Huge props to Borman for covering this at GDC. The panel is not being streamed but will eventually go up in the GDC vault, though for folk missing out these glimpses at the presentation are tantalising.

Full thread kicks off here.

I know 1 and 2 are getting remasters. I really hope Saga gets one as well because right now the only way would be for me to fork 800 for a pal/US copy on saturn

Can't wait to watch the video. Makes sense that SEGA's internal devs would be both impressed and scared of the PlayStation's capabilities. Of all the early Saturn games, Panzer Dragoon was certainly one of the most visually pleasing.

They can't port them without the source code though.

we've heard this for years, yet Saturn emulation has been solid for quite a while now
it's a lack of inclination at this point

yeah I'm still quite pleased at these 2 classics finally being ported (swear to god, orta over component cables is great as it is) but even in a reality where shnemoo 3 is coming, i still need to see more of these to believe!

I still remember seeing Panzer Dragoon 1 for the first time on some TV show and thinking to myself "Wow, it looks like real water" during that first stage. It absolutely blew my mind back then. Maybe the graphics are slightly less impressive in 2019 but that first level when I finally got around to playing it is one of the most epic moments I've experienced in gaming. The music for the stage is perfect too.

One of my favorite series of all time. Anything involving the making of the games is always appreciated.
