• While for the America and Europe version it will be much later as it's targeted around Jan to March of 2019 so mga kabayan abroad will have to wait a bit longer

Monster Hunter Live Movie

• A new live-action adaptation of Monster Hunter has been confirmed
• The film production will start on September and will star Milla Jovovich
• If you remember Milla Jovovich also starred in the previous Ccapcom movie franchise Resident Evil
• The Monster Hunter movie will have a 60 million USD budget and is being filmed in South Africa

• According to the report, this will not be a single Monster Hunter film but is envisioned as series
• So like Avengers
• There is currently no release date on when its expected to hit the theaters
• Also according to the reports, the Resident Evil movie is being rebooted hopefully to a more conventional horror rather than an action flick

Steam Link

• Valve Software will release the new steam link app for Android, iOS devices, and even tvOS
• this app will allow PC gamers steam library to be played directly via smartphones making everything basically mobile
• The app is scheduled to launch at the end of the month during the week of May 21st, with Android support initially offered in beta.
• What the steam link app does is basically stream your steam library games to your mobile so meaning you will need a fast 5ghz wifi or wired internet connection
• otherwise, you will notice major input lag making it impossible to play fps games
• Steam says you can use the Steam Controller, MFI-compatible iOS controllers and more
• the company hasn't stated if touch devices, Bluetooth or even a ps4 controller if it would work
• Also steam is planning to launch a Steam Video app for iOS and Android which is similar to YouTube red or Netflix
• this is aimed at streaming movies and shows on Steam

Black Ops 4 Battle Royale

• The rumors are true: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a Battle Royale mode.
• The mode will include land, sea and air vehicles on a huge map and will span multiple games and heroes, from across Black Ops and Zombies.
• The mode is called 'Blackout' and it replaces the single-player campaign as one of the "three pillars" of Black Ops.
• The mode will pull characters and locations from previous games in the subseries
• Treyarch hasn't mentioned how many players are going to be in the last man standing mode although they mentioned that the map will be 1500 bigger than nuketown
• They also mentioned that pc players will get dedicated servers with uncapped frame rates
• Treyarch also stated that they will do the battle royal mode in a Call of Duty style so it's unsure if they are going to use hitscan or projectile bullets
• since a majority of the weapons in Call of Duty are hitscan based
• what do you think?
• the PC version of Black Ops 4 will follow in the footsteps of Destiny 2 and utilize Blizzard’s Battle.net online infrastructure
• which means it will be on blizzards BbattleNet pc client, if you check right now you can see black ops ready for pre-order
• On the downside, Black Ops 4 won't get a single player campaign which is weird since Black Ops is known for its good story missions
• Black Ops 4 is launching on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12th.
