Those are some gritty buildings
Iām pumped for Front Mission 2: Remake. Are you pumped? If youāre not, maybe this trailer will give you some extra pump. Dropped earlier today by Forever Entertainment, it outlines the plot of the second game and shows off some of its locations.
Set 12 years after the events of the first game, Front Mission 2 is set against the backdrop of a coup dāetat in one of the OCUās nations. The trailer has this really intense-sounding dude reading some really dull lines. āMonitor the situation in this country torn apart by civil war.ā Monitor? Thatās the best word you could use? Not something like āget embroiled?ā Like, at least use a word that makes it sound like youāre participating in some way.
Dire need for a thesaurus aside, I love the style of Front Mission 2. Its gritty urban settings remind me simultaneously of Japanese PS2 war games and Sega Genesis titles. Theyāre grey, sure, but I could stare at them all day. I really donāt know how to explain it, I just love the aesthetic.
The Front Mission 2 remake is particularly exciting, as no version of it has previously been released in North America. It initially released in 1997 for the PlayStation, but it stayed exclusive to Japan. The first Front Mission remake was pretty exciting for me, so Iām looking forward to moving onto this one.
Front Mission 2: Remake will launch on Switch June 12, 2023. Currently, it’s exclusive to the platform
