Athough PDS has not been copied directly I have seen it influencing many other games, and the new game Drakengard looks as if it has been insipred/plagiarised (depending on your veiwpoint) by PDS.
But your right a new Panzer Dragoon RPG would be very good, and sucessful, if done right.
Thatâs the Japanese name for Drakengard Trust Squaresoft to copy an idea (like they copied Dragon Warrior) but anyway thats OT.
I wouldnât say it would elevate the series: shoot 'em up style games have always been more popular. Having said that I personailly thought PDS was had the best gameplay out of any Panzer game, so its a possibility.
Well, are U sure? I mean REAL old school shooters like panzer or Ikaruga are not as popular as they used to be in the 90âsâŚI would definetely state that there is a wider audience for RPGs nowâŚ
I think the next game will be amazing. The chances of it taking a few years to fully complete are high as well unless the whole of Smilebit works on it.
Itâll either be amazing or an utter flop. So no pressure Abadd =)
I donât think Orta wasnt as unsuccesful as people made out. There was a poll on the Gamefaqs Xbox board about favourite games, and everyone who replied to it (who had Orta) but it in their top 5 Xbox games. Thats some achievement surely? We tend to think it is a more niche series because this is a small community which gives out that impression.

I wonder what the sales figures for Panzer Dragoon Orta are to date? Sales are everything when it comes to convincing companies to give a sequel the go ahead.
And if youâre hoping to relive Panzer Dragoon Saga, then yes, the next RPG will probably be a big disapointment.
Iâm not hoping to relieve Saga. Thatâd be a disaster in terms of the series IMO. We need something more fitting into the new style, as much as i hate it.
