At first announced on Xbox, then canceled, then finally announced for 360, Chromehounds has a rather long history now. Well it's now finally available in Japan and Europe, and even if my full impressions will have to wait until I've played the game a bit more, here are the first 10 minutes of the game, showing a CG cutscene and the full totorial level. More videos in the next few days. The game runs at 60 fps, so do the videos. A powerful PC is required for the 720p version!

2006-06-29 09:07:22 New Chromehound High Res video (looking good)
http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/665/665181/vids...
This is looking pretty damn good imagine it on a large hdtv? Awesome stuff.
Roadfight, Tank annihilation and missile rain all look pretty good. You notice some slowdowns on some of the splash effects, but it seems as if doesn't actually affect your movement speed only the explosion itself.
The mech detail is pretty much perfect.

The demo came out in Asia. Everybody and their mother is using a Japanese account, but I don't read, speak, or Haiku Japanese! I'm hoping a US demo gets released soon. The recent stuff they've shown of this game makes me want it. In that hillside video, it really made it seem like a war, not just robots shooting at each other. And when that main robot shot that crab-like robot's weakpoint for massive damage, it reminded me why I like robots :).

From the sound of things everyone is saying the game runs at a very solid 60fps.

You don't need a Japanese account for this. You can get it in XBOX Singapore. It's easier to register there.
