Now we are fucking talking. Figures that the first real Hd Monster Hunter wouldn't even be developed by capcom.
It's sad that we can't even be sure of Wii U versions at this point.
It's probably only a matter of time before they run this franchise into the ground like they did with Resident Evil.
Don't you say that. Capgods (yes I said that) can't ruin 2 franchises, Ace Attorney, and Monster Hunter. The reason being is that they are very Japanese-centric, so they won't do any of that appeal to the west nonsense they keep on doing with the other franchises.
Well, the biggest thing that was missing from the handheld games has been online play, and with MH4 getting online play, the necessity of a console version starts disappearing. Not that I would want it to, since MH is very much a console series for me personally, but that's how I see it.
All of Capcom's franchises come crashing down eventually*. There will be a tomorrow where Monster Hunter is today's Mega Man.
* and still sell millions in the case of RE

These MMOs are generally on the PC only, and generally in China only.
While it's possible that the Monster Hunter brand and Capcom involvement might make this an exception, it being called an "officially licensed product" feels like it's fire and forget from Capcom and up to Tencent. In which case, I wouldn't hold my breath for a localisation.
NEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR.
As someone who has never played a Monster Hunter game but is terribly interested, I'm down to fake some IP's and play on chinese servers.
This is awesome news. Hopefully Tencent considers launching the game outside of China.
The updated graphics are beautiful with MH's art direction.
The level of detail in the environments and lighting will make hunting a visceral and more intuitive experience.
Adding in vehicular combat is especially going to make water combat better.
I'm not a fan of how damage is being applied in the video but the 4chan translation says they are going to release the game with more accurate damage details.
With Cryengine's capabilities and the average size of the monsters they could attempt making a game that is hudless.
I'm surprised they are going with the Cryengine instead of Unreal.

It is honestly a little bit sad that this looks way better graphically than any of Capcom's versions. This is what MH should have looked like after 2. I am actually wanting to play this, but since this is one of those "Online" ones, guess I am shit outta luck. Oh well.

Doesn't look like Cryengine...

If you are that interested you could just get one of the existing titles for PS2/PSP/Wii/WiiU/3DS. The core-gameplay hasn't changed over time.

We should start calling these "MINO," but I guess that's a little unfair. Will wait until I can actually give it a shot before I totally deride... if it even leaves China.

Is this coming to the west? Would love to try this out.

I would play this if it were to come to the west.
I was thinking the same thing but it is an online game. They aren't going to exploit a lot of features seen in demonstration videos.

Really? I think it absolutely has a distinct Cryengine look, in the environments and particularly the fire effects. I mean, a Chinese MMO won't be pushing Cryengine 3 to its limit, but you know.
The barrier previously being that you didn't own a PS2, PSP, PS3, Wii, 3DS or WiiU, I assume? You could be playing Monster Hunter Frontier right now!

I'm fairly confident in saying this wouldn't sell more than 3 Ultimate if it were to come to the west.

CryEngine 3? So will my monster hunter be equipped with a nanosuit to fight in a post-apocalyptic New York City?
I'm hearing that a lot of the fun of the game is in the online modes and multiplayer, that's why I got really excited about this announcement.

The giant red slashes really look bad. I don't know if that is suppose to be blood or what. Everything else looks like what you expect. Whoever made the trailer though needs to learn how to sell the game, was boring.
I'm not certain if I am really liking those screenshots. It seems technically more powerful, but lacks some of the charm and character of the 3DS game. I guess I need to wait to see this in motion before I can pass judgement. Animations are where a lot of the character of the series comes through.

You really want this crappy outsourced game?

Outsourcing development?
Color me skeptical. (That this will be successful.) Why couldn't Capcom have done it themselves? Monhun seems kind of like an important property to just outsource like that.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. Not to be too nit picking here, but I'm not wild about some of those sound effects.
