Well, that's not actually the real title of the Tank Beat sequel (it's the decidedly less catchy Tank Beat 2 Clash! German Forces Vs. the Allies), but maybe if the game is localized, O3 or whichever company will pick up on our suggestion. Their title is more descriptive, we guess.The first Tank Beat detailed a fictional war between the countries of Codusal and Kyushengaard, though it included some real-world tanks. This one, however-- unless they've invented a new set of "Allies" and "Germans"-- takes place in World War II. You know, like every other game.
Did any of you check out Tank Beat? We didn't, though we like the idea of an arcade-ish tank game with stylus controls; we're thinking an updated Battlezone.
Yesterday saw the announcement to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu for a new DS game based around tank warfare. Of course, the proof is in the pudding, so Milestone is looking to bring realistic tanks into the title to give wannabe tank drivers (tankers?) the chance to use some of the most feared combat machines in history. With the Soviet T-34/85 or German Jagdpanther at players' disposal, they'll be able to progress through a story mode or take their battle to the multiplayer arena for some head-to-head action via local wireless play or Nintendo's Wi-Fi service.
