Fob's hard for me to get ahold of, but I'll shoot him an email.
edit; actually I just checked, he doesn't link to any tweets just screencaps that specific one from the old thread.
I don't know, can we maybe get some popular YT guys behind this? Like TB? He's a massive Platinum fan.
edit: wait, doesn't he have some boycott against Sega? :<
TB is and it's been discussed. Unfortunately, unless his policy has changed, he is still boycotting Sega content due to Sega's Shining Force debacle.
I was actually going to message him when I saw some activity on his feed, but it might be better off if we didn't.
Couldn't hurt to try, I'm actually pretty sure his video helped push a decent percentage of the Dark Souls petition votes, as his videos get hundreds of thousands of views.
Not sure if his Sega boycott thing is still going on.
It's also some craziness how Sega SuperStars Tennis makes it to Mac but skips PC.
It's nice to want things but who the fuck should port all these games?

Even during the Twitter campaign a few weeks ago, r/Games was so against this idea.
The post just fell off the top page, I just can't comprehend why this would be such an issue.
1,200 signatures on the petition.
I think one thing that was going for the Dark Souls petition that this one lacks is Blighttown. The prospect of the playing the game without the horrible performance issues was a huge draw for existing owners as much as those who didn't own a Xbox 360 or PS3 at the time.
Vanquished at 60 fps is the closest parallel here.
I don't do petitions....
except this one!
Terribad Bayonetta on PS3 might help us too I'd wager.
I was about to mention, though I have to ask (since I own the 360 version), how bad or rather how much was it improved post patch?
Something I may have missed in the discussion, but any reason Resonance of Fate isn't included as a candidate?

Hmm, ultra protective console fanboys?
I signed it, good luck GAF.
Bayo on PS3, even post-patch, is inferior. There's still tons of slowdowns and stutters during gameplay/cutscenes.
I have both version and I get my 360 hooked only for this game, hell, it's one of the only reasons why I'm keeping my 360. Because I just can't play it on PS3 after playing the 360 version. D:
Soon you will be unplugging that 360 permanently.
Sadly I wont unless Cave starts porting their stuff to PC as well.
John Cheng (President of Sega America) here.
Hey everybody! Sega America is really super stoked at your interest in ports to PC for our great legacy titles. As a longtime fan of Virtua Fighter 5 myself, I completely understand the desire to bring these fabulous titles to a larger audience!
Unfortunately, in mid-1999, shortly before Isao Okawa announced our shift to developing third-party software the Evil God Cthulu appeared to Isao and demanded that we never port these games to PC. According to the terms of our blood-pact with the Evil God we cannot fulfill your request. Sorry.
Proof that it's me. (I think this may be a banned meme here on gaf so I'm not actually linking it)
Remember to retweet and stop by on Reddit if you want to help us a bit more.
I understand that. And obviously it's Sega who makes the decisions anyway, and they're in a much better position to know what is or isn't possible. I'm just disappointed by the sudden alteration of what seemed to be a list of three games that the majority agreed upon. And it seems others agree, but they don't want make a fuss about it because it would ruin the chances of the petition. Something I understand, especially after the time I spent posting on Sega's own forum to get their community to participate in the petition. While TaroYamada could easily alter the petition to include VC back in to the main list (and simply have 4 titles), something tells me that's unlikely to happen, despite how much the support the game got in the Twitter campaign and the original thread. And I don't want to end up in a position where I'm accused of trying to ruin the fan effort.
I guess now that the petition turned out the way it did, the best thing Valkyria Chronicles fans can do now is sign the petition and ask for the game specifically in the comments. Hopefully, they're still motivated to do so, despite the game being removed from Grief's original three choices.
We aren't asking for all the games to be released simultaneously, are we now? SEGA has ported a lot games over the years - even some rather unexpected titles such as Viking: Battle for Asgard and House of the Dead, I am sure that they can allocate a small group of developers to do a few more.

Will do, though Reddit never seems to care.
Ikaruga got greenlighted in 2 weeks. If Cave were smart enough they would start porting thier games right now.
Taro Yamada you might wanna add the reasons as to why these 3 games were picked , so we dont have more people confusing this as some kind of popularity contest.
Both Vanquish and Bayo run on the same engine Revengeance does and is already ported to the PC. And VF 5S runs on Windows. Clearly these are not very expensive projects at all.
VC on the other hand has been exclusive to Sony platforms for quite a while and would cost more to port over. Infact Sony might even have a deal with Sega for the games exclusivity , otherwise we would have easily seen a 3DS version somewhere.

SEGANerds story up, I'll round all these reports up in the OP here soon probably.
Please, dont outrage on the phrases you tweet or text on social networks about this, not everyone does it, but some users do. It is clear that you want your voice to be heard, but remember that there are people who work at SEGAs community team, they are persons too and are there to help you in getting your message to the proper people, final word does not rely on the community team, so it really helps their day and the campaign if you are polite on your say, right?

Maybe, but /r/Games tends to lean more towards PC gaming.

My suggestion maybe to get the point across more is to port the ports of older games SEGA has gotten around to doing years later on Steam.

I think we should post this on Danquish's Facebook page, he liked Vanquish so much that he made an ARS Suit. I'm sure he wouldn't mind getting behind this.

It ended up getting removed by mods due to a no petition rule.

That would be awesome.I would buy sega games on GOG.
Unfortunately I only have Binary Domain and Jet Set Radio out of those options, most of those offerings don't even appeal to me.
