Who owns chromehounds

I had to post on this even though this video is ancient. I am one of the few people I know who actually played Chromehounds back in its day. It had it all. Guns, mechs, factions, an economy, hell it even had a hint of politics. I made sure to vote in damn near every election I could. Seeing as how depending on who you elected could change how much you had to pay in taxes at the end of a match it was a smart decision.

You would be taxed on things such as how many bullets you fired The cost of ammunition or how much damage you took The cost of repairs.

And would be rewarded if the match went well. The amount of customization was damn near limitless. Want a giant quad-peddle mech that lobs mortars on the enemy team? Do it. Want to speed past them on a mech on wheels and attack their base? FIne, do that as well. Just make sure you dont put to much weight on those wheels, as each weapon has its own weight, and then you can customize it even further with what type of ammo you want. Even the ammo is weighed dependent on your loadout.

Want a bi-peddle mech like something out of a Japanese anime? DO IT! Hell do it and put 3 shotguns on one arm, a couple of missile launchers on the other, and a mortar on your head! If you can imagine it you can probably build it, and thats where Chromehounds shined. As he said the online component was unparallelled. First you would choose the faction you would fight for as pretty much a mercenary, then you would build your mech from parts either purchased off of the store that are owned by your faction, or be put in a lottery for an acquired piece of enemy equipment And lets not forget about all the parts available to you in the single player campaign.

You would then go to war in disputed territory to push the enemy out and take control. The more territory you controlled, the better the war was going for you. And if you were not a fan of fighting other players they had computer controlled enemies that you could wage war with, even within the multiplayer itself.

So it allowed those who were not so hot at multiplayer the opportunity to feel like they are doing their part as well in the war.

And when the war was over, it would reset and start all over again. Depending on your playstyle you could receive medals that were for the most part all achievements.

Ranging from attacking the enemy first times to finishing a match with zero bloodshed 50 times. Since there are so many different medals with so many different requirements it was like you were progressing towards several different medals no matter what your playstyle.

And it felt truly rewarding to show off your medals to your Chromehound friends, no matter how few and far between they actually were. I myself have fought in countless wars and if it was not for the servers being shut down, would continue to fight the good fight. And that saddens me to my very core. I needed to post this because Angry Joe is one of the only people I have ever seen appreciate this diamond encrusted jewel of a game, and that makes me very happy.

To know that out of the many wars I may have fought…I wasnt alone. Well stated man i feel the same way i only got to play the online part for 3 weeks it was so kick ass.

Once you understood the control and the combat, you started having a lot of fun, and better still, the online component made this game really last. Admittedly, I need a story with my online, otherwise I tend to loose interested, but in this instance I just made my own and ran with it. At the time I only had two friends that really played it at all, and I think for their birthdays I ended up getting them copies of it just to have folk to play with, but once they were in it They, like I, were hard core Mechwarrior and Heavy Gear players they loved it.

Being only three, we ended up doing a little kill team set of tactics. You make a mech to exploit your friend. Then next time he makes a variant to exploit what u made. Game Review. Chromehounds Retro Review. Will You Buy It? Yes No. Final Verdict? What you'll like What you'll Hate Arklite said:.

I still have 1-R, great series and such an attention to detail to the sizing, movement and attacks of each mech. Hopefully Daemon X does well and encourages them to jump back into AC. We're about due for a really great mecha game right now. Still holding on that we get a simulation style Gundam game I can dream. I loved Eureka Seven mecha in A. Wish From could do the whole game for E7.

Armored Core will be a dream come true for me.

I only played the PS1 titles but man do I love those games. I also want a mech space battle with perpetual flight not just ground battles. Gundam Battle Operation seems cool but its a tad too slow. I want a faster arcadey feeling game. DXM seems cool and has the potential to go full anime with the movements and attacks.

Getting this one for sure. Distantmantra Member. Oct 26, 6, Seattle. Gundam Unicorn was brilliant on the PS3, seems like it was seriously ignored by most people. Korigama Member. Oct 25, 13, That earlier talk of Mariya Takeuchi just makes me want a city pop-themed mecha game now.

Distantmantra said:. Ishaan Member. He makes a really good point, and I think his assessment of the situation is accurate. Sort of like Thor's hammer Xenoblade Chronicles X struck a really good balance between the Western and Japanese approaches. The mechs in that game are tools at the end of the day, but because you're allowed to customize them to such a great degree, they almost start to feel like your race car.

Something you're attached to and care for, and perform tune-ups etc. Prolepro Ghostwire: BooShock Banned. Nov 6, 7, Oct 25, 3, It was overall an EPIC feeling game, which had it's life cut short, just as the community started to actually enjoy and understand it.

I did play it almost Daily, as did my clan mates, for the entirety of it's life. One day, Microsoft will realize that this is what it needs in its corner Now is their chance to scoop it up. User Info: DarkReign Chromehounds represents the pinnacle of FromSoftware as a company.

Nothing they've done since has come close to the greatness that was Chromehounds and I really hope we see a sequel or even just a clone someday. I'd love to see Microsoft obtain the license and put one of their teams on it. Coalition would be a great team to work on a technical Mech series like this if we could get them away from Gears for a bit.
