Body-switching future soldiers fight giant mechs among other things in this new first-person shooter from Polish developer Techland. We check it out at E3 2006.

LOS ANGELES–2003’s Chrome was a futuristic first-person shooter starring a character with the best hero name in human history, Bolt Logan. Logan adventured as a mercenary in a universe where corporations vied for control of an element known only as “chrome.” Developer Techland’s follow-up, Chrome 2, seems to be heading in a slightly different direction with its mythos. While Chrome 2 still takes place in a similarly futuristic era, you don’t play as Logan again. Rather, you’re a solider in the military of the future–but not just any soldier. See, in this era, the dead aren’t necessarily dead. When you die, a procedure can be performed to take your consciousness and transfer it into a new body. Sound familiar? Maybe that’s because it’s basically the plot to the 1992 sci-fi campfest Freejack, although here, you don’t get to play as Emilio Estevez, and Mick Jagger isn’t trying to kill you. Here, once the procedure is done to you, you’re forced to pay off the cost with five years of military service. And if the demo of the game we saw at E3 2006 is any indication, perhaps death might be a more reasonable proposition, given what you’ll be in for.

The core gameplay concept behind Chrome 2 (apart from the fact that it is a first-person shooter, first and foremost) is that your soldier can upgrade his body in a whole host of ways. The game aims to include around 200 types of weapons, but even outside of standard upgrades, you’ll actually be able to straight-up steal other people’s bodies when required. Read more …
