Hold the hell up, this looks so much better!! Crazy they tossed this one.

I’m pretty sure people I know IRL were mailed that same notice last week. Fun that this stuff can just happen any time. Ugh

PrizeFighter - Heavyweight Edition on Steam Prize Fighter - Heavyweight Edition takes you closer than a ringside seat and puts your right in the game as you're the one slugging it out with the best boxers in the world.

That modern HD remake of Prize Fighter, the FMV boxing game from Digital Pictures, came out last month. Totally flew under my radar!! Call me a prepared banned instrumental song by Link Wray, because I am ready to rumble.

Breaking full motion video Saturn news!!!!!

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Segata Sanshiro!

It's like when they have fire underwater in Spongebob.

Square shaped jewel cases for western Saturn games are now canon in RE.

New video on the Sega Saturn is live on YouTube! Even if you don't know much about the system, I hope you give at least one of these games a chance, as the Saturn has a lot of art that did not receive the recognition it deserved.

Thank you for pointing this out, that explains a lot. I am hopeful, since they have already released three patches for the demo this week alone. So they’re at least trying. Still, even if this nails controls, it’s so hard to match the majesty of playing Zwei on Saturn.

Great vid. The reticle has startup & release velocity which is why it feels floaty.

I used Open Joystick Display so that my inputs were on screen. When releasing a direction, the reticle will continue to move ~12-13 frames while the distance in each frame decreases. Try it yourself.

Panzer Dragoon I & II are really interesting examples of the difficulties of remakes - the abstraction of low-fidelity allows the game to trick your brain into seeing huge scale differences that "hi-fi" can't do without investing tons of resources & making huge changes (which these remakes can't do)

No notes. Well played.

I’m concerned about the last boss, lol

My look at the Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake demo.

youtu.be/EAIvZSmqFGU?...

Its art direction was catered to Saturn hardware, so it belongs on Saturn. Any remake is an antithesis to the original vision. Though I think the biggest problem with this remake, other than input delay and bad hit detection, is it looks more than 10 years old. It's not maximizing modern hardware.

I’m whipping something up for today, talking about the demo. It still has many problems. Very good to see they are at least trying to take fan critique seriously. But yeah… :/

This made me laugh out loud. 10/10

:)

Regarding the Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake demo: It is very worth noting that they have made many changes since the Tokyo Game Show footage dropped last year. They are listening to the fans. It's still not "there" yet. So if you have played the original, play the demo and tell Forever what you think.

We're losing Myrient to a severe lack of funds and AI making storage too expensive 😭

Not enough. Never enough.

Oh I think I got confused. Still just two. I think I played it this morning right before the second patch came out, so it’s still new to me lmao

They just released another one today lol

I largely agree, though I will give Forever this: They did make many of the recommendations fans brought up since the TGS demo footage. I feel listened to, in a sense.

(Play on Saturn if you can, but if you don’t have one, PC based Saturn emulators are good now.)

I don’t have a MiSTer but I do have a Sega Saturn. Not sure how Zwei performs on MiSTer. I know the Saturn core is good though! If this is your first time playing Zwei, I would throw on a PC and fire it up with Bizhawk or Mednafen.

The Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake demo is now out on Steam. I played it. I have thoughts. I would like to share them this Friday.

Please just play the original on Saturn or emu.
