I know this stuff has been around, so I apologise in advance for regurgitating any information -
Has extra piccies and the release date as the 27/04
According to the tect above it, there is both an original mode and the enchanced mode, so if you really can’t stand anything they’ve changed in the remake you can always go back to the old one 
Ah, I was wondering when SoJ would get a homepage for the game up, thanks for posting that Kimimi.
I think those are the first good-quality screenshots that have been relesed to date (!), though the stuff in them does appear to be the same as in the PD1 we know, except the models for the dragon and Kyle, of course.
Random observation: the top-left pic seems to show the Saturn Kyle model sitting on the “new” dragon, whereas the other three shots show a new Kyle model. Probably from an earlier stage in development…
That’s some freakishly good eyesight you have there Lance… 
To be honest, the design work was so good throught PD that they didn’t really need to change anything, just polish it up a bit. Which it seems is exactly what they did. 
Hmmm…to tell you the truth I wished for more remodelling…The other objects do look a lot different than kyle/dragon.
Well we have only seen so much so far, I’m hoping that there might be a few surprises in terms of other objects that have been enhaced that we haven’t seen yet.
The desert grounds looks higher res, especially how the wind tunnel hooks up. But maybe just the screens are so small they just look more detailed.
If it was between this and goofing them up like other Sega Ages, then I choose this …
Kind of lame both Xbox + Ps2 now have a version of PD1- when are we going to get Zwei or Saga?
They need to do a Panzer Collection on PSP …
Yeah a remake of Saga or Zwei would be very awesome. It’s a pitty I don’t think we are going to ever get it though based on the direction sega seems to be taking.
I know the pack released in America was crap. Golden Axe makes me cry, and I’d say the only redeeming feature for it would be Virtua Racing. They really have got unbelieveably better though - nigh on arcade perfect versions of Winter Heat/Decathelte/Virtua Athlete (all on one disc), completely enhanced versions of Phantasy Star 1 & 2, tons of extras in Dragon Force…
I know the only taste non-Japanese gamers have had is poor, but the Sega Ages label is so much better than that, and I wish they’d do a proper compliation so people could see!
I didn’t notice until you said that, but the ground does look quite different - comparing it with the original, it looks like the texture has been redrawn:

The tornado itself is less transparent- “thickier”- it looks good, I wonder if it blocks visibilty …
new article on it:
“It looks like it’s basically a straight port with a nice amount of anti-aliasing and possibly some light textures. If you’ve played the original Saturn game, you have to admit there are a lot of jaggies and the anti-aliasing is needed a great deal.”

Ouch. I’m not sure about touching Saga. I would like to see it out and about and for people to actually experience it…as it’s a purely brilliant game, but I just…wouldn’t want them tampering with it and screwing it up.
I dunno…maybe I just like that ‘old’ feel it has too it?
I agree, of all PD games I would like to see Zwei redone, or just rereleased in a compilation without any touch up. Thats the only one I have yet to experience.
Having never played Saga, I’d be pretty keen on a proposal of re-releasing it, as would thousands of others I would imagine if it was publisesd enough. Sega owe it to themselves to let it bring in some revenue.

I’d be ok with as long as any changes they made were just to update the graphics, more detail etc. I don’t really think it would work trying to add anything else in.
Oh except I’d like to see the various mistakes in translations fixed though - the gamefaqs.com guide on saga mentions a few mistakes like some floors on the tower being mislabeled.
I’d like to see a hard mode as an optional extra - I always thought it was strange how you could slepp-walk through Saga, when the others could be so difficult.
