Bluepoint Games Director Teases Legend of Dragoon Remaster

Peter Dalton, Technical Director at Bluepoint Games confesses his love for Legend of Dragoon while also teasing the possibility of a Remaster.

[-Foxtrot]

PLEASE

Sony should buy Bluepoint, it's a great strategy to bring back and revive old franchises

Bluepoint or someone else could remake the older games and then you can develop a new instalment since you've brought the franchise back into the spot light with the remakes.

[Lore]

Way better alternatives than bluepoint. Just more expensive

[DerfDerf]

What? Bluepoint is already a great dev and it has nothing to do with Sony.

[Lore]

LOL. No one said SoTC wasn’t great. Sony has always been my preferred publisher of choice and for good and logical reason, which is why I’d rather them make an acquisition of a development team that is of similar size and caliber to their current AAA 1st party teams. Level-5, Cygames, or Platinum to name a few.

[jivah]

You want old games? Why not new ones. New experiences.

[Teflon02]

Lore, I'll agree only because I think Level-5 was the best option imo for Sony outside of Insomniac games. Dark Cloud 2 is my all time fav game and I love all of Level-5's Playstation games since the first dark cloud. I'd love if they were given the ability to be the main RPG studio. I'd look forward to everything they do. But Level-5 would probably be a hassle to get for sure

[Ratchet75]

Better alternatives?!??? 😂 😂

[bouzebbal]

Oh my god! Remake of one of the biggest jrpgs of all time by the remake wizard!!!
Where can I pay???

[mikeslemonade]

Legend of Dragoon wasn’t even good.

[The Wood]

I hear you on that platinum and level 5 desire but with most things, you can't just get what you want when you want it. Strike whilst the irons hot. These deals take time and a lot of effort. I'd take bluepoint because they've been solid doing what they do. The relationship is there which helps. The more the merrier

[bouzebbal]

PS5 reveal where they announce bluepoint acquisition and Legend of Dragoon trailer will for sure be on my top 3 biggest announcements ever.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Blue Point is literally the best remake/remaster dev in the industry and they've been adding to their team and could logically make their own game relatively soon. However, even if Sony just bought them as a remake/remaster studio it'd be a brilliant move. They did the brilliant Nathan Drake Collection and Shadow of the Colossus was probably the best remake ever made. They have a long history of remake/remasters prior to that as well including the excellent Gravity Rush Remaster, the God of War Collection, and Ico/SotC.

Sony has so many classic franchises that buying BP as strictly a remake/remaster studio would keep them busy indefinitely. The original Killzone would make a great remake, the Resistance trilogy deserves an Uncharted-like remaster, Draken, Motorstorm, Medievil 2, Warhawk, Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, Driver, Tomba ect.

[IamTylerDurden1]

I meant The Getaway via Sony London, not Driver. FML.

Speaking of London, how about a remake or just a "make" of 8 Days which never actually released.

MAG is another potential remake. Socom, Jack & Daxter as well. Twisted Metal, Jet Moto, PS All-STARS. It really is absurd how many classic franchises Sony can reach back to. Sly Cooper.

[darthv72]

If Sony hasnt bought them, they must have their reasons.

[neutralgamer1992]

More like they haven't announced the acquisition

A lot of press conferences in between now and February-March 2020(when they will reveal Ps5)

[yuhuvumeki]

“Sony should buy Bluepoint”

Yes. Yes they should.

[DogJosha]

I think this would be a terrible mistake. Not necessarily for Sony, but for the consumers. Sony has some gems that they own the IP to, but there are so many more options when you look past Sony. Legend of Legaia, Skies of Arcadia, and Golden Sun are just a few to mention that all belong to different companies. Bluepoint would have a considerably harder time, but not necessarily impossible, making remakes of other great games if they are tied to a single company. The only reason they should be acquired by another company is if they face financial hardship that makes it unlikely that they will be able to continue doing what they do.

[BillyG0AT]

Just curious, why would you not want the game to come out on all platforms? That would increase the revenue of the devs and lead to better games, right?

[Majin-vegeta]

Cuz legend of Dragoon is a Sony owned IP....

[MasterCornholio]

Like Majin said the game isn't going to be made if it isn't an exclusive. That's the way Sony owned IPs work for the most part.

[neutralgamer1992]

Sony has just hasn't announced

SOTC remake was a huge test for blue point

[Muzikguy]

I would love for this to be true. Remake or remaster doesn't matter to me. I've yet to play the original but have planned on it. Just so many other games to play.That and I haven't touched the PS3 in a long time.

[ReVibe]

@Hawkeye SotC and Metal Gear HD Collection were awesome. Nuff said for me.

[kayoss]

doing remakes is one thing, but have bluepoint made an original IP?

[SugarSoSweet]

Why though? Just because of ONE PS1 game? What have Bluepoint done lately worthwhile?

[rainslacker]

I think if Sony is producing a remake for the game, then chances are high they're also buying bluepoint. I know there's a rumor floating around that they will be.

[BlackIceJoe]

I'd LOVE to see this happen, because this is one game that I wish got a sequel and maybe if it gets remastered it finally will.

After remaking Legend of Dragoon I'd like to see both Drakan games get remade too.

[Bushwick]

Drakan was awesome! Would like Chrono cross as well

[BlackIceJoe]

I'd be down for that too.

[MWH]

I loved the first Drakan, the second not that much. Still would be great if they bring it back.

Who remembers Mourn Bringer?

[phoenixwing]

i'd like a sequel tbh but i'll definitely pick up a remaster/remake

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Oh please be true.

[thatguyhayat]

Dont you f***ing dare mess with my feelings i will cry if this is true

[neutralgamer1992]

😂

[Pancit_Canton]

*Scream like a little girl*

Holy F***ing S***

*Throws money on the monitor*

Just give me any collectors or limited edition minus the micro-transaction, if possible.

[porkChop]

Oh hell yeah. I'd be all over this.

[Flewid638]

Sony should buy them for real.

[neutralgamer1992]

Will announce soon

Ms tried acquiring them too but like insomniac they chose less money but Sony over ms

[deadfrag]

Keep dreaming!

[isarai]

As someone who always heard about this game but never played it, can someone sum up how this game plays and what makes it great?

[GortJester]

Turn based but your characters acquire Dragoon Powers that allow you to transform and do QTE attacks in battles. Great story and just a heck of a unique RPG.

[Godmars290]

...!

You have my attention...

[neutralgamer1992]

Glad

They are working one remaster and one remake

[criticalkare]

Omg please be true but where is their next game announcement...

[neutralgamer1992]

Remake of a old Sony IP 😉

[smashman98]

Check my comment history because I have been calling this one for years!! YESSSS!!!

[neutralgamer1992]

Here is a fun fact about bluepoint

Sony has allowed them to pick which games they want to remaster or remake especially after the excellent job they did with SOTC

SOTC was a test of sort for them

[smashman98]

Damn straight. To be fair SOTC was next level amazing, but they have always done quality work.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Calling it? Or just wishing for it like me? Lol.

[smashman98]

Lol you got me!

[smashman98]

Let me further speculate that This will be a launch window title for the ps5.

[indysurfn]

My thoughts exactly. The JRPG train has started coming back big time. Sony is not going to miss a train they helped build.

[rainslacker]

A full remake, or sequel, for the launch window of PS5 would be huge. Wish the days of big RPG's being a thing would make a come back. Right now, about all we get is Final Fantasy for big marketed titles.

I'd still kill for a proper Wild Arms. A reboot of the franchise would be awesome.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

This would quite literally make my dream come true. Please make it happen!!

[WeAreLegion]

He didn't tease it. Good God. Who approved this?

[neutralgamer1992]

It's gonna happen there I confirmed it thank me later

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

No f***ing way!!

[neutralgamer1992]

Wait for reveal of Ps5 and E3 2020

No one including myself is ready for what they have in store

[Kiwi66]

Ahh the good old "wait til e3" has made a comeback, thought that was a joke around here

[neutralgamer1992]

Just wait and see when I said no one I do mean no one is ready for what they have in store

Think of ps1 games or ps2 that never made a comeback on ps3-4 many of those will get remake treatments than new entries

Also BC with ps4 yes but you bets believe Sony is throwing a lot of resources behind ps3 BC being possible on Ps5 out of the box

They understand the impact they made at reveal and at E3 now they are bringing the hammer down. Say whatever you want but go back and watch the moment when they revealed FF7 remake and shenmue 3 and see how gamers lost it

They have more than few announcements planned which gamers will simply lose it and that in itself will over shadow anything ms may do or bring

[indysurfn]

@Kiwi66 the "wait til e3" joke. Is for Microsoft trying to convince people they will have big AAA exvclusives coming. Not Sony, and Not Nintendo.

[BlaqMagiq1]

I hope Sony buys Bluepoint. They've made Sony's past games exponentially better.

[King Nezz]

Underrated game. After winning a battle, the dun dun, dun dun, dun dun effects were catchy. Always stuck with me. If it happens, change the voices. Volcano and double slash, talking to YOU!

[no_more_heroes]

Before this game, I never understood or liked the concept of turn-based RPG gameplay. It showed me how enjoyable it could be. I would LOVE a remaster; better would be a remake, but beggars can't be choosers.

Should they keep the over-the-top cheesy voice acting though? Part of me wants the nostalgia and the other part can do without it 😂

[indysurfn]

Over-the-top I say!

[samri_one]

Don't do this to me. Aside from the FF7 remake, this is the only other game that would make me cry tears of joy if it gets announced.

[StormLegend]

Never seen or played it but so many people are excited for this. I'll definitely have to pick it up if true! A good game deserves my money.

[indysurfn]

Lots of people bought Final Fantasy VII and THIS game Used. So there may be more fans than we think. I remember asking EB games if they had a used copy and both sales people said, I don't know why every other customer wants just that game used it sucked. (It didn't you had to be patient with the load times sometimes 30 seconds for a battle to start).

[Elda]

If true that would be nice!!

[jznrpg]

Squirt

[indysurfn]

ROFL what? LOL

[Segata]

It needs a full-on remake. Not just a remaster.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Agreed

[autobotdan]

Yes!!! I will purchase this first day!

[Relientk77]

We need Legend of Dragoon back, ASAP!

[AK91]

I thought they were working on Demon Souls Graphical Remaster :(

[NiteX]

I remember watching my friend play that game, never played it much myself. Would love to see it remade though.

[Knightofelemia]

Hope the remaster sells well if it pans out I really want a LoD2 on PS5

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Please be real

[XxSPIDEYxX]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Don't you dare tease us like this. Could've sworn Shuhei said the series was never making a return. I really hope this is real with all the incredible remake/remaster hype going on lately.

[Imortus_san]

Nã, it never came close to Final Fantasy standards, just pick Wild Arms.

[Mylove1516]

A dream come true.

[Kostche]

O.......M..........F.......... .G YESsss please....................

[bluefox755]

Cool.

[ThatGuyDart]

BRUH. DON'T FUCKING PLAY WITH MY HEART

[DarXyde]

DON'T PLAY WITH ME, DALTON

[on_line_forever]

Remaster No No

Remake Yes Yes

[bloodyspasm]

While I would very much like to see it happen, a tweet asking someone "do you like this game" and a reply that is little more than "yes, I love it" is hardly a tease for a remaster...

[Juusterey]

Read article
Then comment
Never skip step 1

[bloodyspasm]

I did read the article. There is no interview or confirmation. Just speculation based on two tweets. I'm not saying this won't be happening, but Peter is by no means "Teasing Legend of Dragoon Remaster" He picked his words carefully to not confirm or deny anything.

[Juusterey]

Perhaps announced officially at this?

[Majin-vegeta]

I mean how many of us are ready for HD death of *ahem* again?

[deadfrag]

People need to understand that BLUEPOINT is not for SALE! THEY WANT TO BE INDEPENDENTE,ITS WELL KNOWN!

[Majin-vegeta]

So was insomiac...yet here we are

[NobleRed]

Bring Back Socom II with online mp.

[Shiro173]

No freaking way! I have been asking for this for ages

[Exvalos]

Promise I'm making to you all, if Sony wont give us Legend of Dragoon 2 or a remaster I will be making this game in dreams with a dedicated team. So yes, legend of dragoon is returning one way or another.

[Obscure_Observer]

HELL YES!!! This is AWESOME news!!! DAY ONE ON PS5!!!

[covcha]

PLEASE!!!

[EliteComments123]

Remake Plz

[Pyroxfaglover]

Incredible game,.. But how do you remaster game like that actually,.. Don't even know how I would remake it (because I would not want to change the gameplay at all)

[deno]

About time. I used to play this like crazy on my Playstation back in the 90s.

[senorfartcushion]

O.....oh. should have been Syphon Filter. Cowards!

[Lilrizky]

If they are, it's definitely not the project they're currently working on judging by the wording of the response.

[RavenWolfx]

Don't you fucking tease me.

[Spenok]

Oh good God, if this is just a trolling tease I'm going to cry.

This is one of the few games that not only deserves, but NEEDS a remake...

And a proper sequel.
