hi everyone, it's hooper
and today i am very happy to show you a video of Panzer Dragoon, on Saturn
because it was my first 32 bit game, my first real 32 bit game
and for me it was something huge, a revolution in the sort
at the time we had was still under the 16 bit age
Then, we go directly from a 16 bit to that
I can tell you that it's been a shock
for exemple, the introduction of the game totally  hallucinating, in full 3D of course
and even, it was a intro which had rythme, awesome music, a good story
it's a big change of fighting game introduction or ordinary intro.  A evolution of game introductions
A very good introduction, with a story,  it was hallucinating
and even the game itself, which was also hallucinating
For me it was something huge this game and its why i am very happy to do this video
We'll skip intro because it takes between 6 and 7 minutes
but I advice you to go on youtube and write panzer dragoon intro, logically you will find quite easily
I really advice to see if you've ever seen, it is really worth
then of course, must be viewed in the context of the time, like every time
but I can tell you it was huge, it was really huge for the players of the time. It was awesome and i choose one's words carefully.
Good going, we will go. Listen to this music .
AH it's huge, it is huge, just the music of the title screen, I swear, I have the chills in the back. It's awesome.
So, it's a shoot em up, Panzer Dragoon, in full 3D
3 Levels of difficulty, heuu? no, we keep in normal mode
We will go but before I'm going to play you something really great.
the music of panzer dragoon is awesome, listen to the music of first level
It's really awesome, isn't it? There isn't word for describe it
I'm not saying that neither is better than the music of chrono triger or secret of mana, games that have great music for me, but it's totally  different
But there was something else, it was symphonic, it was  orchestral. Not only are the melodies are good, but it's more orchestral, impossible to do on 16 bit.
And here is huge, a music like that, it will be remembered for life. And I still remember by heart.
Whether it's the music of the intro of the game or the first level, its awesome. Others are good music too but not like this
ouch, incoming
So if I told you it's a shoot em up, panzer dragoon, quite basic: more than the episode 2
The gameplay of panzer dragoon 2 is richer . Panzer 2 its a bit like Donkey Kong Country  2. DKC 2 its a bit  of a projection of dkc1. Here, its the same thing
In fact, we are limited in a track.Everything is preset,let me explain. If i go to  the right side, at some point i will be bloqued. Same thing for the left direction, up and down.
the destination of the dragon is preset and the path is limited in the screen contrary  to panzer dragoon  2  where we can sometimes choose the path
as you can see you can lock enemies, leaving press the buttons you can lock several enemmis for ex I locked 2
loosen the pressure, there are 2 missiles that go on the enemies. That's small balls, I distanced myself
and we can do something else, then I will not do because I don't want to die. We are in normal mode and in this mode it's not so easy
Must be careful to the plant. We will go there for they dont come to us .
here i lock them, you can lock up to 8 enemies at the same time, ouhhh warning !!!
what can be done also, we can change the viewing angle.
Let me explain, by pressing the trigger once, I can look right, I can look back,one  pressure I look left and another pressure I return to the middle
there we obliged to go into the temple
ouuuuuh Watch Out !!!
this is the only thing to do, lead our dragon, pull, duck shooting, the path is preset,we advance all the time
we can't accelerate, we can't hinder, we can't choose the destination contrary to episode 2
I see my life bar is already half, see below, the blue bar.
and here we come to the first boss of the first level .
there are 6 levels with 6 boss whenever
the game is short, it's clear, we can finish the game in 1 day  even if we don't finishthe game  the first time, because from the level 4, it really starts  to be difficult .
it is clear that the game is short but it is not serious, i mean,  It was so great to have it, for a game like this in 3D, so well done
I mean, it exceeded all what  was nearby, because nearby there was still 16 bit
And there it was one of the first saturn game this panzer dragoon, it was huge to succeed to have  it, to see that you could play  has a game like that at home, pffff
It was...it is not explicable. I can't explain it , it was something so huge
The difference was much greater between a saturn and a 16 bit console over a ps2 with a ps 3 you see?
I mean, a Xbox or Xbox 360, there's a difference, certainly, but the difference at  technology at that time was much greater
It was a dream, have a saturn,  it was awesome!
also at that time I had to resell games megadrive, super nes for pay  me a saturn. At the begining, the saturn was expensive.
I bought it used with Panzer Dragoon and I can tell you that I played long hours, even if the game is short
Ah !!! here I will try to have the missile , hop, i must take care
therefore what I do is simple, I lock the flying boat , in the middle
and after I used the multiple shooting, at the hand, as in a real shoot em up.  We have to press  successively on the button
there he soon died, you see his life bar at the top, it's the red bar
I adjust shooting (?) ... he should die soon I guess. allllleeeezzz, VOILAAA
Come on, how long we have? 8 minutes. Oh good, very good, I would have time to show you the second level and maybe the boss of the second level .It's perfect.
Panzer Dragoon, for me,  is really a "coup de coeur" (favorite) this game. He is awesome.
then it's a game cult of Saturn, it must be said. It's a famous game as Panzer Dragoon 2
and Panzer Dragoon Saga, the last one to be released on saturn which is absolutly great
i had that game but I stupidly sold at this period of time
It must be said that the time when we wanted to buy other games and we hadn't much money
we were generally a bit forced to sell our old games. i did it
and i am a bit disgusted because now he is listed more than 100 euros (142 dollars today) Panzer Dragoon Saga.
It is a rpg style, original, awesome too but I probably could not  you make a video.
I pass the cinematic and I'll show you the second level
Then, there was no backup because the game is short .
At this level it not wrong with these worms, this reminds me of the "dune" movie
it's really well done. All my friends, all my friends at that time that I showed it
because everybody didn't  have a 32 bit console in 95, I can assure you they were all stunned.
At the technical level, it's so different from other consoles that really, it was awesome.
The artistic touch and visuel was sufficient to itself, you see? even if the gameplay is basic, that's for sure
I am the first to say it.
we will go here
once again, panzer dragoon 2 arrive to obviate this problem because there are a number of attacks, we can do several things
The dragon at the beginning is a baby...
the dragon at the beginning is a baby, we can't even fly. it's better, it is much more successful than the first panzer dragoon
but still there for one of the first games of the era 32 bit,I can tell you that Sega has made very strong
in fact it is the team andromeda  who made this game and it's a sega developement studio
OOoooh , fuckhead
ARRRGHHHHHHH , I lost a bit the hand.
What I can tell you others? Ah yes, the script. I didn't  talk  about the scenario.
it's quite complicated  but once again I suggest you watch the whole intro on youtube.
you type panzer dragoon, you will find quite easily
so you'll have an idea about what we're doing here, why we are on the blue dragon .
it's quite complicated especially as I don't remember totally so i don't want to say silly things
or  you go to wikipedia or a site that talks about panzer dragoon  to see a little scenario
but it's quite evolved, it has a background quite evolved for this kind of game
it's not a average scenario , it is not bad at all .
hop, hop
um, then, we have got 3 views also, I tried , Ok, that is the closer view
it's  not used much because it encroaches on our pretty sight
after we have a very distant view ...and   here, i am under fire with these species of small worms
so it's a  very  distant view,  and the normal view , no,  it's not this , this is the normal view
this is what I used all the time
now we will leave the cave and we will still be attacked by worms.They were really impressive  those worms, I remember
It was something quite enormous
I assure you really .
then of course, it's pixelated .It't a game that has aged badly anyway, I grant you.
Make a game like the first panzer dragoon nowadays, I think it would be criticize
because make a game like that with a basic gameplay, with a displacement in a track, without being able to change our path or very little
I think the testers and players will  criticize him
and it is normal, the video game has changed
but I can tell you that the time it was a real slap graphics and, even a slap  resounding for the musics like  I mentioned at the beginning
It's something absolutely  awesome , it exceeded all what was nearby
me i'm really happy to do this game. I will do also a  video of panzer dragoon 2
because he is awesome too
Good... Are they going to die this kind of worms?
Ahh, we'll turn of the other side
fuckhead
Arghhh
Good, we enjoy ourselves well, we enjoy ourselves well
I does not say that I shall cross hours and hours there...
I believe we are at the boss, ah no, not yet. There are small worms to kill
go out the dune ... ah ba, he died
we must be at the boss there
I would say it's just the ancestor of Lair,this game  though,Apart from Flying over a dragon, it resembles no more than that
It's just something stupid what I said... pay no attention to what I say
go, I'll try to beat him. Normal mode is not that easy. In easy mode It is easier because you should know that bosses are...""
OOHH NOOOOO!!! All I'm doing is a mess, I'm already dead soon...
You should know that the  boss change their attacks. the higher the level of difficulty will be high
the greater their attacks are different, and of course more attacks will hurt . It's logical
Ah ... where is he go?
You see I have a radar also on the top right. this allows me to see the displacement ...where are the monsters and all
You see there the boss is marked in orange and then logically, the monsters are marked in yellow,  this allows me to see where is he
it can see an angle of 360 degree all round the dragon in order to aim with the cursor
So here , the dragon strafe me... Ahhhh the fuckhead ...
it must succeed in reaching the species of missiles that he sends us there
see his life bar, I'm in trouble
good that does not mean that I will not beat him
ah he is on the other side, we will turn
Oh la la... it's good, I managed to have him
OOH LAA La La la
Again few blows and it will be over ... for ME
Aghhhh, I have pain to my thumbs ... aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
arh, where is he ?
ah.. but where is he ? Ah, he is on the other side..
fuckhead
I will try to lock him because there I can't do anything ... Here, like this, i feel better
Hop Hop
there, what I could tell you? I think I told you  the main because%£ after, I could almost have this motherfucker
WOAAHIIIAAAAAJH
Yes there because if I die I start at the begining  so I stop the video in fact
Ah bein I got it ... Wo la la la la..
I played well because I really didn't think have him
well I managed to have him  finally.
I'll show you the beginning of the third level and then we will stop there
then you see that at the end here, the "shoot down ratio", there are no "high scores" in this game
you see the number of enemies that I did not, 33
Depending on the number of enemies what we successfully shot down, we can gain lives
That is to say that I haven't win lives, but if I had killed the most of enemies, I could earn 1 credit =1  life (it must also know)
So now, 3rd level there, it's the night, it is good too
the fourth level, I can not show you because we haven't time, it is not bad at all, it happens entirely in a cave
it' s very fast, it' s very fast, it's really well done
we will pass by there, fuiiiiiiiiit
we'll stop there
i think...I've shown you enough
Well,  this was Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon  on saturn, one of the first game of the 32 bit era. It's not nothing, it's still something
and here, i tell you " bye bye" and at the next (See you soon)
