God Eater Burst Announced For North America

DualShockers writes, "Looks like someone has an appetite for God! Okay, I will concur that this was one of the cheesiest, if not lamest, openings seen on DualShockers, and for that I apologize. I’m just a little too excited to know that the God Eater Burst game – which makes its ways from D3 Publishers – will be arriving on North American shores. If I’m excited, you can only imagine what our native RPG fanatic Chad Awkerman is doing. To give you a clue, it involves yelling, shaking, and bad dancing..."

This really looks great. I've never played the original but we need as many games on the PSP as we can get!

AN ENGLISH RELEASE!!! \\^O^//

rockleex5039d ago

Monster Hunter.

Btw, this is not a sequel. It just has extra content.

Hitman07695039d ago

@rockleex

Good to know. I never thought it was a sequel (as the author states it is an "enhanced version") but thanks for the heads up for those who might not know.

And off topic, yeah Monster Hunter is ridiculous. What a waste of 30 doll hairs.

ThanatosDMC5039d ago

MH is not hard... just dont get hit??? /s

rezzah5039d ago

You guys fails, if you think its that hard tell it to the millions of players who enjoy beatiing the shyt outta those monsters so easily. Sure most of them are jap but that doesnt mean they get a easier verion, you just cant handls a monster hunting game because its so epic.

Been looking forward to this announcement since the game was first released in Japan. The extra content is just gravy...

pspgweber5039d ago

It looks great, this game has more new stuffs than the original one.

Chadness5039d ago

I might be slightly hot and bothered by this. ;)

Myst5039d ago

Hmm do I decide to wait or decide to import. I heard and saw that most of the menu seems to be in Kana with quite a bit of katakana...Though since it apparently has a story I guess I better wait :/

Baka-akaB5039d ago

I'm psyched but i hope it still features the original story . Would suck if it's a sequel and they skipped the first one

They might as well just say they want every PS Vita game that’s ever gone to that on switch. Which begs the question... WHY THE HELL DIDNT THESE PEOPLE SUPPORT THE PLATFORM!?

How Sony & Third Parties Attempted to Capitalize on Monster Hunter's Absence on PSV

VGChartz: “While the PSP definitely got off to a flying start in terms of sales thanks to the promise of console quality gaming on the go, things took a downturn in the following years due to a variety of factors including increasing competition from the DS & phones, and a lack of quality exclusives. In Japan, one franchise injected new life into the little handheld turning it from a decent seller into the must-have machine in the country - this was, of course, Monster Hunter.

Capcom's co-operative action-adventure series was born on the PS2 but found a much better audience on the PSP, where local ad-hoc play became somewhat of a phenomenon in the country. Each successive release sold better than the previous entry, culminating in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd clearing nearly 5 million copies. The stage was all set for the franchise to make the jump to Sony's new handheld in 2011, but in a surprise piece of news it was announced the series would instead be transitioning to Nintendo's new 3DS handheld.

With the audience still very much interested in buying a true next-gen successor on the Vita despite the hardware shift, other companies stepped in to attempt to plug the gap in the market, leading to a large variety of imitator franchises on the Vita. It's these series I'm intending to examine in this article - what they are (including many that actually pre-dated Monster Hunter or appeared alongside it on PSP), how many entries Vita saw, how well they sold, and how well they succeeded at providing a co-operative hunting experience.”

Lol i remember soul sacrifice, i remember when people hyped it up to be the next monster esque game, it was fun for a while but it didn't do it for me.

Jaypi032161d ago

Honestly, story wise, I enjoyed it more than Monster Hunter, but it's comparing apples to oranges really.

Movefasta19932161d ago (Edited 2161d ago )

I don't play monster hunter for story, honestly the monster games have terrible stories but I still love them. I couldn't stand the bland environments in soul sacrifice and having to regenerate the abilities.

TheGamez1002162d ago

Freedom wars, God eater, Toukiden, and soul sacrifice I loved. Well the single player stories that is which is the one thing the mh games lacked to me. Very underrated games.

InKnight7s2161d ago

wow wow stop there lack of quality exclusives? Crisis Core FFVII, Dissidia, Dissidia 012, The 3rd Birthday, KH BBS, Type 0, other SE games, 2 GOW games, DW games, MGS Peace Walker, Dragon Ball Tag Tenkaichi (best DB on the go ever), tons of best anime games including Yu Gi Oh GX, Gundam, HxH, Naruto and so more, Megan Man X, Gran Turismo, 2 GTA games, without mentioning other PS exclusives and MH. PSP main issue was the HACK, without hacking I assume psp games would had sold much better. best portable device ever. with ton of PS1 classics.

Chaos_Order2161d ago

I actually thought Freedom Wars was excellent. Loved the setting, loved the combat, in some aspects I think it beats even Monster Hunter World. (Although MH's scale, scope and depth makes it better overall) I'd love to see a sequel or spiritual successor.
