3D Monster Hunter Set For PS3 - Aaaaaw yeeeeeee!!!

Capcom announced Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Version for the system today.
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD is a PS3 version of the like named PSP title (minus the HD part, of course).

The game promises full HD visuals, 3D support, shared save data with the PSP version (allowing you to play both on the go and in the home), and online play via Ad Hoc Party. A release is set for Summer.

As the name and Ad Hoc Party might suggest, this actually isn't a new title. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD is part of a new PlayStation 3 series from Sony called PSP Remaster. This series features PSP titles customized for re-release on PS3.
The announcement of MHP 3rd HD came today during an event held to commemorate the mobile Monster Hunter Club having crossed the one million membership mark. The event was live streamed.

Good game, got a bit tedious after a while with no HP bar and killing the same monster over and over but the armor set rewards were pretty awesome.

Lancer ftw.

Holy crap, I've been lamenting the lack of a HD monster hunter game all week! The environments in 3rd are gorgeous, especially for the psp! The shared save feature sounds fantastic too.

Monster hunter 3rd may not be a new game, but it hasn't been released in the us or eu, however it is very similar to tri on the wii, and features a lot of the same content.

Cheers for passing this on man! :D (its all about long swords!)

[glynnsmith]

Want.

Apparently there is a God of War Chains of Olympus / Ghost of Sparta pack being released for PS3 too, though only for Asia so far.

Oh Shiii- I just woke up? Am I still dreaming?

I love this! Thanks so much for the heads up! Time to watch epic video of awesome!

[thatanimator]

I've been playing Monster Hunter 3 online for a bit now, dont see the news there.. ;)


hope they come through on the whole psp save data > ps3 save data. so that I dont have to grind myself up to HR5 again xD

this will be awesome though

[Habboi]

Yeah but is it coming over to Europe? I hear Tri sales weren't that good.

I've only briefly played one on PSP at it was ok, can't really comment on the actual game. The devs on this though, come across as damn lazy. First they switched that original PS3 title to wii, and a lot of people believe thats so they could deliver a lower quality overall and get away with it. And now they are peddling an existing game off as something new, with the only difference being the textures are maybe one iteration higher (from 256's to 512's etc) Maybe it has to do with the sheer amount of assets that have to be created, but I don't think so, as models are reused.

I liked that amazing moment in the video where it goes from lowres to full HD in a 360p video. I was swept off my feet!

[Hazardous]

oh man..... been playing japanese version of 3rd for a few months now... completely addicted to it - I cant wait to play on ps3!!!!

I love MH!!!!!!!! *fanboi squeel*

[Funky Bunnies]

I'm pumped

[dustinbrown]

Yea they've been working on that one for quite a while actually. Hopefully we'll see some more PS2 collections announced at E3. Rumor has it that they're doing a PS2 FF collection with the International versions (take that with a huge grain of salt though).

[XenoKratios]

My life is 60% percent complete :).

Thanks Capcom!

But need a version made specifically made for the PS3.. not this HD ressed up textures/lighting version.

But I shouldn't complain, at least Capcom is listening!

Also.. I may or may not have been the first one to headlock a rathalos with a dragon breaker hammer in the first monster hunter for ps2.

So with that said... bow down bitches.

[Wahlgren]

Well. We just gotta make sure everyone buys the HD version and maybe they will see that there's a market and do a proper new game for the PS3 :D

[ErichWK]

Tri was pretty awesome..... Stoked!

[bunda4th]

This is awesome, but how will online work with the PS3 Version? I don't have a psp anymore and do not plan on getting a new PSP. It mention nothing about the online play if it will be using PSN or not but it mention something about Ad-Hoc Party (which US does not have)

[Anuxinamoon]

I'm pretty sure the US has AdHoc Party as I have it on my US PS3 account.

[Autocon]

I think if lots of people buy it will only further Capcoms plans of releasing old games over and over and over again to suck as much money from people as they can without ever having to make an actual new game or franchise...

[Shadownami92]

I'm pretty sure the US has AdHoc Party as I have it on my US PS3 account.

Indeed, I know for sure that the US has Ad-Hoc Party, I remember downloading it on my PS3 too.

[chrisradsby]

Aw heck yes !!! >D

[almighty_gir]

looks great. can't help but think the monsters took maybe a liiiiittle too much final fantasy inspiration though :D

[bunda4th]

Oh, did not know Ad-Hoc Party actually arrived to US store. Gotta get it when its back up. I hope this does come to PS3 and PSP also
