Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Screens (And Trailer) Show Massive Potential for PSP Remaster Program
Hopefully by now you’ve heard the exciting news that Sony is working on a program called “PSP Remaster“, one that will introduce some of the best PlayStation Portable titles to the PlayStation 3 in HD form. The first title planned is the recently released Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, a game that has only been released in Japan, but managed to become the best-selling PSP title of all-time in its respective country. In anticipation of its console release, Capcom is already showcasing a few screenshots for the PS3 remaster, and we have them right here.
[Update] We’ve got the trailer, too!
The first ever Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD screenshots are viewable below:
Given the PlayStation Portable’s native resolution of 480×272, these HD screenshots are impressive. Just as we saw with the PlayStation 2 HD collections, PSP conversions will have tons of hardware room to explore, something that can be huge going into the future. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD has been an incredibly successful game, and there are several other PSP releases that were outstanding, but millions have never had the chance to enjoy them. Sony’s new program has a lot of potential, and we’re cheerful to see what else is in store.

Oh wow, that third one especially. Just wow.
It might not look like much alongside the PS3′s juggernauts, but if you’ve played the PSP Monster Hunter games, you know that level of detail is a step up.
I was thinking it more showed how powerful the PSP actually is, and how unfortunate it was that piracy got the better of it.
Hoping for stereoscopic 3D!
Maybe they it will come with a digital copy in prep for the NGP?
is this getting out of Japan?
I just hope Capcom doesn’t fuck this up. At this point, I will take any MH for the PS3. I would love for them to make a MH game design for the PS3 instead of a PSP port
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd looks great on the PSP but the PS3 version looks amazing compared to the PSP version. Capcom is doing a great job of porting Monster Hunter Portable 3rd to the PS3. I really hope this new PSP Remaster Program catches on in North America and everywhere else so everyone can have some great ports of some awesome PSP games.
i hope they do the same for that 3rd person restiance game , god of war , metal gear peace walker. a few others too.
I don’t expect any reworking of the artwork, but please please add mip-mapping.
I can understand forgoing mip-maps to conserve memory on the PSP, but we have ton of that (relatively) on the PS3.
Shimmering textures is not acceptable on modern hardware like the PS3.
Or better yet AF filtering.
Add AA too. The art assets aren’t exactly “heavy lifting” 8xAA should be a piece of cake.
Load time should be non-existant, we have more than enough memory to pre-cache adjacent areas on the PS3. If they have time, they should remove load screens all together and make it seamless. ^_~
Oh cool this looks very promising thanks psls
this is really awesome but one question comes to mind? When is this Monster Hunter game coming state side!!!
