Title: Panzer Dragoon games
Post by: Shun-Di on May 20, 2017, 04:46:02 pm
With Panzer Dragoon appearing in the list of top Sega IPs to possibly return, it's possible we will see a new game from the series like Virtua On.  if so, do you think the older titles become available digitally or in some sort of collection?  Also do you think a new Panzer Dragoon would be arcade shooter or RPG or something new entirely?

I'd take anything. I thought Orta was excellent, although it was a shift back to an action game after the RPG. Even an open world game would probably work well, as the lore of PD is so well-realized. A collection would be nice, although the rumor that the source code has been lost would mean that they'd be limited to some sort of emulation and couldn't really be remastered as thoroughly as if they had the original code.

Didn't Orta have the original game too?

It had the PC port yeah, but that wasn't has good as the Saturn version. I think the series should be left alone myself . But if SEGA were to go back to it, then it would have to be a RPG . The market just isn't there for an AAA high budget on-rails shooter. SEGA could try and remake the 1st Saga (don't give the Source code bull) with current gen graphics and really test the water to see if they could make a Saga II.

Tbh I rather see SEGA make a sequel to something like Binary Domain or Skies II in today market. Don't think there's a market for Panzer sadly

Personally, I'd love a compilation for the Nintendo Switch. Panzer Dragoon, Zwei and Orta on the go is something really tempting for me.

Forever Entertainment who has recently released the first Panzer Dragoon Remake (working on the sequel) and are currently working on The House of the Dead Remake, has announced that they have signed a publishing deal with Nintendo.
I think the saddest part is that SEGA didn’t sign a publishing deal with a developer that is literally reviving their older franchises.
What’s up with that?

Quote
At the end of the day, this is what probably matters most; this is Panzer Dragoon with better graphics.
It’s not the best game in the series, still too basic to get a whole lot out of it, but its core is still shining through. It’s a good game, and playing this game at something higher than twenty frames per second is enough to sell me on it, so yeah, you like rail shooters and haven’t played it? Go for it.
It’s cheaper than a Saturn and a copy of the original.

Round Table: Our favorite SEGA developed Saturn games

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/PanzerCGI-750x436.jpg)

Quote
Panzer Dragoon is, in my opinion, the best Saturn title available at launch.
Beautifully rendered 3D graphics, addicting arcade-style gameplay with one of the most exciting soundtracks ever recorded.
It also appealed to hardcore gamers, creating a challenging experience even on the easiest setting.
Less than a year later, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei took everything that made the original great and improved upon two-fold.
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei embodies everything I love about the Saturn.
Arcade-like thrills with imaginative visuals, great music and gameplay that will keep you hooked long after you’ve beaten the game.

Developer Retrospective: We take flight with SEGA’s Team Andromeda

(http://www.segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/draco-art-600x424.jpg)

Quote
The SEGA Saturn’s surprise early launch in America is considered one of the most disastrous mistakes in the history of the video game industry.
It angered SEGA’s third party publishers and retail partners, it allowed Sony to get the drop on the Saturn with a lower price point and it ultimately destroyed SEGA’s dominance in the American market, financially crippling SEGA permanently.
The launch did have a bright spot though: it introduced the games of SEGA’s Team Andromeda to the West.

Still unsure.
After deleting the tweet, the twitter account never post anything or answering any question again.
May be the twitter guy are playing safe now,
doesn't want to make the same mistake again
(or might have been fired already).

My guess it's probably really cancelled,
but the reason wasn't because of that.
Title: Re: Panzer Dragoon games

It suck if it was canceled. It was the one thing I asked for on the Panzer Dragoon Steam discussion.

But given I'm more experianced with VR now, it's probably for the best if it was canceled. While I believe most games can be made for VR, the reason some are not is because their video game company's health and safety department advises them against it if the game in VR may cause severe motion sickness or seizures. And well, flying on the back of a dragon in VR would require a stomach of steel.

Other theory that probably the game was tested by SEGA and rejected by SEGA, then SEGA ended their contract.
Even Sega's own VR headset in the early 1990s was canceled by themself due to "hazards of prolonged use" possibility.
So this could be the same case too.

Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute on Nintendo Switch features fully working SEGA Saturn emulator

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cottonsaturnemulator-750x422.png)

Quote
City Connection just recently released Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute that compiled Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang and Guardian Force on a single cartridge.
The game was, well, not well received due to the emulation being used having input lag, making the games hard to play.
The story would have ended there but, GBATemp user Iisreal2301 figured out a way to load his own SEGA Saturn images onto the game file, basically allowing you to boot up any SEGA Saturn game by tricking the system into thinking its loading a Cotton game!

Possibly, but the audience view on VR has changed a lot since then and I think Sega could profit of VR if they do it right. For example my suggestions for Sega VR games are Illbleed (http://), Rise of Nightmares (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_Nightmares), re-release of the 3-D (https://segaretro.org/3-D_Glasses) games and a Sega Superstars game for VR.

How SEGA Lost 'The Greatest Game Of All-Time'

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/12/88/0012886a91cd1546641ad5a312d2b001.jpg)

Quote
Saga was as highly praised as FFVII, but most players didn't get to experience it because only a few thousand copies were ever available in the West, as the game only came out when the Saturn had already been pronounced dead.
Saga didn't miss; it's just that very few people got to see the hit.
Over two decades of being touted as a lost treasure have slowly turned Panzer Dragoon Saga into one of the most desired HD remasters; too bad no one seems to know where the goddamn source code is, making that highly unlikely.

If I knew how, I'd convert Rise of Nightmares to PC VR. I mean I doubt there would be much hype for it as much as Project '06 but still I wish someone else would give these suggestions of mine a chance if I can't do them.

Even i didn't know about PDS until years later. Seems hard to believe it could rival FF7 at the time if it were not for it's circumstances.

Did SEGA ever make modern VR game by themself?
Even Space Channel 5 VR and Rez Infinite VR were made by other company, right?

In Japan it's still a success. But that's because Saturn was gaining much more love than Mega Drive in Japan, by a lot, unlike rest of the world.

The closest I can think of that Sega got to VR would be games for the 3-D glasses (https://segaretro.org/3-D_Glasses). That and maybe whatevers left over from the scrapped Sega VR (https://segaretro.org/Sega_VR) which I doubt Sega will ever bring up in the future.

It's kind of understandable why the Saturn never got that popular in the west... well lots of factors why really (Screw you Sony and your 299 (http://y2u.be/ExaAYIKsDBI)!).
But one of the factors was most regarded it as a console for Sega's arcade games and rarely ever for it's original or third-party content. But the console still had good original content and even third-party content which (I would say) give PlayStation a run for it's money.

But sadly Sega pretty much peaked after the Mega Drive and somewhat floundered afterwards. They had a bit of wind during the Dreamcast but that was that for Sega's consoles. I know Sega are better off as software developers now with multiple platforms for their games but I would of still like to see Sega recover and continue the console business if they could. Really give Nintendo and Sony what for. But you already know how I feel about that.

Guess it's really very small chance for SEGA to make VR games on their own now.

That 299 was a genius move from Steve Race.
But Sony of Japan was so ungrateful and always had constant disputes with him over the PlayStation's promotion and marketing.
He even quit from Sony one month before the PlayStation's launch in the US.

For Saturn, the absence of some big third-party supports (Square, Namco, Enix) hurts too...
Final Fantasy VII was a Saturn killer in Japan.
I know they got Namco support again on Dreamcast so at least they're aware of this.
But then they lost EA's support.
If SEGA enter the console business again, I'm sure they're gonna face this problem again.

Not necessarily. One thing I liked about Sega was their interest in new and experimental technology. Sega Superstars for example was to see what games they could make with the EyeToy. And while Sonic Free Riders and Rise of Nightmares were bad Kinect games, you can't discredit Sega for not giving the Kinect a go. Even the Sonic Storybook games were Sega experimenting with the Wii's controls which were new and innovative at the time.
This is why I believe Sega should consider a "Sega Superstars VR" game. The Puyo Puyo game I'm making could simply be one of many games they could have to it.
Another idea for SSVR would be 3-D games (https://segaretro.org/3-D_Glasses) collection. These Master System games are either emulated or remade to treat the players VR headset like the 3-D Glasses would work (I mean I think the original 3-D glass flickered from one eye to another and I'm thinking just have the 3-D games projected seperately on each eye. Y'know, to not cause seizures or whatever.)
Other than original games and Master Systems 3-D games, I would also include demos of existing Sega games as proof of concept. For example Rise of Nightmares had terrible Kinect controls but perhaps if remake into a VR game it would be more favourable.

It all comes down to whenever Sega are inspired and willing to make experimentation games like they did with EyeToy and Kinect.

Yeah, I'm not saying they should go back into the console business. I'm just curious what Sega consoles we would have today if they did. Fans of Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft games could take pride owning the latest console from their favourate brand, like having a tiny shrine for your favourate corporation. Sega no longer has that luxury.

Still I believe if Sega ever did decide to return to making home machines, their best bet would be making small form factor gaming PCs.
For example, VALVe's Steam Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(hardware_platform)).
VALVe aren't foolish enough to make their service of their games exclusive to a console given the majority of their market is PC. But they could still market a console-like computer that's ideal for their services and with an operating system for it.
This doesn't mean Sega will have to pull out of Steam or other onlne gaming services that provide their products but they could start their own for the console.

But all this would perhaps be too expensive or elaborate for Sega to pull off just to get consoles back in peoples homes. Though not as expensive as making a brand new console exclusively for Sega's future games.

All of these games really looks amazing on 3DS.
But they were ported by the talented M2, and I don't think SEGA would do it again without M2.
And M2 is already busy for the nest two years with their shmup series.

I think the problem is not just because of will it be expensive or not, but will it bring SEGA's profit or bring them loses, or worst case bring doom like Dreamcast back then.
I'd rather they stay safe and alive than taking that huge kind of risk.

I can't recall if I have that game for N3DS or not, but I know I never played the 3-D games. I want to, but I can't. I know you can get the 3-D games emulated online but what's the point if they don't work with VR?
I kinda forgot that game exist, but yes, it would be cool indeed in VR version.
I'm pretty sure Rise of Nightmares, along with Sonic Free Riders, was mostly just a proof of concept or experimental games with the Kinect. I mean RoN had a somewhat decent horror story but it was still rather cheesy horror with hammy acting. It wasn't all that a bad game but it's confines to the Kinect made it both bad and all the more forgettable. But I believe if remade for virtual reality with revised gameplay then the worth of the game may shne through more. But I doubt Sega would ever be interested in finding out if RoN would be good in VR because they simply deem it a failed game.

I mean heck, the Sonic Riders series was their most popular Sonic racing games, yet they put a bullet in it because of Sonic Free Riders, which was just an experimental Kinect game. I'd much rather have Team Sonic Racing on hoverboards than sloppy-seconds from the All-Star racing games.
I think the problem is not just because of will it be expensive or not, but will it bring SEGA's profit or bring them loses, or worst case bring doom like Dreamcast back then.
I'd rather they stay safe and alive than taking that huge kind of risk.
I agree. I mean not even the Steam Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(hardware_platform)) has that much buzz, you'd think it would. Sega fans would perhaps regard Sega's gaming PC as the sixth Sega console but I doubt it would have as much attention as Dreamcast had starting out. And even if mass producing such PCs would be cheaper it would still probably be too costly for sega's part.

I just wanna see what new console they would come up with. Especially for Sega Hard Girls.

I guess this is why experimental game using established francise is kinda dangerous..
It could kill the franchise since higher ups sometimes only see the numbers..
Warioware has same problem with Warioware Snapped (DSi).
It's supposed to be experimental game using DSi camera but the review was very very bad.
They revived the franchise again may years later with Warioware Gold
but in the ending line of 3DS lifeline.

According to Neptunia franchise,
if SEGA didn't quit the console business,
their console will be Neptune,
using name from their previous unreleased console (https://segaretro.org/Sega_Neptune).

In yet Nintendo are still willing to make WarioWare games despite bad games in the past. Because they know the WarioWare games were still popular... for some reason.
Sega are like "Oh, this installment to the series didn't sell well. Might as well kill the spin-off series."

I thought the Sega Neptune was a cancelled console before the Sega Saturn? Because the Mega Drive had the Sega CD and 32X attachments that made the whole thing look ugly and require three plugs to power the whole mess, the Sega Neptune was suppose to be like a new Mega Drive that plays 32X and CD games.

SEGA did asked via survey which franchises fans would be revived.
And the top poll back then was Sakura Wars, so they did make a new game of it.
Shinobi couldn't even make to the top 10.

Yep, but that was canceled so the name was used to the new console that would be the rival of Wii, PS3, and XBox360.

There are also other characters based on Game Gear successor (Nepgear) and based on SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis (Plutia).
Much like her sister who represents a fictitious Sega Console, Nepgear represents a fictitious Sega Handheld (N-Gear).
N-Gear's rival would be NDS (Rom & Ram) and Uni (PSP)

Plutia has two personalities.

It's really make a funny story when Neptunia  characters met with SEGA Hard Girls characters in their crossover game.

One of them has package illustration drawn by Katsumi Yokota best expresses the world view of the work.
With that world view as a motif, we designed a title name that expresses the world view on the top and left and right letters of the illustration.
At the bottom, there are opening story description, the empire mark, and the Azel excavated from the ruins of the old century.

Trivia : Panzer Dragoon Orta: Kaze To Akatsuki No Musume is a novel based on the video game Panzer Dragoon Orta.
Like the Azel novel, it was never released outside of Japan.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

SEGA Saturn Mini console hasn't been ruled out, but don't expect it anytime soon

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FedwlZyXoAEB6lt?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Speaking to the Japanese publication Famitsu (translated by VGC), SEGA president Yukio Sugino stated that the "Sega Saturn is surprisingly high performance," admitting that "the difficulty of miniaturisation is also high."
Sugino added that it may take a while for a Sega Saturn Mini to hit store shelves, but he seems keen to collaborate with teams who know the hardware inside and out: "I’d like to think about it when we’re in a situation where we can openly develop it together with people who have always loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast."
That last quote is particularly eye-catching; if a Sega Saturn Mini is successfully developed, the publisher may ...

According to a report from Insider Gaming, their sources confirmed that three other franchises would be brought back into the marketplace.
Those three games are Panzer Dragoon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Sakura Taisen.
Of course, those are just rumored right now, as nothing official from Sega has confirmed that these game IPs are in development or scheduled to see a release sometime in the near future. Meanwhile, it wasn’t long after ...
