There will be loading too, God Eater had much simpler(boring) zones. And what's the issue with the controls on Tri? If anything they're better than the portable games' ones. (God eater "fixes" the camera control with the lock on, there's none of that in MH, be warned).
Also, God Eater gameplay is still quite different, it's faster paced (weapons have no weight) and more "mashing" friendly. I'm not sure you'll like any MH if you didn't get into Tri (although the demo was kinda bad).
But I really disliked God Eater as a MH fan, so take the advice with a grain of salt

God Eater doesn't "fix" anything, it's a different kind of game with different priorities. As different as Tekken is from Virtua Fighter. To the layman those might just be two games about two dudes punching each other out but to fans there's a world of difference. That's juts as true for Monster Hunter and God Eater. In God Eater weapons have no weight, you don't have to learn the ins and outs of a particular weapon along with the how you should use that weapon versus whatever critter you're fighting. You can just sort of mash. God Eater's environments are a copy n' paste ghost town that are more themed arena's than a genuine world like you would find in MH. In GE you'll never find anything other than what you're hunting in a given quest. It's easy to see how GE's levels have only the initial load-in, there isn't a whole lot there.
A better point of comparison for you to try to make would be to see if you like how Monster Hunter Tri plays on the Wii with a classic controller. Tri does have that second analogue stick for the camera but has no lock-on, you'll have to manage the camera, you'll have to aim your blows and that will require having to learn the ins and outs of the weapon you're using and the monster you're fighting. Tri still has loading between the regions, as will any iteration of Portable 3rd/Freedom 3.
What I'm trying to say is, you may very well likely not enjoy Monster Hunter and simply like God Eater. Using God Eater Burst to set your expectations for Portable 3rd/Freedom 3 HD is probably setting yourself up for disappointment.

dunno why people who have troubles with the game complain so much about area transitions. it's somewhere to run away, sharpen your gear and consume some shit in relative safety while you're still learning a monsters tells. loading gets much quicker anyway if you have digital version &/or do the data install + turn on background loading.

Being the weakest link in my local coop crew, I'm thankful for screen transitions. They let me tuck tail and run.

i started MH with Tri as well, and tried FU and P3 after. they are almost the same but feel very different. MHTri is a multiplayer focused game, MHP3 is a single player focused game. the key difference is online, Tri has online exclusive battles that, for the most part, requires a team to win (Jhen, Jho, Alatreon, some events). in P3 all the content is available offline, there are pros and cons to each.heringer said:
it's way more convenient in P3 to get gear because you can farm Jhen and Ala offline, the battles are scaled for single player, also don't have to wait for Jhen event. people die much less against Jho and Ala. get double/triple carted? go single player and learn patterns so you don't look like a fool, reload the save to get spent items back. the convenience of P3 takes away the raw emotion of Tri. i failed my HR51 urgent 9 times, it was me dying from lack of experience, or teammates going down. i was so happy when i found a good team to take Ala down. once on a Jho hunt we ran out of time; the other players were too scared to go in without flash bombing first. none of this will happen in P3 because everyone can practice by themselves.
i prefer Tri overall, but it's really nice playing P3 where every team is on point, monsters will die in 5-10 minutes, and not a single failed mission so far.

Can remasters support DLC? That way they can give owners of the HD version 3rd G without ripping them off at full price like they do to PSP owners

Still looking for the HD part. This PORT is a mess and I'm not here for that. Also, I need new experiences, where's the G version? Ch.54-46! said:
With Cafe coming soon, the japanese home console market won't have to rely exclusively on PS3, so I hope Capcom have the balls to actually make a REAL Monster Hunter HD.

Or Nintendo 3DS. But let's not get into that.54-46! said:

It probably just runs in HD? The assets are probably just ported. I don't care if the assets aren't upgraded...I just want to be able to experience this game in a nice resolution, framerate, and the ability to play with friends over the internet. Oh, and use a controller scheme that doesn't suck.

Is 4800 yen a good price for this in Japan?
Also, maybe $40 in the states?

I think this is the right pricing. I mean, it still takes Capcom lots of effort to port it onto PS3 and 3D and so forth. It is still a full game, so for those who don't own PSP already, they can buy this and it's a full featured game so I think this pricing is very much reasonable.
For those who already own the game on PSP... well, the pricing is a little steep for them. It depends if you are desperate to also play the game at home on your big screen TV and with the upgraded visuals, and also online play with your friends.

Wow for a moment I thought my account was hacked hahaha we have the same avatar
On topic: does capcom said something about the US version of MH3rdP? Its been like what 7 months since the japanese release? We will need to wait more, until they bring the HD+PSP version to US?

Sorry for the thread bump but I thought this was a fair question. Am I going to have to start over for P3rd HD?
I ask because the latest PSN Firmware added specific PSP Remasters options such as the ability to sync PSP Remasters saves with your PSP. It also has Ad Hoc options for the Remasters games which I hear is not compatible with US Ad Hoc party.

As a strategic player, those zone breaks are nice to exploit, and you're used to the flow of the game. Monster Hunter without zones would play significantly differently from Monster Hunter as it is today.
That said, the zones are artificial breaks in what is otherwise an immersive and "realistic" (take that as you may) game experience. It shouldn't be hard to understand why many (be they occasional MH players comparing it to expectations or hardcore players looking for the next-generation bump) do look at the game and think about how it might be even cooler if it had seamless hunting grounds.

Sooo, can someone from Japan-GAF please explain to me if it's possible for someone from Australia to order this beauty from the website directly?

Why aren't they updating the HUD?
They've up-rezed the text, but not the HUD itself? Weird.
