Sega's weather forecast message to PC audience: VC4 is not coming to PC.

I loved VC1, never played 2 or 3 as they never came for PS3 or PS4 (no handhelds for me), and the real time crap of Valkyria Revolutions was never an option. I can only hope they port 2 and 3 to PS4 some day.

Yeah, that part about PSP only sequels is odd. Maybe they signed some decade long exclusivity contract?
Additionally the third game is not even available in english. It's hard to believe Sega will suddenly decide to port them both so I guess they'll end up completely forgotten. Which, assuming they're at least half as good as VC1, is a shame.

The first one was great. Such a pity no PC release

Loved the one that came out for the PC, and I'll get this for my switch. Finally, a third game to play!!!

I thought the original was ok. The combat was fun, but the characters and dialogue were terribly childish in that typical JRPG fashion.

Will not; not on pc - actually I saw this article somewhere else this morning. They suggested it was likely it would show up on the pc if it sold ok.

The one on PC was cool. Wish it had more difficulty options, i.e. disabling saving mid-battle. That could lead to cheesing through tough battles and, well, it was hard to resist. :) The game was made for it, really, so couldn't do much.

Story was cool, characters were cute, charming, typical yet above average JRPG stuff there. Combat was really quite cool, though. Very unique, moving your squad across dangerous battlefields, etc.. Some interesting ideas but I never did finish it, didn't even get close. May return to it someday.

Or maybe I'll play @joxer's favorite, Last Remnant! :)

This is what keeps me away from most JRPGs, alas. Sometimes I can overcome it, but I've regretted buying so many that I've finally learnt my lesson and am a bit more circumspect now. I've owned the first VC for quite a while now. Sometime I'll get back on that bike and give it a go…

Favorite my arse.
I've already stated why I can't recommend TLR to anyone. Except developers who want to try some new combat systems to check how an unique style can be ruined with grind.
Actually the graphics is also childish in that game, there is no blood and gore although the game is about war. Which didn't stop me to call it nearmasterpiece.

Censoring, selfcensoring and trying to avoid bans on international market led to this "childesness", not just in VC1. Because the game wasn't available on PC on release, there were no modders to add at least some nudity.

Anyway, don't blame it on developers. Next time you vote, check who wants to get rid of censorship. When it's gone, also will Nintendo childish designs.

I still hope somehow this game will do appear on PC, thus:

Me too. Really like vc 3.

Never heard of this game until now, but it looks excellent. I'd buy it, although I do think I can do without the vinyl tank =p.

Looks good in the trailer and Ragnarok looks way better than that fool pig.

So, is it proper to start taking bets on which of the characters is going to die?

I have yet to finish VC1 (first time I rage-quit in some mission I failed after a few attempts, second time I didn't even get to that point, I'm getting suckier at tactics I guess). Then I'll play VC2 and 3 in an emulator probably.

VC1's story was a tad too melodramatic for me, but I loved the setting and aesthetics of the game. Will always give this series a chance.

I thought the gameplay in the first one was great. Reminded me how infrequently I really enjoy the gameplay in modern games.

If you played it on PC, then yes, gameplay with K+M is spectacular. Not once I said that game breathes as if it was ment for PC in the first place.
But playing it with mushrooms? I don't think it could be fun. Seems console audience thought the same - the game sold some small number of copies on consoles. And those copies mostly ended up like in azarhal's case. Never finished.

No azarhal it's not tactics, it's controls. Thus I refuse playing VC2&3 with mushroom emulators.
If someone still suspect tactics, then hint for all those who have problems with VC1 - make sure scouts are at least one level higher than other classes. If you're in the middle of it, grind a few misions then improve scouts.

Sega has confirmed that this game will indeed be released for all of our lovely computers. Oh happy day!!

Good news thanks for sharing that Carnifex.:party:
Now we just need 2 & 3 released on the PC.

omg omg tis true!

No date specified, but will happen sometimes this year. Note - the steam release will contain full japanese audio for all of us who don't want silly dubs.
Instabuy for me.

Not really. Both are Nintendo Gameboy outdated inferior designs garbage.

I never thought stalking old Sega forums and people would pay off, lol. It sure did yesterday!!!

Yeah, I'll be purchasing this as soon as I see an option to do so. Preferably on good old games, but if not, steam will suffice. This shall, this must be mine!!

Wrong both released on the PSP/PlayStation Portable , and I enjoyed both of them.:biggrin:

And what exact difference is between gameboy and psp?
The owner company. Both are same shit different wrapping.

As for enjoyment, I guess you're easy to please. :p

This, Yakuza, Shenmue… Sega is cranking them out!

I might buy Yakuza just in the hopes that Persona eventually gets the computer translation treatment as well, some day.

I'd love to see that, too. They'd honestly be stupid not to release Persona 4 and 5 for PC, seeing how successful similar games (Trails of Cold Steel, anyone?) have been.

Huh? I really don't see any similarity between Cold Steel and Persona. Cold Steel feels like a product that somehow escaped from PC instead of being originally on it. Persona breathes as if was originally ment to be a phonegame.

You're right though, while I'm not interested in Persona games, those sell like a cure and not porting them to both phones and PC would be a serious mistake.

How the Persona games haven't ended up on great old games or steam is beyond me. That is basically just easy money waiting to pour into their coffers. Sure, you got to translate and optimize, but I'd be astounded if these games didn't turn a profit. Of course, to really capitalize, you'd need to translate all of them for the computer audience, not just one or two.

I guess I was sorta thinking, like…ToCS, P4, and P5 all have you playing high school students who have to balance class, social lives, dating, social links, and dungeoneering? They definitely have their similarities when you think about it…

I'd agree, there's a correlation between those games listed. Lots of games bring higher education into the mix, but not many make it an integral focus for much of the entire game like those.

PC Gamer likes it.

From everything i've read i'm very optimistic however the only reason it is not a day one buy is i'm going to wait for all the dlc to be released.

Yeah same with me, I'd rather buy it all in one fell swoop than pick it up piece-meal.

Well I don't play DLCs so that's not a problem in my case. I do want to play the first 3 before I play VC4 so that is a problem.

I don't know if there's a point to playing the games between.

VC1 is almost a masterpiece and is available on Steam, there is every point of playing it.
VC2 apparently has a story for 5 year old kids which is not a surprise being Nintendo Gameboy or some other rubbish hardware title, definetly no point bothering with.
VC3 apparently has a mature story so perhaps there is a point to play that one.

Apparently. No PC version means I saved money and didn't check myself if what I've heard about VC2 and VC3 is true.

Bumpity bump.

For those who are interested when DLC and what DLC:

Note that "A Captainless Squad" DLC is free for all who preordered and will be included within the game automatically at release.
Others won't be able to get it for a month. Stupid Sega…

Quoting Steam:

No comments on that? Okay, I guess everyone here except me loves when something smells like DLC:The Game.

VG247 made tips and hints article, not much useful but good for some laughs:

Some new reviews appeared:

Kotaku - played on PlayStation, without score:
wccftech - played on PC, 9/10

In hopes that at least some of you will see the light of day:
