TVGB: "There's been quite a bit of chit, and chat, around the water cooler in the last week or so about Techland's future offerings now that Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been tagged and released. Dead Island, the game that mixes palm trees, crystal clear waters and zombies, was the first to get inquired about. Thankfully that one is still being worked on, and has even found a publisher. But there's been no word on their other two titles that were announced many years ago but haven't been talked about in quite a while - Warhound, an open-ended first-person shooter, and Chrome 2, the sequel to 2003's sci-fi shooter. We got in touch with Techland to see what was up with these titles and walked away with both good and not so good news."
Techland's futuristic shooter is, apparently, not dead at all. After four years of absence new screenshots have surfaced to prove the title is still very much alive.
It was that good? I never got around to playing it, but if it was like Crysis then I may go back and try it out, Crysis was really fun.
it had its ups and downs compared to crysis but it's still the closest thing to it
- the levels were more open ended and you could choose your inventory and one of two drop of points before each mission
- more focus on vechicles (including mechs)
- more super powers
- inventory system
it was a pretty good yet underrated game
Yea, Chrome was so much fun, I remember this game. Jungle levels were great with snipers.
Those are some beautiful screens!
I am so excited! I am buying my new gaming PC in two days :D
Swiss gaming magazine GBase asked Techland what happened to the military shooter Warhound which was announced a few years ago. They've learned that the project is on ice right now but maybe in the future Techland will continue to work on it.
I'm with you Shifty. I've been waiting for Dead Island, Chrome 2 and Warhound for literally years. I enjoyed/was happy to support Juarez Bound in Blood and I remember reading an article that it sold pretty well overall yet Techland still hasn't said or done anything since.
Why would they work on any other game? Dead Island and Warhound are both promising new shooters that have the potential to have sequels. Chrome 2 is already a sequel to an established series, (Chrome was solid for its time, SpecForce was excellent) so if they iced Warhound and Dead Island it better for that. Anything else would be a MISTAKE.
Developer Techland just revealed a new racing game but players wondered what happened to Chrome 2, the sequel to the well known first person shooter. The answer is: It's on hold. Techland confirmed this to swiss gaming site GBase.ch.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SpecForce was extremely legitimate, I couldn't wait for the next Chrome and this has been "in development" for years. (Duke Nukem Forever Syndrome) The worst part is this would've been on Techland's new engine so it would've looked amazing. I love throwback PC exclusive FPSs from PC developers. WHY ARE THEY CANCELLING IT!? For a f#**ing racing game? ARE YOU F**#ING KIDDING ME?!
whoever disagreed with this comment needs to go !uck themselves. racing games over classic throwback PC games?! go play DIRT 1 and 2, or sit tight for GT5. jesus, what the !uck is wrong with people.
I'm quite impressed by techland and their chrome engine. COJ:BiB is a really good looking game at times and I can't wait to see what dead-island and hopefully warhound look like.
