Smilebit’s Phantom Dust is definately one of them coming to xbox… but a more interesting question remains… What are the others?..
Your guess is as good as mine…
Aren’t Smilebit only making sport games now? Maybe most of them are sport titles.
Even if they are wanting to make a new PD game, Orta was released in 2003, it’s too early to make a new game. Maybe in 2005, the year-of-the-dragon… 
But my bet is that eventually they will make a new PD game. The series is universally acclaimed and, though it was never a huge blockbuster, they made the games anyway. I think that someone inside Sega should just love it
Smilesbit isn’t making Phanton Dust- Microsoft Japan is.
Yukio Futatsugi, who worked on panzer games, is producing it. Anyone remember what exactly he did on Panzer? I don’t have a credits list handy…
Man, I figured that if any one group of people on the planet could remember that all the non-sports game members of Smilebit merged with Amusement Vision, it’d be this group.
It’s no longer Smilebit, people… It’s Amusement Vision 
And no, they’re not making Phantom Dust.
I’m glad Sega hasn’t abandoned the Xbox. Still, we’ll all need to learn how to be patient when it comes to the continuation of certain titles.
I’m merely speculating here but the fact that many of the people working at Amusement Vision, primarily the former Smilebit teams, have a great deal of experience developing games for the Xbox is probably why the Sega subsidiary is keen to support Microsoft’s console.
We still have to buy a Playstation 2 if we want to play NightShade and Virtua Fighter 4. We hardcore fans keep waiting for Sega to make the games we dream about even though we’ll probably be waiting forever in the case of Shenmue and perhaps Panzer Dragoon.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Sorry people… I thought Smilebit was doing Phantom Dust.
Anyway I think a new Panzer RPG is still not totally out of the question…
For a game like Shenmue I recalled AM2 had the help of many other companies like Ancient and the other Sega teams…etc
Isn’t it possible that Amusement Vision and Smilebit are working on a new Panzer RPG together?
Well, to be totally honest, there is no doubt in my mind that we will see another Panzer Dragoon RPG. It simply has one of the greatest universes ever crafted, and Sega knows it. At this point in time, they’re probably looking over their next-gen options, which is going to be tough because all of the next-gen systems are going to be quite powerful. It would be nice to see a Panzer Dragoon launch title though - just like back in the Saturn days.

Smilebit ONLY does sports now. All that is left of Smilebit is the sports team. The rest of the people joined Amusement Vision.
Therefore, there’d be no reason for Smilebit and Amusement Vision to work “together” on a new Panzer game. Amusement Vision could just create one on their own.

Panzer Dragoon Olympics. Choose your athlete from a number of human characters from the Panzer Dragoon series and compete in dragon based events. Secret features include: Blooper scenes, secret characters and the ability to play as a monster! Coming to your console: never.
Arcie’s just doing that to get under my skin, aren’t ya Arcie?

Well, to be honest, I would rather have Overworks be the one to create the next Panzer Dragoon RPG, considering the ‘other’ half of the Team Andromeda members are located there (something which isn’t pointed out too often). The Overworks members were the ones who created the original Phantasy Star series (not PSO) and Skies of Arcadia - I think they could definitely pull it off better than anyone else, personally.
Yeah I never heard fo that.Overworks is it…
Overworks? Um… Sure. Why not? They could do somethin’ good couldn’t they? Trust they could. Just hope another RPG maker (Square Enix) doesn’t get a hold of it and try to make an RPG outta it. It’ll ruin the Panzer Dragoon name!
As for Smilebit making sports games only… Hehehehe… Panzer Dragoon Soccer. Now * that * is something I would like to see…
Overworks was also the team that made Shinobi. They also do the Sakura Wars series. Skies of Arcadia is what made most of their fans, though.
They’re a part of Wow Entertainment now… but they’re called “Sega Wow” now.
It wasn’t so much that the “other half” of Team Andromeda went to Overworks… a few of the people did. TA got scattered everywhere, so to be honest, almost every team could claim that they have “members of TA.” Not that that means anything to anyone outside of Panzer fans…
The ex-Smilebit team that made PDO was where the highest concentration of TA people went, though.
Who was the Director of the three Saturn games?
What about the Director of Orta?
Same person?

Same person?[/quote]
I really don’t think so.
Remember the official SOA orta site? in the history section they said TA went to a shrine to get purified because of the death of a team member…
Yeah I remember, but I think I heard something about ti not beeing a lead member.I could be absolutely wrong tho.
I probably am.
So what Abadd is saying is most of the old orginal Panzer dragoon team members are making soccer games…
How come nobody has ever posted a credit list of Panzer games? Saga is kind of hard, but Zwei, Orta, and PD1 should be pretty easy…
I thought that by saying only Sports teams are left in Smilebit now and the rest went to AV, he meant that the Panzer team members are in AV now therefor that’s why AV could create their own Panzer game without help from the current Smilebit…
That’s why in the next post he calls them “ex-Smilebit members”, cos they are not in Smilebit anymore… right?
Okay… I feel my first headache of the day coming on…
… Ow…
