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

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.

Sounds kinda like 'Oh, Munch's wouldn't be possible on anything other than XBox'

Then again, Much was so seriously overhyped and underpreformed it wasn't funny. I could see the 'wasn't possible' if Microsoft was the main fund for PDO's development.

I haven't seen the interveiw. When a company is trying to market and advertise their product to an exclusive audience, and they are speaking through a publication read (almost)exclusively by this exclusive audience then it is not unlikely that they will rub the balls of that exclusive audience in any way they see fit so that the exclusive audience will have a hardon for the exclusive product and think it is something special for them, and that Smilebit is their friend, and Smilebit is watching out for them, and Smilebit will only provide the goods for them because said exclusive audience is where its at.

Take a cold shower. Now. Seriously.

Yeah, somebody from Smilebit said Panzer would have never come back had it not been for Xbox. You are in that systems debt

They DID say the same thing to Play... when they were talking about the possibility of a GunValkyrie sequel and they said "We heard it was too hard for American gamers" and Play said it wasn't too hard, "They just suck at games."

MechDeus - Firstly, when I said "In general, XBox exclusive games are average", I meant the exclusive games on XBox versus the exclusive games on PS2 or GC. For example, Metroid Prime DESTROYS Halo in terms of visuals, fun, and exploration. Also, you don't see ANYTHING like Kingdom Hearts on XBox (even remotely close).

Secondly, when I was talking about the lack of colorful games on XBox, I meant EXCLUSIVE ones AND ones that are not fighting and driving type games. I mean do you see any COLORFUL and detailed platformers, action, action/adventure, action-RPGS, or RPGs on XBox? I think not. The closest thing to that would be Blinx and even thats not that great of a game (and its more of a puzzle game than a platformer).

Dude, why the fuck didn't you just SAY that in the first place?

... ever played Morrowind? (aka Game with the most beatiful scenery ever)

Of course. I assumed you meant only exclusive games, and that you were obviously excluding "fighting and driving type games." There's barely an audience for those those weak-ass sub-genres, and I'm pretty sure that they're not even considered to be proper "videogames" anymore. They, too, will undoubtedly fade into quiet oblivion, much like those "FPS type" games did.

That's not a very good example considering XvSF for the Saturn was very much a port.

It's also not a very good example considering the CPS2 and Saturn are very different hardware, this isn't a Naomi to DC situation here. XvsSF for Saturn just shows that quality ports can and do exist, even for less popular hardware.

I'm all for Orta on another system, I have no plans on getting an Xbox.

Thank god.

For example, Metroid Prime DESTROYS Halo in terms of visuals, fun, and exploration.

As an example that's a pretty stupid one, but for the record Halo DESTROYS (ooh, caps!) Metroid Prime in strategic combat, storyline, and multiplayer. Even if you are right about the graphics, Metroid came out a year after Halo. Halo 2 will be out a year after Metroid and will crush it in visuals. That's sort of how it works. I also have had more fun with Halo multiplayer than with Metroid single player, so I think you're wrong there too. Each of them is brilliant in their own way, they have nothing to do with each other, and they have nothing to do with Panzer Dragoon Orta.

All the Xbox hate is really unnecessary. I mean, “Is Panzer Dragoon Orta EVER coming to Game Cube or PS2? “ come on, like anyone has a clue whether or not it is. All this is is a thread dedicated to saying “I don’t have an Xbox and I’m proud!” Whatever. The only people who have any right to say anything negative about any of the systems are the people who own them. If you think you’re a more serious gamer because you want a sequel to a cult-classic but refuse to play it on an American product, wow, capital core old chap, really.
