VengefulTorture: "Being a long time MH vet (since the very first game), I’ve been closely paying attention to everything the series has developed from and into. Upon learning that Capcom allowed Tencent to take over for bringing MH to China in a new and big way, I was instantly thrilled. Bringing some fresh ideas and concepts to the franchise could really set things off in a good way. I never thought I’d be able to experience this, as MH has a hard time taking off in the states; but luckily I have been able to and I’m now able to share my experience with you. At first, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to write a solid review for the MHO beta – after all I tend to be a little bias towards MH games. However, after playing over 40 hours of the beta, I can safely say – I was right. I cannot write a non-bias, fair and informative review for the MHO beta. There are viewpoints I have that I know I share with many MH vets, as well as expectations that need to be met in order for me to really get 100% into the game. Therefore, I felt in order to truly provide what you need, as a reader and potential consumer, newcomer or vet, I would need to write two reviews.
The first review will be from a Monster Hunter veteran stand point. It will assume you have played at least one of the many games and have a better than general understanding for how the game works. Terms will get thrown out that you should know, as well as comparisons that may be bias to how I personally feel the game has developed and how it should be presented to stay true to its nature. The second review will be a fresher, calmer and more well-rounded review to target an audience that has never played Monster Hunter before."
AMD has announced that it has partnered with Tencent Games in order to visually enhance Monster Hunter Online, as well as bring a number of performance optimizations to it.
Monster Hunter Online recently launched in China under the watchful eyes of partners Tencent Games and Capcom. The game’s producer, Mr Tao from Tencent, gave an interview where he stated the co-operation with Capcom does not stop at Monster Hunter Online, listing out series such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Dino Crisis, and Sengoku Basara as examples.
Tencent have announced that players are now able to download the pre-client for the upcoming Open Beta of the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Online. The client is now ready to download on the official website ahead of the official release for the Open Beta event which is scheduled to arrive on December 17th.
It will probably take 10 days to download and just as long to learn to navigate the character creation screen but hell, I can't wait :D
Wonder if it'll develop a following in the states? I know there are some PSO2 fans stateside.
Very cool. Thank you. Going to be giving this a try. Love MH, hopefully they didn't dumb down or ease what were used to for broader appeal.
My internet is pretty decent and I'm currently at 3% after 4 hours. If you're looking to jump in on launch day, get that download going :D
