Cool looking box.

Hopefully this sells in a ratio similar to what it did in Japan; could help give Sony some momentum for the PS pin Europe and even the USA.

correct me if im wrong, but isnt this game supposed to be "really good"...or is it just a asian fad?

no disrespect to my asian friends, you are cool peoples in my book.

PLAYSTATIONGENRATION5434d ago

Since it lacks online play you need to have friends with the game or you can get x link kia ..(orsomething like that ) its a fun game...i love it wish it was on ps360 for online play

50CALheadshot5434d ago

oh.
fair enough

thanx for the info

Arnon5434d ago

Lemme just say that this game is outstanding. I've sunk close to 400 hours on the PSP version. And about 300 hours on the PS2 version. I'm eagerly awaiting this.

rockleex5434d ago

I want Monster Hunter MMO on PS3 and/or 360!! >:D

Dir_en_grey5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

This is only a guess, but I think they delayed the released of Freedom Unite to match the launch of Ad Hoc Party through PS3 in regions other than Japan, like they did w/ the Japanese release of Monster Hunter 2nd G(Japanese name for MHFU).

For those who don't know Ad Hoc Party is free software from PSN that lets you play your PSP online with your PS3 while being able to voice/text chat through PS3(maybe video chat too?).

PS: Monster Hunter is a great game either you play alone or w/ friends. You have friends help you out when you can't get through some parts but if you are good at action games this game is GREAT for single player cuz it brings you that challenge a good action gamer thirsts for.

Ohh! Hohoho!

Looks like the big guns are being loaded. This could smash through Japan like Godzilla on overtime.

Best PSP Games Of All Time Ranked - PlayStation Universe

Find out the answer to what are The Best PSP Games Of All Time in our ranked list of 16 excellent titles that appeared on Sony's first handheld.

Terry_B1132d ago

Bad List since Ridge Racers 2 is missing there.

PapaBop1132d ago

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

luckytrouble1132d 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.

WeAreLegion1132d 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_Spatula1131d 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_Skywalker1131d 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_Skywalker1131d 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.

SDuck1132d 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_Spatula1131d ago

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