Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Is Coming!

Posted Jul 12, 2006 at 3:45AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News, Titles, Games Tags: Famitsu, Japan

Just last week we got news that a big name PSP game, a sequel to a wildly popular franchise would be announced, speculation in the comments seemed to lean heavily to the idea that it would be either Gran Turismo Mobile, or the next Grand Theft Auto. I suppose it depends on just how much you love the Monster Hunter series, but you if you were expecting either of those games (I was rooting for Crisis Core myself) you might as well prepare to be somewhat disappointed.

The latest issue of Japanese gaming mag, Famitsu announces to the world the arrival of Monster Hunter Freedom 2, (or Monster Hunter Portable 2 in Japan) the first game was huge over there, selling by the truckload, and appears to have been relatively well received in the West as well. We understand that the new game will feature snow covered levels as well as new weapons and items (surely all these are to be expected). While we don't just yet have 100% confirmation, it also appears as though the new game will finally support an oft pined for infrastructure multiplayer mode that will allow gamers to finally go monster hunting with pals.

More news as we get it.

Get your facts straight before trying to sound smart. "Online Hall" was Ad-hoc mode. Idiot.

Common sense. This "big news" originated from Famitsu, a Japanese publication. Of course they'll announce a big-name Japanese game and not some rehashed crap from the US.

# Right again! — Guest 2006-07-12 06:05

I knew it! I cant wait for this one. I have Monster HUnter 2 for the PS2 but its in Japaneese and I cant figure out what the hell I have to do in the missions. Cant wait for this one!

# MHF — Guest 2006-07-12 06:05

Personally I think the game is kinda boring after awhile and unless in this one there is a freakin target system then I might be interested

# Are you serioius?!? — dylr91 2006-07-12 06:08

This is the big title we were waiting for??? MONSTER HUNTER?? Are you F%($@n kidding me??? WOW this is just absurd. Does anybody actually play this game. I thought we were gonna get big news like GT, or Resident Evil or Half-life or something. This is just a complete letdown.

# MHF2 BABY! best game on PSP by far. i'm 120 hours into MHF and about done with the chiefs missions only! CAPCOM ROCKS MY WORLD! sorry for you GT losers. — Guest 2006-07-12 06:22

nocomment

# let down. — Guest 2006-07-12 06:26

i feel let down.

i thought it was vice city stories or even gt4 but this pokemon-wannabe game. no wonder psp is laggin behind the ds.

# above comment — Guest 2006-07-12 06:29

obvisouly you've never played MHF

# that game sucks monkey balls — Guest 2006-07-12 06:33

MHF was a joke game, nothing but doing the same thing over 100,000,000,000, 000 time. How can people stand that game. Tried it and got bored within the first 20 minutes

# to 22 — Guest 2006-07-12 06:37

So after playing the games most boring part's and introductory missions, you are basing your opinion.

You are an idiot

# . — Nietzsche 2006-07-12 06:41

"Just last week we got news that a big name PSP game, a sequel to a wildly popular franchise would be announced."

Can any of you people read? A sequel will be announced. How can you count Gran Turismo Mobile or GTA:LCS as a sequel?

# Why do so many bash MH? — Guest 2006-07-12 06:41

Honestly why are so many of you bashing the game, Just becuase its an rpg that has no levels? does that make it lame? no. Is it becuase it has no targeting system AND REQUIRES SKILL TO PLAY, i should hope not. The gamers of today are beign spoiled with the targetign systems of games and the auto aiming systems.

Play some Counterstrike and tell me how you aim there lol.

Monster hunter has held my interest longer then ALOT of games. On the PS2 i have logged 89 hours, and on the psp i have logged 140 hours. I'm just about to finish up my 4 star quests offline. The item creation system in my opinion is both easy to use and highly effective.

So yea, seriously stop knocking on a great game.

the nukes are coming and you are all going to burn in hell until the earth runs into the sun

# NICE — Guest 2006-07-12 06:50

LOVE IT!!!

# hell yess!!!! — Guest 2006-07-12 07:15

The 1st one is the best psp game to date with a sequal comming out aww man i cant wait

# to Nietzsche — Guest 2006-07-12 07:20

i agree that gran turismo isnt a sequel but vice city could count as a sequel to the last gta game on psp..

and i agree that it is a let down after so much hype i was expecting a real big game but instead this..

:( :(

# wtf — PHae 2006-07-12 07:22

whats monster hunter sounds crap and japanese

# INFRASTRUCTURE! ! — Guest 2006-07-12 07:59

MAN I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!

apprently katanas will have their own weapon field...they wont be GS anymore

# Needs fewer load screens — Guest 2006-07-12 08:13

I just want a game with fewer load screens. That would make this game perfect.

# Well I'm disapointted... I thought we already knew one was on the way? — Shamoo 2006-07-12 08:33

I was really hoping for SE to pull thru.

# Whaat? — Guest 2006-07-12 08:34

The load times weren't even that bad...The game is great, lasts so long. People have to bash and not understand it sold very well in Japan.

# Yeeeeeyah~! — soldatoj57 2006-07-12 08:47

I am a true believer, and this is great news!

# I hope the infrastructure is true — Guest 2006-07-12 08:50

It dissapointed me that Monster Hunter Freedom didn't have infrastructure (I know about x link kai and my router doesn't support it).

# ALL NEW??.. — Guest 2006-07-12 09:00

well since MHF was based off of MH2 i hope this is an ALL NEW game!!!..

# its based off monster hunter 2 37 — Guest 2006-07-12 09:14

monster hunter freedom is based off monster hunter g , an expansion to monster hunter 1, monster hunter 2 features 3 new weapon classes and every wyvern monster hunter g has plus like 13 new boss monsters, and all the levels are new.

# MHP2nd — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-07-12 09:33

It's called Monster Hunter Portable 2nd in Japan. Look at the image.

# Blah — Guest 2006-07-12 09:39

Who cares.

I wouldn't DL another MH for free... .. . . . .

# Slow children at play — Guest 2006-07-12 10:38

Take it easy --- No GS or SnS refrences here. Lets not confuse the poor ba$tards who have not play MHP yet. I picked it up and have not been able to put it down. Tekken - boared after 20 minutes - Fight Night - tired of playing it after 3 fights. Monster HUnter Portable is freeking hard! It does require skill but hey you get to mine, farm and fish - as well as slap around some cats. Try the game out then you will realize why a second game is great for the PSP. Monster HUnter 2 (dos) is doing very well on the PS2. Get it as well, I just hope you can read Japaneese! toodles

# ... — Guest 2006-07-12 10:41

Hell 2 dah mutha Funk'n Yiz yeah!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

# soo coool — souleater 2006-07-12 11:03

Wake me when Resident Evil is announced...

# Lame Lame Lame — Guest 2006-07-12 11:25

Well, I'm officially giving up hope on sony putting out anything worthy of spending money on game wise. I guess all my psp will be good for is the homebrewing scene. DS may seem like a crummy piece of hardware, but to me, it's had games more entertaining than the psp has. PSP has even had some iffy ideas about how to gain populatirty. Come on Sony, I bought this with high expectations and you are failing me. At least the homebrew is going strong.

# .... — Guest 2006-07-12 11:41

The ONE chance Sony had to redeem themselves with a good PSP game, and instead of throwing something huge like Kingdom Hearts or FF, they give us the sequel to the crappiest PSP game. And I expect it to be MUCH crappier than the first.

# Ah dammit! — Zettablade 2006-07-12 12:00

I hate this game, the controls are slow and bad. And when you start, there is no guidence at all! It's a bad, bad game!

# boring — capagotks 2006-07-12 12:34

its not that exiting

# woot — Guest 2006-07-12 13:17

woot i say woot

mother ****ing woot woot.

Here comes a visit from the WOOT train. W00T w0000t!!!

this is the wootiest wooty w00t game on the psp w00t now and the woot woot sequel is going to be teh W00T!!!

# is this a sequel or a expansion? — Guest 2006-07-12 14:08

does this game have ground breakin new features or just more big dinos? I like the first game but its annoyin wen ur surround... i want to swing a faster sword xD cloud ftw...

# HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-07-12 14:40

OH I CANT WAIT... IM STILL PLAYING THE FIRST 1 I JUST CLOCK IN 130HRS:)

# Huh? — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-07-12 16:06

Infrastructure multiplayer? PLEASE SAY THIS WILL MAKE IT AN MMORPG! I DON'T WANT A CRAPPY REMAKE OF AD-HOC TO INFRASTRUCTURE ON THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

# Grrrrr — Guest 2006-07-12 16:31

Why are people so stupid? Gran Turismo for the PSP and Liberty City Stories have already been announced. Why would they get reannounced? Think, people.

Obviously Monster Hunter Portable was the obvious game, since it was the most popular PSP game in Japan (and pretty darn popular in the US, based on the gamefaqs forums).

# awesome — chefxmxe 2006-07-12 17:16

well kinda suxs in the sense that we have to start all over again especially for the people who are like 200+hrs in the game lol..... but i dont mind starting over again just for the bow and hopefully gunlance like the ps2 version...... also i hope its wifi without the kai xlink..... anyways it will like 1yr before we even get a chance to get into it i bet i hope it comes out this yr in english that would be awesome

# @ 47 — Guest 2006-07-12 21:24

KH = Yaoi and disney

FF = Has been bad since FF7

this a port of Monster Hunter 2 for the ps2 and yes there are swords(like the one that Auron from FFX) that are very fast and there are also great bows, Lance cannon (like the lance of the first but it can also shoot). If you want to see any of these weapons you can go to youtube and search for monster hunter 2

# INFASTRUCTURE+M HF2= OWNAGE ON A STICK!!! — Guest 2006-07-13 04:16

i rest my case

# MHF 2 !! — vgit 2006-07-13 06:40

i loved the first game and it was a sucess in the U.S., let's hope it is again! can't wait.

# to all monster hunter haters — Guest 2006-07-15 19:59

they jellous they cant hunt in the game cuz they SUK or have no good taste in video games.

CAN'T wait for monster hunter INFASTRUCTURE

# Can't wait — Guest 2006-07-18 10:18

I have to say that I am also waiting for GTA:VC or another Syphon Filter to come out. But As far as Monster Hunter goes... I LOVE It!! The game maybe a little slow at first and have a very hard learning curve.... But Its so worth it in the end! I have clocked over 100 hours In MHF and I'm have not even cratched the surface!! It truth... I'm going to be sad when I finally done beat it...

# Hope an english version of MHF2 comes out — Guest 2006-09-22 02:55

Can't wait for a MHF2 hope it comes out soon in eng~

Go Capcom~

Hope there's something new/different than the ps2 version

# sounds awsome — Guest 2006-10-17 09:47

iam a big fan of MH on ps2 and iv played over 200 hours on it. MH is definitely a one of a kind i was praying that MH2 would release on the ps2 in the U.S. but after nearly 3 months of looking for any news on that, it turned out that it isnt going to be released to the states. iv heard alot about MHF on psp and now iam hearing of MHF2! man this is gonna be worth picking up a psp just for this alone!

its the break for all of us that were hoping for an english MH2 to come out.

# when? — Guest 2006-10-28 04:18

when does this game come out i just cant wait! have done all villiage quests
