So what happens with WoW, Forsaken World and Phantasy Star all have a giant sex orgy? You get-Bounty Hounds!

BHO is a sci-fi based MMORPG. Currently in the US, it is in closed beta but easy enough to get keys for it. If you are interested, go here - http://bountyhounds.subagames.com/ If you go to the other site for BHO, you wind up with the Euro version and they are blacklisting US based IPs.

Based on the similarities in the title font, I do believe this game will be tied to the Bounty Hunters (PSP RPG) game. This likely ties into Namco's old UGSF universe. I'm not familiar with Bounty Hounds yet but I do plan on playing the PSP game to see. For the online game, this video will show you the character creation of 5 class types. Trooper (melee DPS), Scientist (tank), Bioengineer (medic), Agent (rogue) and Artillery (ranged/AOE dps). Every class gets a pet. It is essentially a robot/mech pet that comes in 3 flavors-ranged, tank and melee. You pick which kind you want and what you feel compliments you. I picked a tank one since I went ranged DPS (basically a hunter).

So far the game seems like space WoW. You start off in a tight noob zone where you quest around the inside of a ship. Eventually you go outside and level in an area where most mobs are neutral except bigger ones. For survival, you have shields that get eaten up before you HP does. The same goes for your CTU (pet). As you level up, you gain exp (for normal levels) and c exp for class levels. Leveling up goes to your core stats (stam, accuracy, will, etc) and class level goes into talent points.

I think the game has some potential but it has MASSIVE bugs right now. The in game noobie hand book is mostly broken with missing pictures. The first night I played this game, I got it to run full screen. Tonight I could not and it ran in windowed mode. You will see in the video that my hoverboard (mount) has a strange glitch where it has a big, flat box texture on top. The game also feels a little choppy and laggy but if they get their act together, SubaGames might have a fun F2P release on their hands. It has a MMORPG feel like many others with a slight graphics nod to Forsaken Worlds and a universe that reminds me of Phantasy Star. If you want, there is apparently a related anime on Hulu called Viper's Creed.

Edit-Yes this is a namco related game so it is tied to the universe of the PSP Bounty Hounds game. The character being played in this video is an Artillery class (ranged DPSer). Also, keybinding controls are not implemented to be prepared to go with their defaults and like it. Hope you all enjoy the crotch shot!
