Real, fake or wtf-ever.

All I know is that I just found the wall paper to my new 3 monitor setup.

While I can't say I believe this specific rumor I do believer a rebuild of Panzer Dragoon Saga is probably in the works. When Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 were announced it seemed like the logical course of action, giving people the thing they've been screaming about for decades. Between Panzer Dragoon doing better than expected and FFVII making Square a Scrooge money bin or two, there's no way PDS isn't on the table.

My favorite game ever. I just hope that if a hypothetical remake/re-imagine happens it comes out on the Switch!

Yeah this would be a day 1 purchase no matter the system its on. I own all the PD games except this one because I was dumb and sold it in high school when I was broke.

Like I legitimately do not believe

A. that a Saga remake is happening
B. that if a Saga remake was happening, that they won't fuck it up somehow.

It's not happening.

I love the Saturn game, but I will belive it when I see it.

Also Sega will probably do something stupid like put on it PS only, putting Panzer Dragoon, Orta and Saga on 3 different systems.

Can someone comment on the images? Are they something that seems professionally made or are there some glaring issues which immediately makes them fake?

I once fell for Panzer Dragoon Genos trailer. I will not be fooled again.

As a Panzer Dragoon fan, I rememeber watching this trailer and getting all giddy like a school girl, only for my heart to get crushed as if a semi ran over it.



I mean, this trailer obviously looked faked from the get go.

Those artworks are nice indeed... This games mean so much to a lot of us. But hey, still a rumor.
We need to keep being vocal about what we want

Even if unofficial & fake, I am glad other people have some imagination of how badass a remake of Azel could be.

That'd be great, but I really doubt it. I don't see Sega spending money on something that sounds expensive for this IP.
We got some really nice art out of it at least.

Pictures are good yes but we already saw more impressive here and there, fakers can be really good (and cruel) nowadays.

Would be cool though.

I don't see this as beeing cruel. If they have talent, let them do it and show how epic a remake could be.
Just another way of pitching a game with concrete rather than with words alone.

Some people clearly lack the imagination those days when I read "what's the audience" ? Well clearly, a RPG has a wider audience than a classic rail shooter so yea, a modern Azel Remake with current tech has a potential fairly large audience.

I wouldn't believe the fuckers at 4 Chan if my life depended on it. So this horseshit.

I didn't just buy a Switch and copy of the Panzer Dragoon Remake for nothing though. Hopefully one day we'll get to Saga. And it can be the barest of remakes as far as I'm concerned. An up res with AI enhanced FMV and textures would be plenty, and not beyond the realms of cost or reality. I can't see Sega doing Saga before Skies of Arcadia either.

Man... I don't want to get my hopes up for what might very well be a fake rumor. But it certainly would be amazing if true... But yeah, starting with "my friend at Sega" is a good indicator how fake it is.

Also, I don't know if you saw this before but someone contacted me last month about the same rumor.
It also started with "my friend from SEGA" but hey, I might as well put it in the same topic again

Metacritic's user score is always all over the place, the remake got a 63 from critics

It's hard to say exactly how much it sold when their press release was essentially "it's made more money than it cost to develop"

The Remake might not be perfect or suited for all generations but a game being profitable in its first weekend is a good thing, I don't know how we can even argue about that.

Also, a Azel/Saga Remake is just a completely different genre hence would potentially peak the interest of a different population. Yes, there would be an overlap with the original Panzer fans but RPG/story development is where the potential of the series - where potential growth is.

I do agree that Saga will probably return in some form. I'm more worried about it not doing justice to the original.

I never got past disc 1 but loved the whole vibe. I would kinda prefer a remaster that keeps the original spirit but I'm 100% down for a FF7 style remake

Lol this is fake. What are these images even meant to be? Internal dev images? Promo images? Why are they in English?

Would be wonderful but definitely going to wait for receipts.

If it does go forward, please for the love of god, get Yukio Futatsugi and other Andromeda staff heavily involved, if not leading it.

Unless the game is set in Kamurocho this is not happening

Yeah, over an hour of them iirc. But I'm sure a lot of them can be done in game-engine and look nicer.
Well, yeah, most of the in game images are sort of designed to look like they're faking better graphics from Saturn models. Still, it's a JRPG with a lot of ... well, what were essentially set pieces from the era. It's an extremely story heavy game that probably wouldn't just be fully outsourced to an outside developer for cheap.

Played disc 1. Always wanted to play the full game so I'm hoping this is true. A year ago I'd say no way but 2020 is so messed up anything could happen

I don't even want to get excited because this turning out to be fake would be painful. A competent Saga remake is one of my gaming holy grails.

I want a port of the original game. I am very against the idea of a remake if most of the people interested in the game as a whole cannot even play the original.

Probably fake, but God I hope it's true...

PDS is easily the best RPG of the 5th Gen that isn't widely available. And is absolutely within the top 5 RPGs of the whole generation, no question.

Played it for the first time about 4 years back or so and loved it to pieces!

It needs a re-release SO bad...

I remain skeptical but hope it's true. This thread has motivated me to play Panzer Dragoon Orta in the meantime.
