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

Japanese Audio included, English dub is pretty good too!

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is GMG giving out keys right now?

For the heck of it, I took screenshots of PS3 version of the same scenes shown in steam store screenshots:

[SolVanderlyn]

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!

We're friends, right?

;D

Will buy this. Will advertise to the world at large. Will play the shit out of this game, again, and Salinas won't die this time.

If you look for the definition of "unstoppable force" in the dictionary you'll get this picture:

Embrace your new goddess.

First I was confused about the tank model, then I remembered that yo ucan change the turret

Tree textures are upgraded.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Does GMG only gives keys near release day?

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

Nevermind. Thanks!

 

[Tizoc]

Oh man I need this. Please say Yakuza is next.

Would be satisfied with Yakuza 1+2 HD?

Welkin's nose is the perfect internal rendering resolution check.

Looks like they are even doing AA on the line drawing on PC. Not only is it higher res, it's far smoother even considering both resolutions natively!

Edit:
Great job on the comparison by the way!

Now we need the little bird comic that says "Aww, yiss" and it's full house.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Welcome brother

Thanks guys!

Wait a minute...when the fuck did i become a full member!? Whoot, i guess.

 

[-MD-]

 

[Dreams-Visions]

well played.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

So it seems the filter is indeed making the draw distance worse somehow.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Just bought it. Have gotta support moves like this. Valkyria Chronicles was one of the first games I bought on PS3, in fact I owned it before I even owned a PS3! (Bought to play on a housemates console).

Beautiful game. I hope they can get it across to PS4 / Xbox One soon too.

Now Sega, we buy this one - how about Skies of Arcadia next or even Resonance of Fate? Kisses!

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth!

Oh shittt!

 

[Plopboy]

Bought, but I still can't believe it is coming.

 

[legendaryskitch]

Definitely bought. I happened to have a 25% coupon from GMG from Civ Beyond Earth anyway. $13.50 for this game is a steal IMO

 

[batfax]

If you look for the definition of "unstoppable force" in the dictionary you'll get this picture:

Weird, that doesn't look like "Challenge Lover" Vyse.

Definitely buying this.

 

[shark sandwich]

See Square-Enix, this is how you do a proper PC port.

 

[Linkark07]

Well, just pre ordered from GMG.

Thanks to a voucher, managed to discount the price to $13.50

Can't wait to play this again. And of course, finally enjoy the DLC.

Looking at these shots, the PC version is definitely running at a higher internal resolution, but it looks like a lot of the assists weren't super high quality to start.

 

[jadjei]

well played.

What anime is this? Talking about the gif lol.

 

[rockmanjoe]

Just to reiterate, the soundtrack is top notch stuff.

Fierce Combat (best)

Desperate Fight

The Barracks

Main Theme

Finally a game with a Hitoshi Sakimoto OST on PC Main theme is soooo good!

 

[-MD-]

What anime is this?

Kill la Kill.

I don't even like anime but I liked that one a lot outside of the dumb transformation sequences. Very fun and genuinely funny at times.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I don't understand this game. Is it a JRPG or what?

 

[Chariot]

What anime is this?

Kill La Kill

 

[Durante]

I don't understand this game. Is it a JRPG or what?

It's an SRPG.

That plays quite differently from any other SRPG.

Looking at these shots, the PC version is definitely running at a higher internal resolution, but it looks like a lot of the assists weren't super high quality to start.

The assets aren't particularly detailed, but it works well with the art style.
And now without eye-piercing aliasing!

WHY AREN'T WE FRIENDS

[Finalow]

for how long does the gmg code last? Can I still use it tomorrow or in a couple of days?

 

[Pie and Beans]

Bought on GMG as I had some Playfire monies to finally use.

Still shocked at how out of leftfield this was. Then just released in a fortnight of announcement.

Ah ok.

So what is so good about this game? story? characters? gameplay?

 

[Durante]

Ah ok.

So what is so good about this game? story? characters? gameplay?

The unique gameplay, but also the story and characters. And of course the music. And the use of non-photorealistic rendering which isn't just simple cel-shading, something far too rare in games.

 

[Almighty]

Bought and now the waiting game begins. I am very tempted to buy a gift copy for my brother as well.

 

[TatteredHat]

Probably one of the most memorable games I played on my PS3, but I never got around to playing the DLC. Definitely going to pick this up.

 

[UnrealEck]

Cool, now to wait for impressions to see if it's a competent port.
Then if it is, I need to figure out a way to make some money.

 

[cwistofu]

crap paid 18 on steam, is there a way to cancel a prepurchase?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Thanks man.

I might have to watch a review to see what all the fuss is about. I mean damn, look at that metacritic score.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/valkyria-chronicles

 

[Fireblend]

Bought it from GMG. Figured for $14 it's a pretty safe bet even though I've never heard of this. Plus I like SRPGs.

 

[gngf123]

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!

I was so hyped for Ikaruga. One of the few Steam games I bought as soon as I could.

VC is just about to become another one.

 

[Durante]

Cool, now to wait for impressions to see if it's a competent port.

It requires a Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz and a Geforce GTS 240. And it has been confirmed to support arbitrary native resolution, 60 FPS and control remapping. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Begaria]

Ah ok.

So what is so good about this game? story? characters? gameplay?

I know it's subjective, but by far the best thing about Valkyria Chronicles is the story and characters. It's rare to see a game with such a compelling cast, especially with how likeable the protagonist is. Since the game is pretty much split 50/50 between "watch a scene" and "play a battle" (besides tinkering with your squad/tank), it focuses on story more compared to a typical RPG. It's compounded with a beautiful soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, Vagrant Story, Tactics Ogre, etc).

The gameplay is really, really good to. I just preference the story over it in VC. The English voice acting is superb as well.

 

[fatgamecat]

Now you guys just need to do some challenge runs like low turns, all kills, no damage taken, no orders, and no leveling/upgrades.

 

[iavi]

If the Steam page is correct, Sega's handling this port/goodness in-house too.

In previous super late port cases, like Viking, they listed the port-house--in that case: Hardlight.

bossin'

 

[Char Aznable]

Any good discount code for GMG ?

 

[Durante]

Thanks man.

You can also have a look here if you want to see some GAF impressions of the PS3 version.

 

[R_thanatos]

Or install the Steam app and buy it now.

i went home and bought it.

Felt good.

no steam app for me ( not available )
