Metal Wolf Chaos XD - Believe in your own Justice.

[c-no]

Metal Wolf Chaos is getting a modern day re-release next month. Soon we all can get the chance to play as the 47th President of America, Donald Trump Michael Wilson, as the President fights against his Vice President, Mike Pence Richard Hawk, who more or less usurped the President and took away all the American freedoms.

For some preface: From Software, known back then for King's Field and Armored Core before they got known for the Souls series, made Metal Wolf Chaos . MWC started off as an Xbox game released in 2004 as a Japan only title. Flash forward to to a decade later in 2016 where Devolver Digital is involved in getting the game re-released with From Software.

Here's some videos to start the conversation.

To all Kiwis from New York, do you guys remember the giant robot spider terrorizing the city that you guys ran and scream like it was Mardi Gras in New York?

One can pre-purchase a copy on Steam or GOG for the PC release. PS4 and Xbox One owners can also get their own copy as well but they'll have to look elsewhere.

This thread is not at all what I expected! I thought the "XD" was that stupid smiley. And Metal Wolf Chaos sounds like some furry stuff.

 

[A shitty ass clover]

[Sprig of Parsley]

Fuck yes, mechas and 'Murica.

Don't say that, you might give the furries an idea.

According to Wikipedia, the events after 9/11 killed off chances of localization.

Metal Wolf Chaos - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

FromSoftware had the intent for worldwide localization, with a targeted North American release for 2005 with competitive Xbox Live multiplayer modes,[2] and had gotten to the point of making available a secret playable demo of the Japanese version through a demo disc in issue 39 of Official Xbox Magazine.[3][11] FromSoftware did not comment immediately on the reason the localization was canceled. Journalist John Sczepaniak believed the game's American satire and themes of terrorism may have given publishers cold feet.[3]According to Zach Huntley of Kakehashi Games, the Japanese publisher working with Devolver Digital on the 2019 remaster, the game's long development period left its release near the end of the Xbox's lifecycle, and Microsoft was already shifting their focus to the Xbox 360.[12] In 2018, FromSoftware confirmed that the political climate following the attacks of September 11, 2001 led them to cancel localization.[13][5] Takeuchi had expressed some remorse for not being able to provide the promised worldwide release for the game.[5] Metal Wolf Chaos remained as part of a small selection of Japanese exclusives for the original Xbox system.[3]

They also had to ask for permission to use the Presidential Seal, but didn't know that, so what XD does is it uses a modified version of the Seal.

Optimistic as fuck here but hopefully this sells well and produces enough interest that FromSoft releases another fucking Armored Core game already.

Fuck yes, more giant goddamn robots please. Heavy Gear is dead, MechWarrior/Battletech is something I kind of wish would die a graceful death rather than what is happening, Front Mission is going nowhere fast and Armored Core has languished way too long.

 

[KingofNothing]

Great! I was waiting for this game to get a release date. Also shoutout to the now defunct Super Best Friends Play. Without them, this re-released wouldn't have happened

Spoiler: Also, do you fuckers know what else happened on August 6?

tfw the only Gundam game on Steam is fucking Gundam Breaker

 

[Murmur]

I just hung an american flag on the massive boner that trailer gave me.

 

[Billy_Sama]

I played it on the Xbox and glad its getting the worldwide release it deserves. Biggest blunder on the Xbox was the game being a Japanese only release.

 

[Irwin M. Felcher]

God bless Devolver Digital for knowing just when the time was right for this comeback.

 

[Clop]

I'd point out all the fucking reee-ing that's inevitably coming from the usual suspects of "gaming journalism" but I'm too busy having the biggest mech boner right now.

47th President, game had the tagline of "Mech America Great Again." All one needs is a sperg thinking this will somehow tie to Trump because of course, they think Trump needs to dragged into it because it's somehow important. That or some complaint about America that could be valid (or not) but isn't even related to a game that's meant to be over the top.

I wouldn't care if it was Trump himself in the cockpit, unlike gaming journos I possess a brain past five years old that knows the difference between fiction and reality. Gaming journos are triggered by anything that's edgier than Barney the Dinosaur.

 

[BrunoMattei]

I make you a bet that someone will mod Trump's face to replace Michael Wilson.

 

[Hatoful Dandy]

If there was ever a game that Michael Bay should adapt, it would be this one.
