Segabits:
Although few gamers nowadays have heard of it, the original Panzer Dragoon trilogy has an almost legendary status among Sega fans, particularly among those that owned a Sega Saturn. What was it, though, that made the Panzer Dragoon games so special? There were many things that the Panzer Dragoon games did right at the time. The game’s 3D graphics were amongst the best seen on the system at the time, and the first two games raised the bar for the on-rail shooter genre. Similarly, Panzer Dragoon Saga’s story, voice acting and battle system were ahead of their time.
However, what really defined the games was perhaps not the gameplay, the story, the characters or even still the unique artwork. What really stood out was the world that Team Andromeda created for their games. Panzer Dragoon introduced us to a desolate world where much of the events that happened in the past were shrouded in mystery
For the most part, this was a lovely trip down memory lane. Which feels sort of strange to say when it also served as an introduction to gaming’s new groundbreaking, revolutionary platform in Stadia.
On both counts, Expansive had a great time, and the experience has made the team want to play more Stadia games, as well as go back and get higher scores in Panzer Dragoon.
Panzer Dragoon the classic Sega Saturn game is getting remade for Nintendo Switch and is now confirmed as getting a physical release too.
I'm s excited for this game hope it leads to more Graphical Remasters and eventually more games in the series.
I can't wait to run my Saturn titles next to the Switch version to see how close they are to the original.
I spotted Panzer Dragoon Sorta on Game Pass the other day and I had to get it. I remember playing that game way back in the day.
