The Monster Hunter series is revered by fans, and closely safeguarded by Capcom. The series has so far been benefit to a PlayStation2 release and two PlayStation Portable titles in Europe – of which, it is highly regarded that Monster Hunter: Freedom and Monster Hunter: Freedom 2 alone "saved" the PlayStation Portable system in Japan; a feat that not even the mighty Final Fantasy series was able to accomplish, despite also having pretty enviable sales figures. After the cancellation of the one-time exclusive PLAYSTATION3 title, Monster Hunter 3, and it's realignment for Nintendo's Wii, most were expecting to see it on show at this year's E3, at least in video format.
However, it was confirmed some days before the show that Monster Hunter 3 would not be available at any point. And so, you may well ask why Electronic Theatre has still decided to cover the title?

‘But wait!’ Voletic hears you scream, ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has been recently announced, why are you addressing the third iteration?’ Because background knowledge is a beautiful thing and Voletic has a word count to fill.
My problem with MH is the slow paced and plain combat system, if they make it more dynamic count me in.
They need a full console release, launch the CryEngine one for PC for PS4/XO. And make sure to bring it stateside.

Lost almost all hope for this game, not hearing much about it lately and it "supposedly" supposed to be coming out early of next year. I mean come on new screens or trailer would be ideal :(
