[DangerMouse]

Time to play the best game ever again hopefully in 4k this time

Yup, great game. This is unexpected but awesome. Will replay.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I will purchase this the day it goes up for sale on Steam.

 

[Zarx]

Day one

 

[Char Aznable]

awwwww yeah .....time to double dip

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

And with one swift strike, my Sega boycott ends. Well played Sega, well played.

Seriously can't believe this though, I'm more shocked than FF13 pc. Somebody hold me

 

[Laws00]

hur rah!~

Gah, speaking of boycotts, this isn't going to get the kind of attention it deserves since TotalBiscuit has been on a permanent Sega boycott ever since Sega of Japan got overzealous with copyright claims a few years ago.

If Persona series getting same treatment, I don't think my poor heart can take it.

Before we get carried away, just remember to hit this baby

the moment you see it rather than wait for this SOB

to pop up, because as any VC vet knows, that didn't do well for the franchise's future back then.

The franchise is dead, so I'm not in a particular hurry to re-purchase the game on the PC. However, if they make vague promises of a Valkyria Chronicles 3 localization if this port is successful, then my stance would change completely.

 

[Mechazawa]

FUCK THAT WHERES VANQUISH.

Spoiler

Will buy.

 

[dorkkaos]

Could this mean other Sega games coming as well????

Maybe vc2 anD 3 coming???

 

[jcm]

They just shouldn't expect it to play as well as XCOM.

I liked VC so much more than XCOM:EU. In fact, I thought of XCOM as a poor man's VC.

Keeping hoping

and buying

Well, with an attitude like that...

Definitely will. Still hoping for pso2 lol

Vanquished as well as others

 

[Jarmel]

VC1 with mods and new maps would be amazing.

That reminds me, I need to finish VC3 one of these days.

A reliable source has indicated that continuing to support the petition will likely result in the release of the following games on Steam: Vanquish, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown and Bayonetta.

 

[kinn]

This is amazing news! Thank you Sega!


Sorry if this has been covered already but...

Didn't Durante make Sega an offer to port this? Wonder if he's involved maybe?
I hope Sega doesn't base their decision to port other games on VC sales alone. It's kind of a niche title IMHO. But then again let's hope it's better suited to PC.

 

[leatherhat]

I bought it day one on ps3, Ill buy it day one on PC in hopes its sparks SEGA to revive the franchise, or at least give us an HD collection with 3 in it.

 

[jackdoe]

Well, with an attitude like that...

Hey, I bought the game on the PS3 at launch so I did my part.

 

[Haunted]

3 is supposed to be a return-to-form, although I still haven't gotten around to playing it myself.

That sounds promising!

certified pls, what do you take me for?


75% or bust.

Nope, but I wonder if his offer made them reveal Valkyria Chronicles first if they have more in the pipeline.

All things considered, don't PEGI ratings only usually come around close to release? Assuming that, this PC port was probably already being worked on well before Durante made that post.

 

[Koobion]

This is incredible. I am definitely purchasing this ASAP.

I really reallllly hope this does well enough to keep this trend going. It feels like a PC gaming uprise, and it's only just beginning.

Does anybody else get all giddy when titles like this come to PC?

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Yes please I'll have all of those thank you very much, plus any others that happen along.

 

[rockman zx]

Big surprise, they should release it in PS4 and Xbox1 too.

[Orthogonal]

I can't believe the news. This is amazing, I thought it would never happen. This was the game that got me to buy a PS3.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Oh shit.

I am in.

 

[Thoraxes]

Holy shit.

Will buy.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Seeing this announcement is bringing back a lot of memories of this game.

My chest still gets heavy when I think about the ending and a bunch of other moments throughout the game.

I definitely recommend this to anyone who's interested in turn based strategy games with real time elements.

Valkyria Chronicles gameplay, story, aesthetic and music are something that I think a lot more people should experience.

 

[Basileus777]

Scout rushing still requires some amount of planning and strategy, however little. In XCOM you could get though plenty of the random maps just by having two Squad Sight-ed Snipers overwatch and leave the rest to them. It's also not really optimal if you're not killing all the special units that award you weapons and extra rank, but I guess that's splitting hairs if you're still getting rank A.

Again, most of this is solved in the DLC ex-hard maps: no orders, no tank and interception fire kills just about anything in a couple of seconds. Hopefully they can work on a similar rebalance for the main game.

I never bothered with the hard mode DLC because I didn't find the base game compelling enough to continue, but that's still extra content that doesn't change how most of the game plays. I don't really see Sega making design or balance changes to this port.

 

[Ultimadrago]

This means we'll get a VC4 with reell gr-fx, rite gaiz?

 

[Durask]

Will rebuy just to support the game - not sure whether I'll actually play it. Sorta like Legend of Herors - Trails in the Sky that I bought and never even installed.

BTW, VC2 was disappointing but VC3 (which I played on PC on an emulator + translation patch) is very very good IMHO.

I think they should port VC3 to PC despite PSP level graphics.

Just make a proper sequel and call it Valkyria Chronicles 2.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Oh shit, will rebuy day one, first bit of good news out of Sega in a long time. Hopefully this well get some success on PC and ultimately get us the calibre of sequel this game deserves.
Waiting for the Yakuza series to make the leap now, I'll happily buy those again too.

[Durask]

They could remake VC3 with bigger maps and that would be good enough for now.

Jumping between tiny maps on PSP was annoying (for those who did not play VC2 or VC3, because of PSP limitations maps were split into little maps joined by junction points).

 

[matrix-cat]

Money will change hands as soon as the Steam page goes live.

 

[Rhaxas]

This was my favorite game on PS3. Will definitely purchase on PC

I feel a bit guilty for waiting for both this and Vanquish to be pretty heavily discounted before buying them. Both were worth more than what I paid for them.

 

[Strike]

Sega finally remembers that Valkyria Chronicles exists.

I'll grab it if the port is good and the price is right.

What are the odds that Durante is going to have to make a patch for this?

 

[butman]

YES YES YES!

 

[Mr Git]

Fantastic! Will double dip with bells on.

 

[demosthenes]

My money. Sega has it.

edit: Not when it's on sale. I mean the second it appears on Steam, I will buy it.

Fuck it, buying VC 20 times.

 

[oneida]

Can I sign again? I want to sign again.

Tell your buddies they should sign, and your not buddies who you think have computers.

 

[Crash Station]

Oh cool. I had heard the series wasn't done in the west, but this I was not expecting.

 

[Nightengale]

That would be great.

VC3 was a game worthy of its IP. It deserved a full fledged remake.
