Wargamer - PT Boats at Battlefront

Is PT Boats now an internet purchase only game and not to be placed 'on the shelves'? There are many that will not purchase it for that reason. OH well another promising title down the drain.

Publishing by Battlefront is probably the best possible thing that could happen to the sim. While it won't be on store shelves, BFC typically offers both download and mailed hard copy options (download only/hard copy only/download+hard copy). I no longer believe that sims need to be on the shelves at Walmart to survive.

Forum for the game here:

It says you can get a hardcopy complete with printed manual.
Also, a demo will be available near release date. Sounds good to me

I think Battlefield.com are a great company who will take the project further, whether they can attain the necessary sales to encourage development of a sequel is the big question. They failed to do it for Dangerous Waters, although it's own complextity/outdated graphics may have been the cause. It's quite a big gamble as it means that the game probably will not be available in retail stores. I presume/hope that the profit margin for Akella on sales is greater than that available in the traditional distribuition channels to counterbalance this.

http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/longpage.asp?gameid=16384 I got mine from there. Price is AUD $63.95 and I think they will ship to anywhere.

For those in the UK CD-wow.com is probably the cheapest option (£31.99) for the Australian version on import till Battlefront release their copy at $45.

Watch out for import VAT + Royal Mail handling charges in the UK though on the (on the Aussie CD-Wow import) which may add about £10+ on to the price. Battlefront I beleve have a depot in Ireland so theirs should be import duty free when it is released later this year.

Battlefront picking up this title is a very good move for Akella.

Has anyone played the game in multiplayer? From what I have read on other boards no serves are seen>>??
