Interview with Takeuchi Masanori and Ogura Yasunori of From Software regarding Metal Wolf Chaos XD.
Because... America – f*ck yeah!
I don't remember if you save the world in that game but Urban Chaos: Riot Response was one of the most american games back in the day, I've never even been to the country and that game was still rad.
The recent release of Metal Wolf Chaos XD was quite a treat. It was something fans of From Software weren't expecting. It was a total throwback. And it was a cool look back at the studio's quirky past. More so than that, though, the re-release was an opportunity for both existing fans and folks who'd never played it to revisit a piece of From Software history.
Exophase: "Video games are fun. Let’s remember that for just a sec. Back in 2004, Xbox owners in Japan were treated to a From Software game that’s nothing like what you would expect from the studio these days. Metal Wolf Chaos was fast, over-the-top, and hilarious. It’s since been enjoyed by larger audiences thanks to importing and YouTube playthroughs. And now, we have Metal Wolf Chaos XD, a re-release of the game for consoles and PC published by Devolver Digital. It’s fun. It’s so damn fun."
Quite excited to see something different from these guys
