Blaine Smith of XMMORPG Writes:
I've spent day after day exploring the world of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U so you can imagine my excitement when I heard of another Monster Hunter MMO. The original game failed to make it to the West and despite my best efforts to follow a guide, the language barrier proved far too much for my meager mind to handle. I was a little bitter that I was unable to enjoy the Monster Hunter Online experience but yet again I've allowed myself to get excited, despite the fact there hasn't been any official Western confirmation for the latest addition to the franchise.
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.
A certain Powder-Stone quest comes too mind...
