Hangame (

http://www.nhncorp.com/).
The publishers of some of the best Korean games in the market, has revealed 7 new upcoming MMOs of different genre, in a Press conference dubbed "Hangame Extreme 2010".
The genre of the games includes, FPS, RPG, 2D Sidescroller, Action, Sport and Macintosh games.
There are 2 games that are in the Main Spotlight, while the rest were rather minor presented.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPOTLIGHT
"
Metro Conflict" created by "Red Duck", the makers of award winning "
A.V.A : Alliance of Valiant Arms" MMOFPS game.
Comes their next FPS game, created using the Unreal 3 Engine.
Set in the near modern-future, where there will be "some" futuristic weapons and functions in the game, like Bullet Time, direct missile controls, drone control etc. etc.
Heck it's pretty much like Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company
The game looks very promising, and I can't wait to play!~
"Close & Open Beta" will be held later this year 2010, with "Release Service" next year 2011.

"
Project E:st(East)" is another upcoming game in the spotlight, from the makers of "
Rohan Online" a rather successful MMORPG in the market.
This new MMORPG feels very graphically eye catching, and uses Crytek's "CryEngine 2".
Not much Information has been revealed, thou from the trailer it looks like it will be Asian + Fantasy themed mixed, or "Oriental Fantasy".
Some reason this reminds me abit of WoW mix with something like Prefect World
"Close & Open Beta" will be held later this year 2010, with "Release Service" next year 2011.

Now next is also another long awaited game, 2D Action Sidescroller "
Granage", filled with fantasy RPG themed stuff, fast paced combo and juggle system etc. etc.
Don't be fooled just cause it looks like Maple Story.
2nd Close Beta begins in "April 2010", after that straight to "Open Beta status".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is a rather interesting game called "
Fishing Hero", like it's named suggests, It's a Fishing Sports game.
The most realistic fishing game to-date, it uses REAL Satellite Imagining Data for maps and locations, has things like aquarium, REAL boat driving challenges, scuba diving etc. etc..
And lots more of realistic things to make it seen like your really fishing, such as complicated(yet enjoyable) action sequences on the fishing rod, not just traditional point and click to get the fish.
Close Beta is set to be on "2nd half of April 2010".
Trailer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interestingly this next game called "
Lost : Legends of the Sky Temple", is a Next-Gen Macintosh MMO game.
It sets after "Romance of the Three King", either the 3D MMORPG or the book, I'm not sure which it is...
It has stuff like RvR (Realm vs Realm), the usual RTS and even a Replay mode.
Unfortunately "Close Beta 1" is already underway, no news of CB2.
Trailer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And lastly the last game, which is also a Macintosh MMO called "
Buy City Online". Game is kinda like "Sim City", where you can build and customize a lot of things around your city.
Thou is it set in the real Korea, you play the Korean Cities, which every building, land, construction material etc. etc. are all based on the real prices in Korea right now.
The prices will auto adjust to whatever real life price it is in Korean, which can make things interesting and annoying at the same time, which isn't my cup of tea...
The game is already out on "Full Release".
