Warhound might not have a publisher, but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the most interesting shooters 1UP has seen at Games Convention 2007. How many shooters properly incorporate a Gears of War-style cover system into a first-person perspective, or allow you to set up dual grappling hooks to produce a tightrope, giving players the chance to sit, wait and stealth kill from above? That's what makes Warhound a mercenary-for-hire shooter all it's own, even if it's a little rough around the edges on the tech side.
So far, there's no real story to Warhound. As already mentioned, you play a mercenary trying to work your way from the bottom of the food chain to the top. In order to do that, you need to manage resources, earn new licenses (i.e. perform tasks of accuracy) that unlock additional weapons and gadget options and work through sandbox-style missions that encourage you to approach them with varying strategies.
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.
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."
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.
In 19 days, it'll be two years since Joystiq last heard anything about Call of Juarez developer Techland's "open ended FPS," Warhound. So, when they heard last week that the developer was still working on its zombie-infused Dead Island, they shot Techland an email and asked about the game once intended to rival Crysis' graphics.
Looks like vaporware to me(Warhound).It might as well be in the same page as Duke Nukem Forever or Wardevil.
Dead Island is a good concept and they really need to avoid screwing that up
God I hope not, after playing and loving both Call of juarez games, I really want them to succeed and for these games to come out. They develop some pretty impressive tech and the games have personality something missing on other big name shooters like haze or killzone 2.
anywayz, freaking M$, its like every week is good & surprising news!!! I searched this studios and they have another game which is a FPP called Dead Island and through that I found Tri-Ace is make an Action RPG called Infinite Undicovery exclusive for the 360, and not only that I found out that the cancelled game back in 04 called BC by Lionhead Studios is the game code name "The Dimmtri Project",obviously.
This game is gonna rock!!!
