Probably not. Bethesda RPGs were made on a well documented engine that's been around since the 90s, this is on a one-off engine that may have been tweaked a bit during porting.

Wait preloading is up or am I misreading? And for those with region locks, can you not have it gifted and then activated via VPN? I have no idea how that works.

My download speeds peak at 1.1 MB/s. And that's fast for my country... It's gonna take me 2-3 days to fully retrieve the gameSo I'm with you in the complaints about how slow it's going to be!
I feel with you, I have a max speed of 1.2mb/s but really that's roughly 4gb in a hour so about 4 hours for Valkyria, how will it take 2-3 whole days for you? D:

As long as it's not Bink, We'll be fine.
I don't think there's a preload yet. If it was a preload I wouldn't be so annoyed that it's slow
Did you hack Valve servers to get access to the dev depot for VC?

Feels weird as hell knowing this was only a week ago when it was announced.
Time ain't flying, this feels like an eternity after I somehow felt like the 4 weeks from announcement to release for FFXIII PC were a blink. Though I suppose that's the effect of having been completely ecstatic for this after that petition earlier this year actually having results rather than the "Might as well give this a second chance" feeling I had for FF13.

hows the port durante

it's probably portastic
It's time to rebel, people. Durante has access, but we don't. We can't accept this! I've already placed a hidden camera near Durante's PC. It only gives me a 64x64 feed, but if I press the "enhance" button enough times maybe I can read his password. In the meantime, make sure to tell nothing to him about this!

I'm curious - For any old VC1 vets, what do you guys think was the vertical-slice (I'm sure we all know what a vertical-slice is here, right?) level of VC1? My memory of VC1 has ever so slightly faded to the point that I can't quite remember the full detail of VC's missions even though I try and give this a playthrough at least once a year.

I would guess the quintessential VC level would be the one where you had to defend the main gate to your home town. It was fairly early in the campaign but it was the start of them ratcheting up the difficulty, with enemy variety and flanking maneuvers.
Amount of love to VC on GMG is pretty heartening. On Steam, however, besides me, only one friend have it and another one wishlist it.
The game not even on top 20. I know Steam store is divided on regions, but I don't know whether my store reflect Asia or only SEA. That region lock for some Asian countries is pretty silly.

If I'm not wrong, games from Southeast Asia are region locked. But maybe you can use VPN.
As far as I read, people breaking the game with Order and scouts is because the game scoring/grading system are based on turn count. Well no wonder people break the game, grading performance on turn count is one way to not reward tactical creativity.
I live in Indonesia and the game is already preordered in my Steam library. So I guess this mean East Asia?

It's Top #25 at the moment so hopefully it's going to climb up pretty fast. It has some pretty damn heavy weights surrounding it. Pre-load would help a lot since buying it lets you prepare and download the thing.
Well, I did my part and pre-ordered even though I probably won't get to play this game for quite awhile.
Still happy supporting this game. It's one of the best. Hopefully, there are significant sales and SEGA sees this as a move for bringing the PSP games to PC as well. Or maybe make a full fledged non-handheld Valkyria Chronicles 4.

VC4 isn't out of the question as long as the wallet vote works, and if Nonaka, Tanaka, Terada, and Ozawa are still at SEGA. Remaining Sega Wow and Media.Vision personnel could form the new team, assuming that internal mix-ups and departures have occurred between early 2011 and now. As for new game ideas, VC and VC3 both develop Radi Jaegar's interest in returning to Fhirald and rebelling from within a distracted Empire. I'd like to see his swordplay become a special ability if he battles sans tank; the artbook profile mentions his strong bonding with how many Fhiraldian generals remain, so that's another plot element.

Incoming pcgamer "performance review / how to fix/improve it"
If only there was a Sega game coming out in the next few weeks that had a Valkyria Chronicles costume previously in the series that Sega could bring back as DLC for the new game...

Durante use your powers to summon Vanquish to Steam.
Damn I'm jellyAhem:
Oooohh that's a good point. Will have to keep a look out on PCG just in case.

I wonder if that means the pencil sketch SSAO implementation Durante was talking about possibly doing would be available upon release. o:
Well... I just did my part and bought it through GMG even though I completed it last year. I can play through the DLCs though and achievements will probably motivate me to do another playthrough. I hope this sells enough to bring SEGA to bring VC2 or 3 to the PC, or at least port more titles like Vanquish.
Ahem:
Nice!
We aren't, just Durante that got access to the game early somehow.How are you guys preloading? I don't see the option to do it anywhere.
He is a reviewer, isn't he?
Either reviewer or writing an article about the game are my best guesses, mhm.
I'm pretty sure he is part of marketing too.
no region locks on this game. Its unavailable on some countries but thats it.(people on those countries can activate gifts of the game without issues afaik)

"Game has Durante's Seal of Approval". Yup, I can see that working!
Now, this needs to succeed for Vanquish to happen. Platinum, SEGA, Volvo, pls.
edit: They better put up preload in the coming days... I don't really want to spend 3 days downloading post-release.
Of all the games in the campaign Vanquish is the only one I do really want to replay, so hoping VC(did my part) sells a lot and perks some ears in Sega.

I suppose if there was ever any stainless-steel reason to have faith in this port, it's that Durante got a review copy. Doubt they'd send a bad port to the guy who tears apart and eviscerates bad ports.
I think it's more that Durante wrestled the copy from any person who tried grab it at PC Gamer. I'm curious to see how many sites will review the game. I assume Durante will definitely for PC Gamer, but besides that, I got a bad feeling most sites will ignore it. That seems pretty common for many late PC ports (unless they're really huge titles).

So if you're asking for us not to read into it, we must read into it.
This means the port is good!
Well, I have bad news for you!
you only poured some oil to the fire with this post (><)
so how is it? please, spill some beans

Same principle - doubt Sega would be sending review codes to the media if they themselves lacked faith in their work.
Oh, thanks! I misread some posts on the last page, I thought people were talking abuot slow preload speeds.
Durante doesn't strike me as a reviewer, he's first and foremost a tech guy.
I don't think anyone should expect for him to write a review for the game, but most likely he will do a tech writeup similar to the one done for Dark Souls 2.
(Pity PC Gamer didn't ask for his input on the PC port of FFXIII as well, would compliment their review of the game quite nicely).
