Capcom JP announces MHP 3rd
It seems that it will have a mix of MH3 content and MHP2G as you can see lots of MH3 monsters and Tigrex, Naruga and at least two more monsters previously unknown. Also real infrastructure is rumoured (as always).
Slated for release later this year in Japan.
UPDATE, from Sonsaru on gameFAQs:
* Weapons are GS, tachi, hammer, SnS, twin blades, gunlance, hunting horn, lance, bow, slash axe, light bow and heavy bow, as reported. All of ‘em!
* Infrastructure is in.
* It definitely isn’t Tri.
* Village is called Yukumo.
* Village chief is a beautiful, middle-aged woman (or “cougar”)
* Recepcionist is very cute – so what’s new?
* Mixed sex hot spring
* Lots of very oriental touches
* Includes the gorge area from MHF.
* Monsters are Lightening Wolf Dragon Jinouga, Aoashira, Gaava
* No underwater.
* Many things that are totally new to 3rd.
* Monsters from Tri will also appear.
* Weapons have been considerably changed.
* Not as many quests as P2G, but more than P2.
* Armor uses the skill points system.
* You take 2 cats with you.
* You can customize cat armor.
* Cat weapons can be cut or hit damage.
* A new communication element is added to deepen multiplay. Still a secret for now.
* You can use Kanji and other Japanese alphabets for character names (until now they were only in English even in the Japanese games)
* No carry over from P2G.
* All of the “promises” that a MHP game must keep, will be kept.
* P2 is not the base of the game, much of it has been totally remade.
* Monster movements and graphics have been greatly improved – images of the village, forest and volcano do look quite a bit nicer than P2.
* They want you to be thinking – “Can they really have this many monsters moving with this quality of graphics? And you can do this too…?!”
* Q – Does it feel like Tri to play? A – It isn’t P2G or Tri, but something new.
* Cat Village is out in August.
RotR’s MH3 Engagement
Some of you have already noticed that in the background of RotR the Monster Hunter Tri pages are shaping up. While I don’t have game data uploaded and accessible right now, the real estate framework for presenting those and commenting on them is almost ready now.
I’m completely recreating the site, stepping away from WordPress. WordPress is awesome when you have a blog and it surely can contain lots of static content, but for all this dynamic stuff I’m doing it’s starting to limit my ability for aspired gorgeousness.
On the MH3 site there will be a User Section (you’ll have to create a new login apart from the login you’ve used on RotR’s main site) which will feature achievements, a What’s New section and access to new comments on the community pages. Notice the bolded will. It’s not completely finished yet.
Speaking of community pages there will be a fresh view on the forum. Take a look and use it for commenting already.
Basically this three sections are now working and can be used. Why don’t you guys take a look and make yourself comfortable on the new upcoming world dominating MH3 site? (Excuse my illusions of grandeur…)
This is the Avatar Creator. It has been announced some time ago and basically is not related to MH3. Still it’s the first new tool on the new site.
This is the main access portal to the site. Every available tool will be presented here with a small description of itself. Also there’s the countdown clock ticking already!
And finally this is the community section. I have dubbed it The Wall, as it basically is a pinboard of some sorts enabling you to pin notes on it or make follow ups on already existing notes. As it gets crowded I will look into note selections based on time, randomness or whatever seems reasonable. Every visit here will show you a different view, so check back often.
Also, new comments or notes since your last visit will shop up in your user center (not yet), so you can keep track of your activities.
Enjoy the new world.

Monster Hunter Portable….three? [Rumour]
Well, the cover of the current Hongkong based gameWave says it all. This magazine had some hits on pre-announcing PSP games before (like Persona), but it’s still a rumour and the logo looks faked to me.
Anyhow, good news? Yes, indeed.
Update: Firstly, the logo on that mag was created by bobofango on the wikia as a placeholder. Which makes me lol on gameWaves skills. Secondly, Leo Tan from Capcom Europe has denied any knowledge about a upcoming MHP3.
Make your own Avatar!
Well, not the blue ones but still some astonishing options here.
All made possible by the awesome jQuery library and the even more awesome Inkoseh.
