Gamespot : GDC 2009:Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Hands-On

Sophia Tong writes "While everyone else was busy getting ready for the Game Developer's Choice Awards, Capcom held a Monster Hunter Freedom Unite event in San Francisco so that we may get hands-on time with one of Japan's hottest selling games. Staying true to the series but adding new features to make it more single-player friendly, Freedom Unite adds a helpful cat as a sidekick, so that you don't have to go on your monster hunting missions alone. Our hands-on session primarily focused on the multiplayer portion, but after tracking down a giant crab and eventually carving out its parts, it's not hard to see why this game is so popular."

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1153d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1153d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1152d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1152d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1152d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1153d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1152d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.

Japan's Concept of Senpai/Kohai Explains Monster Hunter's Popularity

RPad.tv explains the wild popularity of Monster Hunter in Japan by explaining the cultural concept of senpai and kohai. More complex and subtle than Western mentor/protege relationships, the senpai/kohai relationship is a huge part of why Japanese gamers love the Monster Hunter games for PSP.
