Has anyone tried it? Is it worth it?
I know people had mixed opinions on the Panzer Dragoon remake, but I actually liked it.
Which I do, my point is I would think you'd want to prioritize remaking other Sega titles for modern consoles, like Fighters Megamix, Burning Rangers, or Shining In The Holy Arc. I get HotD has the brand appeal, but like Virtua Cop if you can't come up with a better way to give people a light gun experience in 2022 you probably shouldn't give them this.To be fair, the full price is still a reduced price. It was £22.49 on Switch, reduced to £17.99 if you owned Panzer Dragoon Remake too.

I really don't see the issue with Gyro in this remake. As someone who'd use them over sticks every time in any game, the implementation seems fine. You rotate a joy-con differently than a Pro controller so you need to adjust the sensitivity and settings accordingly. But in the end, it's still Gyro aiming and not a Light Gun. If you try to use the joy-cons like it's a Light Gun, it will not work. I will also say mashing the trigger button for shooting as much as you do in this game is killer on the hands.I really like it but the Switch is just not the best platform for this type of game. Framerate is all over the place (and absolutely tanks frequently in Horde mode), Gyro is a mess (though definitely better on Pro controller), and graphically it's all over the place.
Most of these will obviously be mitigated on more powerful platforms but beyond this stuff, I think the game's a shitload of fun. I've completed it multiple times now with all routes and all scientists saved.

Yeah but this is SEGA we're talking about. They are utterly ridiculous with their IP and what they seemingly will or won't do with it, despite the obvious. I'd honestly have thought a remake of Zombie Revenge would have made more sense in this day and age with the lack of light guns being a thing.
...surely you'd approach Meta if you're Sega/Namco with a good back catalogue of light gun games? And Meta would be crazy to not bankroll some remakes/compilations.
I get the impression these are the games Forever Entertainment wanted to remake and Sega just agreed to let them do it. They don't even publish these things. It's really no indication of a overriding policy beyond the fact that if you pitch it right there's a good chance Sega will allow you to use some classic IP. If someone wanted to make Zombie Revenge they'd probably let them.Yeah but this is SEGA we're talking about.

But i'm sure that the gyro thing will be fixed for switch which in the end will be the better version if they could manage that.
Sega Ubisofting the Blue Hedgehog's best games that defined the company in the '90s sure is something.I'd certainly say that pitching and agreeing to a modern remake for a light gun rail shooter minus the actual light guns still counts as SEGA continuing to be utterly baffling with their decisions regarding their IP heh.
Why is that.
I know that there are issues with the gyro which will be the case for other platforms too unless you are getting it for pc.

Why would Switch necessarily be the better version compared to the others? Doesn't PS5 have Gyro too?
Well it will also run at (hopefully) solid 60fps without compromise like the switch
I curious to see how this plays using a mouse, but I'll wait for impressions before I buy it
Meh, still waiting for my physical Switch version. Only steam could possibly be better anyway.
I just cancelled my pre-order now that it's coming to other platforms next week. Made the Switch special edition feel a little less... special.
