Unseen photos of Michael Jackson, made for an unreleased Sega Saturn game, surfaced from a developer interview







Quote
In a recent interview with designer Kazunori Sasaki with News Post-Seven, as reported on by MJ Vibe, Sasaki-san spoke about how he met with Jackson during his HIStory World Tour stop in Japan in December 1996 to do some photography and motion capture work for an unreleased game, presumably a new entry in Sega’s Digital Dance Mix game series for Saturn. The above photos of Jackson were taken during that shoot and were never publicly shown before. (The Ghost album cover has been available to the public for many years, but News Post-Seven just attached it to the pictures, for some reason.)

"Reject This Ugly Husk And Play The Original" - Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Remake Isn't Going Down Well With Fans





Quote
Originally announced all the way back in 2018, the game soon vanished from release schedules – so much so that we even asked what had happened to it back in January of this year. It has now been confirmed that it will be developed by MegaPixel Studios and Storm Trident, with Forever handling the publishing duties.
You'd imagine that, after such a long period of silence for a remake of a beloved Sega Saturn classic, the reaction to this announcement would be positive – but you'd be wrong. Damn wrong.
The selection of screenshots shared by Forever Entertainment doesn't seem to have filled fans with optimism for the forthcoming game, with many people ...
