I accidentally clicked on this thread and I don't give a flying fuck about MH3, but when I saw this picture, I had to comment on how awesome it is.
There's nothing reassuring about those comments. The reality is that if they had already made the decision, they'd already announce it (unless they're still trying to create media for the announcement, which is possible).
We've been burned a bit too much by those types of comments to just take them at face value again. Not gonna trust anything until an outright announcement (or outright denial).

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
If they're adding online I hope it's a simpler, more immediate system than Tri's.
Like, use system friend list etc to get 1-4 friends, then right away find yourself in the city with just them.
Not hopping through servers, lobbies, cities, gates, etc.
Well, maybe it could be in addition to that, for when you want to play randoms.
But that part should also be simpler still. Just have Diablo II style chatrooms, ask around until you find people who want the same things you do, and then create a game and off you go. Or see the list of created games and if the descritpion matches what you want and they have open slots still. Like, just the first and final steps in the Tri system, tweaked. And 10-12 players per town.

Because at this rate they'll be drooling over 4's Japanese release by the time this gets here?
Probably because we've been getting lines like these for almost 2 years now with nothing to show for it.
Ultimately these lines just seem like something to placate fans when they get rowdy, while keeping them on board with Capcom under the guise that "something big is coming" (as he said a while back). Though it's good to see the fans get a bit more rowdy now, because enough is enough. Honestly, if you're done with the franchise here... say it and stop the stringing along.
As if they are going to release anything interesting anyway.

Its definitely coming, you don't follow up comments like those with "alright guys, I can finally announce that we are not localizing it, thanks for your patience"

That would be hilarious.

I wouldn't mind if the reason they gave is bringing 4 day and date with the Japanese release so no more excruciating waiting...
This. In my experience whenever Sven confirms something like this in a "read between the lines" sort of way, it always pans out.

Logic would tell you that, but this is Capcom. Nintendo did the exact same thing with Xenoblade and The Last Story and they seem to have infinitely more respect for their fans.
Normally I'd agree, but this is the same company that pulled the MML3 fiasco.
The problem is - we Monster Hunter in NA have been waiting for a new domestically-released MonHun game for two years while Portable 3rd, Portable 3rd HD and Tri G have all been released in Japan along with Frontier getting additional content.
All we get is "I can't say anything - be patient." and that's all we have gotten for months. We're starved for info on a new release and when Sven says stuff like this, it honestly does more harm than good.
Just frustrating. But according to Sven, i should be patient!! Good things are going to happen!!! Yeah, OK.

I met Sven at last year's captivate, and he's an incredibly cool guy. Problem is, is that he's a cool guy that always has his hands tied behind his back. He really wants to give everyone what they want, but CoJ is the problem.
Sven said outright a few months back that he viewed online as a prerequisite for any future MH releases in the West.
He needs to learn the "put up or shut up" rule. Delivering these incredibly vague teases only gets people more frustrated.

Even the poor shareholder got involved in this mess, lol.
Looking forward to Capcom FY results (Revelations and maybe Monster Hunter 3G localization).
"Capcom says Monster Hunter 3 G performed as expected.
The address is now over."
Is just how I read it.
The hell does that mean. WHY ARE YOU CRYPTIC TWITTER GUY

Man, if they don't announce online mode together with the western release they have done themselves a major disservice with all this secrecy.

E3 needs to get here already so I can officially rejoice or rage about this.
I think they'll announce a patch to add an online coop mode for Tri G in Japan before they announce anything about a western release.
So it wouldn't surprise me if they have no news about Tri G in the west during E3 because they're saving the hypothetical patch news for TGS.

Online doesn't matter in Japan.It's the West that needs it.
As far as the Monster Hunter franchise is concerned, the west doesn't matter to Capcom.
Capcom will probably want a patch so that a handheld MH title can check off the online coop box unless MH4 is going to be ready by this winter.
Not really, secrecy means they can go ahead and not release, but never officially say "yeah we're done with MH guys, lol"... keeping false hope up and preventing MH fans from jumping the Capcom ship and not buying their stuff on principle.

No arguments here.Potential aside, right now MonHun means nothing in the West.
Again, when it comes to handheld MonHun, online is irrelevant in Japan.Capcom definitely won't patch 3G and it's almost certain that 4 won't have online as well.
The whole online talk applies only to the supposedly localised version.

They have always said they'd try to implement online on the game, so they problably woulnd't want to announce it before making sure they can or cannot do it.
But they are being so criptic, I wonder if they have even bigger plans for the game. Maybe a Wii port? Maybe crossplay between Wii and 3DS? (lol, I know)
