That statement was more in reference to the quality of ports they do release, not potential business decisions.
That is why this one is so puzzling.
It fits the demographic perfectly, yet it may be one of their more difficult titles to port.

I doubt Sega's going to fuck up this port. Would be a sizable loss of good will with their PC fanbase if they broke their pattern of good PC ports on the game which is considered to be their Magnum Opus of 7th gen by many, and one of the best if not the best game on the PS3.
Really? I get framerate issues in VC1 every time that the game just has to show off all that Nvidia (PhysX primarily) middleware packed in. Which reminds me - Hope this port preserves, if not improves on the PhysX integration the original game had. Ahem, pray to god with options for it of course so that this game doesn't run worse than SR2 on rigs with AMD cards.

Aw man, I'm gonna have to double on this one. Absolutely a favorite of mine on the PS3. The only thing that held back the amazing art style was a lack of AA and 720p. This is going to look glorious on PC.
I think you need to go to the hospital.

No, just make a thread about it.

Oh, wow. Did not expect this at all.
Already own the original on PS3 (in fact, the original was the main reason I originally BOUGHT a PS3), but will buy in the hopes that this somehow leads to an official VC3 localization.

Love this news, hopefully it is a decent port.

Sega's pretty good about that. I remember Sonic Generations was like a month late, but $20 cheaper to make up for it.

Sure, I'll buy it again why not. Unless it's a poopy fart port.

I remember playing the demo and finding it interesting, will buy on Steam.

The announcement DID come rather late in the day, and most of the PC gaming news sites are European based. Give it tomorrow once the journalists are actually awake.
Here, have a port-fear from me while we're here - Watch it not use the mouse in the tactical menu and force the existing virtual-mouse to the WASD keys.

So, for starters: SO EXCITED. I will buy this ASAP.
Part of me wants to believe that SEGA didn't just port the CANVAS engine over to PC for a single game. But then the other part of me says that's exactly what happened when they made CANVAS for PS3. I have no idea if SEGA will ever bother to re-release VC2 (and 3??!?) in CANVAS on PC, as both would be a lot more work for seemingly less payoff. But then I never thought we'd ever see Valkyria Chronicles on PC.

I'll buy it at the exact moment this one is available for prebuy.
Also, you guys better NOT let this one bomb.
If this one sell well, we're going to have the other games, then more SEGA games AND Atlus games.

So Sega can give us VC on PC, but Capcom can't give us Dragon's Dogma on PC? smh
How come upset?
The reason SEGA told the PS3 community that VC would never get trophies was because they didn't want to re-open the code. Obviously with the port that wasn't the case. As a huge VC fan, it just hurts...

I was disappointed too. I wanted Valk Chron 4 as a PC exclusive and a Shining Force reboot developed by Relic. What about me SEGA?
@real reason, yeah I hear you. This wasn't easy though. It required months of work.

Custom missions? Only if they come with new armored units you can pilot.

Yeah, it stings, I guess they'll use it as a selling point to double dip.

Hey, I would absolutely LOVE to be wrong. If Sega can put out a great port then all the better for everyone.

VC1 doesn't have spectacular assets, it's stuff that would be more than maxed out at 1080p on 2008-9 rigs, it's the visual style that makes it look good. Barely, since aliasing kind of cripples the experience, and now that is gone since we're in the supersampling era.

As a PC only guy who has never heard of this game, tell me why I should be excited about this (not trolling, genuinely curious).

Can't wait to downsample the shit out of this, after many years wanting to replay it and dreaming of better IQ.

You mean Final Showdown?
I'll be honest, I'd be fine with any VF game except that terrible Genesis port that is on Steam with online play. Ideally, yes, Final Showdown!

Do you like X-com Enemy Unknown?
Genuinely my favorite game of last generation. Absolutely gorgeous, XCOM-esque combat, and engaging story. It's just a overall wonderful package.

Can anybody tell me how many of the articles they saw that mentioned the petition we organized here on NeoGAF? I'm a bit annoyed at how many are leaving it out because one of the most prominent attitudes we ran into was "Those never work" now we have another petition that has, alongside Dark Souls, worked. Then I see a lot of sites reporting on this that refused to give us coverage and none of them mention the campaign?
I'm admittedly a bit salty about it. The only site I saw even mention the petition in passing was Digital Spy.
