If it's Forever Entertainment 🤷‍♂️

They take epic games and make them meh (Panzer Dragoon) and/or completely miss the point of them (The House of the Dead).

I was happy enough with their remake of the original.

They need to dial down the colours for this one though.

And as with the original they won't touch the soundtrack

Man, this should of been given to Nightdive studios.
First wasn't quite the train wreck that everyone makes out, but it definitely lacked the soul of the original.
Hopefully Forever will do a better job this time around.
Zwei is an incredible game.
 
Forever Entertainment....EWWWWW. No thanks. After what they did to Front Mission 1-3, I would rather save my money.
It unfortunately is Forever Entertainment. They just announced it as they're publicly traded company, unfortunately their memo is only in Polish
OK nevermind. Not gonna get excited for this one. Will keep my expectations at 0 and be pleasantly surprised if it's actually good.
 
It says they'll remaster the soundtrack, like, let's assume hopefully it's just one of the many later high quality album versions released all these years or something else Sega lends them rather than something they cook up on their own, lol.

Wow, this took awhile! Was it in development this whole time, since the first remake back in 2020?

Surprised they didn't save this for the Nintendo Direct, maybe they didn't want to pay for a slot?

I just pretend these Panzer Dragoon remakes never existed and just play the originals on Saturn hardware when I get the itch.
Its the only way.

BTW Orta is still such an incredible game and worth owning an Xbox for alone.
 
Screenshots worse than I expected. Fuck Forever so much for ruining the chances of getting anything (new) decent out of these series in my lifetime. This shit is like someone ran the original through AI or something, just weird ass crappy assets that somewhat resemble the outline of the original low poly stuff in HD completely missing the actual intent of the artwork that's evident both in the original games and the concept art and even in how Orta handled the higher fidelity for that universe (even though I found that game to also be a bit of a watered down take on what came before).

Who knew that since 2003 that would end up being the last great Panzer Dragoon game....and an exclusive to this day
 
Awesome news. Pamzer Dragoon remake was great. Haters gonna hate 🤷
Yeah, I don't think it was as bad as people make it out to be. Somehow the pics of Zwei Remake actually look worse than PD Remake.

Unfortunately it's kind of a trick bag. If we don't buy it, Sega will use that as proof no one is interested in their Saturn era games...but this does look pretty rough from those screens.
 
Screenshots (switch version?) More here.

I hope these are unflattering screenshots or the Switch version with visual cutouts.....🤦
These look pretty awful. SEGA basically got the lowest bidder once again :(.

I will probably still buy this at some point , but it's just a shame.
 
I had no doubt it would look like garbage.
Sega WTF are you doing.
It's ugly but not Sega.

It's an old licensing deal from the previous administration for 4 games (circa 2017-2018)

Hope Utsumi will cut that crap for good after the final release.

I hate it when they do this ass backwards like this. I know nothing about the franchise, but they remake the second game before the first one? I won't have the proper context or reason to care about the characters without knowing that they did previously.
