BUY BUY BUY

Lack of widespread Steambot love makes me :'(

EDIT- I actually know a store that still has a new copy of Tail Concerto. I shall have to look into it!

Because most of the same complaints could be lodged at it, yet most of GAF (myself included) thinks it's the best game ever? :(

But since you haven't played it, nevermind. The comparison is lost on you. :(

also, IREM finally moving onto ps3 increases the chance of Disaster Report 3

*crosses fingers*

If that is a screen shot it's hot.

Witchfinder General · (09-14-2007, 07:54 AM)

Graphics look nice.

TheJollyCorner · (09-14-2007, 08:09 AM)

strangely enough, this was the name of my failed contribution to the Karma Sutra. :(

i didn't say it was the best game ever...

in fact when i wrote a review for it, i gave it a 7.5 :P not exactly "greatest game ever" material...

FF_VIII · (09-14-2007, 09:50 AM)

Most excellent.

Hoping for some screens/footage at TGS.

Rezbit · (09-14-2007, 10:04 AM)

Bumpy Trot is a way cooler name than Steambot Chronicles.

I dunno, it kinda sounds likes slang for an STD to me.

I thought your contribution was Tail Concerto?

Like Trusty Bell, they must make the name safe for NA consumption. More syllables = more win.

looks great and interesting. But i never played the first part...
Hopefully I can still find it.

It really, really is. Bumpy Trot has character. You're like, whoa, Bumpy Trot? What the hell is that? Then you look at it and it has these cool robot dudes. Except no it doesn't, because that cover is fucking atrocious. You can't even tell what this game is by that cover. Is this Singstar or a robot game? Move the robots up front, call it Bumpy Trot, instant win. Goofy names work, people. Look how well Katamari Damacy did! Steambot Chronicles is a boring generic title on a crappy cover.

eXistor · (09-14-2007, 04:38 PM)

Cool, the first was very interesting, but the execution was far from perfect imo. A sequel is much wanted though

Except the full title of the Japanese game is "Junk Romance Great Action Bumpy Trot," which is still the greatest title of all time.

That's truly awesome.

Lain · (09-15-2007, 07:31 AM)

Great!
Really liked the first, and with the sequel coming to the PS3, hopefully it wont have the same problems the first had with its graphic engine (altho it was so because that engine sucked, not because of the console, so they could still put out something with slowdowns and stuff... I sure hope not tho!).

Here are some screens from the PSP Bumpy Trot Battle Tournament:

http://www.the-magicbox.com/0709/game070917d.shtml

Irem announced Bumpy Trot: Vehicle Battle Tournament [Steambot Chronicles: Vehicle Battle Tournament] for PSP, a battle action game based on the Bumpy Trot series. In this game you battle with other trot vehicles from around the world, there will be 1-on-1 and melee battles, you can earn money to customize and upgrade the parts of your trot vehicles. There are also various quests which you can take in the town, and earn money to remodel your vehicles.

Hopefully the PS3 game will at least look nice, as far as everything else it can be the same as the PS2 game I don't mind

About as stealthy as The Kool Aid Man. I saw it four or five times.

Keep the next-gen RPGs coming!

This isn't an RPG. It's a mech combat adventure game.

u_neek · (09-18-2007, 10:39 PM)

... with RPG elements.

Good enough for me ;)

Bebpo · (09-21-2007, 03:28 AM)

So there's a trailer of this at TGS supposedly. Why hasn't anyone filmed it yet :(

Ikael · (09-21-2007, 03:44 AM)

Steambot chronicles is an very good game, which tried to apply the gta open endness to a 100% Japanese traditional game. It had its fair share of flaws (urgh @ the mech controls) but it was incredibly charming, and conceptually talking more ambitious than your usual game. Had it been occidental, the critic would have been all over it.

Darji · (09-21-2007, 02:12 PM)

yay finally some footage. Even if its only a few seconds and LQ....

http://g-tsuku.tsutaya.jp/?eid=10149

I love the music^^

typhonsentra · (09-21-2007, 02:24 PM)

Who else thought this was going to be about a horse racing sim?

nelsonroyale · (09-21-2007, 10:33 PM)

that looks pretty darn good, from the small snippet

It's not Steambot's fault you're a retrad. :P

This is great news.

Along with the PSP game.

Viva la froo froo Japan games!

Kodiak · (09-21-2007, 11:40 PM)

For some reason I confused Bumpy Trot with Trusty Bell, and was like OMGWTF

but then when I realized it was Steambot 2 made by IREM I was all like OMGOMGWTF
