Famitsu: Valkyria Chronicles 3 confirmed… for PSP

The sound of my heart breaking.

The first advertisements and shots in Famitsu make me hopeful, though.

Bit bummed it’s not on PS3. But it’s Valkyria Chronicles!

Even more so, it’s set during the same timeline as the original! Must buy!

Check your Twitter, John.

Also, Released January 27th…. 2011.

Fuck you sideways Sega.

its cause of u stupid mw2 fanboys, u spending ur money on shit shooters, and true quality games like valkyria chronicles get low sales, so sequels come out on psp!

If ya smell what The psychotext is cookin!

@5

Yeah blame the MW fanboys. Activision advertised MW what did Sega do with Valkyria not even an advert.

well if theyd have made it for xbox 360 I would have bought it for $15… thats all I had left after I bought mw2.

Dammit SEGA! You fail at life. Advertise your games. They’re quality but no one knows about them (nor how to pronounce Valkyria for some reason. Makes me wanna rage. Ya know?) SEGA dropped the ball big time on this. I don’t think there’s a single person out there that wasn’t hoping this would be PS3. Listen to your fans. Give us a damn PS3 VC game again.

sega never listen to anyone, least of all there fans.

hell no, i wont it for PS3

Embuggerance.

SEGA’s main market is Japan where people actually know what to look for in a videogame and in Japan, PSP is huge.
After the first game’s sales disaster in EU/US markets, I’m amazed they even wanted to take the risk to publish VC2 outside Japan. Dunno about VC3 yet.
Anyhow, I have VC2 on PSP and it’s every bit as good as the PS3 game, if not better. so…
/whine off

Failure. but stil… As JC said… It’s Valkyria Chronicles.

I don’t see what the problem is, VC2 plays as good on PSP as VC1 on PS3.

A thoused phony fanboys cry because they now can’t use this shit series as cannon fodder for their list wars for the pieceofshit3. A shitty game on the pspflop againts the ds is like listing a turds numrous shit toppings next to a cheesecake.

I think the only word I understood in that little rant was “cheesecake”.

PSP has plenty of games I’d want to play… I’d still rather pretty much every single one of them in HD on a big screen with a decent controller though.

(That’s aside from the fact that VC2 has some gameplay limitations that VC1 didn’t have, entirely because of the platform restrictions)

This is so stupid………….

My condolences, VC fans.

(Retracted and edited)

Or you could just enjoy the game for what it is.

It’s odd that should anyone ever complain about another handheld platform’s game not being HD, small screen or hindered by limited controls that the response is that they’re silly to care about that peripheral stuff and should focus on the gameplay.

People’s principles about games seem to change when it comes down to which platform the game is on.

VC is a great game. Enjoy it for what it is, not for what it’s not.

You do realise you’re still not playing in HD if you do that right? In fact, I’d say it looks worse than it does on the PSP.

Bah, you edited. Anyway, if they didn’t want people to whine they shouldn’t have switched from the PS3 to the PSP. Had it been on the PSP to start with then I wouldn’t have said a thing. Besides, as I said, it’s not just about the screen or the controls… they had to limit the actual gameplay to make it run on the machine.

If you can only bear to play a strategy game if it’s presented in HD then I think you’re kind of missing the point about games in general.

I guess that means you must find every single handheld and Wii game intolerable.

I don’t mind people whining. They’ll do it anyway. Which is fine because it entitles me to comment on the fuzzy logic and selective principles they base their whining on.

I struggle to play any game on the Wii, yes. Also, if they were to take Fallout (for instance) and downgrade it to run on the DS… yeah, I’d find that pretty much intolerable.

It’s all irrelevant though. Thanks to piss poor PSP game sales in the West it’s unlikely that they’ll bother to localise this one.

Excellent! You’ve introduced a new (speculative) complaint into the mix.

Go to @18

I would much rather have Valkyria Chronicles 3 on PSP, than no Valkyria Chronicles 3 at all.

It’s not a complaint 26, just a reason why the argument may end up as rather pointless.

hmm kinda sucky for VC fans i guess

I dont understand why they don’t just port it to port it to the PSN. Good work Sega for giving me another reason not to buy one of your games.

Well fuck you Sega.

Was state of the obvious they were going to release it on the Psp.The 1st had mediocre sales (surely SEGA wasn’t pleased)hence the 2nd on the Psp where the sales were even worse but then again they put less money time and effort on it.Kind of obvious were the 3rd was heading to…

I can’t stand this ipocricy anymore! Where were you (generic you referred to all the people who wants vc on ps3) when vc1 was released? If you read some sites you’ll see much more negative comments on vc3(and vc2) on psp than copies of vc1!
Buy vc1 and sega will develop a new vc for PS3!

Importing the game, then buying all of the DLC (yes, even the shit one) in the hope that Sega would sell enough to warrant a sequel… for the PS3.

@34 – all you do is vindicate their decision to put the franchise on psp

Not sure I’m following the logic behind that one.

@36 – if a psp game sells well that means they’ll make more psp games, no?

clearly VC1 didnt do aswell as hoped on ps3 thus the shift to handhelds where financial risk is lower. Success on psp will not necessarily mean a transition back up to HD, much more likely for them to stick there =/

I don’t think you understood what my response was. 2+2 asked where I was when VC1 was released, I replied that I was buying VC1, and all the DLC.

I assume you thought I meant buying VC2?

It’s a crying shame.
