Wasn't that an expansion of an already existing title?DMeisterJ said:They announced Tri in 2007 even before 2G/Unite came out in JP/NA.
So did they 'snub' Sony too?

at the End of 2010!
- The wait is over! The game that started a craze is back! -
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce the release of "Monster Hunter Freedom 3" for the Sony PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), set for Late 2010.
"Monster Hunter Freedom 3" is a hunting action game that puts the player in the boots of a fearless hunter tracking down and fighting ferocious monsters in a breathtaking natural expanse. The distinctive and groundbreaking cooperative game play style of the "Monster Hunter" franchise, which lets friends work together to bring down huge, fearsome monsters as a team has fostered a new level of communication and interactivity in video games, and has spawned the social phenomenon known as the "Monster Hunter Craze". As well as recently being awarded the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Prize, an award that commends the people who created it, and receiving a Special Award in the games of the year division at the Japan Game Awards: 2009, Monster Hunter won the highest award and accolades at the CEDEC AWARDS.
The latest addition to the "Monster Hunter" series, "Monster Hunter Freedom 3", adds new elements of communication while enhancing the feel and beloved game play of the series. With the introduction of brand new regions and monsters to the series, an improved Felyne Comrade System, and having polished the cooperative play system that makes playing "Monster Hunter" on the PSP® so much fun, the game's content will not only satisfy players who are already fans of the series, but new users as well.
Also, beginning on March 13th, 2010 for about one month, fans will be able to visit the "Monster Hunter World" exposition at the Greenland theme park in Kumamoto Prefecture and be immersed in the world of "Monster Hunter". There will be Monster Hunter-themed attractions and "Monster Hunter" merchandise on display. We plan to hold even more events like "Monster Hunter World" going forward.
At Capcom it is our continued goal to bring our properties to multiple platforms to provide the best entertainment experiences, and the "Monster Hunter" series is no exception to this. We hope to continue meeting and exceeding the expectations of gamers with our dedication to develop exciting titles for the best gaming platforms available.

That's not entirely correct. The whole reason Unite didn't sell as well as they hoped was because almost all 'fans' were playing the pirated, fan-translated version. I was really fed up with the community, pirating so blatantly. They kept saying nonsense like that they will buy the game when it gets released in the west. Well guess what, most were still playing 2G and not Unite when it did get released! Hmpf, I wonder why!?I NEED SCISSORS said:Excellent news. I just hope they bring it over after they said Unite struggled in the West. If they don't, I hope the unofficial translation team for 2nd G get on it straight away.
And chalk another one up for PSP's best year since 2008!

Yeah, I really hope those quick and easy downscaled textures on the Tri monsters are place holder. They're way too saturate (obvious to accommodate for the bloom in Tri) and the detail doesn't show through when the monster is more then 2 metres away from the camera. The team really needs to sit down some artist and have them redraw them all from scratch.Tenbatsu said:Maybe I played too much MH3, the graphics from the PV is hurting my eyes >_<
But its good for PSP thou.

Fan translations are one of the biggest reasons why people weren't buying the game. I hate it when those same people dare to call themselves fans.
Yes but this isn't one of them?BigNastyCurve said:Anyone else sick to death of "announcement of announcements"?

PSP4000 to be released with MH Portable 3rd summer 2010 in japan.
Soneet said:Own game: yes.
Port of Tri: no.
Uses elements of Tri.
Whoa fuck, if so.duckroll said:It will support infrastructure mode
spindoc said:I'm at work, so no video.. Is it implied in the trailer that most of the old monsters are out?
PuppetMaster said:Oh I just noticed giant hedgehog thing was eating honey! He is like a giant Poo bear!
Gun lance is back which is awesome.
Guild hall has a giant Daruma in it.
Oh and you can walk around town with your cats now!
Its sad that underwater combat is not in the PSP game, I was hoping that they will improve and create more monsters for it. There were only like 4 main water monsters in MH3, sort of underutilized. If there is no MH3G, I hope underwater combat will still be in MH4.Kuran said:Not that it matters, but I wonder if the underwater sections were cut due to hardware limitations.. in any case, it makes sense to differentiate MHTri with MHP3 in that way.. so people don't hold out on one or the other.
Wolf Akela said:I was gonna buy a Wii + that MH3/CC bundle just for MH3.
Not anymore. I hated the bloom in the demo. Portable version seems to have more content, and NO BLOOM, and is actually colorful and not blurry/washed out.
No more question. Thanks for saving me money Capcom, I'll buy MHP3 day one, I just hope it doesn't take forever to get to the US.
Xater said:I think this looks really good. Sadly MH2 didn't click with me the way I hoped for so I think I will pass. I'm still more of a PSO guy.
