Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Will Be One Of The First PSP Games Remastered For PS3




Soon, you’ll be able to play select PSP games on PS3. Sony made a "PSP Remaster" label just for PSP games that have been upgraded with HD visuals, PS3 controls and for select titles new additional content and stereoscopic 3D graphics.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. is the first game in the series announced for Japan. Users will be able to import save data from the PSP version to the PlayStation 3 version. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. also supports ad-hoc connectivity through the Adhoc Party application.

Sony Computer Entertainment did not set a date for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. and since this news is for Japan the game has not been confirmed for North America at the moment.

This is great news, there so many titles i'd love to see get remastered. Gods Eater would be very nice as well

One one hand cool. On the other this questions Sony's handheld strategy.

i can only imagine that PS Suite has a large selection of games already available when it launches for NGP, and Android. And that the NGP has a large selection of top IP's in development.

I guess the rumours of GOW COO and GOS coming to ps3 are true then. I'll be sure to rent that one. As for the likes of Peace Walker and Birth By Sleep. I hope only the former comes at the very most. BBS would not function well as a console release anyhow.

Patapon and crisis core would be great to have in hd

Dissidia should have been on PS3 from the beginning, and both GoW psp games should have been on ps3 to begin with. IMO they're far superior to the original GoW trilogy.

Graphically, its a nice update but nothing:

Thats what they call HD remastered!?
/hype

No thats what Sony calls "milking it".

PS3 could use a MH game.

I'm more interested in seeing how this develops to the NGP.

We know the NGP and PS3 can do cloud gaming as hinted at the NGP reveal, and Kojima said he was working on a game for PS3 whereby you can continue on the NGP.

That is clearly not possible for the PSP due to its hardware though remote play and this initiative definitely makes way for the PS3/ NGP relationship.

Because, with these you should be able to transfer the save fule from the psp version to the ps3 version and vice veras. Problem is that you need both copies of the game. If Sony can find a way to make 2 copies obselete (hence cloud gaming) then they'll definitely have something special going for them.

Only in this way can I see the justification of these psp ports (which is going to be select titles only): it hints at a better service coming and also gets these games out to help the PS3 (best selling conole of 2011 so far) but downplays the psp's importance.

I just wonder what they gona do with the GOW games because they were too short

im assuming these will be cheaper than normal prices, but GOW will be a combo release: its actually the first psp remaster to be known. Sony Taiwan announced it for a July release, but evidence is difficult to find.

But yes, they are short. if they were given a ps2/ ps3 release it would have clearly been seen as Sony trying to stretch the series. They both worked well as PSP titles.

I wonder how people are gona complain when its released

Well you cant blame PSP owners in all honesty. The GOW are 2 prize exclusives and now they are going to the ps3.

I have another thing to consider in relation to the GOW's. Chances are that Ready At Dawn might be handling the port. Couple this with the fact that Heavenly Sword 2 is not being made by Ninja Theory (thank goodness) + RAD were the go to guys for the PSP GOW's (similar to HS) + RAD want to branch into console development.

Could it be possible that RAD have a new exclusive for Sony considering RAD were fishing for a publisher for their new game?

i just hope they don't mess it up

Cool idea but too bad there's nothing on PSP worth playing or paying for again.

Would be cool if Nintendo looked at something like this though, couple games on the DS I wouldn't mind playing in HD.

Damn great news for me, now give my Crisis Core, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Birth By Sleep and Dissidia and im a happy monkey

I will re-buy the two PSP GOW games for the PS3! Then I can have the whole collection on one platform!!

Dissidia will kinda be a waste because of 012. Maybe they'll port that. The 3rd birthday will definately get a port because they wanted it on a home console

More Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD details surface



Sony and Capcom's surprise announcement of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd being turned into a PS3 title has certainly built a lot of anticipation amongst the series' fans. With the opening of the game's official Japanese website, we now have more info on what new things we can expect in the HD version.

Our earlier report mentioned "online play via Ad Hoc Party". Capcom has confirmed that this will apply to both PS3 and PSP users, so a PS3 gamer can team up with another player using a PSP to do co-op hunts.

Thanks to the PS3's DualShock controller, there's no need to do "the claw" anymore. The game's camera controls, which were originally bound to the d-pad in the handheld releases, is now bound to the PS3 controller's right analog stick.

Finally, most of the current and future downloadable content for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd will also be available on Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD. Capcom has yet to announce which ones won't be making the jump.

whoever is doing the button config has obviously never played monster hunter because putting the camera control on the other analog will just mean you have to "claw" on the other side of the controller and the controls will be even worse. hopefully we can just keep the default controls.

honestly i haven't really been impressed with whole PSP Remaster thing. the game still looks as horrible as ever and the wii version still looks better. if they're just going to upscale the games then i guess i was expecting too much.

Sorry what? Camera control on the 2nd analog would make the game so much easier to play... like playing a traditional 3rd person.

You are expecting too much: you appear as if you want the games entirely redone. Of course that is not going to happen. It is just like the PS2 HD collections: they are just porting the PS2 game and cleaning up textures and what not

It is even harder with the PSP considering its graphics are designed to look good on a small screen, not a large one. Sure the graphics of MH3rd HD are not that great, but they look improved nevertheless.
