    Sony will be bringing classic PlayStation Portable titles to PlayStation 3 as part of a new PSP Remaster lineup. The company announced the series today along with its first major release.

    PSP Remaster offers PSP titles remastered for play on the PS3. The games are spruced up with full HD visuals, compatibility with Dual Shock 3, PS3 exclusive content, 3D support, and other features.

    The PSP and PS3 versions of the game also share save data. Sony says that this could allow you to play a game on the PSP while on the go, then continue playing when you return home.

    The PS3 versions are also compatible with Sony's Ad Hoc Party for PlayStation Portable service for network play. This free PS3 app normally allows local play PSP titles to use the PS3 as a proxy for true online play.

    The series will kick off first in Japan through sales of Blu-ray Disc titles, Sony said. The wording of Sony's statement suggests that the series will also be released internationally and will also see some games offered in download form. The press release did not explicitly mention these areas, though.

    For the series' first title, Sony has a biggie. As detailed earlier today, Capcom will release a PS3 version of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd under the name Monster Hunter Portable HD. The 4.5 million selling PSP title will feature 3D support, HD visuals and shared save files with the PSP, and will see release this summer.

    Bear in mind that only Sony Japan have announced this but it may well lead to some titles coming back to Europe and the US in an effort to increase sales in the PSP-meh regions. It's likely that E3 will be the platform to announce this to the rest of the world (just speculating).

    Some HD Peace Walker seems a logical choice. I look forward to playing it on a non-rage inducing controller ;)

    Was there God of War Portable collection announced/rumoured? That would be a no-brainer for the US.

    Well this is good news for me since the PSP gives me terrible hand cramp.

    Announced officially by Sony Taiwan apparently.

    Everyone else probably prepared to wait until E3.

    I really hope they don't fill E3 with PSP remake annoucements though; unless Sega decides to announce Valkryia Chronicles 4 for PS3, with an inital release of Valkryia 2+3 as primers. /doubtful

    NGP is more likely to take the stage, don't you think?

    They've really given up with the PSP, huh? For me, Monster Hunter is a game that needs a lot of communication, the handheld versions have always been better than the console ones and it's just better suited to playing with someone in the same room.

    Hopefully we see this released for the NGP too.

    Oh yes! (completely forgot about it :/) - NGP cross compatibility with PS2/PSP HD remakes would be a killer!

    I'll get that in a heartbeat. But if they made a proper HD Monster Hunter, I might as well just give up trying to achieve anything in the real world for a while.

    The Dream: A Monster Hunter game on a console I'll actually play it on.

    MGS Peace Walker FINALLY playable. I gave up around the point the blond girl got kidnapped. Time to finally play it to completion!

    Depends on how much you're willing to put up with actually using the PSP, my tolerance is quite low.

    I would love a PSP emulator built into the PS3 in future firmware, but that feels like something that might only materialise when Sony have given up on PSP hardware sales... at the moment a game like Monster Hunter can make a bajillion PSPs leap of the shelves in Japan, where the handheld market is huge.

    Which makes it an odd choice to make the MHP3rd compatible with PS3 as well. Perhaps they're looking to get more PSP users to invest in both platforms.

    Capcom have been desperate to make Monster Hunter a worldwide game but MH Tri aside, it's not really taken off like it should - partly because the PSP doesn't sell well enough in the west (and the lack of proper online play in the PSP games).

    So if Sony are doing this, it's probably right for Capcom to try this approach instead, given that most people who want to play Monster Hunter have been begging for a PS3 version since the first portable game.

    Well, we are begging to play Monster Hunter if they'd just make a proper HD console version of it we'd fucking snap it up.

    Please do this with Lunar Silver Star Harmony. It would look great in HD, but might get rid of the terrible load times.

    It'll never happen but its a nice thought..

    Monster Hunter please Sony for the love of god, for everywhere, not just Japan.

    I like it when he's angry.

    The load times never got to me in Lunar - it was the breaks in the music while transitioning between screens -_-

    I think it would be wise for Capcom to consider giving Monster Hunter HD proper online support in the west.

    Ridge Racer 2 or Initial D Street Stage would put a big cheeser on my face. Online play for both would be a bonus.

    Both of the PSP Syphon filter games would be welcome, and hopefully open the way for a fully fledged PS3 version.

    Seems an odd decision - surely even adding 10 or so trophies like in some PSN titles wouldn't be too difficult?
