"Sega pulls the plug on FROM Software's sublime online Mech war after 3 and a half years
The first time I played the Chromehounds demo, I was resolute that it would never enter my collection
Sega / FROM Software's Mech shooter seemed to be a bit sparse on the action, tore like buggery and felt like an insult to games like Mechwarrior 2, games that did mech warfare properly.
Like a lot of reviewers who did the game a serious disservice by not even bothering to take the game online, let alone sink enough hours into it to come up with a measured and proper response to its deep persistent-war driven gameplay, I was incredibly wrong about Chromehounds and once word started to get round amongst those Xbox 360 Gamers who took the plunge and bought it, Chromehounds became an essential purchase."

One of Xbox 360's best mech games is coming back.
The original Chromehounds was amazing and hands-down one of the best exclusive games for the Xbox 360. I really hope a sequel is being made.
Phil actually said they would go back to work on older xbx exclusiv ips and even though ill be happy to see fromsoftware and Ms work on a sequel to chromehounds, i'd be even happier if they worked on a sequel to Otogi or better still do both.
Chomehounds was so ahead of it's time, a new one utilizing the new XBL tech would make so much sense and would potentially be an awesome game.
Don't get your hopes up, i did when i found this on Reddit, then the date was Calculated as ending on April 1st, April Fools day, its a hoax
GameInformer: "I almost feel guilty about choosing Chromehounds for my Time Sink feature. By the time you're done reading this you'll want to go jump in a giant, lumbering mech yourself. The only problem is, you can't."
One of my most fav games of this Gen. Me und my friends still talk about this game from time to time.
