It's called Project Draco and it's the same guy who created the series.

That would be great. Panzer Dragoon can not be left behind.
But it needs to maintain the 'Panzer Dragoon' title.

Won't happen since Sega would have rights to that name.

Oh, I thought Sega was involved with the game.

I remember opening a thread about htis in the general game discussion forum. Yeah SEGA is not involved.

I don't know where I have read it, but I read that this game was going to play a lot different from the panzer dragoon series.

Another thing I should note is that panzer dragoon orta on the xbox was not directed/produced by this guy who's making "project draco" now.

It was directed by Shun Arai, Takayuki Kawagoe and Akihiko Mukaiyama from smilebit. The same guys who did the jetset radio series.

If somebody knows more about it, I would love to know what exactly has happened with smilebit and it's staff. Also are there more people from SEGA than just the director now working for microsoft and it's kinect game? If he was responsible for the saturn dragoon games, a big loss if you ask me. Artstyle was beautiful.

Edit:

Here some info about Shun Arai (http://http://segaretro.org/Shun_Arai?rdfrom=http%3A%2F%2Finfo.sonicretro.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DShun_Arai%26redirect%3Dno)

Here some about Takayuki (http://http://info.sonicretro.org/Takayuki_Kawagoe)

I thought Smilebit were doing the Mario & Sonic series.

Seems you're right.

You don't see their logo in any of thos games however. I think SEGA is still trying to build itself up again in the gaming industry. It's just weird to see smilebit making commercial games like mario and sonic  games after the masterpieces they have made in the past.

The only SEGA Japan team that specifically gets their name on the box now is Sonic Team.

Don't forget AM2! They get their name on the box too. It's just that they haven't had a retail release in a while.

AM2 is still AM2, Smilebit isn't called Smilebit.
