BUY IT YOU BASTARDS

but really though, it sounds like a good port job. sega knows the pc market.

 

[oxacillin]

It was from a rather dismissive quote from Patrick Klepek to the announcement of the port.

And that was after he blew off arranged interviews with the guys running the petition.

You mean Patrick Klepick is dismissive of opinions that aren't his? I'm shocked. This is the guy that was "clapping" when Tetsuya Nomura moved off FFXV.

I just hope good sales for this, drums up more Japanese Sega games for the PC. And I hope good sales for VC on the PC means that it would have a future rather than dying a pitiful death on the PSP.

I kept trying to post this but GAF wouldn't let me

Glad someone did though!

 

[ZombieFred]

Just bought five copies, one for myself and four others to my friends. I have done my part and there's no excuse for the rest of you to do the same!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

 

[luckygodzilla]

It's quite different from X-com (because it's quite different from every other strategy game or SRPG), but the base research / army development mechanics are pretty similar. I gave a rough overview of the battle mechanics earlier in the thread:


Anyway, I think if you like strategy games at all you should at the very least try it, especially at this price. There's a very good chance you'll enjoy it.

Sounds good, I've been itching for a good strategy game for a while now, will definitely pick this one up.

[InternHertz]

Bought, I loved the game on PS3 so it's a no brainer.

Now please develop VC4

 

[bender]

I wish everyone could've been as hyped as I was after Ikaruga released on Steam 1999 game with absolute no chance to be on PC makes it to PC... And maybe one day we get Radiant Silvergun too.

So, yeah, happy that a dream came true!

edit: Top #13. Keep on climbin', baby!

Can we add Rez to the dream list? *drools*

[Peff]

Goddamn at the onslaught of good news from Twitter.

Now to buy those gift copies.

This is all so beautiful.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is GMG sending the keys right away?

My excuse is that it's strategically better to buy a few copies around launch as well, considering placements on the various top seller lists and the front page.

And this is a strategy game after all.

 

[Rizzi]

I am so happy.

 

[Dictator93]

So whos anime nazi-fetischist dick do I ahve to suck to play this with 120fps?

Please do not have a 60fps cap.

 

[demosthenes]

They send a day or two before launch to allow pre-load.

It's almost frustrating to see these posts. Sega is doing a lot right by this port. As a PC developer I would feel like "when is enough, enough?"

 

[Teknoman]

Just to reiterate, the soundtrack is top notch stuff.

Fierce Combat (best)

Desperate Fight

The Barracks

Main Theme

 

[Johan Liebert]

Great news, it took me a long time to find the PS3 version. So glad it's getting a PC release, Buy this game people!

 

[PAULINK]

GMG and some other site. Code SLICKD-EALS22-OFFGMG gets you the game at $14.04.

WOW! I could have saved 40 cents, I feel like such an idiot!

 

[PuppetSlave]

Preordered.

Love the game but the whole scout rush is best tactic really holds it back. Would love a sequel that addressed this and made it more tactical.

 

[Dictator93]

I am still buying the game!

Just want to enjoy it at the quality settings my monitor allows.

 

[Chariot]

There is no helping it, buy it again.

 

[Begaria]

I honestly consider Valkyria Chronicles the spiritual successor to the Tactics games (FFT/Tactics Ogre) we got in the PS1 era. I am so happy Valkyria Chronicles gets another shot at success, and I hope it does really well.

 

[Durante]

When you support arbitrary timesteps

But really, coming off a 6 year old PS3 exclusive, that furthermore is not at all a twitch/reaction based title, 60 FPS is more than good enough.

Desperate Fight

The Barracks

So good. The main theme is amazing.

 

[dorkkaos]

Pre-ordered.! Will buy for friends as well lol. November needs to come sooner lol

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Quick question, will the pc verison also have japanese audio? Or is it only english subs?

I can't speak on the dev side! When I first read the post I was actually wondering what higher than 60 FPS would really do for this game.

I am still buying the game!

I understand.

 

[Teknoman]

Now to hold out hope that Sega eventually makes a Shining Force in the same style for consoles/PC, with Valkyria style graphics engine, classic art design, 1-3 story style, and music from Sakimoto.

 

[demosthenes]

Durante has lit my hype on fire.

Dammit!

About as much hope as I have of Takenouchi returning to making game music.

Well, we could have said the same thing about this very thread

But yeah, reeeeaaaally unlikely. Even getting the Valkyria re-skins would be pretty hard.

 

[xemumanic]

SOLD. And I may never even play it.
But I must support this move.

 

[thehillissilent]

Ok. I did my part by buying this. It is time to bring more games to PC, Sega!

 

[OverBlood 3]

Bought. £10.53 is too good to miss.

 

[AlphaProspector]

I didn't pay attention to that! Colour me double-hyped now.

Moe carpet bombing, kawaii cannon fire, cute hype tanks and all my money, SEGA! Still waiting for that 60fps robot-punching action of Vanquish. Gotta keep on dreamin'!

edit: Top #12. Insert gif reactions.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Played this for the first time earlier this year and loved it so I'll definitely pick this version up, especially at that price.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Fuck it. To play this game again in even better quality than my PS3 copy, i'm getting into PC gaming ASAP. I would not do that for any other game

 

[kevin1025]

Why this month? I wanted to buy Dragon Age

 

[Orniletter]

Man, It would be amazing if great PC sales could give the series a second wind (even if it only means that we´ll get...say... HD ports of 2 and 3).

[redhood56]

I only heard great things about VC, so I'm down for preordering.

[Shadow780]

Is 2 and 3 coming?

Well they can skip 2 is 3 coming?

 

[Dictator93]

right click >> save

No word, all we can do is get everyone to buy this and then hope.

 

[Eusis]

Good enough for me (well, for now.) Hopefully they also give it the next gen treatment for digital release so you get some PS4/XB1 exposure.

 

[Lyonaz]

Bought it.
