I'm so glad I found this subreddit. Was just talking to someone about the good times we used to have in this game back when it was still live, and how cool it would be to have access to the models of the mechs for something like 3D printing.Really wish FromSoftware would just port this to XBONE and reopen the servers. Maybe we should start one of those Change (dot) org petitions or something? Get FromSoftware and Sega's attention to the still dedicated fanbase, as small as we are.
Mech games are becoming popular again, and therefore more relevant. Hell the fact that people are still talking about this game 13 years later is a testament to it's design.Perhaps, some savvy individuals could follow in the footsteps of the Clementine Team and reboot this game with a dedicated private server, as they did with Phantasy Star Online? Just a though. I know MAV already exists but it's a spiritual successor (a good one at that), but it's still not ChromeHOUNDs.
Thursday 15 June 2006It's almost 3am and you know you ought to get some sleep, but if you can just find a way to shed some more tonnage from your colossal steel monster, there might be some room to strap a fourth or fifth machine gun on there.Tweaking the variety of cannon ammunition to a lighter grade, sacrificing some firepower for weight loss, grants you the few precious pounds you need to add that final weapon. Now you really should go to bed, but you have to test your giant robot out in the proving grounds first. You just have to.This is the kind of situation you're sure to find yourself grappling with if you get a chance to monkey around with the brutally deep, mech-crafting tools in Chromehounds. It's an old equation: the more engrossing the game is, the less sleep/socialising/dinner you're going to get. And Chromehounds seems to be one of those games that devours your entire life if you're into giant robots.Granted, for many people, that's a big 'if' and the average gamer may gloss over the incredibly nuanced, remarkably complicated robot creation tools in order to get right into the mech-fragging.But those with a passion for steel goliath-building will be more than satisfied with both the expansive menu of shell throwers and the variety of customisable skins you can slap over your hound to make it distinctive to you alone. Sega isn't joking when it says that hounds are like snowflakes with no two exactly alike - as you build your metal monstrosity, each part bolts on in a variety of ways.
