Panzer Dragoon II Zwei: Remake Coming This Year
- Thread starter Zor
- Start date
*Ah, this year! Nice!
Zwei is a game I feel more passionately than the original nowadays; there's a specific quiet moment in the game, the first glide, that has stuck with me for years. I really hope the dev team doesn't go overboard with additional visuals this time around, moments like that worked so well with the original—more muted—style and I worry that the visuals shown in the PD remake would clash with that.
If the original Zwei was out there in its original form I'd be more open to changes, a shame there isn't even a port within Orta to maintain that legacy.

Hope they take it more seriously than the last game. Zwei is held up to much higher standards than the original.
I wonder if that might be too ambitous, but it'll be so great to get the 'Saturn's ff vii', the source code is lost.
Would be good for other platforms. On xbox it's already enhanced and glorious
Aside from a ~4k version on Xbox through Backwards Compatibility, no.
Less than an hour long, basically.
Also the special unlockable modes you could play through the game as DID NOT count towards the achievement. Terrible.
Give. Now.
I'm sure there were financial reasons but releasing Panzer Dragoon and Zwei together in one package would have gone over so much better. I'm just glad the game's alive and Panzer Dragoon's got a little foothold to take off again.
It's BC on Xbox.

Hell yes!
Hopefully they don't shadowdrop it like they did with the PD1 remake, though. Getting the OT up for that one in a hurry based on a bunch of scattered drafts of sections I had lying around was a big mess.

It's actually just "Panzer Dragoon Zwei"; the "II" is there for people less familiar with German :P
Never officially ported, but it's available digitally on Xbox 360 and up. It looks incredible on a One X; many find it difficult to believe it was an OG Xbox game.
Oh nice! I just got the remake of the original during an eShop sale and I have really been enjoying it, though I have never played the original. I was hoping the iffy reception the remake got at launch wouldn't stop them from remaking other games in the series.
I swear to gd that gametap back in the day almost got it running. Probably emulator. Should ask frank Cifaldi
everyone pls get on twitter and ask them to include the original version as an unlock, orta-style, thank you
edit: actually pls just include the original version without unlock, that would be great, thx

When you can put onto the game disk that you've created the greatest 3D shooter and no one can argue against your spitting hot facts.
Good news, the original director of Saga dropped some hints that it may have been found.

This makes me sooo happy!
4K is all it needs though, it still looks and plays so amazing!

If the Zwei remake would aim for this style, ah, that'd be the dream.
Nice!
It's a retro game without a save system, designed to be beaten in one sitting. Yeah....
Neat! That first one was a little rough around the edges, but I imagine they've learned a lot since.
What's wrong with the first remake? Wasn't it patched?
I'm asking cause I have it on my whish list for xbox
Hmm, sounds like not a lot of people here stuck around for the patches to the Panzer 1 remake; it got quite a bit better post-v1.3. At least those who ordered the physical version got a good first impression...
The first remake was profitable from Switch sales alone, so the Zwei remake's future has been locked in for a while. ;)
It's been significantly patched with smoother aiming controls, better animations for the dragon (it had this really exaggerated heave to its flight that was probably there to give it some weight but was really distracting) and performance updates.
Zwei is a rail shooter masterpiece. I have a bad feeling it won't be a success like the first remake though...hope I'm wrong. I want the series to continue (my fave SEGA IP next to Yakuza, Shinobi and Shenmue).
The first one was so close to the originals game design that i wasnt shure why a remake and not just porting. (im simply not a fan og remakes, i prefere reinterpretations)
It definitely did not have enough content for the original price., and the new controls where ... not as good as the original ones.
With that said im curious about the other 2 (Zwei and Saga), so i'll watch them...

Well...a 15 hour emo adventure soudns about 10 times better than an 60 hour rpg.
I don't care if they remake it in a cave with a box of scraps, anything that lets me finally experience Saga I'll take.
