If you find yourself on Draco, surrounded by dragons and the horrible Crimsonscale virus, then you’ll undoubtedly want to bring your own dragon in to the mix. The Bloodskin, which is the first dragon you’ll encounter on Draco, is more than ready to help you push through Crimson Dragon’s story:

This is still the only launch game between the two systems that I feel like I have to have.

So it's a shame I'm waiting for a Kinectless XBone :(
 
this will be a nice treat to myself in dec/jan.

did they change the dragon and rider a bit? looks a lot more cartoony then i remember. less panzer dragoon too.
 
I think human-like arms look weird on the dragons, but it's hard not to be influenced by the original Panzer Dragoon when judging it. Anyway, the charm is more in the environments.
 
"did they change the dragon and rider a bit? looks a lot more cartoony then i remember. less panzer dragoon too."


From what I remember from information about the game leading up to the 360 release, there's actually many different dragon forms and a part of the gameplay is leveling up your dragon and evolving it to various forms. In short, it's only one dragon of many.
 
Really want to see how the evolutions stuff works. Love the livestream info. Sounds like plenty of replay in there for finding the evolution drops and loot. probably a Day One for me!
 
Will this be 1080p?

Looks very sharp, might as well be.

Correcto.
 
The graphics are...pretty bad...lets be realistic here. This doesn't look next gen at all.

I saw the game in person (albeit briefly.). Screens don't justify it.

the character design is terrible..I want Panzer Dragoon back..but this?

Elaborate on character design? Because the dragons are a straight rip from Dragoon.

Can't wait to try this. Though i can't help but feel these aren't the series original art directors.

There hasn't been a specific lead art director for a Dragoon game since it's inception.
 
Not exactly. Most dragons in PD had bat-like wings, ie fused with their arms.

Dragons in CD have separate arms and wings.

I think I need to stop thinking about this as a spiritual successor and just a game with dragons, I'm not getting any PD feels whatsoever, but it may not be their intention to mine that rich history, if people are happy with what they're seeing , that's fine.

I think you are giving it too much of a hard time for a weird reason.
Would you be more happy withut any PD style games? If this is succesfull, we might see more of those.
