If you have played MH Generations (Ultimate), and wondered where Yokumo Village was from, it’s from MHP3. MHP3 has its own charms though, certainly. It is less complex than MH4 and Generations.
Similar to how Monster Hunter Generations is the same 4th gen engine as Monster Hunter 4.Ĭomplexity and depth… it’s on par with MH3 but without the swimming or water combat.
Think of it as a different game using the same game engine as MH3U. Unlike Monster Hunter Tri / 3 Ultimate (MH3U) and its “fishing village” theme, complete with water combat, MHP3 features an East Asian theme (similar to Monster Hunter Rise) and no water combat. It’s a completely different game with different maps and a new village but uses the MH3 engine.
In a nutshell… Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (MHP3) is not merely a port of MH3 for the PSP.
