Monster Hunter Series To Be Removed From The Playstation Store?

A posting on the well known hacking site Wololo has revealed that the PSP Monster Hunter games are capable of allowing PSP emulation on the Playstation Vita. This is bad news for anybody who wants to actually play the series.

[SandWitch]

Probably yes, then patched and put back to PS Store

[strangelove]

I'm mostly worried about the last time a game was removed for exploits. It took them forever to put it back up. Luckily I still have my physical copy of Monster Hunter though. Of course my PSP screen is busted however...

[1nsomniac]

Forever.... I seem to remember it being under 2 weeks.

[strangelove]

It was actually a bit over three weeks, which is practically the same as forever.

[CaptCalvin]

It did take something like a month.

[Blacksand1]

With the PSPgo it was easy to port the games i brought on there to Vita.

[NovusTerminus]

Hackers: They take all the good things from people who just want to play.

[SpitTake]

You should read what Wololo said stupid.
He said "We expect Sony to pull the game from their stores within the next 48h, so if you are interested in homebrews, you might want to buy that game asap before it is out. For those who worry that we are sacrificing one of the best titles of the PSP in the name of homebrews, please keep in mind that so far the PSP games used in VHBL exploits have always returned to the PSN after a patch has been pushed by Sony."

[NastyLeftHook0]

...i dont even....-_-

[TheLiztress]

There is no guarantee on that. And besides, why don't they just leave this thing alone? Do you really have to hack something like this?

[Baka-akaB]

"You should read what Wololo said stupid."

And ? how does it contradict what he says ? It basically mean that because of hackers crap , the game might not be around for people wanting it for at least a month

That click is basically as annoying as a drm in their consequences for other people

[SpitTake]

I love all the dislikes for the simple reason that shows how much people are willing to take it up the azz from corporations and how much mindless fanboys are on this site because god forbid that you get to do what ever you want with your console that you paid 250-300 dollars.
There aren't even any piratable vita games on the internet, stupid, this program is mainly for home brew games

[rpd123]

You can do whatever you want with your console... as long as it's legal. Once you start pirating games, it's not legal and you cannot do whatever you want. That's like saying because you paid for your blu ray player you should be able to steal blu rays. It doesn't make any sense at all.

[Baka-akaB]

Your right shouldnt be interfering with the basic rights of others to just enjoy their system and stuff as is .

And right now that kind of crap is

[1nsomniac]

Well done on making urself look more of a tool than these hackers ever will.

[Lord_Sloth]

Let's see what hackers have done for us...Aside from the DRM and the Playstation hack...Which punished the gamers instead of anybody else...Nothing good comes to mind.

Hackers only keep us from having nice things.

Now they're robbing us of a most beloved franchises in the US!

[NovusTerminus]

So, I am a tool for just playing and paying for the games I like?

I don't mind hacking and modding at it's base level, but the endgame is always the same: Piracy. The PSP had a HUGE problem with it, and if it takes off on the Vita, it just might as well.

But I am a tool for wanting to support devs that I like, and play games I enjoy. But they are Martyrs for paving the way for piracy and possible closed dev teams.

Okay... Whatever.

[Baka-akaB]

Dont bother , they'd righfully b*tch about the grievances of drms , yet basically worship someone with the same nasty after effects

[PopRocks359]

@LordMe

This. Absolutely this. I always get the same criticism for saying how I enjoy supporting the people who make the games I enjoy.

As far as I'm concerned, piracy is theft and modding a platform can and probably eventually will lead to piracy on that platform which leads to more crappy regulations pushed on to the consumer.

[Blacksand1]

I already D.L MHU on my Vita from the PSPgo in March when i frist got my Vita and I put VC2 on it to.

[CaptCalvin]

What's the point of PSP emulation on the Vita again? Doesn't it already support many PSP games already?

[MasterCornholio]

Why do some people want to hack their systems?

The answer is free games.

[CaptCalvin]

but it's not like the PSP emulation that we're talking about here lets you play free games anyway right? or am i just ignorant?

[Skate-AK]

They mean PSP emulation to where you can play Snes games and other platforms.

[CaptCalvin]

Ah that makes sense.

[FinaLXiii]

HD version inbound?

[CaptCalvin]

Read the article.

[FinaLXiii]

sorry my fault. :p

[Blankman85]

Or at least the summary!

[lilmetal]

So, most of my favorite PSP games cannot be downloaded to my Vita. (DJMax Portable, Phantasy Star Portable, Kingdom Hearts)

And, since no method exists to copy the UMDs of said games to my Vita, the only other option (aside from buying another PSP, which I'm not gonna do) is to pirate the games.

^ Call me a tool all you want. I know I'm not entitled backwards compatibility here, but had they not removed those games from the PS Store right before the Vita was even released, I'd be playing them on mine right now. (With the exception of KH...)

I've regretted buying a Vita since day 1, and it's only getting worse, but I won't get into that...

[Qrphe]

Dude I feel you. I really wish KH BbS, FFVII CC, PSP (now you see what Sega did there!) and VC2 were up on the store

:(

[joeorc]

you are not a tool, Me and other's are just trying to point out what you and other's just seem to not understand. you like consumer right's, right? Yes?

Everyone does, but what about the flip side of this very coin, what about the right's of the people who make said Software for a living that provides you amusement.

when they make those games, they may be gamer's at heart, but on the same token they make those games for a living.

Just because you as a consumer buy another device, does not mean you have the right, to take their work off of the disc you payed for and put it on another system you bought with out asking them first. Because
Once again, you do not own the right to do that with their iP because, that right belong's to them what platform they made the game for.

Its mainly telling the iP holder his right's do not matter , if he's going to sell me his content. but that's where many are fooling themselves if they really think that is true. Picture you go to a blood bank and donate your blood or better yet a loved one in your family, and they donate blood and through that blood they make clones. without your OK or the ok of your loved one. You would be ok with that?

Maybe, but other's i doubt would. People want right's as long as it only is in their best interests its seem's not for other people, that is why it's pretty amusing to me these hacker's say Homebrew does not hurt anyone, when it does indeed hurt's the right's of those people who created the content in the first place. You are denying the person who created the content of his or her right's because you say he or she sold the right's to their content the moment they sold it on a disc. That's the same issue with the blood bank example and using the blood DNA to do anything they would want with it.

the point is you can claim your fighting for rights of people all you want, but there is always people that get hurt one way or the other in the end.

but since that's only a small number it's acceptable right? as long as the Majority get what they want?

Im not saying you do not have the right to do what you are doing, Im simply pointing out you and other's actions do in fact effect other's. No matter how small that may seem.

[Jason143]

they dont patch the game they patch the firmware. and this has been known for anybody who is a member of wololos forum for weeks now. is legit lmao at kinect guy. this site is comedy

[AIndoria]

NO. I've had more fun than anything playing this on my PSP >.< This and Crisis Core : Final Fantasy VII were probably the only reason I bought a PSP, and oh, Metal Gear Solid.

[Perjoss]

I almost had a mini heart attack when I saw this Monster news article here, and on the top row no less! thought for a minute they might have announced a PS3/360 version or maybe even a western release for the Vita!

At this point I'd even be really happy just to see a western release for portable 3rd on the PSP.

[Jason143]

Stand your ground MH fan! Request MH$ lol We already have MH3 portable hd on ps3 so I can not see them releasing this yet again. Were suppose to here news by end of year for west so I assume its MH4 3ds NA. As far as vita gos I expect a totally new iteration for japan only.Either way ill buy it all up lol

[Perjoss]

There doesn't seem to be any hd monster hunter games on the EU/UK PSN store, are you talking about Japan or US maybe?

[TrendyGamers]

It's possible.
