IGN's Juan Castro recently sat down with a member of Namco or XPEC (I don't really know for sure since Juan never bothered to mention it in his article) to blow the lid off everything we ever wanted to know about
Bounty Hounds.
"IGN: Now for something a little a different. What's one thing about Bounty Hounds you're certain that gamers don't know yet?
If you look at the game closely, you will find certain references to classic Namco games throughout the game. I know there are speculations that a couple of weapons from a famous Namco title are usable in the game; see if you can find some others."
And in the next response, the interviewee said members of the
Soul Calibur team are developing the game. So, using my super-awesome detective skills acquired from reading lots of
Encylopedia Brown, I can only assume we'll be wielding the
Soul Edge, Astaroth's
giant axe or possibly Kilik's
bo staff and other badass weapons found in
Soul Calibur. Pretty friggin' awesome.
In the game, players will be able to wield more than 500 distinct weapons and do battle against 40 unique alien races. Also, XPEC has developed a graphics engine specifically designed to maximize for viewing on the PSP, and players will be able to go back and view all in-game cutscenes when they travel back to the ship, the Quicksilver.
After reading the interview, I'm just all the more excited about getting my paws on
Bounty Hounds. There are so many
great games on the horizon; just hold out a little more, my fellow fanboys!

I was extremely excited to play Bounty Hounds, but when the demo was released and I finally got my hands on it, I must say I was a bit disappointed. You see, the camera was every bit as bad as previously reported. Unfortunately, most of the reviewers agreed with me, as the game didn't exactly get the kind of reviews many of us thought it would before playing it. However, I'm sure that didn't dissuade many of my fellow fanboys from picking it up, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
