Zechs Merquise Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The use of the term 'party game' in this makes me shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftada Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 This screams Earth Defence Force to me, and that's a good thing! Make it a £10 download Namco and you have yourself a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogge Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) This game looks really cheap and nasty. The graphics could mostly have been done on the Wii and you drive around with tanks where you can't rotate the turret. So essentially, the game should've been called S-tank! S-tank! S-tank! I feel like doing a pun: I hope this game'll Tank, Tank, Tank in retail. Edited June 6, 2012 by Hogge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamba Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 This will likely sell loads in Japan but the whole game just feels 2 generations old. I'd hope that this is an arcade game port because it just screams it, with the taking pictures of your own face etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! By all accounts the game is actually meant to be pretty good, according to people who played the arcade original. An arcade port looks like the arcade game? Shocker!

madeinbeats Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Looks fun though doesn't it. It is (highly likely) only a download title after all. Edited June 16, 2012 by madeinbeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 A tank game where you can't rotate your turret? 3-way vertical splitscreen? 2 game modes? Truly awful graphics? They cannot be serious. At least when Sega made their arcade ports for the Dreamcast, they added at least a few more modes and a longer SP campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madeinbeats Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 A tank game where you can't rotate your turret? But watch the videos posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) But watch the videos posted. Yes. It only ever rotates when you stand still. As soon as you start moving, it centers again. IRL, tanks go from side to side to avoid getting hit. And they can accurately fire on their targets while doing so. There is no need for this game to have tanks in it. They behave like your character in Wolfenstein more than a tank. My only guess is that you play as tanks because these guys were to lazy to skin, rig and animate human character models!

darkjak Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You're getting confused with your time in Vietnam as tank commander and an arcade game. 1) Actually yes, I did do military service at an armoured regiment. 2) What's the point of preventing players from strafing? For the love of everything sacred, if you want to make the accessible, ad a lock on feature, like Metroid or Zelda. Also, what are the defining features of a tank? It's on tracks, it's heavily armoured and it's GOT A GUN MOUNTED IN A ROTATING TURRET! If you want to take enough creative freedoms to not make the vehicles in your game even fit the definition of a tank, why not make up your own vehicle? Why isn't this Mech! Mech! Mech! ?

dazzybee Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 If it's an absolute bargain and gets reasonable reviews I'll definitely pick this up. But it should definitely be a downloadable title. Think it would be if it wasn't a launch game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
