PREVIEW -- Panzer Dragoon: Remake || PlayStation 4 Trailer



A new, remade version of the Panzer Dragoon game – true to the original, with improved graphics and controls, that suit modern gaming standards! 

Panzer Dragoon: Remake - coming to PlayStation 4!




Panzer Dragoon Remake will cost $24.99 when it releases on PS4 on September 28.
Below, you can continue to read more about the game, courtesy of an official rundown of its key features: 
  • Pilot through seven unbelievably realistic levels ranging from tropical blue ocean cities to intricate subterranean ruins. 
  • Fight the Prototype Dragon who appears together with evil giant dragonflies, frightening man-sized wasps, giant sandworms, and lethal flying battleships. 
  • Attack enemies approaching from all sides, quickly and without mercy, with improved 360-degree controls and a lock-on targeting. 


Just wow... You learn something new everyday. I had absolutely NO idea that Panzer Dragoon came to the PlayStation 2 as a direct port from the Sega Saturn via an import release.

As mentioned above in the quote from Comicbook.com, Panzer Dragoon: Remake, which was originally released earlier this year as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is coming to PlayStation 4 later this week, so keep an eye out for that.

For me personally, I doubt that I'm going to pick this up immediately at launch as I'm still sitting on Panzer Dragoon Orta that I bought for the vanilla Xbox not too long ago. I hope this sells well because Sega are sitting on a wealth of their older properties that haven't been but NEED to be re-released and remastered in some capacity for modern consoles instead of being lost in the ether for all time. 


PREVIEW -- Panzer Dragoon: Remake (Nintendo Switch & Steam)




A new, remade version of the Panzer Dragoon game – true to the original, with improved graphics and controls, that suit modern gaming standards! On a far, lone planet, you encounter two dragons awaken from the ancient times. Armed with a deadly gun from the past, and the guidance of your armored blue dragon, you must fulfill your destiny and keep the Prototype Dragon from reaching the Tower or die trying.
FEATURES
  • Pilot through seven unbelievably realistic levels ranging from tropical blue ocean cities to intricate subterranean ruins.
  • Fight the Prototype Dragon who appears together with evil giant dragonflies, frightening man - sized wasps, giant sandworms, and lethal flying battleships.
  • Attack enemies approaching from all sides, quickly and without mercy, with improved 360-degree controls and a lock-on targeting.

I'm sure someone will correct me, but the only "legal" means to revisit the original Panzer Dragoon series is to buy a Sega Saturn and all of the games on the second hand market - either ebay or Amazon, ranging from $15 to up to $1500 for the games in mint condition. Panzer Dragoon Orta (vanilla Xbox) can be purchased on the Xbox Live Arcade Marketplace for a reasonable price, but this is looking like a great reimagining of that beloved property. Panzer Dragoon has been gone long enough that a remake/reboot is firmly justified on current generation technology and/or consoles. I'm anxious to see what comes of this. I know the trailer is back from E3 2019, but I'm just now hearing about this news so yeah, I'm painfully aware of this news. The trailer is for the Switch, but Steam has the game listed for pre-order on PC as well. I haven't heard of MegaPixel Studio, but I hope they are able to deliver.
