It is also coming to PSP so i think they have botched down Online Play due to it. We might get Online in GE 3 on VITA(If it comes)

We have gotten 3 total, ragnarok, soul sac and some other thing that bombed iirc
vs the alteir games, p4g, Disgea and upcomig Ys, ffx/x2, Valhalla knights and demon gaze. About the only vita rpg releases we havent got are the tales remakes and the kiseki games but the latter aren't/didn't come to ps3 either

I'm pretty sure *anything* is better than "monhan".

And Soul Sacrifice isn't exactly the same type of game unless you're using a lose generalization.
Not sure about the others.
Toukiden localization is already confirmed. Do we know for sure that Freedom Wars is a hunting game?
If your talking about Toukiden from Tecmo it actually seems to be doing really well. Sold a few Vitas in Japan.

Hmm, for some reason I forgot about Disgaea! Hahaha.
Yeah, you're probably right and I am wrong. Although surely it must also be noted that a lot of them are not original games?
Hmm, Disgaea 3 (port), Disgaea 4 (port), that Alterier game (port?), Ys, FFX/FFX-2 (both ports), Demon Gaze (confirmed english release?)... anything else that I might forget?
Original games, it seems like a lot of them are really MonHun-like games: Soul Sacrifice, Gods Eater 2 (let's just say this is a Vita game), Toukiden, Ragnarok Ace (though well this is basically the same as the 1st Ragnarok game), that Freedom game... hmm, anything else I missing?
Not really sure about Valhalla Knights 3, whether it will be a MonHun like games or not.
And I don't think we should count on games not leaving Japanese shore/not translated. I mean, for what if we can't play them? (well we can, but you know what I mean)

The description for Freedom Wars and some of the screens, sound and look like a hunting game, yes.

Seems that way. The twist is larger than normal parties and an emphasis on competitive play in addition to the cooperative stuff.
to be fair god eater burst was a replacement game after Orc Attack was no longer going to be given away with PS+
though it's possible that it could be announced for localization.... though I imagine if it will be it will be at a later date after namco can watch and see how the ps4 + a psv price cut effect vita sales and if it's worth releasing a game in english after those numbers come in.
I mean it doesn't even come out until Nov 14, 2013 in japan, and given it's a vita game they likely want to see in general how it will sell in japan first before they announce they are localizing it... I mean if it only manages to move 92.720 units in japan it's quite possible that they will not want to bother releasing it in english. I mean if i recall right the first game did horribly in english.

With how the new ip hunting games like soulsac and toukiden have been selling there is no chance something with some brand history like GE will bomb on vita in Japan. It will probably end up being the best selling vita game there by the end of it's first month.

Yeah, Toukiden looks from the upcoming games the most promisingly one to catch what makes monster hunter so addictive. Don't get me wrong Soul Sacrifice is fun but:
- lacks a good crafting system
- combat is compared to mh too simple
- armor is just cosmetic
Lore and monster design are great.

Took me a while to fully utilize the throwing
I'm more likely to throw a loaded gun at an enemy in order to stun him. The mechanic I ought to remember to use more often is the human shield.

Thank u for the investigation.
If they can confirm cross buy by Monday I'll get it along with stealth basterd.
If not, then I won't get either.
No. We've been doing iT for at least a year now.
I dont know if this was posted so sorry if so, but more Tecmo support incoming
http://gematsu.com/2013/07/samurai-...d-version-announced-for-playstation-3-ps-vita
Im glad Tecmo seems to like the Vita, hope that means we get Xtreme beach volleyball 3 if it ever happens.

it most likely will do well, but given the current state of the NA and EU vita markets, holding off to have more information makes the most sense, since it also give more time for the NA and EU markets to pick up thanks to a price cut and ps4 remote play.
The reason you see Monster Hunter-like games coming out in Japan is because that's by far the most played genre in Japan right now. It's the same reason we saw so many shooters on PS3 and people did exactly what you're doing there, complained for years "oh no, another FPS". Hell, even XCOM was turned into an FPS.
Big publishers play it safe, that's how it is and how it always will be.
This also creates a snowball effect as creators also play these genres quite a bit and so are creatively interested in making a better entry themselves.

I already pre-ordered Stealth Inc. (Stealth Bastard) for $8 since it is cross-buy.
Technically the Cloudberry Kingdom game doesn't come out until the update on 7/30, so they've got a bit of time if you're patient (or at least a ps+ member).

Also, he's apparently trying to get Tengami, which looks like a 2D Tearaway 64 kind of...

They should do a crossover
Mutant Mudds X Mutant Blob
Mutant Mudds X Mutant Blob
but for FPS in the west other games actually sells (like Battlefield ,Crysis, Halo, Borderlands hell even Killzone) in Japan only Monster Hunter sells and the other can't even break half a million even if they are better than MonHun, I don't really know why they still keeping it, only MonHun is a big hit there and all the other games failed to get even in the same galaxy with it.
the western FPS situation while many think it's bad for gamers and publishers but still healthier and with more diversity than the MonHun and its clones situation in Japan.
So... Mon Hun is to the Hunting Genre as CoD is to FPS? You're actually contributing to his point.

FPS has had a long time to establish, most monhun clones are only very recent things.I would liken it more to ope world games. None of Mafia, Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs(true crime), Just cause etc are in the same galaxy as GTA (the only one to come remotely close is RRD which might as well be called GTA cowboy edition) but they all do well enough in their genre to keep getting made.
It's not like God Eater isn't a success because monhun sells better and the 300k that toukiden has done so far on psp/v is pretty good for a new ip in japan.
That actually looks pretty awesome, reguardless of wether or not we are going to get many "AAA" announcements at Gamescom, I have a feeling there will still be allot of announcements for Vita there. Shahid talks about signing multiple games on a daily basis, so there still seems allot to announce. I enjoy indies so the more the merrier as long as they are good games. E3 had quite a few non old port indie announcements for Vita also which is a positive, and shows Sony is really starting to gain some major ground they did not have last gen.
@pieatorium, well you have a point here as this is a still can be consider a "new" thing in Japan (MH is old as dirt tho but the clones started with God Eater 1)
he is completely right in that Japanese publishers try to copy MH and try to get that crowd just like CoD, but what I'm saying is this really the safe thing for them to do? because the Japanese market is different and so far there is not Halo or Battlefield like games for the hunting genre (as in other games that actually sell and have their million+ loyal userbase), that market is locked completely to MH and other games are just niche compared to it so it's not healthy to keep making clones that fail to sell.

At least Japanese audience don't see that...
If they give up on MonHun clones then that's pretty much end of Vita's presence in Japanese market (and relationship with Japanese third parties).
Among third parties, for Japanese market MH clones sell leagues better than any other genre, with the possible exception of DQ and FF.
GEB sold like 700K copies that not too many of Bamco's other IP's can beat.
Toukiden has just passed 300K (and still going) that has already surpassed KT's former biggest franchise (Dynasty Warriors).
Not sure if this is news, in this interview, Jools (accidentally?) mentions a HD version of Metal Slug is in the works for Sony by Bluepoint:

So God Eater didn't even sell a million?

Their engine works great on the Vita, although I doubt a game like Metal Slug would need it.
we know that GEB "shipped" only 700K http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/7176246.html
not sure if GEB and GB combined sold a million or not.

I think you are over estimating how much games that aren't MH, Pokemon, and DQ sell in Japan. Mailine Resident Evil doesn't sell a million let alone a million+, same for MGS, Tales etc etc even 3d mario barely breaks a million.
Toukiden, one of those sales failure MH clones has sold more than Tekken 6 (or any semi recent fighting game release), More than Persona 4 on PS2 ect.
GE1 is above every individual Tales game except xillia 1 which it's only very slightly behind.
