I want the fatest title of the year!

New monster hunter trailer?

A ps3 game? Or a psp trailer..

because US PS3 OWNERS WOULD LOVE TO BUY A MONSTER HUNTER GAME ON THE PS3, we would GO CRAZY FOR IT(looks at capcom).

+ GamerMoney on April 6th, 2009 at 10:10 am said:

John’s back!

+ EL_Hintern on April 6th, 2009 at 10:12 am said:

The idiots at Capcom will never realise how much money they could make with a Monster Hunter Online for Ps3.

Sony should atleast realise this and help Capcom with it… but these are all dreams :(

WHERE IS JEFF????!!!!?!!?

+ Bildo818 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:13 am said:

Hey SCEA…here is a flame…now, please put this under /6′s bum. It might help! LOL Just kidding, you could set them on fire and we’d still be waiting for an update on when they plan on putting the fire out.

SOCOM DLC? SOCOM 1.5? SOCOM HOME Space?

Also would LOOOOVE more Fat Princess news!

I am saying it now, but Fat Princess is what the PSN needs to take the lead. This will change the PSN as we know it!

+ Anti-Steven on April 6th, 2009 at 10:14 am said:

Flock and Rag Doll Kung Fu come out this week, right? I can honestly say that this Fat Princess is the most desirable PSN game I’ve ever seen; I hope we get a release date sooner than usual for digital titles.

+ Jeff Rubenstein on April 6th, 2009 at 10:41 am said:

You are correct, both games due this week.

+ TwinDad on April 6th, 2009 at 10:15 am said:

I think Jeff is busy with the coming kid. He mentioned sonagrams last week.

I like these heads up posts. Keep them coming.

Maybe a release date for Fat Princess?? (I hope)

+ DNAgent on April 6th, 2009 at 10:16 am said:

More news about my favorite Fat Princess? Why is the PSBlog going to give us news about Gabe Newell?

+ Jeff Rubenstein on April 6th, 2009 at 10:43 am said:

A new Monster Hunter trailer?
I will have a heart attack if it is for the PS3. Please let it be for the PS3. If it is, I will not bad mouthing Capcom. PLEASE LET IT BE FOR THE PS3. PPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE.

+ Shogoki1 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:18 am said:

OMG, new Monster Hunter Trailer, I hope it is for ps3

+ Craiji on April 6th, 2009 at 10:20 am said:

The trailer is definitely for MHFU for PSP, if not I will be shocked.

Capcom please do Monster Hunter right, especially on the PSN with themes and wallpaper, and maybe some music.

Sony(SCEA), give us Ad-hoc party please

+ Blkant on April 6th, 2009 at 10:21 am said:

Bleh, seriously? Fast and Furious? Thats a like a pathetic movie for middle schoolers and high schoolers who are nothing more than overly spoiled brats, (or pretending that they have money) then driving like idiots thinking that breaking the law and putting actual peoples lives in danger is some how cool because, somehow, driving a car is fun…. Those people seriously need to grow up, get a life, and get a real hobby. What ever happened to fun, logical activities like surfing, biking, skateboarding whatever. This newest generation will end the human race I fear -_

+ Vengeful-Chaos on April 6th, 2009 at 10:22 am said:

Can’t wait for Flock.

+ butterflybangs on April 6th, 2009 at 10:22 am said:

Sounds like a fairly dull week.

New MH trailer will probably be the upcoming PSP game. If by some chance its a Ps3 game trailer, this week will become utter complete awesomeness.

*prepares for disappointment*

+ Bildo818 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:22 am said:

Yeah I was reading about this AD HOC this and it sounds awesome. I would love this in America!

FAT PRINCESS release date would be sweet!

+ TheHater2 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:23 am said:

@15 Cariji
I belive you may be right. I forgot about that game for the PSP. I think it is coming out this August for the PSP here in the States. But I really really really really really really really really really really really really hope it is for the PS3.

+ Kren420 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:25 am said:

sounds like it will be an ok week looking forward to Fat Princess like the majority of the population lol

+ Poopypirate on April 6th, 2009 at 10:26 am said:

fat princess?????

+ Gorvi on April 6th, 2009 at 10:27 am said:

A new Monster Hunter trailer, hmm? That would have to be Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, right? Would it be too much to hope for a US release of the Ad Hoc Party app for the PS3 as well? :)

+ Onna76_NL on April 6th, 2009 at 10:38 am said:

Can’t wait for John’s return and see the next posting chaos approaching *LOL*.

+ SolidusDave on April 6th, 2009 at 10:39 am said:

bleh, will be a trailer of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP for the US-Release…

Monster Hunter on PS3 or bust :P

You think the franchise is only successful on the handhelds, but for one there was no advertising for MH1 on PSP at all in US/europe -> = death for any new jrpg-style franchise on a platform with many games and not many people who can play online (network adapter). Plus, in Japan it had monthly fees, not really an attraction.

Wii-Version might be the right step back to home consoles, but it is hard to believe it will be more than a MH2.5 let alone the online capabilities.

The PSP games are good, but they lack the home-theater-atmosphere, the controller and most of all the mmorpg-like Online-System (plus a PS3-Version would probably don’t have the little-area-system an more and it would look stunning, great animated Wyverns etc.)

+ KSPRAYDAD on April 6th, 2009 at 10:41 am said:

Have you guys not visited HOME? Ads and this trailer/advert is up for MHFU already:

Congratulations Jeff to you and to your “Wife” :-)

+ Jeff Rubenstein on April 6th, 2009 at 10:45 am said:

Not loving your use of quotes here…

+ Onna76_NL on April 6th, 2009 at 10:44 am said:

Wow, PSN game fun overload, kinda missed that for a couple of weeks so um… bring it on! Can’t wait!

+ jBat17 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:49 am said:

Congrats Jeff and to the wife..

when is the live chat with sucker punch?

+ Jeff Rubenstein on April 6th, 2009 at 10:51 am said:

It\’s PSP, it\’s not a new game announcement. A live chat with Sucker Punch *will* happen, just not exactly sure when yet.

+ NightHawk17 on April 6th, 2009 at 10:51 am said:

Can’t wait to hear more about Fat Princess, hopefully it’ll be out early June cause i want to play it the WHOLE SUMMER.

And that Monster Hunter news better be about the PS3

+ ManaKnight on April 6th, 2009 at 10:53 am said:

Congrats on getting married Jeff. I wish the best for you and your wife in the future. ;)

Anyway, I’m definitely excited for the Fat Princess news. I’ve been pretty hyped about the game for a while. Seeing the news in last weeks Qore made me even more excited.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Rubenstein! What are you doing writing here today, shouldn’t you be on your Honeymoon or something? My wedding gift to you is A WEEK OFF WITH DOUBLE PAY.
