Mechs stomp all over the Xbox 360



SEGA have announced Chromehounds for the Xbox 360. This squad-based action title puts gamers in control of giant mechanized military weapons of war. With a strong focus on cooperative and competitive online gameplay, SEGA are claiming the game will satisfy players looking for a deep, involving Xbox Live experience.





Developed by Tokyo-based FROM software, SEGA is claiming Chromehounds will an intense, photo realistic look at war from the cockpits of colossal metal vehicles. These heavily-armed weapons of war, called Hounds, dominate ground battles during warfare in the near-future. Squads of Hounds take to the field in international factions; cooperating with and complementing each other in terms of firepower, range of movement, and abilities.





Domination of the world is the prize for the mightiest army on the field. Strategic planning, snap reflexes and communication are key to winning the day in this battle-hardened action title. Players will take the role of either a Squad Member or a Tactics Commander, who is responsible for strategically guiding the team to victory with verbal commands on Xbox Live.





Chromehounds Features photo realistic visuals bringing the game's gritty, war-torn environments to life. Strategic gameplay will put the player in the role of 'tactics commander' so you can manage your squad while testing your reflexes on the battlefield. Xbox LIVE support offers cooperative and competitive campaigns for up to 12 players at once and full customisation options present users with thousands of different ways to equip and personalize their mechs





Chromehounds is set for release in Spring 2006

Looks interesting and its by FROM Software so it should be good. Although i wish Sega would bring out another version of Virtual-on, still the best Mecha game i've played. Although Steel Battalion is a very close second just for the wow factor.
Would like to see some actual screenshots though. No one is swayed by FMVs these days
This is the second set of screen shots I have seen on this. This looks to beat steel battalion for hot salty mech on mech action. I really have to pick up a copy for our rec room.
