RVDondaPC:  Nothing is different besides a few encounters.  They are basically the same game.

naznatips:  MHTri will have less content, and the online issue can be resolved through having a PS3 with Ad-Hoc Party or a computer capable of using X-Link Kai.  P3rd will recover some old monsters as well as the old weapons, that alone gives it more content.  It loses (possibly) 1-2 of the monsters Tri had because they are mostly underwater monsters (Gobul and Lagiacrus), but otherwise P3rd will have more content.

It's missing 4 of the 12 areas in MHTri (the underwater ones) and it isn't replacing them with any other areas that I know of, thus eliminating a lot of monsters and areas, and a lot of content. It's adding some new monsters, but it's a pretty big difference in gameplay content. The online through adhoc also won't have the matchmaking area you get online on Wii, and in general the underwater feature is one of the most interesting changes and major evolutions in this entry, so losing it makes it signifficantly less evolutionary.
