A Closer Look at Bounty Hounds |
Ó
In a nutshell, this is the plot of the upcoming game from Namco, Bounty Hounds. Set in the 24th century, you step in the shoes of Maximillian the mercenary. See, humans "have expanded beyond Earth to colonize other planets." Thing is, those "other planets" already have alien inhabitants. So the solution? Obliterate all hostile alien life-forms, or Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI), to be exact. As a mercenary, you're going to be the one who has to do all the alien-killing.
In this PSP game, there are about 500 weapons, with various armors to be placed on five different body parts, with four attributes (Heat, Plasma, Bio and Laser) that you could equip your weapons with, and various types of alien enemies that have different attack patterns (some may be the close-range types, while other lug long-range ammo with them).
What makes this game unique is that it was specifically designed for a handheld console, not just a version of other console games made to fit a portable. To ensure this, the developers made a graphics engine "that is optimized for viewing in portable console screens." Players also get to see in-game cut scenes whenever they're aboard the mother ship, Quicksilver, so that they won't lose track of the game's story.
It also features two different multiplayer modes. One is called Game Sharing, where players could download snippets of the game from the net and play against each other. On the other hand, players who have a copy of the game disc could play against each other by hooking up their PSPs.
Players should expect lots of action, smooth controls and various references to previous Namco games. It is scheduled to be released by the end of the year, so you might want to check it out.

great looks good
Am I the only guy playing this right now? What do they mean out by the end of the year?
Funny... it doesn't come out until September 12th. Share your time machine.
The Chinese one is already out. Maybe parranoya found it in the net ¬¬
chinese version import! great game. smooth all around.
this games sweet its like phantasy star online mixed with dynasty warriors kinda
i also got the chinese import its a sweet game it sorta has a feel of dynasty warriors and PSO. would be better if they had online play
i was hoping for alien hunter freedom
Both on bittorent
is it just me or is it just like monster hunter, with that same *****ty camera , great graphics and i wish i could get into it but the camera just makes it so tiresome and not being able to actually get a good view of my enemies blows,, why not just have the camera swing with the shoulder buttons and redirect the change weapons button ? i really don't understand some developers
