Looks like another Monster Hunter game is not going to see the West again with Capcom and Tencent working together on releasing Monster Hunter Online in China. It utilizes the technology of the CryEngine 3 so the graphics and animations are really beautiful. It will be released as a free-to-play MMO with a micro-transaction system to keep the game afloat. I can see why Capcom would be hesitant to try that in North America and even Europe considering the competition and the lower success rate that free-to-play MMOs have in the Western market.
From a gamers point of view, this would be really cool. Instead of going from one pocket of enemies to another in most MMORPGs, Monster Hunter Online would be all about one epic boss fight after another. We can only hope that Monster Hunter Online might get to see the light of day over in the West, but at least we got Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (if only the 3DS version had online play).

GameLight - Warface

I saw this post yesterday but didn't really have any interesting in checking it out. Not sure why, but I was curious and checked out the video of it today and was blown away:

Developed by Chinese game company Tencent, Warface utilizes the powerful Crytek engine with realistic physics, smooth animation, and incredible texture/lighting on the graphics. This video is still only in its Alpha phase and it looks incredible! The realism is captured by the detailed environments, perception blur, and I have to admit the physics is unrealistically hilarious. But wow, the game really stands out for me in just how it looks, which leads me to thinking how well it would do in the market. Not everyone has a powerful computer to support even the most basic settings of the CryEngine. I'm hoping that the sounds are just as good as the graphics because that was something that impressed me about Medal of Honor (2010): powerful sounding guns with directional sense. Since the game is only in Alpha and is being produced for a Korean audience (for now), I probably won't be able to see the game anytime soon. Hopefully I get a really nice tower that can handle it by then.
