Panzer Front 2 on PS2

TerrorFirmer · 29-07-2005 10:29am #1

I used to love the original on PSX, alongside Medal of Honor it remains my favourite game out of that generation of consoles. For those of you that don't know it, it's a ww2 Tank simulation. Great game, played it for hours on end christmas morning.

There is a sequel on Ps2, but afaik, it was never released outside of Japan....anyone know where I can buy it, in English language? Called Panzer Front Ausf B I think.

Thanks, would KILL to get this game....

Damn, appears to be ntsc and japanese only....guess the game was never released beyond japan, such a goddamn shame....thanks anyway.

On another note, Panzer Front was released on Dreamcast? Wow. Would love see that...

AFAIK it's coming out soon(or has been released already) by some smaller publisher that specialises in porting over obscure JPN-only titles... 505Street or something.

Sorry for the sketchy info... not much time atm:)

Yes, yes, YES!!

Where can I buy it??? I'd easily pay 70 or 80 quid for it if I had to

Looks like there is a fantastic bit of videogame obscura being released by 505gamestreet. Hope they become the European equivalent of Working designs except without all the fart jokes.

Yep, fair play to them, it's sad that we have to wait for a shoddy Italian crew with a NoE-esque distro ethic to bring us smelly-europeans some odd games YEARS out of date though;)

Also ye should try Michigan; quality.

I don't care, as long as PF Ausf B gets here in a playable translation I'll be a happy man

Ooh! A firefighting game. I've been waiting for a firefighting game that was as brilliant as Firemen on the SNES for ages. Hope it's better than that samey Konami effort.

It's out AFAIK, but I'd say your best bet is to try online. I haven't noticed any of those games in any real shops in town.

I've tried play, amazon, gameplay and a few others. Can't find it, other then the original ntsc jap version....which is useless to me!

lol, see what I mean about NoE-esque distibution!?:)

hmm it says it's available on the site though.

EDIT: I just had a trawl thru various fora for info on these guys and they seem to have released about 3 copies of their games. Except Bujingai(which is def worth a look):)lol

Hardly any e-shop I could think of even deals with them; but I'd say your best bet might be to ask a real shop to order it for ye. (they do do that I presume?:))

Good luck with the search, don't forget to tell us if it's good or not.

Hey, where'd my last post go???? I posted it about an hour after the last one!

Did you buy this yet???

I found it online at http://www.alapage.com/ and www.dvdcrave.com

Both sites are fairly well regarded AIAFK

PF2 woulda been the ONLY reason to keep it...not really worth it
