Please be on the PS3. I've got portable VC that I can play anywhere Sega, now I want a proper console sequel with epic set piece battles again. Make that shit happen!

Great, now I'll be humming the VC1 main theme all day at work.

I'm probably the fourth or fifth person to second this, but I have the feeling that they're actually moving in the opposite direction. Which makes me sad.

Yeah, I bet they feel by exaggerating the anime side they'll draw in more sales. I doubt we'll ever see another VC in the stylistic vein of VC1.

the style in that pic looks better than VC2 to me, can't say anything negative. just bring it to PS3 and everything is forgiven.
Just pop in the VC2 thread and you'll see the platform isn't the only thing they need to fix after 2. It's a start because then you won't have the hardware limitations that led to small maps and the like, but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say 'all is forgiven'. Nope, they need to take the school setting away, remove the arbitrary credits system and all associated pointless grinding, go back to VC1's variety in missions and setpiece battles, get a better cast of characters and so on before VC3 can be as good as the original.

These new characters... don't seem like a good sign but I don't know whether VC2 is just making me quick to worry. Will wait and see, it's only a week to go now.

VC is a Japanese niche series, so don't be surprised if it's only for one platform like the first two.

i won't be but it still hilarious that kids still argue about platforms in this day and age

it's like recess in 1st grade all over again

"the super nintendo is WAY better than the genesis!"
"no YOU'RE STUPID THE GENESIS IS THE BESTEST"

The multiple map system is by no means a problem. Battles are far more fast-paced and have more tactics involved in them this way.

You think this time we'd be dealing with the Federation, rather than the empire? They certainly have been trying to undermine Gallia in both games, and its time to teach them a lesson.

To be fair, I loved how the Empire and Selvaria was developed in the Selvaria DLC.

It would be really neat to play Valkyria Chronicles 3 from the side of the empire as the main fighting force against the Federation. Remember that the events of Valkyria Chronicles is actually a sidebar to the real war going on at the moment.

I agree, the mutiple maps really wasn't the problem with VC2.
 
Poor SEGA really can't win with sequels.

Yeah, it sucks to be in SEGA's shoes.

You can't win them all :lol

Imagine what happens if they announce this mutiplatform: "OH MY GOD, I SUPPORTED THE FRANCHISE AND SEGA BETRAYS ME LIKE SQUARE ENIX"

That would probably be enough to turn me off any home console sequels tbh. I guess it bothers me when they resort to focus testing their entire art assets despite having such a great visual template in their first game. We'll find out soon enough though I guess.

The problem with your example is that every "fix" is applied to a series that isn't the series that fans asked to be fixed. I will give you Sonic though, they're completely screwed on that series no matter what they do.

Sega could win. But they have to make a sequel to GunValkyrie first : P
 
i can't see any problem with character design in this picture .
at least i can say for now that the art is way way better than VCII IMO

wow! you really want them to lose money :lol

I'm pretty confident that they're screwed no matter what they do with any series. SEGA fans have the most fucked up expectations of any crowd I've ever seen.

All they really need to do is make a new Daytona USA game, that's all.

the real problem is that there is a lot of SEGA's IPs to the extent that's so hard to please everyone .
but again i am not saying that SEGA is doing their best , no they don't . but they are not that bad either , they need to improve in some areas ...

In a perfect world, it would make them billions.

i know that , this apply to a lot of other SEGA IP's :(

They should just stop making sequels. Everything's a one-off, it's the only way to maintain maximum happiness.

i also can't believe children are still into platform exclusivity :lol

If you're referring to all the "please be on PS3" talk in this thread, I think they're just saying that they want a console version and not another handheld game.

Yes, I could imagine how this board would be like if it becomes X360 exclusive or mutitplatform with the PS3 being the inferior version.

All they want is a console version regardless of where it goes....right.
 
Are those two supposed to be the main characters? Their look and attitude is like they're the enemies. Not the formidable kind either, more like Team Rocket-league enemies...

I hope that this game is released on the 3DS to spite all the people who complained about VCII on PSP.
That would be ok with me. I'll probably buy 3DS day 1.

And VC was anime as hell too. Stupid flying pig.

that's probably what SEGA means to me . they were always known for their new IPs and innovations .
when you look into the past you will notice that in every generation their best games for the most part were new IPs , even this generation with games like VC on console and Border Break on Aracde .
but that didn't work for them it seems . nowdays they are focusing on established franchises
 
VC3 exclusive to the PSN
PS3 game
 
Segata Sanshiro said:
I'm not sure which would produce a funnier results, nor which would be more SEGA-esque: VC3 exclusive to 360, or VC3 exclusive to 3DS.

VC3 for the 3DS would make them lots of money and is a very smart decision to build a market near launch, so they wont do it. VC3 exclusive to 360, is it possible. I am betting more on PS3 exclusive or mutiplatform.

Same here, but I want to spite all the people bitching and moaning about portable valkyria.

VC2 shows that it can be done, the problem is that SEGA kind of went a little far in experimenting with new stuff.

Pureauthor said:
Haven't Sega gone on record saying that VC stays with the Playstation line?

I would not be surprised if they kept it exclusive

They can with with me in one simple way:

Make a new VC game on PS3/360 with the original visual style and down to earth characters.

Its too similar to the original!

What about the gameplay stuff from 2? If the gameplay were like VC2 more than VC1, would you complain?

Then there will be people complaining about the mascot characters, buxom girls, anime tropes, lack of mutiplayer, cliched anime designs, etc.

It will never end.

All I know is that if it ends up on a console there's a 90% chance I won't be playing it, so...

Scrap the Credits System. Sweet tangerine sauce the Credits System blows.
 
The problem is that SEGA doesn't allow enough time between sequels to essentially duplicate what fans loved the first time around while tinkering just enough to make it a new game. Nintendo has this figured out. One Mario Kart per generation is all you really need for example.

Sega either allows too much time to pass between games or pumps them out way too fast, thus they never have that mix of what's old is new again helping them out or they end up with something that just feels old.

That's why most of their best games are the first iterations in a franchise.

I don't recall ever reading that, but the anime was done by Sony's animation division, so maybe that's what you were thinking of.

Well I heard it from duckroll and I consider him pretty reliable when he comes to this kind of stuff...

VC3 on 3DS would be delicious, though.

It would be great, but remember that SEGA doesn't make good financial decisions. It would be very financially smart to build a fanbase near launch, especially on the console that will rule the world.

Which is why it will NOT happen.

A crying shame.
Instead, we'll get a quick Sonic game (like a port of SA2).
Oh well, as long as it's not iPhone exclusive, it should be fine.

Unfortunately that's the way sequels work. Either you make changes and people hate them or don't make any changes and are accused of being creatively bankrupt.
 
Oh god, now we've got a filthy Nintendo fan in here preaching how SEGA ought to make games.

Oi, Dave Long, if we liked your shitty babby Nintendo games, we wouldn't be sitting here waiting for our next slap from SEGA, would we?

Maybe its just me but I think its a horrible idea to move the series to an unreleased/unpriced handheld. Doesn't seem like a good use of the fanbase they already built.

I haven't started VC2 yet but id be interested in hearing what people think can be improved/upgraded in the gameplay for VC3.
