23rd, some on the 30th, and a bunch are up right now. They're just information about various parts of the game.
So those that are saying MH clone are wrong? If so, why are we continuing to say it is?

It didn't all load at once.
I complained before continuing to scroll and seeing more dates. Then I got the hint.

It uses Yahoo Maps for multiplayer stuff.
The image that keeps getting posted says "Attack one another, save one another"
Some of the locked 5/30 blocks are somewhat translucent. There's one that talks about over 1,000,000 wanted criminals. Another block says Surveillance. The one next to it says Abudctor. Another says Volunteer.
This is definitely more than just a Hunting game. Nationwide GPS powered multiplayer war?

Typical modern social networking internet user! Reacting before being fully informed! Smh!

That train of thought is keeping this thread alive, unfortunately. Why can't we ever get anything good all at once?

We'll probably find out more tomorrow when Famitsu leaks. Hopefully there's a developer interview or something.

This looks brilliant!
Do we know the team behind it?

Depends on the developer, I might finally get a vita.
Human's crime of living "punishment 1 million years"
These punished people are sent to the frontier for war. For freedom, they are to recapture citizens.
That's roughly translated with my crappy Japanese skill.
