¿Can the coming of Panzer Dragoon Orta to XBOX originals revive the franchise?

Seems that almost there's a hard panzer dragoon fanbase in japan, as they demanded dragoon orta to become one of the first "xbox originals" to hit 360 soon..

Well considering how poor are the sales of 360 in japan...who thinks this can "resurrect" the panzer dragoon franchise?

 

I hope they never try to make another Panzer Dragoon. Shame on them for ruining Yukio Futatsugi's plot in the first place.

If anything, I would want to see MS buy the PD license and outsource the game to Futatsugi's new team. I most certainly do not want that abomination Segammy butchering Panzer Dragoon.

 

Doubt it, and I wouldn't want them to revive it at this point anyway. Sega's pretty far gone, and would just make it half assed like most of their recent projects. Hell, its a good thing they made Orta when they did.

 

Just remake Saga

 

Remake Saga?? Blasphemy.

 

Indeed.

The only remake of Saga that should ever exist would be Futatsugi's idea to make it into a rail-shooter like the first two titles. That would be pretty interesting to see.

 

Nobody else will ever get to play saga since a copy costs you your soul.

So remake it!

 

Its cheap if you know where to look

I got my copy off a carboot sale a few years back for £1! :110:

 

Man, I love how everyone says Saga is worth so much, but then nobody ever buys mine when I try to sell it

I'll have to grab it again when I am up in Scotland in April and try once more to sell it.

I could never be bothered playing past the first hour or so, it was a horrible game.

 

maybe it's the NTSC copy and not the PAL one?

 

a horrible game?

rare to hear this, for me it's the best 32 bit rpg with BIG DIFFERENCE.

 

Occassionally you come across people who play PDSaga waaaaaaay after the fact and can't get past the 32-bit graphics.

It happens.

 

Reason why it should be re-released with new AAA-grade graphics.

 

No, because then it will be trashed:
For being incredibly short.
For the plot not holding your hand.
For it not "living up" to the uninformed's expectations.
For it not letting you choose your responses to people.
For it not being open ended.

Etc.

PDSaga should forever remain a treasure on the Saturn, for those of us who can appreciate the Saturn even now and still see games like PDSaga as absolutely gorgeous despite the aging graphics.

 

It's certainly not the graphics that get to me. I enjoy playing plenty of other Saturn/PSX Games of the time.

I just didn't find the gameplay fun. It felt like a real chore to play it, which makes it a bad game to me

 

The graphics in Saga are really good imo, past the first section mind. the water effect at shellcoof is amazing.

 

But of all those problems you listed none had anything to do with graphics.

 

Um, that was my point. Remaking PDSaga in this day and age, it would get trashed by reviewers, because of what they think it should be. If it was remade with better graphics, then why would a reviewer complain about the graphics?

If you played Panzer Dragoon Saga around release and are capable of appreciating games from around that time, then chances are you will see PDSaga as one of the most brilliant RPGs to ever be made.

But if you're one of these dimwits that compares Lost Odyssey to MASS EFFECT and then groans about LO not being innovative since the main character isn't a space marine... then... chances are you wouldn't really get PDSaga.

Not you personally... but you know.

 

i played Saga recently , like 4 years ago.still thought its one of the best RPGs i ve played.to this day its artwork amazes me.

 

If you learn Japanese you can get if for next to nothing with a beautiful manual as well.
