E3 2005: Sega Delivers Chrome Hounds to Xbox 360

E3 isn't the only place where you'll find Xbox 360 news! The latest issue of Famitsu contains first word on Chrome Hounds, a new Xbox 360 title from Sega. A mech-based action game, Chrome Hounds is being developed by Japanese studio From Software, mech-master maker of the Armored Core series.

Chrome Hounds promises full-on mech action with Xbox Live Online play. You'll be able to team up with other players Online and head out to the battlefield. Sadly, while it's known that you'll have full control over your mech during the action, gameplay specifics haven't been revealed at this point.

We know one other thing about the title. Sure to please From Software fans, Chrome Hounds will allow for players to customize their mechs, adding parts in all areas, from cockpit to legs. Given the amount of customization offered in From's other titles, we expect to see some original mech creations Online.

From is promising a game whose visuals you won't be able to differentiate from pre-rendered CG. Let's hope we get a glimpse at E3.
