Metal Wolf Chaos is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by FromSoftware. It was released for the Xbox exclusively in Japan in 2004. The player takes on the role of fictional President of the United States Michael Wilson, piloting a mech to battle the rebelling military led by fictional Vice President Richard Hawk. Wilson's mech can be equipped with up to eight weapons selected from a set of over a hundred. In each mission, the player battles through destructible environments, destroying everything and everyone.

There is a pre-order bonus, but it is a skin. Let's see what the Xbox release got.
From the Soundtrack CD THE PRESIDENT SPIRIT. This soundtrack was only available to those who pre-ordered the game in Japan.

The pre-order bonus we are getting.



What is the story around Presidential robots fighting each other?
The country is in peril as President Michael Wilson defends the nation against a full-scale rebellion led by Vice-President Richard Hawk and the mechanized legions he commands. As the 47th President of the United States, it is your sworn duty to take your country back by any means necessary and end this unjust coup d'etat! Battle in your advanced mech - armed to the teeth - across iconic American landscapes including the Brooklyn Bridge, the Grand Canyon, and the front steps of the White House.


What does this port bring to the Western world?
FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively on the original Xbox and only in Japan. The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan with most fans experience of the game through YouTube videos and the occasional screenshot. Devolver Digital and FromSoftware have partnered together with developer General Arcade to modernize Metal Wolf Chaos with updates to the game including upgraded visual fidelity, refined controls and gameplay, a new save system, capped at 30fps, and 4K + 16:9 support for modern displays.

When people were softmodding their Xboxen of yore, it was to play MWC (anime Slave Zero), Or NUDE (anime Seaman for 10~ mins. before realizing they don't know Japanese), it really didn't run OR look bad when I played it a couple years ago on a modern TV, so all it really needed was an upscale, the gameplay is timeless

Otogi ports when?

This port needs more time to fix things. I lose control of the game because of the cursor moving too much in fullscreen. That is a new one.

The first time I beat the second level (the first one with a real boss) the game locked up (went to black screen and wouldn't load the results screen) after I finished the level.

I had to play the entire level again and got careless and died against the boss. So had to play the level a third time to actually finish it. Not a great start.

No issues playing the level after though. I'll play some more today and see how it goes.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Anyone having an issue with the volume levels? Like everything except the DNN reports between levels is super quiet on PS4 for me, even after cranking them up in the settings menu.

Found a old copy of it.

The loving soundtrack costs as much as the game on steam. From used to do alot of pretty good music for their older games.

The song from the new trailer.

The jump in fun from having a baseline loadout to one or two good weapons is incredible. I beelined the Machine Gun development tree after Beverley Hills and the MG-200 absolutely tears everything apart. You need like three to have enough ammo for a stage, but that's a small price to pay to saw through everything as fast as you can run through the stage.

What are the safe ways to rescue people from cages? Stomping the cage seems out, but riddling them with bullets seems to work, I guess.

Any light weapon does the trick. So basically no stomping, no explosives, just bullets.
