"Face it: the minute Capcom releases a new Monster Hunter game on the PS Vita, Sony will sell a bajillion PS Vita units. But now, Nintendo has locked up Monster Hunter 4, so tough crap? These mysterious screens hint at the possibility of a new Monster Hunter game in the Vita's future. Or do they?

The images appeared on a Chinese bulletin board. And like most things that pop up on bulletin boards, let's use some caution!

Online in Japan, people seem unsure if this is Monster Hunter for the PS Vita, a Vita version of China's Monster Hunter rip-off Hunter Blade, or simply a clever prank. Whatever it is, it sure looks nice on that Vita!"

(The board where the images were first seen: http://bbs.a9vg.com/thread-2967296-1-1.html)

It definitely looks like Monster Hunter - what do you guys think? Will the Vita be getting a game after all?

I actually noticed this earlier when I did a google search for Monster Hunter 4 after someone was discussing on these forums.

Though I assumed the worst and thought it was Hunter Blade, judging by the text from the article.

Also, Kotaku.

i'm going with not MH vita.

It could be Hunter Blade, but the screenshots show the actual Rathalos armour, which I think would be too much for a game from another franchise to rip-off

I mean, don't get me wrong - I really hope this is MH Vita, but I really don't see it happening any time soon with Nintendo's moneyhat on the franchise.  Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I sooooooo hope this is true

But its Kotaku so probably fake

Judging from the source and the way the hot keys don't even fit on the screen, I say this is faker than fake.

You should've posted the full article. People don't know that the first image is used from fraps.

UPDATE: We always said this was shaky, but we initially missed one important detail that should have put this even more in the "probable hoax" category. A third image, not initially shown in this post but viewable in the link below, includes a fraps.com watermark. Fraps is a video-capture program commonly used to record video of PC games. It looks like someone grabbed a scene of this game through Fraps and then put it on Vita. Sorry to get any Monster Hunter fans' hopes up.

Can a game be more controversial than this one?

I think not!
