A remake would be cooler.

Also these screens lack the jaggies of the old game. Any news on whether the graphics have been improved?

The first virtual on game was one of my favourites, im not sure but Oratorio Tangram never made it to the Saturn did it??

I agree it would of been nice if Sega touched up the textures and lighting.

I'm pretty sure DC was the only console VO:OT made it onto (Saturn was long gone by that time, sniff).

I think the style and charm of the original would be lost if they spruced it up too much; this is more of a homage than anything else.

The Dreamcast had anti-aliasing so I don't think the game was jaggy. This version's higher res though which obviously smooths it even more. The Virtual On games were never really graphical masterpieces though like the Virtua Fighter games or most other Model 2, 3 and Naomi games, they were just fun robot fighting games that were different to most fighting games (especially 3D ones) because you had projectile weapons as well as melee attacks.

You are probably right, I would of liked some reflected surfaces, would of looked cool without spoiling the retro feel.
