Capcom released new Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD screenshots.
A retail pamphlet, supposedly sent out by Sony, lists Final Fantasy X, a Monster Hunter title, and Lord of Apocalypse for North America.
Very interesting. I wanted to play Lord of Apocalypse and Final Fantasy X on my Vita so this news gets me pumped up.
Final Fantasy X and Monster Hunter confirmed for NA?
I like it! Take my money Sony, SE and Capcom!
IDK if 10 was the last good FF, but it was the last FF I really loved. But while I hated 12 at the time because I wasn't really controlling my party like old FFs, I'd almost like to go back and revisit 12 at some point after LOVING Dragon Age Origins (and 2 to a lesser extent), because now I got the idea of programming tactics properly which I didn't even CARE to learn back in the FF12 days. I won't go ba ck and play 12 now, but if they do a HD remake/remaster of that around the end of this generation, I'd probably pick it up just to see if I enjoy it more now that I was forced to learn and come to enjoy programming tactics for my party.
As for this Monster Hunter for Vita, I have to assume it's the same exact game that's coming for PS3, and they'll probably release the same day. The MHP3HD game. Though here obviously it will be called MHF3HD. I'm a HUGE Monster Hunter fan. MH on PS2 is my favorite online game of all time. And I am getting a Vita. But truth be told I've always prefered Monster Hunter from my couch with a dual shock in my hand, not a PSP or even a Vita. If I'm right and it's the same game for PS3 and Vita, I will be getting the PS3 version for sure.
Though I admit I am disappointed they didn't bring back the original right analog stick attacking now that Vita has the right stick now and this game is going to be on PS3 as well.
FF10 was last FF to have an FF standard sotry, that is an epic story.
I did not think the story of FF12 and FF13 were epic, or even good, they were mediocre . SE needs to hire proper script writers.
Can't wait, FFX HD is one of the main reasons I want a Vita. They need to release a trailer or at least some screenshots.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Vita gets a monster Hunter game. But what surprises me is that if that's true why hasn't capcom announced it yet?
if that list is true
my head is gonna explode....
I was really bothered by the (almost fact) that most of these titles which were launched in Japan wouldn't reach the states ! if this news could be trusted,then I have a ray of hope ;___; ....
I'm happy Monster Hunter is coming. I can finally see what all the fuss is about. Still not sure which platform to get FFX on though. Might get it on both if it supports transfarring.
No Ragnarok Odyssey, Tales of Innocence and Final Fantasy Type-0 is dissapointing though.

I wish that there was a stronger following outside of Japan, because the Monster Hunter series is just a blast of fun every time I pick it up, but, at the same time, the lack of innovation and a lackluster graphic update lowers the final score for me."

"As I’ve been looking through the releases of the next few months, as well as those of September, October and November, I’ve noticed that a couple of them are HD remakes of games that many gamers enjoyed during their original time (Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Devil May Cry HD Collection, etc.). It’s because of this that a major question comes to mind – Are these remakes really necessary? Is it really no longer possible to go back to older systems and enjoy the games we once loved in their original graphics? Does everything truly need to be HD for people to enjoy it now?"
Well i been saying it all along, however console fans argue otherwise and mostly they are just being fanboish and trying to protech their platform of choice even though it may cost them.
I feel console gamers need to ask for true BC along with HD remakes. Personally as a PC gamer i can play games from the last 20 years. There are many ways to play old games, be it Dosbox, Virtualbox. Hell even older console games run on the PC without issue.
It would be a real loss to console gamers if the next consoles didnt run games which were purchased on current consoles. Imo i think people have bought thousands of USD worth of software on current consoles and not being able to play those next gen would be a real loss. Now i know some of you are going to scream we can own older consoles too, yes you can however how many older boxes are going to own and how many times are you going to replace the ones that die? In the end the best solution is to have proper BC. Current gen games already look very good and i think not being able to play those on the next box would be a real loss.
Nope, people should only play what they own.
However i am advocating that console gamers stand up for their rights and demand BC, or pretty soon they may find themselves having to buy remakes of remakes that they bought for their current consoles, imagine having to buy HD remake of God of war 1 - 3 again on PS4
"demand BC"
Not always possible though. The whole point in console hardware is them being able to make a custom solution to fit exactly what is optimal at that point in time, so it can be pricy or impossible to allow backwards compatibility. The jump in hardware from PS2/Xbox to PS3/360 was so huge that they either had similar architecture (360 and xbox are practically PCs) or the older architecture was very cheap to include in the new model (BC PS3s basically have the vital PS2 chips/components inside them).
"Nope, people should only play what they own."
There are a lot of older games which are impossible to purchase, and many that can be purchased doesn't mean the money goes to whoever deserves it (like if you buy second hand or if the IP was nabbed by a big evil publisher after they cut the developer down to shreds and left its staff jobless). So sometimes piracy is fine (only when it is victimless or the "victim" is just holding the IP for undeserved profits). Maybe if you can track down a developer's spiritual successor you could send them cash to buy lunch with or something :P Would probably get posted on their twitter.
On another note, HD Remakes allow a lot more people to experience a game that is deserving of said remake. Like if Morrowind was remade - it would sell almost as much as Skyrim, if not more (most people playing skyrim right now have never played an elder scrolls game before). Though, in some cases a direct remake isn't the best option (most people hate the "you hit but the game said you missed" mechanic for example).
IMHO most of the best games that will ever exist have already come out, a lot of people would say the same thing about movies some time ago - but when a movie is remade there is a significant chance that it wont properly represent the original and could be a flop - with games however, its like they have the original actors but with new cameras and techniques - so remakes can modernise a game without killing what made it so good.
Sigh. Never got to play ICO or SOTC when I had a PS2. Now they are together, on one disc, in HD, WITH trophies. Why should I go back to the original? Buy a PS2 and go back to the original if you want but please don't deny me the option to play an updated version.
This gen is so selfish. Don't buy the remakes if you don't want to but stop the 'no more remakes garbage'. Sly and ICO/SOTC remakes haven't stopped or slowed down the sequels of these games. We still have LG and Sly 4 coming our way.Go look in every dusty store to find these games to play originally if you want but leave us HD remake gamers out of it. Some of us perfer a better looking version of an older game rather then playing the same choppy, low res, blurry version. Okami was beautiful but Okami HD would dazzle your eyes. Keep all options open.
I would rather have new IPs and new games, then remakes of games anyday. I don't feel like paying for a game I already own, again just because my ps3 doesnt play ps2 games, or now it looks a little better and has trophies.
yes we do. If you don't want, don't buy. What's earned with the "pretty rehashes" at least partly goes to be reinvested into new games.
Dead horse is dead horse.
I'd love to see a major re-working of the pokemon series. The games are still awesome, but it'd be nice if the aesthetics were different ie 3d models instead of sprites.
I bought it for the Wii. I'm not sure I'll buy this though. The concept of Monster Hunter is great. The execution? Eh...
Tri .was bit good..i beb playing since ps2 days..i hope it comes ti america
True Story, I almost gave up on it at one point, until
I started getting the plus armor.
It takes dedication, but once you get there, you'll love every moment a have a sense of pride.
Thanks, guys! I'll try it out again. I just want smoother combat. Ya know? I'm a Demon's Souls fanatic, so I understand sticking with something. :)
