are the Japanese voices included?
not that the English VA was bad, but I'm just wishing for far too much here. This is already a great announcement and a very encouraging sign.

Will VC3 finally make it's way here on the PC?

I just learned that you can do texture dumping/replacement with PPSSPP using DX9 backend and TexMod.
It would be pretty cool if when this game came out if people (I'm sure i'll probably try) looked into ripping the textures from the PC version of VC1 and porting relevant textures over to VC2 emulated.
The biggest sign of it being a handheld game when emulated are the super low res textures.

Hope that switching around the audio won't be too hard. Considering replacing some of the ingame music with the piano arrangement versions assuming the audio isn't in some arcane format.

I actually like the English audio for VC but it's reaaally jarring during that one moment because of unchanged lip syncs.

Just pre-ordered on GMG with the discount. Guess the keys won't be sent out until the 11th. Can't wait.

Good job, Sega.

Reckon that would be playable on a surface pro 3?
They are pretty solid. Sega even went back and fixed some of their few missteps recently.

Sega has been pretty good on the PC front lately. This port is looking real nice. I'm excited.

Their track record is generally very good. They even recently patched up their old Dreamcast games from a few years ago.
edit: damn it Grief, almost verbatim.
It came like two years into the PS3's life (three into that generation of hardware period) and arguably still looks better than a lot of Japanese games that came out.
Well, I do need to give it another look, but this is also kind of a game that focused more on doing a visual style well rather than life like visuals, so that'll help it hold up better.
2008 game. Double checking it IS an early 2008 game for Japan (which kind of fits into being launch era, albeit barely) while late for the US, but at any rate no trophies and the original banner on the side. Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2 both came later in 2009, and the former had trophies while the latter had BOTH trophies and the new banner, so yeah.
People seemed to really like the third, but I guess that's a mix of that import-only thing and the fact it went with a style more preferable than the school setting, which they certainly did not execute well at all. Eliminate both of those and it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be a weaker followup.
Oh yeah, the PC version will have Steam achievements, right? I wonder what they'll be.
There's a fan translation of the third game available if you ever want to try it out.
The art is amazing. I was looking thru some of the screens and some of the backgrounds are pretty barren so maybe some ppl don't realise it's almost 10 years old!
I actually believe it is significantly worse than the second game. It heavily reuses maps from VCII to the point where when I stopped playing 10-15 hours in, I think I saw exactly 1 all-original map. All the customization that 2 allowed for -- which was pretty much the best argument VCII had for its smaller map sizes and monster hunter style gameplay format -- was stripped down into something way more simplistic.

So you are saying skip 2 and just play 3? I still haven't played it but I heard it drops the grinding and is structured more like VC1.

Hopefully this will give sega a massive hit to release VC3 to the west and contiune on with the series
I think people who say the structure of VC3 is more like 1 than 2 are nuts.
The grinding is intact, there are just less customization options and thus less incentive to repeat missions for some dumb materials. But you're still forced to go through the same handful of maps for tens of hours at a time. The scenarios and enemy placement still feel like they were spit out by an algorithm.

I'd be willing to discuss your petition if you like, not sure how much I can help especially as I'd be keeping #SEGAPCPorts my main focus for the near future. I was considering a potential Atlus effort after this SEGA one... but Dragon's Dogma wouldn't be a bad target either, we should consider some type of small scale poll amongst GAF's PC audience to gauge interest level. Like I said in the petition thread, I didn't think a SEGA PC ports petition could work at all until I saw the interest level Grief generated with his twitter push. We SEGA fans tend to think of ourselves as few in number though. I imagine Grief and Nillansan would also be open to discussions, based on my previous interactions with them both
Anyways, love the reaction folks. Looks like another good PC port from SEGA, still trying to get an answer on who is handling the port. I'm not sure if it'll be ok for me to discuss it publicly once I do find out but I'll keep you up-to-date as best I can.

Aaaand bought. I played the demo waaaay back in the day and I always meant to buy the full game. If it helps Sega along in the process of getting Vanquish and Bayo on Steam then that's an added bonus.

Just an FYI folks, if you voted in the Golden Joysticks, you should have received a 25% off voucher for GMG. I just used mine and grabbed the game for $13.50. The code is personalized and I think one time use, so don't share yours unless you don't mind somebody using it up.

The #SegaPCPorts campaign needs to hit 20K signatures before the end of the year, I got some more giveaways lined up so hopefully that will help us reach our goal.
I am definitely up for another campaign of similar scale to #SegaPCPorts that targets Atlus or Capcom. Getting the Persona games or Dragon's Dogma on PC would be incredible, but let us discuss it early next year.
Wouldn't that also be #SegaPCPorts?
Anyway, you should send out an email to all the campaign backers when Valkyria is released.
Was that voucher only for people who didn't get XCOM? I can't see any mention of a voucher from them in their emails.
