toxicitizen Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Holy shit, coming to PC!! https://twitter.com/SEGA/status/526884918677471232 Someone move this to multiplat, I guess. You nerds better fucking buy it this time. This game is seriously so good. If it flops a second time, heads will roll. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Former obscure early PS3 exclusive being ported to PC, where most people will wait til it's less than $5 IN a bundle....good luck with that.Should have wasted time porting the first Bayonetta or Vanquish to PC instead. Would have maybe made some money on those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, this is admittedly a very weird choice for a port. Especially considering that Vanquish uses the same engine as Metal Gear Rising, which is already on PC, while this is running on some weird PS3-centric engine. But I think there's definitely an audience for VC on PC. It is a turn-based strategy game, after all. And, more importantly, this makes me very optimistic that Vanquish is also coming.

Strangelove Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I'm curious as to what Sega's expectations are. If this sells well, Im sure Vanquish and whatever else will be on the way, but how well are they expecting this to sell? I know PC gamers flaunt the number of people who buy stuff, but I wonder how much Sega is expecting to make on this. If I were a PC gamer, I probably wouldnt pay more than $20 for VC1. That should be the absolute base max price. If not lower. $15.Its such an old game, yet still not old enough to be remade or lifted from nostalgic obscurity. Its in specific bargain bin timeline. Only people who like this game are people who owned a somewhat gameless phat PS3 in 2008, werent repulsed by the tired anime aesthetic at the time and actually WANTED a strategy rpg on our console(me included). Not a lot of us really. Another vocal minority. I guess this could be like Demon Souls and word of mouth carries it. Who knows. I expect a lot of "overrated" neogaf threads a week after this comes out on pc. Neogaf fucks a lot of shit up with their overinflated hype.

toxicitizen Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, I love the enthusiasm on GAF but holy shit do a lot of them lack the basic common sense that should come with it. As for SEGA's expectations, that's a good question. I think they should be fairly realistic. They've been in the PC market for a while now and have a lot of titles on Steam. I mean, if even Square Enix and their batshit insane, out-of-touch-with-reality sales expectations can be satisfied enough to do a late port of FFXIII, then surely SEGA can be pleased too.

TCP Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Clearly just hyping up interest for a western Valkyria Chronicles 3 Vita port. Edited October 28, 2014 by The Undead Poet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Don't blame me. I actually bought it on PS3. I'm hoping that it does well enough to merit porting the other two games, maybe even give them a little spit shine so they don't look so shitty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I bought it on PS3 too, back when it came out. Paid $60 for it. They should have ported it to IOS instead/as well. Xcom is pretty rad on iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Clearly just hyping up interest for a western Valkyria Chronicles 3 Vita port. Yeah, and it'll come out around the same time as the Final Fantasy Type-0 Vita version, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I was pretty pissed about Type-0 being a PS4 port only until I saw that they're basically rebuilding the whole game a la Wind Waker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I freeze my ass in the Sierras to come home to this. A worthy sacrifice. Time to face Rape Tank and Bitch all over again. Then again, I have Marina, blitzkrieg Scouts and anti-armor Assault... I'll be fine. With that all said, my price is $30 max. I'll be buying it for sure though once i get some sort of sale since this is one of my favorite games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 That stupid tank is the place where I quit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, up until that tank mission I didn't even know you could save mid-mission. That mission forced me to both find out and abuse the shit out of it. It's a pain but it's really worth putting up with because it's fairly early on and the rest of the game is so damn good. Besides, after a few attempts you'll know exactly where to position your guys to both avoid the tank's fire and get a good firing angle on it. It's frustrating but it's really not that bad, just requires a little bit of persistence. Now, announce a release date already, SEGA, so that I can decide whether I'll wait for this or just play VC2 on my Vita already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Eventually, all you'll need to achieve S Rank on missions are highly leveled Scouts. One mid-game level I completed by just moving Alicia. But yes, everyone remembers the tank. Yes... and when you think you're nearly through, Selvaria shows up.

toxicitizen Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Coming November 11th, includes all the DLC, £14.99/€19.99/$19.99. http://segabits.com/blog/2014/10/30/segas-valkyria-chronicles-officially-announced-for-pc-here-are-the-details/ Seems very reasonable. Never got around to buying any of the DLC so it'll be nice to finally play it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) While I'm glad the game is coming to PC (being such a great RPG), the quality of the port is still in question until its release. Here's hoping it's a good one. Edited October 30, 2014 by Saturnine Banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well this is a start https://twitter.com/SEGA/status/527882885282689025 Valkyria supports 720p / 1080p, as well as higher resolutions depending on your max monitor resolution. 60FPS supported as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
