It's probably a bit late, but many months ago, they talked about 3G again, this time changing the ETA to Summer 2012. They made a brief complaint about it not being localised yet, but said very little else, so this still doesn't confirm a release.
If you're interested, they discussed the returning weapons, stating that they particularly like the gunlance. They identified the dual swords as a purely aggressive weapon and described the bow and hunting horn as support-based weapons. They've also mentioned something about a new blast element, which apparently blows things up. Sounds fun!
As well as the weapons, they talked about additional monsters. Apparently, 3G has a total of 50 large monsters, which, I think, includes subspecies as different monsters. They mentioned a variety of subspecies, including the white lagiacrus, the hungry deviljho, the dark jinouga, etc. They claim that bracchidios is the most inventive and only entirely new monster. Hmmm...
