I don't think Monster Hunter is big outside of Japan. Seeing as how Gametrailers is based in the US, I'm pretty sure they aren't too excited about Monster Hunter 3. You guys are giving Monster Hunter 3 way too much credit outside of Japan.

EDIT: Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd sold 1.75 million in Japan.

It's sold less than 500k in both the US and Others COMBINED.

Yet WKC manages to be on the list and most JRPGs are met with indifference in the US(the West in general actually).  Besides, maybe there isn't enough footage for GT to get excited about the game.

 



Wow GT are Sony fanboys...



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

I'll give you that.  I'll be honest that this does seem to be GT's way of making up with the PS3 fanboys.  Although, there has been some recent buzz about WKS that could have helped it claw it's way onto the list.

I still don't think MH3 is anywhere near anticipated enough outside of Japan to be on that list though.

I had a feeling those games on the list had something in common which would be that they are highly anticipated in the West.

but it doesn't deserve to be in front of

THE Frikkin Final Fantasy 13!

Yes it does.

I am surprised how Sony slanted this list is.  Especially considering GT has previously acted more like MS fanboys than Sony ones. 

As for MH3 not being on the list, it isn't really surprising.  The games aren't that popular in the west, and they gave MHF a 4.8 and MHF2 a 7.6.  So it isn't shocking that they'd ignore it.



Considering Nintendo does not attend TGS and Microsoft is American based, the list being PS3 heavy is not to surprising, but you think they would have included Monster Hunter 3 at least. Although I will admit that most of the Wii games being shown at TGS that I am excited for are not super AAA with huge development budgets.



"To love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long you shall be resurrected from death in the church"

Obviously, any list without Tatsunoko vs Capcom on it is severely biased and should be considered faulty.



i was still surprised when they showed final fantasy 13 it said ps3 AND xbox 360!
