PDO is looking impressive and should play well.

Kakuto looks alright.. I wonder how it stands up to Virtua Fighter and Tekken..

In game, aka, with health bars and what not.

There shouldn\'t be any difference between the two, but developers could beef up the graphics engine for the real time cutscenes.

Very rarely do we ever see health bars, etc in promotional screenshots.

1 and 2 were railers (which i loathe)

PD saga was an RPG (one of the finest)

those screenshots PDO look like ass
the movies were 29823 x\'s better looking

Post by: Ashford on July 24, 2002, 07:34:31 PM
Yes, PD Saga was the best RPG I ever played, until Grandia 2.

Both had innovative battle systems that weren\'t snooze fests.

Take a hint, Square.

Jesus Herman Christ. Have you seen the latest screen shots at Gamespot for Panzer Dragoon Orta? You all know that I don\'t give two shits about the X-Box. Just when I start to think that maybe I should cut them some slack I read crap like this:
"Xbox empowers game artists by giving them the technology to fulfill their creative visions as never before, creating games that blur the lines between fantasy and reality."

I know you can\'t see me right now, but I am laughing my ass off. I may need to get a new ass if I am unable to find this one later. I mean what the **** are they talking about here? Are you telling me that the guys behind Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon could not have brought their vision of a shitty brawler to life without the unimaginable power of the X-Box?

There isn\'t a single game currently made for the system that I am even slightest bit interested in playing. In fact a few months ago when hunter came out, Tycho packed up his X-Box and brought it over to my house. We played it for a bit (it\'s not half as good as zombie revenge on the Dreamcast) and then he packed it all back up and took it home. It has been sitting all packed up in it\'s box ever since. He has had absolutely no reason to even take the ****ing thing out of its box for months now. Thanks to Sega I have to actually go and buy one of these worthless ****ing systems come September. Thanks a lot Sega! What the **** did I ever do to you? I have had your back since the goddamned Master System. When all my friends were playing Mario, I was locked away in my room playing Alex Kidd. I even bought your ****ing 32x to go along with my Sega CD system. And this is how you repay me? Well you win Sega. I must have your Panzer Dragoon Orta and so I must have an X-Box. So thanks to you, in September I will walk into EBX and purchase one of those vile machines and a copy of Panzer Dragoon. The taste of bile will fill my mouth as I sign the receipt. It will take every ounce of self control I have not to wretch as I remove it from its box. It will sit next to my other consoles like a giant black monolith, a constant reminder of your betrayal and our failed union. Then I\'ll play your Panzer Dragoon, and it will be great. All will be forgiven. Once again I\'ll be eternally grateful that there is a Sega and that I am lucky enough to play your games, no matter what system they are on.

Has anybody here seen the trailer for PDO?

God damnit, those are some stunning graphics.. prolly the best on Xbox.

The gameplay looks solid as a rock, too.

I dunno.. Rastalant and pstwo would probably go nuts over it..

no pun intended :)

BTW, those pictures (from the article Chrono posted) just loaded for me... and i must say.. :laughing:

It looks stunning and if it plays as well as PD 1 or 2 then it will be worth owning...

I do have mixed impressions on that fighting game though.  Some of the screens look great, others look like crap.  What\'s with the plastic look, a new graphics style:rolleyes:

Sure, but FF will always be their flagship title and how many have there been, with the same battle system?

It took Game Arts 2 games to develop theirs, Sega 1.

The panzer dragoon orta looks sweet and so that other fighting game.

Well the only reason a game is a Final Fantasy is because they hold the same motif in every game.  That includes the battle system.  Otherwise it would be nothing but a pure cash in on the name..

BTW, did you play FFX?  I know the battle system isnt anything major, but it sure does make the fights a lot more fun :)

Also every Square RPG has a different battle system.. there are real time (Kingdom Hearts), Strategy (Tactics) Semi-Real Time (Vagrant Story) then all there different takes on turn based (Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Unlimited Saga etc. etc. etc.)

All of them have been heralded for their battle systems by some person or another (except perhaps KH because its a Zelda rip-off ;))
Title: More Panzerdragoon screen!
Post by: Ashford on July 26, 2002, 11:26:46 AM
Don\'t you get tired of the same battle system after so many games? Wouldn\'t it be a welcome change to do something new?

With new hardware should come new changes and I believe it should be more than just technical.
Title: More Panzerdragoon screen!
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on July 27, 2002, 12:16:25 AM
Final Fantasy XI = Real time battles
Kingdom Hearts = Real time battles
Every other Square game = Completely different battle system to FF

Final Fantasy has always been what its been.  FFX changed all that and upgraded the battle system.  Now with the exit of Sakaguchi-san I wouldnt be too surprised if they changed the battle system.  But the reason Final Fantasy is my favorite series is because of those idiosyncrasies (if thats the right word to use).. because of the same motif in each game.  It strikes a cord with me.  If I want another battle system, I\'ll play another RPG.  (Not necessarily by Square either :))

Looks kinda dissapointing...it seems to have some cell-shaded influence of sort... I remember PDS (despite in low-res and all) looks more enthralling than this.
Title: More Panzerdragoon screen!
Post by: Ashford on July 29, 2002, 09:51:40 AM
Have you played Panzer Dragoon Saga?
Title: More Panzerdragoon screen!
Post by: Paul on July 29, 2002, 06:44:15 PM
Yes of course, I owned the game! The graphics are more grim and realistic and it has one of the most memorable boss fight for me. There\'s one boss that sticks up the ceiling in one of the caves and no matter how hard I tried, it\'s immune to all my attacks...until I realised I have to shoot at the flowers at the caves floor and they\'ll shoot some spores upwards that hit that boss on the ceiling!!

PDS is definitely one of the most memorable RPG ever with one heck of an ingenious battle system that is not seen elsewhere!!

But in terms of quality RPGs in quantity, SQUARE is KING. And don\'t give me that crap about "not enough changes in the battle system". I\'ve played EVERY Square RPGs on the PSX(except the Saga Frontiers games and FF8....which are the only bombs ) and each game have enough battle system variant and great story to make them worthy to be in my game library.

I was not fortunate enough to play it.  But after I get myself setup with all the current consoles and computer parts and such, I plan to look into finding a Saturn and a Dreamcast (hard to find a dreamcast here!) so I can catch up on all the games I missed in my time of financial turmoil. :)
