Sega Saturn classic Panzer Dragoon will be getting a remake

IMG_2405.JPG

One of the more standout titles from the short-lived Sega Saturn will be getting remade soon. Forever Entertainment has been hired by SEGA to remake Panzer Dragon I and II. Both games will feature brand new graphics "comparable to today's standards", and some of its gameplay elements will be modernized to make it more accessible to new players. No platform was given, but the first game's remake is confirmed to release before the end of 2019, while Panzer Dragon II: Zwei: Remake will follow the next year. More information is due in the "next few months". Forever Entertainment's previous history consists of Fear Effect: Sedna, which was moderately received by critics and fans.

Neat. I played through both on my chipped Sega Saturn not too long ago, and they're definitely games that could use a good visual upgrade, along with some gameplay modernization.

It's a massive shame they lost the source code to Saga though, that game is definitely one of the best Saturn games and definitely needs a remaster so more people can actually play it.

I love sonic adventure games but they have aged

SEGA are finally redeeming their mistakes by bringing more of what people actually want.
Doesn't matter if it's a remake, remaster, or a completely new game.. As long there's passion, the sky's the limit!


speaking of sky, Skies of Arcadia remaster when?

I hope this doesn't end like other SEGAAA! remakes, The Nights Into Dreams one was terrible.
Whats wrong with it? bought it and did 100% on PC with no issues. I know that some chain timings were changed so some infinite chains are not possible, and that some content was cut(Sonic in the Christmas Night), but I'd hardly call that a terrible remake.

Uh, yea, I'd prefer them making a new game in the series or just another similar rail shooter. I'd tend to argue for all its flaws, a remake just doesn't make sense. :/ Having said all that, I'm glad they've shown interest in Panzer Dragoon at all.

It already was on Gamecube, I own the original on Dreamcast and I don't really understand what a remake would add to the experience
I own the GameCube version and I've played it many times.

Mainly wanting nicer, newer graphics, new game+ with carrying things over.

It sucks we see Fina in her pirate outfit for all of 2 seconds because that shit suited her so well.

And I've always held onto the hope of a sequel or even a prequel.

Do you mean the Nights into Dreams PS3 re-release? That was just an HD port wasn't it? Or do you mean the one for the Wii? I think that was a straight up sequel.

What kind of chipped Saturn do you have? A full blow ODE?

Nah, I ain't no rich boy who can afford the ODE :sad:

I have a Phantom Universal modchip, it's almost entirely plug and play (just have to solder a wire for power), lets you play burned CD-Rs and such. Interestingly, I bought mine directly from the guy who made the chip for like $20, but it appears the forums where he had his store is shut down so all that's left to buy (that I can find) is the link I pasted for like 2x what I paid.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
