Is Panzer Dragoon Orta EVER coming to Game Cube or PS2? (Even if it takes a while)

I don't see why anyone would complain or care if the game got ported to more systems so that more people could enjoy it. I hope the rumours are true and that it happens since I am not planning on getting an Xbox soon.

I would say its a big deal simply because the game is that gorgeous.

Remember it is an onrails shooter we are dealing with here.

And pretty sells nowadays.


I am by no means saying it wouldn't sell a boatload, or be fun if it was ported, I am simply saying it probably won't and also stating that I personally think it just shouldn't be.

The fact that a PS2 post existed would not make the Xbox version look any less wonderful though. And I am sure that anyone with both systems would still buy the Xbox version since it looks nicer. If I had the option I know I would without hesitation...

I just don't understand why anyone would be upset if it was ported. I mean, it's not like they would cancel the Xbox version and then make a PS2 one. That would be something to be upset about...

Oh, and Halo is awesome. :)

If it was built from the ground up for the Gamecube, yes, but a port is a whole different matter. If Orta really does delve deeply into Xbox hardware, a port would be similar to MGS2: Substance, that is a game another system should be able to run fine but doesn't because the code is too hardware specific.

If Orta has 'Only on Xbox' on the front, that means it's a timed exclusive for the foreseable future. I know JSRF was 1 year, so maybe same deal.

Xbox has a bunch of exclusive games worth getting as well as superior multi platform ones. Anyone who thinks it's a one trick pony just isn't looking hard enough, or at all.

PS Halo sucks. :p

In general, XBox exclusive games are average [...]

"In general" so are the games on every system ever made.

[...] the only semi-colorful game on the system is Blinx and even that isn't as colorful as say, Jak and Daxter.

And JSRF, and DOA3, and Crazy Taxi 3, and lots of the multi-platform games, and Cel Damage, and Egg Mania, and so on. Although honestly this is a really wierd comment coming from someone wanting Orta.

the only good port is one made with the system in mind. Which really wouldn't make it a port, would it?

Moral of the story - keep Orta where it is unless Sega's serious about making it shine on other systems.

Ahh with every post I love you more.

I couldn't have said it better, check the neo geo pocket thread.

I see nothing wrong with ports. How many arcade ports have you owned in your lifetime? Most of them were downgraded on console but were still very fun. Donkey Kong was better on my uncle's Colecovision than my Vic 20 but that didn't stop me from loving it and later on buying the Coleco version.

I think MS did the impossible and actually made the exclusive titles, ya know, exclusive, to their system for once. Good move by them since I can't even imagine how disasterous a PS2 or GC rev, to a lesser extrent, would look.

why PS2 i could understand but GC could do it graphically just fine

That's why I put that "to a lesser extent" thing there. I'd be less worried about a GC version than a PS2 version.

according to an interview with smilebit conducted by Xbox Nation magazine...No.

Not now, not ever. In fact, if it wasn't for the Xbox itself, Orta would've never seen the light of day.

:evil:
