Valkyria Chronicles-like gameplay? So freaking sold.

SRPG

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

So Intelligent Systems is doing their take on Valkyria Chronicles which is set in Steampunk London where you're part of an alien hunting squad created by Abraham Lincoln?

This is pretty much the greatest idea ever.

 

[Niraj]

Can't wait for them to show this off in the Treehouse stream tomorrow.

 

[Haines]

Sounds cool to me. I wanna see gameplay

 

[chadboban]

Can't wait to see more. Fire Emblem was in my top 3 last year, Holy Crap this sounds good!

 

[georly]

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but I learned to like fire emblem. I'll try valkyria chronicles and see how I like it! Hope gameplay delivers tomorrow. Can't say that 'strategy' as a genre gets me that pumped up, though. Eagerly awaiting what comes!

 

[ChaosAngel]

Valkyria Chronicles = Top 5 favorite games of all time
Intelligent Systems = Favorite Developer of all time

...this is too much.

 

[Kyou]

Cue people complaining of nintendo doing new IPs.

Ugh why can't Nintendo announce some more Mario games. They are so out of touch.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Intelligent Systems + Valkyria Chronicles gameplay + Steampunk = ZOMGHYPE

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Can't wait to see this tomorrow.

Yeah but we a need a trailer right now.

 

[NotDreamcast]

I really want to see Lincoln Chronicles in action now.

 

[names2hard4you]

I was joking around saying that it was gonna be advance wars (man can dream) but after all of this info came in, it's safe to say this is even better than that. GIMME.

 

[Mik317]

Will wait to see the artstyle

Spoiler

( and waifus)

 

[ramoisdead]

2015 is going to be an awesome year for Nintendo. Where can I preorder my Ninty steampunk VC game?

The game presentation reminds me of Valkyre Chronicles

YO HE TYPED IT TWICE TO UNDERLINE IT!

 

[Cuburt]

This sounds awesome! Do we get to see the conference later?

We might get a trailer after the roundtable like the Pacman trailer last night. Then lots of in-depth coverage at the Treehouse stream tomorrow, they already confirmed.

 

[dkeane]

NEED SCREENS!

 

[pariah164]

aaaaaaah this is too good.

NINTY, DROPPIN BOMBS.

 

[Incandenza]

Sounds fantastic.

 

[daydream]

Wasn't E.X. Troopers similar to this?

 

[Riposte]

Please don't be ugly.

 

[Amikami]

I am so hyped. Can't wait to see this tomorrow.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I want to see the artstyle of this game.

 

[Immaculate]

Give me a trailer at least Nintendo goddamn

 

[Puru]

Time to wait for some gameplay but it could be interesting.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Did they say what time the stream for this is tomorrow?

 

[-PXG-]

Touchscreen aim, ewww....

Ummm....that's like using a fucking MOUSE, but even more precise and intuitive. Whats wrong with you?

*slaps*

 

[SykoTech]

So wait. I'm watching Valkyria Chronicles footage on YouTube, and it looks EXACTLY like what's being described.

Should be hunting down a copy to play instead.

 

[DracoBlade]

Okay this is VC4

 

[Shaanyboi]

This is all I want. THIS IS ALL I WANT

HOLY FUCK.

Spoiler

Kinda wish it was on WiiU

 

[Mariolee]

"Players control unit Steam, elite fighting force put together by President Lincoln."

Oh, and to fight aliens.

Not since Persona 3 have I heard a premise so simultaneously bonkers and ball-tinglingly intriguing.

Seriously, read that goddamn premise.

Why is it always Lincoln though? Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Lincoln in Conduit 2, Lincoln in Smash Bros?

I want to see George W. Bush get some action! Have a painting mechanic or something.

 

[Kaldea]

If it plays like Valkyria Chronicles, I'm in.

 

[polyh3dron]

New Nintendo IP huh..

So this will be delayed and become Star Fox RTS?

 

[stupei]

All the Valkyria Chronicles sequels really are on handhelds...

 

[Velcro Fly]

touchscreen aim

come on

 

[Chaos17]

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Nintendo: we don't pay attention to what our competitors do. Except when they make games we want to copy.

:/

 

[Jurassic Munson]

When do we get a trailer?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

LIMITED MOVEMENT!

 

[scy]

"well for one, it isn't a dead series."

BA DUM BUM! I'm here all night folks!!

I'm torn between laughing and crying.

I'll just do both.

 

[Basileus777]

It'll be interesting to see a take on Valkryia Chronicles by a team that knows how to design strategy games.

Please don't be ugly.

It's a 3DS game.

 

[Vibranium]

Holy cow, sounds awesome. And Intelligent Systems makes it even better.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

What are Ice T and Elijah Wood's roles, voice actors?

 

[Oxn]

Nintendo stays copying Sega

 

[Barrylocke]

Hope you can turn the hints off.

 

[Kensuke]

Pretty weird how they are presenting this as a completely new solution to SRPG's. The descriptions from Polygon make it sound exactly like Valkyria Chronicles.

 

[Lunar15]

oh?

In-Game Art, not character portraits. It's Takako Sakai, known for working on most FE's. Particularly rose up to prominence during the Tellius games.

 

[Axass]

I LOL at the guys hating on this because no Metroid! We'll get that as well eventually, but now it's great seeing Nintendo doing new things.

 

[victreeb3l]

Yoooo that Lincoln/Elijah/Ice T stuff wasnt just a joke now was it

 

[thecouncil]

Reading the Polygon live blog and I feel like I'm living in the past.

So I just shut it down.

Treehouse stream tomorrow will cover this a lot better.

I can wait.
