Scary thing is I wouldn't put any of that past EA.

Or any other modern gaming company for that matter (well, except Nintendo cause they usually don't do any of that nonsense).

As if EA would somehow do more harm to it than Sega has.

Wait, you mean more than just blatantly ignoring it for 10 years?  ;)

10 years of nothing and a mediocre Xbox game.

I'm not forgetting Outrun, I was just referring to Panzer Dragoon. Outrun 2, Outrun Cost 2 Coast, etc...the game is HEAVEN. Total magic.

I think that Panzer Orta is older than 10 years old at this point.......  And I actually enjoyed it.  Sure, it's probably the 4th most fun PD game available, but it's not like it was awful.

I have heard nothing but good things about it. I have been meaning to pick it up but never have.

I recall it being decent, but I also regretted spending full price on it when it was new.

Man, my heart dropped for a sec but then I remembered it was April Fools as well. 

I also liked Orta, it was an interesting continuation of part of the story from Saga.

I think Sega picked up developer's "Smilebit" almost just to put out another Panzer Dragoon game.  IMO, Panzer Orta, Jet Set Radio and GunValkyrie are all pretty good overlooked games on the Xbox.
