Recently IGN released an article called 11 Retro Remakes We Need Right Now, a list of older games that they believe deserve high definition remakes. Panzer Dragoon Orta was included in the list. Here’s a sample of what Colin Campbell, IGN’s Features Editor, had to say about the game:
Ten years on, despite the seemingly ho-hum textures and the muddy backgrounds of that long-gone era, you can still feel a sense of grandeur, an adventure that’s begging to be retold with appropriate visual vim. Ultimately, Panzer Dragoon Orta is a head-swiveling thrill-ride, a place to gaze upon beauty and gasp as worlds of color whoosh by. It deserves to be made anew.
We certainly agree with Colin’s sentiment. With Panzer Dragoon Orta’s tenth anniversary approaching fast, more than enough time has passed to give the original Xbox exclusive another chance on modern day systems. As many of you will know we are going to ask Sega to do just that, which is why we’re pushing the Panzer Dragoon Revival petition right now. Colin was kind enough to retweet a link to the petition to his 4000+ followers, so we should hopefully see some new signatures.
